Is there any better way to profile a SQL Server Express instance than below?
I am doing the below:
Run the sqllocaldb info utility in the command prompt to find the instance name.
Run sqllocaldb info v11.0 to find the "Instance Pipe Name"
Use the instance name (as below), connect to SQL Server Express from SQL Server Profiler

How can I create a server name for database engine in logging in to SQL Server Management Studio?
Or how can I find my default server name? I have been using running SQLCMD -L this code in my command prompt but it turns me nothing it just says Servers:
You can try using Localhost or . to connect to your local instance.
Also, to reattach your database (from the mdf file), you can use the Attach Database command that is showed in the following image.
Hope this helps
is it possible to use SQL Server Management Studio 2008 to connect to instances of SQL 2012 localdb?
I have installed the 2012 Native Client, which contains the ODBC driver, but I still can't seem to use the SSMS 2008 to connect to my localdb instance.
I have no problem using the sqlcmd to connect to the localdb, so it is not the server problem.
Thank you
You could do it via named pipes this way:
1 - Get the address of a (localdb) instance by running the following command: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\SqlLocalDB.exe" info [InstanceName] (if its the default instance you're interested in, specify v11.0 as the [InstanceName] You can write it in CMD to text file with the command:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\SqlLocalDB.exe" info v11.0 > C:\db_details.txt
2 - Copy the "Instance pipe name" value, e.g. np:.\pipe\LOCALDB#1E0FF40B\tsql\query
3 - Paste the "Instance pipe name" value as the Server Name.
Install CU6 on system with SSMS 2008R2 as it contains some fixes related to compatibility issues with SQL Server 2012.
If you can see the 2012 server in your SSMS 2008R2 than you have connected it.
Open a new query window and execute the following code:
select ##version
try this :
ip Address\sqlserver2012 in the server name.
then set the Authentication method = SQL Server Authentication and provide thw login and password fields.
I am using sql server 2008 r2 and it was working fine but after restarting my computer it's not working , I tried to open configuration manager but it give me this error:
Cannot connect to WMI provider. You do not have permmission or the server is unreachable note that you can only manage sql server 2005 and later servers with sql server configuration manager Invalid class [0x80041010]
I tried this command:
mofcomp "%programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"
but sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof is not present in the shared folder and I don't know how to manage this error
Is that definatly the correct path:
For x64 :
mofcomp "%programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"
For x86 :
mofcomp "%programfiles%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"
I had installed SQL Server 2008, but faced some complications with that. I then installed SQL Server 2005, and now installed SQL Server Management Studio for SQL Server 2005 successfully.
I am not able to connnect to the server name it suggests.
TITLE: Connect to Server
Cannot connect to POONAM-C586A95C\SQLEXPRESS.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
This version of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express can only be used to connect to SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 servers. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.ConnectionDlg)
It doesn't show any other option of SQL Server name, though I changed the name as I remembered but for no good.
How can this be solved?
It sounds as if you're trying to connect to the 2008 instance with the 2005 SSMS. It's not clear whether you un-installed the 2008 instance.
Suggest installing the SQL Server 2008 SSMS.
Confirm/modify as needed that you're running the SQL Server instance that you require. This will show you which instances are available.
I would also check to make sure that you're connecting to the correct port. I'm come across a similar error before and the solution was to specify the port to connect to, i.e.
compname\instancename,portnum
I have downloaded SQL SERVER MANAGEMENT STUDIO but SQL SERVER AGENT is not found.
Should I install it separately?
Can anybody tell me the link where SQL SERVER AGENT is available as a Freeware to download it?
The agent is not visible if you use SQL Server Management Studio Express to connect to an SQL Server. You need to install the client tools that come with the server setup to get SQL Server Management Studio.
If you are using SQL Server Express, it has no agent.
SQL Server Agent is a service of SQL Server, not SQL Server Management Studio (which is, in and of itself, an administration tool).
Since SQL Server Agent is part of SQL Server, it's not free. You can learn about creating a job in SQL Server Agent here.
What, pray tell, are you actually trying to do?
You (or your company) will need to purchase the full version of SQL server in order to use this functionality.
The other option is to find the command-line instruction that will achieve what you want and then use Windows Task Scheduler to run the command on the schedule you want.
