| I just downloaded SQL Express yesterday. When I first downloaded it it was running. Then I might have changed a setting and now it's stopped and I can't get it started. I haven't set up any paths to anything, I just want to get it started so I can then try to export into it from my SQL Server db that is up on my hosting site |

| In SQL Enterprise Manager > SQL Server Group I have my hosted SQL Server db and this new one called 'ALLEN' that was added when I downloaded SQL Express (I want to use SQL Express as my development db for doing imports)I was trying to get it to run in Enterprise Manager so I was doing different things in the SQL Express config manager like enabling/disabling TCP/IP, trying SQL Server authentication/Windows authentication, etc.There was an old alias saved from a long time ago, so I deleted it. I was doing different thing like that to get it to run |

| I am using SQL Server 2000 up on my hosting site. I want to use Express for a development system. Do you think I should uninstall Express 2008 and find a version of Express 2000 to install ?Also do you recommend Management console, and uninstall Enterprise Mgr ? |

| My host is fine, I could upgrade to 2005 whenever I want to, I just started out with 2000 and it's working fineMy db is used in an e-commerce site (shopping cart)It's a simple structure that just holds items, categories, orders, customers, etc. There are never more than a couple of concurrent users logged in at one time and only about 5000 items, items need to be added 100 at a time in the future.What I wanted a development db for is to practice doing imports when i add items. But maybe just doing my imports from Excel will work fineDoes importing from Excel => SQL Server work OK? |
