This content is no longer actively maintained. It is provided as is, for anyone who may still be using these technologies, with no warranties or claims of accuracy with regard to the most recent product version or service release.
Use Microsoft SQL??Server 2005 Express Edition (SQL??Server Express) to create and view a tuning database if a different version of Microsoft SQL??Server 2005 is not installed. SQL??Server Express supports a single processor, and a maximum database size of 4 GB.
Create an Empty Tuning Database
Use the sqlcmd utility from the command prompt window to create an empty tuning database. For more information about sqlcmd, see Using the sqlcmd Utility (SQL Server Express).
To create a new tuning database
Open the Command Prompt window.
Locate the directory that contains sqlcmd.exe.
By default, the path is %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL??Server\90\Tools\Binn.
At the command prompt, type a command using the following syntax to connect to a SQL??Server Express server.
The SQL??Server (SQLExpress) service must be started if it is not running.
sqlcmd -S myComputerName\SQLExpressNotice that the command prompt changes to a number one with an angle bracket (1>).
Use an SQL query to create a new database, for example:
CREATE DATABASE myTuningDB GOType QUIT to return to the command prompt window.
Import Log Data into the Tuning Database
Use the MSSLogToDatabase command-line utility to import Speech Server trace log files into the tuning database. See the following example syntax, which identifies the server as SQL??Server Express and uses the /noencrypt flag to specify an unencrypted connection. SQL??Server Express supports only unencrypted connections.
MSSLogToDatabase *.etl /database:myTuningDB /server:.\sqlexpress /noencrypt
For more information, see Import Log Files into the Tuning Database.
View the Tuning Database in Analytics and Tuning Studio
Use Analytics and Tuning Studio to view and analyze speech application log data contained in a Speech Server tuning database. To specify that the server is running SQL??Server Express, identify the server using the text .\sqlexpress in the Connection Properties dialog box.
