Converting Database From 32-bit SQL Server 2005 To 64-bit Version Of SQL Server 2005
Apr 25, 2007
I recently upgraded to SQL Server 2005. My databases are stable and functioning perfectly. However, these databases are using the 32-bit version of SQL Server. The servers are going to be upgraded to 64-bit processors and new Server 2003 64-bit OS's.
Everything I have been able to find says that it is a simple process of backing up the databases in the 32-bit environment and restoring them in the 64-bit environment.
Could it really be that easy? I am looking for someone who has done this to provide any "heads up" commentary on what to look out for during that process. Can anyone provide some information on this process?
I installed Visual Studio 2005 Professional then after that was installed and running, I tried to install the the SQL Server 2005 Developer's Edition which installed but I do not get the SQL Server 2005 Studio Manager. I have remove and reinstalled but it never gets installed. Any ideas?
Is there any way to get the version of a database without attaching it to the server. Or can I attach a database without converting from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005.
The reason is that I have to ask the user before a convert the database from SQL Server 2000 to 2005.
When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.
How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?
Currently, if I run this query:
SELECT @@version
I get the following:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.
Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:
I am experiencing a problem that, after i have made a backup database file in SQL Server version (9.00.1090), when i restore the database in a newer SQL Server 2005 version(9.00.1399), an error occurs.
The error is:
Restore failed for Server 'demo'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Additional information: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The database was backed up on a server running version 9.00.1090. That version is incompatible with this server, which is running version 9.00.1399. Either restore the database on a server that supports the backup, or use a backup that is compatible with this server. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Anyone can tell me how i could fix this? Why would it happen?

Since some analysis services features are only available in Enterprise version , I have to upgrade my SQL 2005 server from standard edition to enterpise edition.
So I uninstall originial standard version of analysis service and install a Enterprise version. However, the analysis service is still a standard version after installation.
Is it possible to keep data engine as standard version and install a enterprise version of analysis service?
We have a 64bit os machine that we accidently loaded the 32 bit version of sql server on. We now want to upgrade it to 64 bit sql server, but we now have a production database on it. My understanding is that all I have to do is detach the production database, upgrade to 64bit sql server, then reattach the database. Is this really all I have to do?
I have an ssis package that downloads a SQL Server 2000 database and restores it to a SQL 2005 server. Ninety-five percent of the time it runs just fine, but every so often the job fails and I get the following set of error messages in the log file. (I have had to delete some of the proprietary information for this message to satisfy my boss like putting in [Database name] in place of the actual name of the database in the error message).

at the moment I have the following problem: We have installed a version of the MSDE 2000 Sp3 with our software since 2005. Now we install SQL Server Express 2005 in order to use the latest version and to be compatible with Vista. We have never had any problems with the MSDE, so it was no problem that we installed the german version (by mistake) because there never was any output at installation time. When we now upgrade the existing MSDE installing the new version of our software, there are often problems and there are error messages, unfortunately in german, which cannot be read by most of our international users.
The problem is, that there seems to be no possibility to upgrade the existing (german) MSDE with the english version of SQL Server Express 2005. My question is, if it is possible to upgrade the german MSDE to the english SQL Server 2005 to enable our international users to read the error messages at installation time in english?
Hello, im shure this must have been up before and i apologize for that. But i wonder if there is a way to convert the SQL server express databases to MSSQL 2005 databses?
We have been using Sql Server 2005 Compact Edition 3.1 RDA synchronization method successfully on Sql Server 2000 database. Recently we moved the database to Sql Server 2005, sync doesn't work anymore, it just hangs on one table. On further investigation, we found out that it's the index on that table that causes this. We removed the index, it works fine. We are wondering the root cause, removing the index is not a solution for us. Any thoughts?. Thanks.
I m using Windows 2003 Server. I installed SQL Server2005 and now i want to apply CTP service pack on it. I downloaded all the SP2 patches available on the site http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=D2DA6579-D49C-4B25-8F8A-79D14145500D&displaylang=en . Each of them is giving an error and it is not getting installed on SQLServer 2005; Is it a problem with my hardware? or the version of Windows? or the version of SQLServer 2005?

I have Windows Vista Ultimate 64 installed on my computer, along with IIS 7 and the required IIS 6 components for SQL Server 2005. I also have Visual Studio 2005 Pro installed, but I have uninstalled SQL Server 2005 Express.
When I try to install SQL Server 2005 Pro, with all features, the 32 bit version always wants to install. I can't find a way to get the x64 version of SQL Server to install.

I have been running SQL Server 2005 Express with the Management Studio Express. I just downloaded and installed the Eval (Trial) version of SQL Server 2005 but have not been able to get it working. Here are a couple of questions:1. Is there a potential confict with having both versions on my machine. I don't want to uninstall express since I may have to do back to it in 180 days.2. Is there a program comparable to the Management Studio for the Eval version of SQL Server 2005?3. How do I access the Eval version? I found the folder where it installed on my C drive but don't know what to do with it.Thanks for any help you can provide.
We have our SQL databases clustered using MSCS on X64 servers and are planning to apply SP2. During initial tests, we find that around 20-25% queries perform slow after applying SP2 compared to SP1. Just wanted to know if anyone else has found the same behavior and if there are any known patterns / issues with respect to performance for Sp2

When I ran @@version I get this: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.2047.00 (Intel X86) Apr 14 2006 01:12:25 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 1)
I assume this is a licensed version because the std edition does not have a trial license? Can someone confirm this?
If this were a trial version, what could I expect to see?

I have SQL Server 2005 enterprise version, which I managed to install on my desktop which has xp home version operating system.
Now when I installed SQL Server 2005 enterprise on either my two laptops one has a XP-Pro and the other windows server 2003 operating systems.
The problem is that when I tried logging on sql server 2005 on either laptops, it prompts me to enter a server name and when I type in the name I believe is the server name it rejects it
During installation on the two laptops I remember seeing a warning on 1 out of 24 components/setups that sql server2005 installs. The warning was something to do with Server client. This warning never came up when I installed the same version on my desktop. Please help €“ I am tearing head over this as I have spent the last two nights trying to get it to work on both laptops.
I want to learn if it is possible to develop applications for SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition using .NET Compact version 1.0. The major doubt is the possibility for version 1.0. It is reasonable to deliver SQL Compact Edition redistributables with an application, but this is not great to require ,NET 2.0.
