I would like to know if it's possible to embed a SQL Server 2000/2005 DB
within a desktop application so that the end users cannot view the DB.
Also, this will prevent them from copying the database on to their other
SQL Servers.
Also, what are the options to load SQL Server 2005 on Win 98

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 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?
I need to set up 1 new user in SQL Server 2005 to be able to read specific tables in a db (db1).
The user will connect from MS access using odbc links (SQL Native client ot SQL Server driver)
I've tried to set up one and once logged on from the user workstation, I can only see sys. tables and INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables. None of the required db1 tables appear.
under Security/Logins I've created User1: SQL Server auth. with password default db = db1 server_roles = none user mapping = map, db1, user1,dbo securables = none status = grant, enabled
on the access db, the odbc link was set up with default db = db1
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 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 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.
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.
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

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.
During customer engagement, I was told that there are Microsoft add-on to be installed on SQL 2005 and the SQL 2005 can be simulated as SQL 2000, SQL 2000 SP4, SQL 7.0 in different SQL instances.
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?
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?

Can't quicklytell which log file is about the core engine installation failure fromthe installation log files.What's my "optimal" course of action?Thanks.P.S. to Erland, sorry for not having responded to your previous help/answer
I have a PC running the 64 bit version of vista home premium (will be soon upgrading to ultimate).
On the download page http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-au/express/bb410792.aspx for SQL Server Express under the section entitled SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2 it mentions at the bottom of the page (referred by * & **) that there is a 64 bit install version available for both SQL Server & management Studio.
However, under the section entitled SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP2, there is no * or **. As far as I can tell, the Advanced services has Reporting Services as well.
So, what I am wondering is, can I specifically download the 64 bit versions of SQL server express & management studio and as well, download just the reporting services part of Advanced Services?
Just installed SQL Server 2005 Eval version and Management Studio does not display any Import/Export functions to load data into tables of an existing database. I thought that this feature was turned off only in Management Studio Express.
