I've officially done everything. I've uninstalled everything I can think of. I've cleaned the registry until it sparkles. I've removed all directories having anything to do with VS or SQL. I've even run the uninstall tool multiple times and been told everything is OK. However, SQL Server Express STILL tells me there are "beta versions" of stuff on my machine. Do you have any suggestions, or should I just give up in disgust?!?!?!
I'm setting up SQL Server 7.0 as follows: 12 Gb initial data load; heavy transaction OLTP; 4 processors; RAID5 disk space NOT an issue.
I'm trying to figure out what a reasonable initial size for both the Transaction Log and Tempdb should be. I was thinking 100Mb for each. Is this reasonable, or could either afford to have more?
Is there a percentage of the .mdf that is recognized as a general rule of thumb for setting up the Transaction Log and/or Tempdb?
Also, is there any value in assigning Filegroups in a RAID5 setup?
I have a query that searches through a 4 million record table. The data is fed from the UNIX flat file systems so the data is not in optimal search format. So I created some views that massaged the data and then index them. I select and join the original table with the view, with NOEXPAND hint on the view. My question is this theory right: If I put the criteria in the FROM join part then it will make the join easier than if I put it in the where clause?
Example (any difference) SELECT stuff1, stuff2 FROM UglyData u INNER JOIN MassageTable m ON m.RecNumber LIKE '112%' AND u.ID = m.ID versus SELECT stuff1, stuff2 FROM UglyData u INNER JOIN MassageTable m ON u.ID = m.ID WHERE m.RecNumber LIKE '112%'
Does column order really matter for Query Optimizer to pick index.Case 1: Say my CUSTOMER table has one composite index containing FirstName and LastName. FirstName exists prior than LastName. Does the column, FirstName and LastName, order matter to have Query Optimizer to utilize the index when I write WHERE clause in a SELECT statement?Statement 1:SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER WHERE FirstName = 'John' and LastName ='Smith'Statement 2:SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER WHERE LastName ='Smith' and FirstName = 'John' Will both statement 1 and 2 use the composite index or only statement 1?Case 2:Say my CUSTOMER has two single-column indexes. One index is on column FirstName. Another is on column LastName.For statement 1 and 2 above, which index will be picked by Query Optimizer or both? How does QO pick for index?I read couple book and some books say column order matter but some say no. Which one should I go with? I'm kind of confused.
I have a question i need to ask. Since i'm new to SQL Server, i did a bit of experiment with SQL Server 2005 Express. I made up a simple Access Database file and migrated it to SQL Server. it was success which is good. Now i have a real Access Database file which i built for my client. Since he uses the SQL Server 2000 service pack 4, i was wondering if the version would matter a lot.
There are two fieldsA1 nvarchar(30)A2 nvarchar(800)I know nvarchar field is alterable length, if I store a string mystring='abc' to A1 field or to A2 field, I think they use the same disk space, so I think it's always a good way to define a big length nvarchar field such as A3 nvarchar(4000) for any length string, becuase they always use the same disk space, is it right?
I have two tables that I am trying to join and both have similar columns with which I am trying to use. One is Date and the other is LOGdate. Date's format is "01/01/2000" BUT LOGdate's is "01/01/2000 12:41:00 PM/AM". Can I join these two tables?
Does column order matter when creating a table? For example, Should NOT NULL columns always come before NULL columns? Should most frequently used columns always be near the top? What about text, ntext and image data types? Should they always appear near the end of the column order?
I have two tables that I am trying to join and both have similar columns with which I am trying to use. One is Date and the other is LOGdate. Date's format is "01/01/2000" BUT LOGdate's is "01/01/2000 12:41:00 PM/AM". Can I join these two tables? If yes how do I get rid of the excess time on LOGdate.

I would like to create a database that keeps track of our companies subject matter experts. I have roughed out some of the tables. I would appreciate any feedback on if this is the right approach and if there might be any issues when I start writting a front-end (probably VB 2005).
What makes this interesting (at least for me) is that a subject has an owner and at least 1 "expert", possibly up to 3. Here is what I am thinking for tables:
If I join Table1 to Table2 with a WHERE condition, isit the same if I would join Table2 to Table1 consideringthat the size of the tables are different.Let's assume Table2 is much bigger than Table1.I've never used MERGE, HASH JOINs etc, do any ofthese help in this scenario?Thank you
As I am creating the non-clustered indexes for the tables, I dont quite understand how dose it really matter to put the columns in the index key columns or put them into the included columns of the index?
I am really confused about that and I am looking forward to hearing from you and thank you very much again for your advices and help.
Sometimes we have some pretty serious CPU spikes and I would like to be able to pinpoint the exact issue. I have been able through the DMVs to associate a session with an operating system thread. That's great if I have a batch that's causing the problem with a non NULL sql_handle. However, how do I further narrow down what is going on with the background service broker tasks using the DMVs? Or am I just at the blind mercy of SQL Server at this point? What can I query to know what the heck is going on?
I am currently running Windows XP Professional Service Pack2. It already has MSDE & SQL Server 2000 installed (although I just uninstalled MSDE in the vain hope that it might present the installer with a more straightforward upgrade).
I have tried installing with the default instance & a new instance (I don't really care - I just need to install the darn thing). I just want the basic database & Books On-line, nothing fancy.
Here is the Summary log, for what it's worth:

I suppose an error dialog (or log message) that actually told you what is wrong and then what to do is too much to ask for. (Or an installer than just copied all the files into place). :(

I tried to search internet, however, I couldn't get solution.
My SQL server 2005 is standard version, OS Windows server 2003 sp2, I am using Administrator account to install it.
I have compile my application into a Smart Device CAB and also including SQLCE CAB file for SQL.
I have users who choose to install SQLCE into Storage Cards instead and causes the application not to function, when asked which destination to install.
I've done some search and found out about "wceload.exe /noaskdest" but I'm using NSIS to compile into a single .exe file, and its calling "CEAppMgr.exe"
How can I force SQLCE to install into its default directory without asking user?
Win XP Pro SP2IIS 5.1SQL 2005 SP1 (Developer edition)VS 2005 SP1.Net 2.0IE7 (didn't work on IE 6 either)Latest updates from Windows updateI have set up SSRS successfully on several machines. But on a new machine with standard install I have the out of the box SSRS report manager running with issues and would like to resolve them. Report Manager will serve image files from my project. But it won't render deployed reports, not even one which has no data sources. From within VS 2005 the same reports render, no problems. The same reports published to another SSRS machine render fine.The browser erorr message is "Value does no fall within the expected range".Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I've tried looking for a solution in other threads but I couldn't find anything that was completely the same as my situation. I got a new pc at work and I've tried installing SQL Server 2005 on it but everytime I try to install it, regardless of services included or excluded with the install, I cannot get through the install without this error. Below is the excerpt from the Summary.txt log file.

I've searched for and found similar problems that deal with the microsoft.sqlserver.notificationservices.dll not being found but I haven't found a fix that worked for me. These are the fixes I've refered to thus far.
The answer that seems to fix this problem for everyone is to set the MSDTC service login as the NT AUTHORITYNetworkService account. The problem for me is that this is already set to this profile and I've tried resetting the services and rebooting the machine. I did not have a problem with my old machine, which as far as I can tell, is the same configuration, so I know this install should work.
I'm running Windows XP SP2. This is not the upgrade to SQL Server 2005 SP2, this is the original disk that came with Visual Studio 2005.
Has anyone else faced this issue where changing the MSDTC login wasn't the solution? Also, this is my first post, so I apologize if I've left anything out. Just let me know if you want any other information.
I never installed previous beta versions on my computer before. But now I have some serious problem after an incomplete de-install and a re-install of SQL server 2005 express advanced. I hope anybody can help me to solve this. Because the first installation eas not succesfull I had to do an de-install. I have tried to unstall through start/control panel/ add-remove programms and even there not all programs were removed. And that caused the problem. After that I wanted to re-install again but an msi file was missing. So I did a de-install agian. Tried to re-install again but with a lot of errors. After looking at the library I found a program: Windows Install CleanUp. I installed it and that even gives an error for all programs installed with SQL 2005. After that I ran a program called MsiInv to clean but without any succes because this program reported a run-tim error. I have all reports on my computer but don't know how to attach them. If you think you can help me I could send you all the reports. Regards,
I have never installed sql server before and I didnt know if I just take the sql server 2005 standard edition media and boot off it and do a fresh install that way or do I have to install Windows server
I went to one of the Microsoft "Ready To Launch" events over a year ago. Microsoft was gracious and gave everyone who attended a free copy of Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005. I have installed the Visual Studio and use it all of the time. I also installed the SQL server 2005 but I can not find the application on my computer. After the install the only items that appear to have been installed are the following: SQL Server Configuration tools(SQL Server Configuration manager,SQL Server Error and usage reporting, SQL Server surface area confiuration, Reporting Services configuration). There is also a menu icon labeled "Microsoft SQL server upgrade advisor" and SQL server upgraded wizard. That is all. I can't find anything that is analogus to the Enterprise manager that was in SQL server 2000 or anything that is analogous to Query Analyzer of 2005.
Can someone help me out? We use SQL server 2005 so I know how it looks. I just can't see where it insalled. I don't think it did?
Hi, I need to have on a client machine the bcp.exe installed. What components do I need to install from SQL Server 2005. I would like to have the absolute minimal installed on this machine. Thanks.
I need to re-install SQL 7 sp3 on NT4. I have read that I should detach the user databases of which I have 3, uninstall SQL then install SQL, then reattach. But what about all the jobs and packages and security I have setup? It is my understanding that this is stored in the master db. Won't that all be lost? If so I guess jobs could be scripted, packages could be saved, but what about the security?
I installed 6.5 into a server that aleardy has 7.0. Toward the end, it said 'Setup could not connect to the SQL Server'. Now as I try to start MSSQLSERVER I got an internal NT error.
I am stuck. Should I remove 7.0, install 6.5, then 7.0
I have a new box that I have install SQL7 on and I also need SQL 6.5 on there to get back to SQL 6.5 databases on another server. The only way I know how to do this is uninstall SQL7 and then SP4 and then start with SQL 6.5, SP4, and SQL 7. Has anyone found another way?
I am on a client site, and they are trying to install SQL Server 7 (standard) on an NT 4 server (SP5), and hitting a problem that prevents the installation completing. The error log generated includes `Attempting to initialise Distributed Transaction Coordinator.....Failed to obtain Transaction Dispenser Interfaces`. If anyone has ideas on what the problem is, I would appreciate a response.
