Hi
-I have istalled sql server 2005 standard edition , I want to install sql server 2005 enterprise edition on the same machine.
Is it possible? I have Microsoft windows server 2003 SP2 and 1GB RAM.
I want to use partition function with the enterprise edition, will the trial version of sql server work for me?
-If I have already created a database and tables using the standard edition, will I be able to access and use the database using the installed trial version or will I have to start a fresh creating a new database?
- Is it possible to access the same database with any of the installed versions?
BTW, I am prety new to sql server and databases , I am trying to learn by myself
Thanks
Hi All,
I have enterprise version software CD1 and CD2 of SQL server 2005

The image file Setup.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine
MY OS version is windows 2003 32bit Operating system...
I am suspecting the binarie may be of 64bit.. How do we check the binaries are 32 bit and 64 bit software

Hi,
At present there is no windows server machine in the company.
I would like to install sql server 2005 standard edition on a windows xp pro machine.
1)
Can this sql server 2005 standard edition on xp pro be our main central sql server 2005 which holds all databases and instances in the company where other machines can connect to?
2)
The idea is that in the future when the windows server machine has arrived, I will then install sql server 2005 edition on that windows server machine and move the existing databases from the the current central xp pro machine to it.
3)
IS it best to instal standard edition on windows server only?
Thanks
Hi All,
I have an SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition installed. My machine has a Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit and Visual Studio 2008.
My application is already working with Sql Server Standard Edition but I need to test it with SQL Express 2005.
If I install SQL Server Express 2005 in the same machine will it cause any damage to my Standard Edition already installed ????
That is can I install both SQL Server Express 2005 and Standard in the same machine ????
How can I address the different instances of SQL Server ????
Thanks in advance
Does anyone know if it is possible to go from the Enterprise edition of SQL, back to Standard?
In other words, Enterprise Edition is installed, but what we really want is Standard. Is there any way around this, other than uninstalling and reinstalling SQL?
I assume not, but thought I would check...
dear all,
if one has purchased enterprise edition of sql server, could he install the standard version instead of the enterprise one without violating software license?
regards
How are you, I was wondering if I could uninstall and reintall sql server standard and upgrade to enterprise edition.
What i mean..
We have 10 computers running sql server standard. We want to upgrade them to enterprise edition bc there are another 10 machines with enterprise.
Would we have to uninstall standard edition before installing enterprise.
Or could we just install enterprise edition over standard
Has anyone done this? Compatibilty issue?? We are doing it remotly as well, some machines in NC, some in Vegas, some in Cali. So all will be done through RDC.
any and all help will be great
Thanks
Hi, i have sql server 2005 standard installed on my machine. I want to work on express edition and learn about it but on the installation its gets stuck because a higher version is installed. If the express version is free why cant have both versions installed on my machine. Thank you.

Is it possible to "convert" from SQL 7.0 Standard Edition to SQL 7.0 Enterprise Edition?
Thanks.
What's the best/easiest method to upgrade from Standard Edition to Enterprise Edition and still keep the databases in tact?
My thoughts were to:
1)Backup databases
2)Detach User Databases
3)Uninstall Standard
4)Install Enterprise
5)Restore Master and msdb
6)Reattach the User Databases

How to know if it is standard or enterprise edition that a remote sql server is?
View 7 Replies View RelatedRecently, I worked on installing SQL Server 2000 into a clustered environement. I installed the Standard edition, tested it, and everything works fine. However, in reading some information on Enterprise Edition from Microsoft, I see where it says to install Enterprise Edition when using a clustered, or failover, environement. Can anyone give me a layman's explanation as to why this is? Everything is functioning just fine with the Standard Edition installed.
I really don't want to re-install if I don't have to.
Thanks in advance.

Does any one know if the Standard or Enterprise version of SQL Server 2K allows Maintenance Procedures like "DBCC CHECKDB REPAIR_REBUILD" to execute with users logged in, without the requirment of single user mode on the Database?
Any help would appreciated.
In setting up replication between databases do both sql installations have to be enterprise or can it be done with both sql server standard edition.
thanks,
I'm setting up a new system and want to do a cluster. We have Win2k3 Enterprise already. My question is do you have to have enterprise edition of SQL2K to do clustering w/ win2k3?

I have a question.
I want to migrate from mySql to Sql Server, and I should decide which version will I use.
The problem is that I need partitioning, and it is included only in the Enterprise version. But the Enterprise version costs 5 times more than the standard and the workgroup version.
Is it worth to spend so much money only for the partitioning?
Also, maybe I am wrong, and the partitioning is also included in the Standard version?
Thanks,
Edi.

We've got a SQL 2000 Server running the Enterprise 120-day trial.Normally you can retain the information by upgrading it to the full-blown version of Enterprise edition. However, we have decided to gowith the Standard version instead. Will I need to BACKUP the data anddo a complete install then RESTORE or can I "upgrade" it to Standard?Has anybody actually done this?

I am running SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition on a 2 node cluster. Can I install SQL 2005 Standard edition on the same cluster?
hello all,
has anyone attempted (or succesfully implemented) a solution using Standard Edition, **as a replacement** for Enterprise Edition, in a multi-partition environment?
I believe one can use external partitions in SSAS to draw data from SQL Server, I'm not sure if that's a feature that works with the Standard Ed. of SSAS.
Namely, I'd like to see if I can use a setup of 4 installs of SQL Server, Standard Edition, and use that as a feed data into SSAS Standard Edition, and save some money on licensing (probably at a cost of increased maintenance). I know that the Enterprise version also has some enhanced analytics functions and other cool stuff so that'll be lost as well, with this potential setup.
My inclination is that to use external/Remote Partitions one would still need to use the Enterprise Edition, making this the only choice, for large cube builds -- but I may be wrong.
thanks much for any feedback,
Cos
I need to know if it is possible, and if so, the effects of restoring databases from a server running SQL Enterprise Edition to a server running SQL Standard Edition. There will be an application database as well as the "master" database to be restored.
Any suggestions?
Hi,
right now I'm using SQL2000 Std Edition. Our new application requires an OLAP Svcs to be installed. As I found in SQLBooksOnline HTTP access to OLAP cubes is available only in OLAPSvsc Enterprise Edition. Do I have to upgrade SQL Std Edition as well or it is possible to run OLAP Enterprise on top of SQL2000 Standard? Does anyone of you know about step-by-step guide how to move SQL2K Std to SQL Ent?
Thanks in advance for help

Hello everyone,
My company is thinking of migrating from SQL Standard to Enterprise Edition. I am the dba--but not much experience in SQL. Not sure what I need to do if this projec falls onto my shoulder. Any advise will be very much appreciated. Thanks!!!
I need to max out on RAM somewhere around 3 to 4 GB and I am using SQL 2000. Standard SQL 2000 RAM is limited to 2 GB. SQL Enterprise 2000 is maxed out around 32GB and it cost is $1K. I need to purchase a Windows based SQL package but I can't find the specs on SQL Standard 2003 (which is ~$700) to compare.
What is the Max RAM for SQL Standard 2003?
Which is a better purchase relative to RAM?
What O/S is recommended as this also limits RAM usage?
Can either of these be installed on a laptop?
Thanks,
Jaybee.
I'm not a developer and would like your input to compare against what a sales rep is telling me.
I'm managing a small web project that will have a database with a max of 20,000 records with less than 50 field each. It will be hit by anything from 200 to 500 people in a day (max) via Internet connection from all over with all sorts of speed.
The users will select less than 50 filters to obtain the results of the info they are looking for among the 20000 records. Most users will only choose less than 10 filters per search.
That's all that the database will do...seems to me enterprise is way too much, but since I'm not expert, need one of you to help with your input.
Thanks very much!
I'm installing SQL 2005 on a cluster. Currently we do not need the features of enterprise edition, but we may need them in the future. Can you upgrade Standard edition to Enterprise edition (on a cluster)?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAs I found on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143393.aspx its only possible on 32 Bit subsystems and not on native 64 bit - is this true?
In addition is it a complete installations which remains the current configuration? (i guess this because we have to apply all service packs again)?
and at least - is a license upgarde possible or do we have to buy a complete new licence?
Thanks HANNES
Hi 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
Oleg
Hi Folks,
A simple question, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere on line:
Can you use SQL 2005 Standard edition to replicate a SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition?
Many thanks in advance,
