How to create an SQL Express database
In this guide we explain how you can create a database. We use the
Microsoft SQL Express database server that can be downloaded from the
Microsoft website.
Step 1. - Download and install Microsoft SQL Express.
You can download the Microsoft SQL Express Database Server from the following
location:
Download details: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
Step 2 - Create your database in Microsoft SQL Express
You can create a database and the appropriate database tables by opening
a windows command prompt (Start->Run->cmd.exe), and starting the SQL Command
interpreter by typing:
cd C:\
sqlcmd -S .\SQLExpress
|
Once the SQL command interpreter is running, you should enter the following
commands
create database ozeki
GO
use ozeki
GO
sp_addLogin 'ozekiuser', 'ozekipass'
GO
sp_addsrvrolemember 'ozekiuser', 'sysadmin'
GO

Step 3 - Make Microsoft SQL Express ready to accept your username and
password
Unless you have mixed mode authentication configured in SQL express, you will
not be able to connect to your database from Ozeki NG because Ozeki NG runs as
a system service in the background. To enable mixed - mode
authentication, you should open the registry editor (Start->run->regedit.exe)
and in the Registry you should change the LoginMode value from 1 to "2", here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQLServer
LoginMode =2
|
After this change you might have to restart the SQL Express to make sure the
changes take effect.
