How Can I Tell If SQL Server Was Installed Using An MSDN Copy?
May 19, 2008
Hi all,
An internal licensing review is being carried out at my site for the first time since I joined. I have been asked to confirm that development SQL Server instances have been installed from MSDN installation disks and production instances from non-MSDN disks. I understand that serverproperty('licensetype') will show me this information in SQL Server 2000, and I am (perhaps incorrectly?) assuming that a result of "DISABLED" means MSDN was used for the installation.
In SQL Server 2005, i believe the installation does not record the necessary information in the registry, meaning serverproperty('licensetype') is of no use.
Is the question i've been asked impossible to answer? Is there any way I can find out if MSDN disks (or network copies of them) were used to install a SQL Server 2005 instance?
Suddenly one day I found some corruptions have occurred in my SQL Server 2012 installation. Because my 'msdb' has been marked SUSPECT/CORRUPT; hence no new work can be done as per my schedules.
I have gone about trying to repair it. I followed this article here: [URL] [the region 'Create new MSDB Database'].
I am facing some sizeable difficulties in doing this on my own. Steps 1. & 2. I have done. I am now stuck at step no. 3.My instance name is SQLEXPRESS. So, when I give,
SQLCMD -E -S<SQLEXPRESS> -dmaster -Q"EXEC sp_detach_db msdb" [as per the article], what I get is:
The System cannot find the file specified.
So I am stuck at that point. What's with the 'cannot find file specified'? The stored procedure, or the mdf, ldf files for my msdb? What is it?Also, if and when I am through with step no. 3 I would like to know about steps 5. & 6. also which are soon to follow [like how to do them correctly, safely and from where, the different options]. This is a huge priority for me to get my sql server up and running again because I can't do my other coding works without it. Everything is stalled. Slowly reaching the desperation, SOS mode..
I want to find whether SQL Server 2005 x86 is installed or SQL Server 2005 x64 is installed programatically(Any API would do.) If anyone can recommend a registry key that I can rely on find whether it is a 32 bit or 64 bit SQL Server that would suffice.
We use MSDN SQL 2000 , the enterprise edition for our development servers, which have always had 2GB RAM. Now they are bringing in a Win 2003 Enterprise with > 12GB RAM . They want SQL SERVER 2000 to use AWE memory up to 12GB . Is there any limitation on MSDN Ent. Edition using more memory.?
I'm trying to use the MSDN subscriber downloads VPC image for SQL Server 2008 CTP4. There are 4 files listed as 1 of 4, 2 of 4, ... 4 of 4.
When executing the WinRAR self-extracting archive, it runs normally for a while and starts to create a .VHD file but just when it seems to be almost complete, it stops and asks for "c:mypathen_sql_server_2008_ctp_4_vhd_part_1_of_5_.rar".
Since the files were just posted back on 10/9, I thought I would wait and eventually, someone would notice the problem and post corrected files but now it's been over a week and I don't see new files or any mention of any problems.
Is anyone else able to successfully download and extract this image?
Hi Friends, I have a question. At my home computer i downloaded and installed VWD. As usual it also installed Sqlexpress as part of the installation(i checked the option). Later on i downloaded Management studio separately so i am fine with my home computer as every thing is free. But at work we decided to develop application using VS 2005 and Sqlserver 2005. So we bought and installed VS2005 professional edition at work and it also installed Sqlexpress during the installation as a defualt desktop engine. I am fine with that too. But i am not understing where do i get the Management studio? Is it some thing i could get it off the web for free or what? I am not sure we would have an option while installing the VS 2005 professional that also does install management studio and we need to check that option. I am not sure if we could get the management studion off the web for free and and evelop applications.
I have been trying to straighten out the select statement(underlined) in the procedure below but no luck. It is at the link below:(User-Specific Paging from ASP.NET)http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnpag/html/scalenethowto05.aspI think the "author" messed up during the copy and paste. Someone please help out. I really need its correct version. Thanks.blumonde // The BindData method constructs a SQL query that uses nested SELECT TOP // statements (as described earlier) to retrieve a specified page of data.//public void BindData(){ SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(_connStr); String strCmd = ""; StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); sb.Append("select top {0} CustomerID,CompanyName,ContactName,ContactTitle from (select top {1} CustomerID,CompanyName,ContactName,ContactTitle from Customers "); sb.Append("as t1 order by contactname desc) "); sb.Append("as t2 order by contactname asc"); strCmd = sb.ToString(); sb = null; // Set pseudoparameters: TableName, KeyField and RowIndex strCmd = String.Format(strCmd, _pageSize, _currentPageNumber * _pageSize); // Prepare the command SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand(strCmd,myConnection); SqlDataAdapter sa = new SqlDataAdapter(myCommand); DataSet searchData = new DataSet("SearchData"); try { myConnection.Open(); sa.Fill(searchData); MyDataGrid.DataSource = searchData; MyDataGrid.DataBind(); } finally { myConnection.Close(); } CurrentPage.Text = _currentPageNumber.ToString(); if ( !Page.IsPostBack ) { using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(_connStr)) { SqlCommand cmd = conn.CreateCommand(); cmd.CommandText = "SELECT Count(*) FROM Customers"; conn.Open(); _totalRecords = (int)cmd.ExecuteScalar(); _totalPages = _totalRecords / MyDataGrid.PageSize; TotalPages.Text = _totalPages.ToString(); } } else { _totalPages = int.Parse ( TotalPages.Text ); } if (_currentPageNumber == 1) { PreviousPage.Enabled = false; if (_totalPages > 1) NextPage.Enabled = true; else NextPage.Enabled = false; } else { PreviousPage.Enabled = true; if (_currentPageNumber == _totalPages) NextPage.Enabled = false; else NextPage.Enabled = true; }}
I have installed the MSDN SQL 7.0 final release on 2 Win NT (1 server and 1 Wkst)
When I launch DTS, I CAN export/import ACCESS <--> SQL and vice versa
I CANNOT export/import SQL7 <--> SQL7
I have this error messsage : "The licence for installation of Microsoft SQL Server on your source and destination connections does not permit the use of DTS to transform data. refer to your licence agreement for more information"
any ideas why ? Is there any limitation with MSDN CD ?
I recently got me a new laptop with Vista preinstalled. All good and well, but when I try to install a program vital for my profession, I get an error (OS not supported for this program). In the install I can configure what components to install, one of them is MSDN 2000. My question is, will SQL Server Express take over what MSDN can't on Vista (and thus running the program needing the MSDN 2000), or will windows XP be the new OS on my brand new laptop in the future. Love Vista, hate the compatibility.
Where is the list for forums, When i started to write for Sqlserver, i never searched or looked for forum. Same did when i was working with the c#. Now I have to find the correct forum. So where is the list of those forums, thanks.
the msdn article explains how to input new data to a databse and return the primary key of the inputted row. It works perfectly. However, it explains how to insert a value, but there is a problem. It seems to set the value to be submitted in the VB code, instead of having the value be the user's input in the textbox. Look for the following line in the code below: newRow("ClientFileNumber") = "ClientFileNumber" It inputs "clientfilenumber" instead of what is actually inputted in the texbox. Does anyone know how to bypass this, to not have the words "clientfilenumber" inputted?Dim sqlconn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Client.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True") Dim catDA As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM Orders", sqlconn) catDA.InsertCommand = New SqlCommand("JobInsert", sqlconn) catDA.InsertCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure catDA.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add("@ClientFileNumber", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50, "ClientFileNumber")Dim NewJobNumber As SqlParameter = catDA.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add("@Identity", SqlDbType.Int, 0, "OrdersID") NewJobNumber.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
sqlconn.Open() Dim catDS As DataSet = New DataSetcatDA.Fill(catDS, "Orders")
Dim newRow As DataRow = catDS.Tables("Orders").NewRow() newRow("ClientFileNumber") = ""catDS.Tables("Orders").Rows.Add(newRow) catDA.Update(catDS, "Orders")

Getting the error message System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: SELECT permission denied on object 'mytable', database 'master', owner 'dbo'. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteReader...
1. After a lot of googling I've done the following: EXEC sp_grantlogin 'MYMACHINEASPNET' to grant the ASPNET logon access to the DB
2. Changed the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMSSQLServerMSSQLServerLoginMode to 2 to allow mixed mode.
3. using my connection string in web.config - have experimented with different strings with/without trusted_connection and the sa uname and pwd. (Current connection string is "server=localhost;Integrated Security=SSPI;Database=master;Data Source=MYCOMPUTERNAME;trusted_Connection=yes"
I'm NOT using SQL Server so what commands do i need to give my db/table SELECT permissions? (and who am I giving permission to - very confused)
I had no bother accessing the server and DB from a simple C# command line program.
Been pulling my hair out for many hours now... any help would be greatly appreciated!
(Not having a great day - didn't mean to lock that last post - apologies)
First off - complete newbie using MSDN.

I don't know why I can not see 'sign in' button on msdn forums now at my company's computer. I can see that button several days ago, but now I can not see it. Why? I only can see post but can not create a new one or reply.

Please forgive me if this sounds so silly, but I am a complete newbie on SQL SERVER (the only think I ve worked on so far is Access) and I need help.
I ve just installed the SQL Server 2005 and the things I have are about configuation, such as: -sql server configuration manager -sql server error and usage reporting -sql server surface area configuration -notification services command prompt -reporting services configuration
Is that all? Did I miss anything? How am I supposed to create databases? How can I connect remotely to another server (database)?
I know I may sound stupid but Im on the beginning and I would so much appreciate any kind of help.
