Database Mirroring Between 2005 Editions
Feb 1, 2007Can I use Database mirroring between 2005 Std and 2005 Ent editions?

View 2 RepliesHi All,
We are going to use database mirroring and database snapshots for reporting. The principal server runs SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and mirror (reporting) runs SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition (64-bit). I failed to setup database mirroring trough GUI using SQL Server Management Studio and got this error:
This mirroring configuration is not supported. Because the principal server instance, <server_name>, is Standard Edition, the mirror server instance must also be Standard Edition.
But when I use T-SQL commands I was able to setup database mirroring and it works OK so far.
SQL BOL says that one of requirements for database mirroring is to use the same SQL Server editions but I am wondering if it works trough T-SQL why MS mention it in the requirements list, also is totally unsupported by MS?
Thanks

I am attempting to insert information from Visual Web Developer 2005 using either the Gridview or Datalist controls into a SQL Server 2005 database and get stuck when defining the custom statement.When I enter the text within the insert tab, the <next> button remains greyed out, preventing me from continuing to the next page.If I copy the same text into the select tab, then I can continue with the wizard, however this raises other problems which may or may not be related (multiple insertions of the data into the SQL Server database table - possibly due to postback functions). I would rather use insert to confirm that my second problem is not because I am using the wrong option.My question is:Should I be able to use the insert function within VWD express or is this only available within the standard/pro editions?

We've DEV, Test and Prod machines.
Is it required to have all the three machines with Enterprise Editions?
OR
Can we install SQL Developer Edition on both DEV and TEST and have Enterprise Edition on production?
Please advise.
TIA,
Siva.
1. The Workgroup Edition comes with Windows SBS Server/Premium. However the docs for SQL/Server 2005 say not to install it on a Domain Controller. What does this mean--buy a separate box for the SQL Server software? If so with which OS?
2. If we get Windows SBS Standard, could we just install/download SQL Express on that Server? Even if it's a Domain Controller?
2. If a client is running an app on SQL Server 7, and wants to upgrade to 2005 (3-5 simultaneous uses of a DB about 1GB), which edition should we get?
thank you in advance ...
Hi
I have the SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition CD and have succesfully installed this on my desktop.
When I install this on my Laptop the version is 2000(print @@version) is only Desktop version (2gb db limit!)....
Any ideas on why the full enterprise edition is not installing on the laptop?!!
Version on my Desktop:
MICROSOFT SQL SERVER 2005-9.00.1399.06 (INTEL X86)
OCT 14 2005 00.33.37

The Laptop spec is:
Intel 1.66Ghz, 1 Gb Ram, 50 Gb HDD, Windows XP SP2
The Desktop spec is:
Intel 2.8 Ghz Dual Core, 2 Gb Ram, 320 Gb HDD, Windows XP SP2
Both SQL Server 2005 versions are installed from the same CD so why would there be a difference?
I understand that you cannot have Enterprise edition on XP but it has installed on the desktop, not the laptop???
Thanks in advance!
I've developed and tested an application that utilizes the standard (.SQLEXPRESS, not user instance) instance of SQL Server 2005 Express. I'd like to be able to say that my solution will operate on any of the 32-bit SQL Server editions (Express, Workgroup, Standard, Developer, Enterprise).
I've found anecdotal comments from people saying that SQL Express is a subset of the other versions. However, in order to truly validate my "any edition" claim, I need to either:
a) Install and test my solution with all editions of SQL Server, or
b) Provide a justification for saying: "If it works on SQL Express, it'll work with the other editions".
Does anyone know if there is some official documentation somewhere that affirms the functional equivalence of the editions?
Is there documentation that states that each SQL Server edition is compiled from the same codebase?
Thanks for any help

Dear All
I would like to install and run visual studio .Net 2005 and sql server 2005 (may be enterprise or developer edition)on the same system.
What is the best approach that I should take ? should I install sql server 2005 first ?
Since visual studio .Net 2005 installs mobile edition and express edition will this cause a problem ?
Could multiple sql server editions run on the same machine with no problems ?
Thank you,
Daniel
I'm devlving into 2005 and specifically mirroring.Having read the following article (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pr...5/dbmirror.mspx ),is mirroring a sensible option as it indicates that it should not beused in a production environment, yet the SQL2005 seminars I've been toindicate that this is a worthy option.Do we also need a witness server, or can this be done (sensibly) withtwo SQL2005 servers ?Currently we have 2xSQL2000 (clustered) servers and a SAN for the data.If we go down the route of mirroring, it looks like we can get rid ofthe SAN and Cluster and use the mirroring instead.Any advice on the pro's / cons would be appreciated.ThanksRyan

Hi, for SQL 2005 - to set up database mirroring, is it required to have Active Directory installed or to be part of a domain? I am looking to use a workgroup with the SQL machines only and to not reference any domain and cannot find this information - is this possible?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHello, My question is simply: according to BOL, a DB snapshot taken from a Mirror is read-only. Say I wanted a temporary (disposable) read-write DB created from the snapshot. Is there a way to generate a writable temp DB (that's not tempdb) from the snapshot? Thanks,AK

I get a general question about the feacture "Database Mirroring". Is it support by SQL Server Standard. Edition without SP1?? Of i still need to upgrade the server from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2005 with SP1?
Another question: are there any problem if the one machine(server) has installed SQL server 2005 Standard edition and the other with "Developer Editon".
I hope some one can answer my question. Thanks anyway!

Does the x64 version of SQL Server 2005 June CTP contain 64-bit versions of the SQL Server ODBC Driver and the OLE DB Provider? I am not interested in the .NET Managed Provider here, just the legacy ODBC and OLE DB drivers, and only 64-bit versions of those.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy understanding is that at installation of all but the Express edition, there is no choice but to have VS2005 installed as well. If this is true, can VS 2005 at least be uninstalled after a different debugger is enlisted?

Hi all,
i have a small problem to connect SQL Native ODBC Client to a mirrored Database.
The connection goes without any problem when I connect to a primary Database, but when i give this connect string to an
ODBC Client ""Server=Partner_A; Failover Partner=Partner_B; Database=XXX; Network=dbmssocn"", then i get an connect fail.
There are no firewalls and other things on the network.
I am also able to connect to a mirror database during failover, but I'm not able to set both servers on the ODBC Connection.
Kind Regards,
Gruna
There are numerous posts regarding this error when installing SQL Server 2005 on Windows Vista RTM thus I am starting a new thread in order to get resolution one way or another:SQL Server Setup failed to execute a command for server configuration. The error was [SQL Native Client]Windows user or group "USERNAMESQLServer2005MSFTEUser$USERNAME$MSSQLSERVER" not found. Check the name again...
The error occurs when installing SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition, SQL Server Express SP1, SQL Server Express SP2 CTR (with or without the SP2 Toolkit package installed beforehand). The error occurs with or without UAC.
The installation then fails. Please advise if you have any insights. SQL Server Express SP2 CTR was announced as a workable version for Vista... note that this is not the case.
I am trying to enable database mirroring for 100 database.
It goes error free till 59 databases (some times 60 databases) with the

it gave the status (principal, disconnected). Also mirror starts acting
abnormal. connection to mirror starts to give connection timeout and it is
not enabling database mirroring on any more databases. I have SQL SERVER
2005 Enterprise with SP1 on the servers. witness is not included yet.
this are my test servers... i have more than 500 databases on my production
servers.
principal and mirror both are using port 5022 for ENDPOINT communication.
Dear All,
I have a download "SQL Server 2005 Evalution Copy". I installed it to 3 machine, 1 - XP Professional (Witness) and 2 - Windows Server 2000 (Principle and Mirror) . And I want to try Database mirroring.
However, after restore the Log into mirror server I try to execute the following statement in Principle Server:
ALTER DATABASE TestDB
SET PARTNER=N'TCP://[10.0.200.2]:5022'
GO
The above 10.0.200.2 is the mirror server IP address.
it show error message as:
Msg 1416, Level 16, State 31, Line 1
Database "SCMPGroup" is not configured for database mirroring.
In Miorror Server
I execute the statement :
ALTER DATABASE TestDB
SET PARTNER=N'TCP://[10.0.200.1]:5022'
The above 10.0.200.1 is the principle server IP address.
It shows sucess
ALTER DATABASE TestDB
SET WITNESS=N'TCP://[10.0.15.146]:5022'
it show error message as:
Msg 1416, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Database "SCMPGroup" is not configured for database mirroring.
Please help me! I down't know if NT4 domain or evalution copy problem in there.

these are my test servers... i have more than 500 databases on my production

principal and mirror both are using port 5022 for ENDPOINT communication.
All of the databases are critical and all must be included in the Database Mirroring.
so, after that I tried to implement database mirroring again......
System has 3 GB of RAM, SQL SERVER (Mirror) using 85 MB of RAM but still
giving this error while trying to enable database mirroring for 37th
Database.....
"There is insufficient system Memory to run this query"
WHY?
Server A = primary SQL DBs (mirroring origination)
Server B = failover SQL DBs (mirroring destination)
For database mirroring a witness is required.
Can the witness live in another instance of SQL on server B?
Can someone at Microsoft comment on this article, specifically, how it relates to SQL Replication? Will SQL Replication fall into the category of what this article describes, or only the mirroring feature?
View 1 Replies View RelatedUsing SQL Server 2008, we would like propose mirroring between two servers of a critical database.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have just finished configuring my first test mirrored environment (High safety mode). I setup the database engine service accounts on each of the servers with domainuser. I inherited a production mirrored environment set up by someone else. On the production servers the database engine service account is NT Authorityuser a local account. I am trying to practice installing Windows updates within a mirrored environment and I not sure how to proceed when the service account is NT Authority user account. should I change the service account to a domainuser?

Hi everyone,
I have a project on my hand in which i need to implement two SQL 2005 servers
And configure it as DB mirroring.
I know that for the sake of 'fail over' I need to configure a witness
server as well.
My question is:
For the purpose of the mirror server and the principle server - what
are the software requirements (enterprise, standard?)
For the purpose of the witness server - what are the software
requirements (enterprise, standard, express?)
Should the witness server be a 'server' in terms of hardware...or is
it enough to establish a strong pc machine?
I set up a new mirror server. Everything is good except that the Database Mirroring Monitor is not working for one of the databases. In the monitor the principal data is showing up as blank
If I look at dbm_monitor_data on the principal most of the data columns (e.g. Send_queue_size) are null where as they have data for the other databases.
Both servers are SQL Server 9.0.2047 Enterprise Edition.
Any idea what might be going on here?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I need to know what is the exact difference between
different Editions of SQL 7. Cost of SQL 7 Enterprise Edition is 5 times
that of Developer's Edition of SQL 7. Also there is other edition called
Standard Edition. At least i would like to know where can i get this information
immidiately.
ThanX,
