Find your central servers and then grab the network cables and follow them round the building. If you have to punch your way through walls, then so be it, but be really determined and follow them all the way round. You might have to crawl through some really tight spaces to follow this, but it's worth it.
Ultimately you will come to some PCs. What you have to do is take the top off each one and look really hard at the hard drive (it's called the hard drive because you have to look hard and not because it hangs around on street corners looking to pick fights). Take a look and see if you can see the 1s and 0s that correspond to the SQL Server installation. Real programmers can tell what software you have installed just by looking at the 1s and 0s, no matter how fragmented a drive is. If you see the pattern, SQL Server is installed.
Sometimes you might have to tunnel outside the building, but if you have to then go ahead.
Another method is to stand and shout very loudly, "Here Sql Server. Come on boy.". Remember to pat your knees very loudly to get its attention. All the Sql Server puppies will come bounding towards you.
Alternatively, you could always read the bit that says you shouldn't post programming questions in the lounge.

This is taking 4ever to load... would it help to put this in a pivot table?? i have been trying but i cant seem to do it (i only have an example of where count is used in a pivot table??)
Thank you in advance.

The following connection string works for me:
"Data Source=.\\SQLEXPRESS;database=master;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=5;User Instance=True"
However, when I try to navigate to any other database on the SQLEXPRESS server, for instance MyCompany, it doesn't work. The database is located in a directory that is one back from where the master directory is located, and I don't know how to direct it there.
master is located in SQLEXPRESS\Databases\System Databases\
But the database I want is located in SQLEXPRESS\Databases\
How would I accomplish that? Nothing I do seems to work. I've tried the |DataDirectory| thing I've found on many websites, but that doesn't work... because I'm not trying to point to a database on the computer I'm using, I'm trying to point to one on the SQL Server.

Attach the database in your instance of SQL Express, then change the database name in your connection string from 'master' to the name of your database.

Thanks for the reply Paul. I have the file attached to my instance of SQL express, but it doesn't seem to work.
C# keeps giving me an error exception that I catch and read the contents of when I do that.
Cannot open database "mycompany" requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'BlahBlah\BlahBlah'.
I think it's because when I attach to the instance of SQL express, it isn't attaching the database in the same location as the master and other system databases are in... as noted in my initial post.

You're confused by how Management Studio is presenting the information. The master database and the other system databases are placed under System Databases in the tree to keep them out of the way of your user databases, to both reduce noise and to slightly reduce the risk of accidental damage. As far as the server itself is concerned there is no separation, there is only a single namespace for all databases.
If you cannot log on to a database that is loaded into SQL Server but can log on to other databases, it typically means that you don't have permissions in that database. I haven't got space or time for a full treatment here, but basically your Windows user account or SQL Server logon has to have a logon to the server (under SQLEXPRESS\Security\Logons) and then a user account has to be mapped (under SQLEXPRESS\Databases\yourdb\Security\Users). The exact permissions for what you can do depends on the server roles that the logon is a member of, and the database roles that the user is a member of.
I also note you're using User Instances. This effectively creates a private instance of SQL Server just for this user. My understanding is that you cannot then see databases loaded by the parent instance, only ones loaded into the private instance using AttachDBFilename. I suspect that you want to remove the User Instance parameter from the connection string.

Mike... I already had all the permissions set up. Apparently the last thing you said about the user instances, that worked. I turned it to false and I connected up to the database. THANK YOU!
You are an amazing help, and I don't know why I didn't think of that before. I'm trying to learn C# and databases currently to supplement my C# studies, and this was something that was bugging me.
Much appreciated! Sometimes the most frustrating problems can be caused by the most simple of mistakes.

Firstly, to get a type object for a built-in type is more simply expressed as just:
typeof( int ) I don't see why using typeof(string) wouldn't work for your requirement, but if you do have trouble, consider using System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlString instead.

With what? You haven't stated what your problem is. What is wrong with the code you have posted? Are you getting an error?

Hi, I am trying to update my local Access DB with data retrieved from my Sybase server. I use this ADO query under the Access ADO connection:
"SELECT * INTO LocalTbl FROM OPENROWSET('ODBC','DATABASE=DB';'UID=USER';'PWD=PWD';'DSN=SYBASE_DSN','SELECT T1.M_SE_LABEL AS BASKET_NAME,T2.M_SE_BSK_COM AS MX_SECURITY, T2.M_SE_BSK_WEI AS WEIGHT FROM SE_MKTOP_DBF T1 ,SE_BKC_DBF T2 WHERE T1.M_SE_INUM = T2.M_SE_INUM AND T2.M_SE_RTYPE = 'INSTR'')"
but get Error number -2147217900 (Syntax error ner FROM)
Can anybody help me with this?

does the Openrowset wrok in your computer?

Sure, I´ve tried with two Access DBs.
The thing is that I am not sure OPENDATASOURCE/OPENROWSET works with ODBC connections (wonder if someone can clear this up to me). I think I should use OLEDB instead, but have no OLEDB driver installed for Sybase.

Sorry, I'm a liar. I checked with two Access connections and I still get the same Error (-2147217900). Any idea?

select @str4=tb001_id from cm_tb_001 where menu_activ = 1 and child_lvl = 0 and [15]='1';
select tb001_id from cm_tb_001 where menu_prnt=@str4;
Here i want to pass @str3 to a this query
select @str4=tb001_id from cm_tb_001 where menu_activ = 1 and child_lvl = 0 and @str3='1';
but the @str3 column is an bigint column. ex. 15 i.e column name
In sql sever this value is storing as [15] as column name. Now i want to
pass this value to this query
select @str4=tb001_id from cm_tb_001 where menu_activ = 1 and child_lvl = 0 and @str3='1';
Please help me on this.

You would need to construct your SQL statement as a string and execute it using the EXEC statement.
