I have a named instance of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition. I want to install VS Team System Foundation Server on the same box, but this needs a default instance of Standard or Enterprise edition. I installed the Standard version alongside the existing Developer instance but now I can't start SSIS and without it VSTS Foundation Server won't install.
I have tried to uninstall SSIS and reisntall it from both the Standard Edition and Developer edition media, but it makes no difference, the service still won't start.
Could the SSIS failure be due to having different editions on the same box? If so, is it possible to change the edition of the Developer instance to Standard (or to change them both to Enterprise edition) without having to uninstall and start all over again. The developer instance is used by several team members, so I don't want to have to uninstall it if I can help.
We have an existing installation of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (64bit) that we are ready to go live with and would like to change the edition to Enterprise Edition (64bit). We have purchased all the appropriate licenses. We would like to avoid UN-installing the Developer Edition and RE-installing the Enterprise Edition. There must be some way to change a registry key, provide your serial number via a command line utility or re-run the setup with the license key provided and direct it to just change the edition from Developer to Enterprise and not change any of the other settings like service account, sa account, collation, etc. Any help is most appreciated.
Hullo!Doubt it matters too much, but I'll just start off by saying that I'm using C# ASP.NET 2.0 in Visual Studio 2005.I currently have a UID field entitled "ID", and I'd like to make it autonumbering so that users can input stuff into it through a simple web interface and not have to worry about the user's ID.Anyone know how I could go about doing this? I can't seem to find a way through VS2005's GUI, and I can't seem to find anything on the internet about doing it through an SQL statement.Thanks!
I am trying to make a DDL change to an existing column for a transactionally replicated table. I am attempting to effect the ALTER on the Publisher. Below is the statement I am using:
[Begin Code Snippet]
ALTER TABLE Products ALTER COLUMN LegacyProductID varchar(20)NULL
[Begin Code Snippet]
This is the error message:
Msg 4928, Level 16, State 1, Line 3 Cannot alter column 'LegacyProductID' because it is 'REPLICATED'.
Column properties currently are:
INT NULL Not For Replication - False Primary Key - False
I read this article http://www.replicationanswers.com/AlterSchema2005.asp but still cannot either get the statement to work or identify a reason it isn't working.
We are having problems when creating new subscriptions or when trying to edit existing subscriptions. When editing an existing subscription, the report manager displays "An Internal error occured" message and when I look in the log the error says Only members of sysadmin role are allowed to update or delete jobs owned by a different login
When trying to create a new subscription the report manager displays "An internal error occured" and the log says System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The schedule was not attached to the specified job. The schedule owner and the job owner must be the same or the operation must be performed by a sysadmin.
We are running sql reporting services 2005 sp1. The report server database server is on a different machine to the reporting server. The existing subscriptions were set up previously on another report server which was originally our dev server. These subscriptions are working just can't change them, or create new ones. Any help is much appreciated.
I just downloaded the "SQL Server 2005 Express SP1", but I found that there is no upgrade option, it will just install a new instance of SQL 2005 Express. So, I just curious to know, how do I upgrade to SP1 smoothly?
Hi, How to Change Increment Value for existing Identity Column (MS SQL2000) ?

but I need the future id generated with step 2 4233596 4233598 4233600 I would like to do it using T-sql because I will need to do it every day after syncronising with another SQL server .
I've create a partition function and a partion scheme for my database. Now I would like to change an existing table to use these partition. The table is replicated. How can I do this?
Hi there. I am new to the SQL Express. I just finished installing the SQL Express 2005 with Advanced Services on a Windows XP SP2 computer. The first thing I noticed was the service manager (used to be on the taskbar) was being removed on the Express Edition. How do I get this feature back if it's even possible? I know you can find out the server status from the Configuration Manager but it's handy if the status is showned on the taskbar after logging in.
We have records in one table that are marked as accepted/rejected based on eligibility start and end dates in another table. We're loading new eligibility data into an ETL table and if the start or end date is going to change, I want to report any records that need to be reviewed to see if their status should change. The new dates could be before or after the existing dates, and the new or existing end date could also be NULL. Currently I'm using 4 > < statements and it seems to catch any scenario, but I'm wondering if there's a better way:
DECLARE @RECORDS TABLE(RecordDate date,ID varchar(8)) INSERT INTO @RECORDS(RecordDate, ID)VALUES('20100101','99'),('20110101','99'),('20120101','99'),('20130101','99'),('20140101','99') DECLARE @ORIGINALDATES TABLE(StartDate date,EndDate date,ID varchar(8)) INSERT INTO @ORIGINALDATES(StartDate,EndDate, ID)VALUES('20100101',NULL,99)
Combination of Student_Id, Subject_Id and Quarter columns is the primary key. One student can take one subject in a quarter. Now the new requirement is a student can take multiple subjects in a quarter. So need to add another table like below:
NEW table name: Student_Subject and column are below: Student_id Subject_Id Quarter1
All the above three columns combination is primary key.
After the new table Student_Subject created, remove Subject_Id column from Student table.
When the user clicks on a button after selecting multiple subjects and provide col1 and col2 data then one row gets inserted into Student table and multiple rows gets inserted into Student_Subject table.
Is there any other table design that satisfies one student can take multiple subjects in a quarter?
Current set-up: three node cluster running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2 with two instances of SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition SP2.
Virtual node 1: Standard Edition, default instance, Database Engine only
Virtual node 2: Standard Edition, named instance, Database Engine, Analysis Services and Integration Services
Physical node A: Prefered node for virtual node 1
Physical node B: Failover node for both virtual node 1 and 2 (thus having two installations of Standard Edition)
Physical node C: Prefered node for virtual node 2
We started off with this set-up because there was no need for Enterprise features, and SQL 2005 supports failover clustering with two nodes in Standard Edition. Saved a bundle of cash, so everybody's happy. Now we need to run a solution on virtual node 2 that requires Enterprise features in Analysis and Integration Services, so an edition upgrade is required on virtual node 2. I have done some research and found several edition upgrade examples, but none that match the above scenario. We are running production on these machines, so I can't risk experimenting with command line options, I have to be right the first time.
Is it possible to mix two editions of SQL Server 2005 in one cluster? Can I upgrade virtual node 2 to Enterprise but leave virtual node 1 at Standard? What procedure do I have to follow to upgrade all three components of virtual node 2 to Enterprise Edition on both physical node B and C?
We were recently acquired and need to move our existing SSRS 2012 mail server from our internal SMTP service. The internal service doesn't need to have a 'real' account to send email out. Everything seems to be setup and running under the internal service.I think I need to change the Email Settings information in "Reporting Services Configuration Manager". Namely the Sender address and SMTP Server fields. But without actually making these changes, I don't see where it is going to ask for the password. Really hate to make changes on a production server.
Do I need to change the "Log On As" account in the "SQL Server Configuration Manager" as well? If so, does this need to be the same account as used in the Sender Address (above)?. there is a lot of ink about making additions to the "rsreportserver.config" file. Our existing file does not have any of these entries.

The media is copied onto the drive, so the files have not changed. Its the same media and the same version. Can anyone tell my what might be the cause of the error?
I have a table with the column description. Lets imagine that I have the records:
"a" "b" "c"
If this was a List and I wanted to move the "c" to the first position, I would simply remove the "c" and insert it in the 0 index position.
How can I do this with sql ce?
I could create another column named position and every time I would want to change the position, I would increment every other positions below. Example, "c" goes to first position:
position - description 1 - "a" 2 - "b" 3 - "c"
->
1+1 - "a" 2+1 - "b" 1- "c"
-> 1- "c" 2 - "a" 3- "b"
But if I have lets say 100 thousand rows and I want to move the last one to the first position I have to do the operation 100K times.
Hi, One of our main servers running on SQL Server 2000 Enterprise edition which has transactional replications on it which replicates to other servers running on the SQL Server 2000 Enterprise edition as well.
Due to Hardware problems the server is being migrated to a new machine but the client has installed SQL Server 2000 standard edition on the new machine.
We will be using a two processor cpu with 4GB RAM and we are also not planning about clustering. Is there any problem if i migrate the server in Standard Edition will the replications work properly between Standard and Enterprise editions.
What other complications can be there if i switch over to standard edition from enterprise edition

I went to look at the connection string previously entered for a dataset created in a new report, and am not seeing anything intuitive for bringing up the associated datasource dialog box that was used to enter name, type and connection string. I'm also noticing nothing intuitive for deleting an existing dataset. How do you do these two very simple things in an existing project? I dont see the dataset in solution explorer, I see it only in the text box on the data tab and in a limited kind of way on the dataset view where the columns show and maint is allowed mostly on the columns only. I tried hilighting the dataset here and hitting the delete key to no avail.
I would like to restore database using RESTORE DATABASE ... REPLACE command. If database exists already and has any open connections this command will fail. I would like to close all existing connections to specific database before running RESTORE DATABASE ... REPLACE command. I can do closing from Management Studio using checkbox "Close Existing Connection" when deleting database. Actually I need to do the same but from script.

Hello!M a newbie.. I just want to know, that wots the difference b/w SQL Server Standard Edition and Express Edition.?And can I use Visual Studio 2005 (Professional Edition) with SQL Server Express Edition.?
Dear All,We have a database which contains many tables which have millions ofrecords. When We attach the database with MS SQL Server 2005 StandardEdition Server and run some queries (having joins, filters etc.) thenthey take very long time to execute while when We execute same querieson Enterprise Edition then they run 10 times faster than on standardedition.Our database does not use any features which are present in EnterpriseEdition and not present in Standard Edition. We want to know what arethe differences between Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition forperformance. Why should we go for Enterprise Edition when StandardEdition has all the features required.We are presently using evaluation versions of SQL Server 2005 Standardand Enterprise Editions.Thanks and regards,Nishant Sainihttp://www.simplyjava.com

I am attempting to upgrade a 2005 Standard Edtion to Enterprise Edition. This is a default instance. All components are upgraded successfully except the Database Engine. I receive the following error:
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following problem: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]The certificate cannot be dropped because one or more entities are either signed or encrypted using it.. To continue, correct the problem, and then run SQL Server Setup again.
This installation does not have encryption enabled, so I do not undersand the error or how to correct it.
After rebooting the SQL instance appears to be upgraded to Enterprise, but it cannot be upgraded to SP2.
Hi all--I'm researching the cleanest downgrade path from a trial edition of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise to a licensed Standard Edition copy. It looks like downgrading will entail uninstalling the old version and installing the new version, but I'd like to save the original setup as much as possible. Detaching the old databases will preserve the non-system databases; what method would work best for restoring the system databases?
The enterprise edition of SQL server includes some advanced BI features, for example the fuzzy lookup feature of IS. If the IS package lives on an enterprise edition of SQL server and the database the package it is targeting lives on a standard edition of SQL server can the advanced features be used? Can you run a fuzzy look against a database on a standard edition of SQL server when th IS package lives on an enterprise edition of SQL server? THANKS!
I have recently upgraded a SQL x64 server from Developer Edition to Standard Edition, This succeeded without issue. Following a reboot SQL Server yielded the following message

I have just migrated a complete SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 development server from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 Server. I just realized that I should not have used the Data center edition Product Key as this is Development server. I am being asked to downgrade to Developer edition. I have already migrated all the logins, databases(40 databases), cubes etc. I really can't uninstall and reinstall Developer edition. How else can I upgrade/downgrade to switch from Datacenter edition to Developer edition.
