I have SQL Serrver 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services running on a machine with Vista Home Premium o/s.
I am trying to build the Personal Web Site Starter Kit using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition but keep running into problems when trying to establish user instance. The error "Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The conmnection will be closed" keeps coming up.
The following services are running:
SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)
SQL Server Browser
SQL Server Full Text Search
SQL Server VSS Writer
I note from the documentation that a new instance should be created in the directory :
C:Documents and Settings<User>Local SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server DataSQLEXPRESS.
Unfortunately that directory does not exist on my Vista machine. Is this a fault?
I have a new named instance (SQL Server 2005 x64 SP2 (Build 3159) Developer edition) setup with dynamic port selection. A default instance was also running on the server prior to the named instance setup.
SQL Server Browser service is running. Remote connections are configured on the named instance. But still remote clients can only connect when the port number is specified after the instance name (servernameinstancename,9999). Without the port number, "error 26 - Error locating Server/instance specified" is thrown.
Doesn't the SQL Server Browser service eliminate the need for clients to specify the port number? What am I missing?
I'm trying to register a developer's 2000 pc from my 2005 pc.
i'm not sure this is even something possible from Dev Edition to Dev Edition- I can register a 2000 server just fine.
I can ping him. Both our systems have remote access 'on'. His server is (local), i've tried connecting to it by just entering his machine name and by using just the ip address. The error I get is "timeout expired. The timeout elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding."
Am I just not registering this properly? I entered just the ip address in the 'server' box. I am connecting as sa with the pw he gave me. When i connect to my server, I use the ip addressinstance. However, I am not sure what to use for the instance when all I see when I look at his machine is (local).
Is it possible to connect SSRS running on SQL Server 2005 enterprise edition (our production system) to a database running on SQL Server 2005 Developer's edition (our test system)
Hi I am interested in taking MCTS exam 70-431 for sql server 2005 implementation and maintainance. I have been reading the hardware requirements for the instalation of sql server versions and realise that enterprise and developer editions have same minimum requirements for the operation system. I understand that the Developer Edition includes all the functionality of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition, but it is licensed for use as a development and test system, not as a production server.
Also I undestand that the developer edition supports the Windows XP Home Edition with SP2 or later but the enterprise edition does not support this operating system. The evaluation/trial version is for the enterprise edition. Can I use the developer version of sql server 2005 for my practice exercises instead of using the trial version? I have all hardware requirements for the trial enterprise version except that I am using Microsoft windows Xp home edition version 2002 with SP2. I am trying to see if I can use the developer version of sql server 2005 as it is cheaper for me to buy this software than buying the new operating system for my computer. According to the microsoft book for the MCTS exam 70-431 there is a section which states that before you begin you should have Microsoft Windows Server 2003 running on your computer on an NTFS file system (NTFS) partition. Will I still be ok to use the book and be able to do all the tests in the book if i am using the developer version of sql server 2005 with my Microsoft windows Xp home edition than using the trial version which comes with the book?
As an ISV, I want to certify my product on Standard Edition. I am using Developer Edition everywhere. Is there a way I can do the certification using the Developer Edition, or do I need to obtain/purchase a copy of the Standard Edition?
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.
I tried to download PerformancePoint Server Trial Version to ther server today and I got to the configuration point of the Analysis Services Setting, and when I clicked next to proceed with the configuration I got a popup error message: "Microsoft Analysis Server must be Evaluation, Developer or Enterprise Edition".
Now I have SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition Disc (Bought it with Visual Studio 2005) but on the server I have SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition, if I try to run the sql server developer Edition disc, I use the wizard download and it seems that the download is going through the SQL Server entire download, it's like I'm re-downloading SQL Server all over again.
Does that seem right? what is the best approach to work around this probelm?
because we installed the SQL Server 2005-64Bit Developer Edition on a 2003 Server R2-64Bit with 10GB RAM an 2 Xeon. Now we have huge performance problems wich should be better using the Stadard Edition...
I don't know if it is easily possible to upgrade by only inserting the DVD and start the Setup...
The box I am trying to connect to is running two instances of SQL Server. There is a SQL Server 2005 instance which is the default. There is a SQL Server 2000 instance which is named 'SQLSERVER'. I can connect to the SQL Server 2000 instance no problem:<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPCSQLSERVER;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> However, I am having trouble connecting to the Default SQL Server 2005 instance. I have tried: <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> but it doesn't work. I have tried explicitly setting SQL Server 2005 to use port 1434 (as SQL Server 2000 is running on port 1433), and then used: <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC,1434;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> but this doesn't work either.
Am I mssing something here? Any help much appreciated Thanks...
Hi, I am struggling connection to a named instance of SQL 2000 (SP4) from another machine but without any success. I get an error message saying that the server does not exist or access is denied.
The security configuration in this named instance is the same as the default instance (also 2000) and the remote machine can connect to it successfully.
I also configured the aliases in Client Network Utility in the client machine and set the server (machine) name and the port number used by the instance - but no help.
I use osql and Query Analyzer to connect to it, but I cannot connect by any of them.
Connecting locally, in the machine where the instance is installed, is successful.
The same behaviour appears when I try to connect to another instance on the machine which is 2005. Something with the named instance is problematic.
I develop for a number of clients, and rely on DTS in SQL Server 2000 to transport schemas and data to remote client databases.
I've been using the Express edition of the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio to access these databases lately, but it does not have the DTS feature, which is horribly inconvenient when I need to add tables, etc to remote databases.
If I purchase the Developer Edition of SQL Server 2005, and install the Management Studio on my workstation (my development db is on another machine), will it give me full DTS support for remote databases, or is DTS limited to one db only?
I've searched MS and this obscure info doesn't seem to be there anywhere. Does anyone know this?
is it possible to install ms sql 2005 developer edition databse serveron window XP professional version 2002 with SP2 or just allows installclient version?
If i initially installed SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition using the "default instance", how do i create an additional (new) SQL Server 2005 (90) "named instance" without reinstalling SQL Server 2005?
Several applications in out environment use Microsoft access to access the SQL server databases. Our new SQL Server 2005 instance is a named instance. We would like to create a .reg file to update the individual workstations as part of the migration. For some reason the .reg file with a named instance does not work. If the entry is created through the GUI it works. The server drop down does not show the named instance, only the server name but if you type the servernameamed_instance it finds it ok. Here is an example of what works and what does not. Any ideas on what the problem might be?
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 - Does NOT work
I got the following error using either NT or SQL Login ('sa') that are sysadmin in my SQL 2005 instance:
Your Account information could not be verified for one or more instances. Ensure that you can connect to all the selected instances using the account information provided. To process further deselect the instances to which connectivity cannot be established.
However, I would login to SQL 2005 named instance, either NT or SQL login 'sa' without any problems to do anything I want because both are sysadmin.
<PS> Note that my default SQL instance in my local server is SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 named instance.
I€™m creating a new named instance in SQL2005 , by default the instance created with €œLatin1_General_CI_AS€? collation.
I want to change this collation to €œSQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS€?, but sincerely I don€™t have a clue how to select it on the collation setting window :
I am currently downloading the mega-sized files for SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and was wondering if I was going to be able to install it onto my workstation alongside the SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition? Was hoping someone could advise. I did browse for an answer, but have not come across it yet. I know I'll find out once my download is complete, but that could be awhile :)
Everytime I open SQL Server Studio Management I recieve the below error. I've un-installed and reinstalled but it continues to come back. I cna continue on and it'll work kind of, but after a while it'll jsut crash on me normally when I'm trying to save a script or create a new DB. Sql Server 2000 is installed on the same machine so I'm wondering if I can have them both installed like this. Has any one seen this one?Bruce See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text

Ive installed SQL server 2005 developer edition onto my pc but when I use management studio, the only server I get is SQLEXPRESS. I did install the express version just to check it out, whats happend to the developer edition ? Is this named SQLEXPRESS as well ? and has overwritten the express version ? Has anyone else experienced this ?
I am in the early stages of migrating an extensive Access 2003 application to C#/SQL Server. The client already has SQL Server 2005, whereas I am using SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition. It has worked fine for me, but I'd like to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition and have a couple of questions.
In Access 2000 I am always using Query Analyzer and Enterprise Manager. Are these features available in 2005 Develper Edition?
Can more than one user connect to SQL Server at a time? That is, for testing concurrency, etc, can two people connect at the same time?
Is these any restriction on connecting to SQL Srever from another computer or workstation? Again for testing, one or two other workstations would be fine.
Finally, what is the street price? I've seen this advertised for $ 47 where I would have expected far more than that.
Hi, I'm not sure if this is where I should post this, but I'm trying to find out what the limitations of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (DE) are. I've gone through the Microsoft SQL Server site and they have very little information about the developer edition.Is there a connection limit for DE like 2000 did?
Will SQL Server 2005 developer edition and Visual Web Developer Express work on the same machine? One reviewer of SQL Server 2005 developer edition on amazon.com stated won't work on the same machine? Is this true?
Hi Everyone, Recently I installed Visual Studio 2005 which also installed SQL Express Edition with it. I then installed SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition and am now able to see two instances SQLEXPRESS and MSSQLERVER. I do not want to use the Express version anymore, Do I have to have the Express version running or can I have just the Developer Edition ? Please help, can't find any help on the SQL website! Thanks
i am trying to find it, the only thing the MS site shows is enterprise licensing. is the developer edition still going to be like $100 or whatever it was?
I am unable to successfully install SQL Server 2005 Developer edition here on a machine at work. Database service and client tools fails to install. I get the message that:"The computer running SQL Server setup does not meet the minimum system requirements for this SQL server release. Microsoft SQL Server is not supported by this operating system."
I am running Win XP pro sp2 with all the latest updates installed. What could be causing this and how do I fix it?
Hi I currently have this edition of SQL server on my laptop:
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2039 (Intel X86) May 3 2005 23:18:38 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Desktop Engine on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
It is running on SQL Server Management Studio 2005.
I wish to upgrdade to Developer Edition (as my laptop won't support Enterprise as it's running on Windows XP).
I have some questions, which I would be grateful if somebody could help answering:
1- will all my database remain as they are? 2- Will I loose any functionality? 3- Will it upgrade or intstall a separate edition? 4- Can anybody recommend where to purchase Developer 2005 edition? 5- I currently have 2gb capped database limit on my version, will I get a no capped limit? 6- Will the 2gb Capped limit increase to uncapped once I install (i.e. can i use my previous 2gb database and add more data to above 2 gb)
The main issues are that I need an uncapped limit for my DB's and that I will keep my existing db's.
I am wanting to setup both SQL Express and SQL 2005 developer edition with visual studio 2005 professional on the same machine and want to make SQL dev edition the default local accont to where I can set the sql connection to server=localhost. Is there a way to do this?
