HOW DO I ACCESS SQL SERVER TO USE NORTHWIND DB

I am attempting to access the SQL server in order to use the Northwind database.

Typing in via the command prompt the following:

osql –E -1 “EXEC sp_attach_db N’Northwind’,N’c:\SQL Server 2000 Sample Databases\northwind.mdf’”

The command prompt response:

[SQL Native Client] "An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server when connecting to the SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connects."

Also, I loaded SQL Server Management Studio Express and not sure if I even need this. I click on the Icon but I’m not sure what I need to do to establish a logon and connect.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!!

configure sql server express to

accept remote connection by

runing the sqlserver surface are configuration

Start>programs>sqlserver2005>configuration tools>surface area configuration

>configuration for service and connection>remote connection>local and REMOTE connection

how do I access an error cause inside an exec statement

Hello:
how do I access an error code when
SELECT @.RESULTS EXEC('DBCC DBREINDEX('''+@.NAME+''') ')
fails because the database..table does not exists ?
@.RESULTS comes back with nothing but
I get
Server: Msg 2501, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Could not find a table or object named 'Internet_Forms.test'. Check
sysobjects.
(Problem since @.NAME is populated from sysobjects.....)
Thanks
TThe batch is aborted after encountering this specific error, so you cannot
followup and catch the error. One thing you could do is check if the table
exists like so:
if object_id('mytable') is not null
begin
<o.k. do something>
end
else
begin
<table does not exist>
end
The following is a good tutorial on the subject:

How could I obtain the domain name from SQL?

Dear fellows,
I would need from T-SQL job or through any friendly-user function (VB
front-end app) the aforementioned value.
With EXEC xp_cmdshell 'IPCONFIG /ALL' I get values such as HOST NAME or
IP Adress. Problem is the following: if oneself launch IPCONFIG /ALL from a
DOS session it is obtained DNS suffixes list with values hoped: domain,
Active Directory and so on. But launched from Query Analyzer due to it
returns more than a row appear as NULL value.
Does anyone know how/where it is available?
Best regards,> But launched from Query Analyzer due to it

Is this the only problem?
CREATE TABLE #foo(cmd VARCHAR(1024))
INSERT #foo EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'IPCONFIG /ALL'
SELECT * FROM #foo WHERE cmd IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #foo|||Dear Aaron,
Is this the only problem?
No!
Your solution not works because of appers the line empty.
Thanks a lot for your support,

Okay, so is this really that difficult?
SELECT * FROM #foo WHERE cmd > ''
