Hi All, I have two drive, C and D. When first time I installed SQL Server 2005, I think that I point to C drive which is having only 10 GB, instead of drive D which has bigger space. Now, I have a problem of restoring my database due to lack of space on my C drive. Can anyone guide me to change the instance of database from drive C to drive D. TIA

Hi, I have installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition on my system. The default instance name is set as SQLEXPRESS. I want to change this to something else. Is there anyway I can do that? Thanks, pravi
Hi We have a bunch of servers running server 2000 & 2003 along with many sql server (versions 2000 & 2005) databases in a production environment pulling transactions then doing warehousing & reporting.
An audit has shown up 1 production server using English_US 'mmddyyyy' system date formats, all others being English_Australian 'ddmmyyyy'.
Is it safe to simply change the regional settings on this English_US server to English_Australian or will it mess up the data in our SQL 2005 databases? I've not been able to get a definitive answer from anyone yet!
Scenario Recently moved a SQL2000 database to SQL2005. Collation on SQL 2000 database server was SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS Colaltion on SQL 2005 database server is Latin1_General_CI_AS
After restoring the SQL 2000 database on SQL 2005 we observed that the database collation was SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. We have altered the database collation to Latin1_General_CI_AS. We understand this will work for all new objects created on the database but existing objects (prior to the collation change) will continue to have the 'SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS' collation.
What is the best method to change the collation of the older columns to 'Latin1_General_CI_AS' - 1) Run ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN <colname> <datatype> COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS <nullability> on each varchar/char column
or
2) For each table BCP out data DROP TABLE RECREATE TABLE (taking the new collation Latin1_General_CI_AS) BCP in data
I installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition and then executed SP2. So, when I try to move master database to another place, I don't obtain to change the Startup Parameters, because the instance SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) in SQL Server 2005 Services in the SQL Server Configuration Manager isn't shown. I observed that if not execute the SP2 the instance SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) is shown. What it can is happening ? Somebody knows some thing on this?
The wrong Cd set was used to install Sql Server 2005 enterprise edition. I need to ensure the license for Sql server is the license from the other CD. is there a way to switch the license without un-installing SQL Server?
Hi there! My provider does not yet support SQL Server 2005, they are still on SQL Server 2000. I put together a very basic login page, but it is crashing everytime I access it because of this problem, and sadly I am not advanced enough as yet to know how to remedy it! Can you help? Here is the error page, some of it; - Any ideas gratefully received! Russ.

Hi all, I've read up on the fact that if you use SQL server 2005 instead of SQL express you need to change the connection string in web.config. Is there anyway to make this default connection type, or do I have to do it for every website I create. i.e. is there a global file that this connection can be entered into. Then whenever I start a new website I don't have to put the string in. Just me being lazy really. But it's nice to know if it's possible.
We have an application using SQLOLEDB connection to a SQL Server 2005 database. Per domain policy, the users are required to change their password every 60 days.
The accounts are established to 'Enforce password policy'.
When we try to execute the 'ALTER LOGIN' command to change the password, locks are being established and will not free the account without bouncing the instance.
After issuing the command, any interaction with the server using this UserID results in a "lock request time out" error 1222.
I have tried issuing this command using both the application and through SQLServer Mgmt Studio Express and the results are the same.
Hello, I have created one application in visual studio 2005 and also created setup project of that application. now i want to install SQL Server Express edition with my application. so i have checked SQL Server Express 2005 in Setup Project Properities(Prerequisites...). now i want to change SQL Secirty Mode during setup. and i don't know how can we do this?
I need a SQL Server 2005 SP2 instance with a collation of SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN2. After installing SP2, the collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN, and none of the patches I can find seem to want to work (they are all apparently written for SQL Server 2000).
I have a NeverFail cluster on which I loaded SQL Server 2005 and SP1.
All was great. Both nodes had no issues with the initial setup or the SP1 update.
When I forced a failover to the inactive node, MOST of the services like SSIS, Full-Text and SQL Browser came up like a champ.
BUT ... the SQL Server service and the SQL Agent did not come up (or shall I say not fully).
I am now looking at the SQL Server Configuration Manager and I see the following for the SQL Server service:
"Name" shows the RED block icon for the SQL Server
"State" shows "Change pending ..."
"Start Mode" is set to Manual
"Log on as" has my domain account listed
"Process ID" has the number 2956 (so it has started somewhat).
I then click open the SQL Service item and it shows that it is stopped.
I am given the option to START the service. When I try to start it, the meter bar comes up and moves slowly to the end and then an error returns of ...
"The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely manner. Consult the event log or other applicable errors logs for details"
If I look under windows Services in the Admin Tools section... I see the services for SSIS, FT and Browser listed and started BUT I see SQL Server says its "starting".
If I click open the service from here, once again it show "starting" and all of the option buttons to Stop-Start-Pause-Resume are grayed out and I am not able to use them.
I have looked in the Windows Event Logs for any events but none are present.
Now I know why the SQL Agent is not running, and of course that is due to is dependency on SQL Server being up and running.
First off WHAT does the "Change pending" message mean?
Then what other logs can I look at for some help or is there someone who has the answers to this dilemma.
hi all, I have created a table in sql server 2005 as follows: table name --> sampletest 1.id -->int ,identity,primary key 2. student_name --> varchar(50),not null 2. active --> bit, default value=1 Using vb.net 2005 , i entered names into sampletest. And when i check the table in the sql server 2005 the names are inserted and the active value is 1. In another page i added a drop down list which bind all the student_name from sampletest and a delete button. Now when i select a name and click the delete button that respective item's active column should be changed to 0. if any one who knows how to do this please help me.. thanks swapna. When i enter names into the student_name it's active state is "true".I do this programmatically using vb.net 2005.
Hi All, I am now working on the design phase of my project, we are looking to implement Change Data Capture (CDC) but i need some help if you guys has implemented before using the SSIS 2005 componets. I am trying to use the Following:
Source---------Derived Column---------Lookup---------------Conditional Split (to split New records and Updated Records)-----------Destination. Respectively. Lets make it clear, my source holds (Old records and newly added or Updated records), the Derived Column is to Derive new columns called Insert_Date and Update_Date. The Lookup i am Using is to look the Fact_Table(the Old Records) as Reference, and then based on this lookup i will split the records on timely based using the Conditional Split. My question is 1. Am i using the right components? 2. what consideration should i have to see to make it true (some Logics on the conditional split)? 3. Any script which helps in this strategy? 4. If you have a better idea please try to help me, i need you help badly.
SQL Server 2005 Express keeps putting in a different password than the one I chose. I would check the properties on the login I want to change. Then I change the password and it gets accepted. When I try my web application, I get the dreaded "login failed for <loginname>". I look at the properties again and see my password never change. Is this a bug? I ever tried this syntax to no avail:
CREATE LOGIN <loginname> WITH PASSWORD='<mypassword>' CHECK_EXPIRATION = OFF, CHECK_POLICY = OFF
We have an existing installation of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (64bit) that we are ready to go live with and would like to change the edition to Enterprise Edition (64bit). We have purchased all the appropriate licenses. We would like to avoid UN-installing the Developer Edition and RE-installing the Enterprise Edition. There must be some way to change a registry key, provide your serial number via a command line utility or re-run the setup with the license key provided and direct it to just change the edition from Developer to Enterprise and not change any of the other settings like service account, sa account, collation, etc. Any help is most appreciated.
Any help will be appreciated. To clarify few things I have no previous MS SQL experience, did some Oracle and MySQL work. I will have to move one Win 2000 server with MS SQL 2005 running one database to our AD 2003 environment. I was wondering if anybody already went through that kind of scenario, and what was the procedure. Thanks
I am trying to find resources of comsiderations / steps to take when changing a sql server instatnce's domain, the name will be the same but it is being moved to a new domain.
One thing i have realised is that replciation must be completely removed and reconfigured , since the sunscriber / distributor are all going to the new domain.
replcation still obviously referencing the old domain.
But what are all the other things that may be affected. A link to an article with details of how to move a sql server 2005 instance to a new domain would be great i just cant find one.
I have approximately 400 - 600 tables that need to have their filegroups changed on a new SQL 2005 installation. In 2000, I could go the table properties in Enterprise Manager and change the filegroup, but on 2005 Management Studio, I can view (but not change) the table properties.
I realize that I can create the table on the other filegroup using a new name, move my constraints and indexes to this new table, copy the data over, drop the original table, then rename the new table to the name my application is expecting. But that could take me weeks (especially with such a time-consuming process)! I don't mind the process being so slow, but I do mind it being labor intensive.
Does anyone have an idea how I can automate this process (or at least make it as easy as it was with Enterprise Manager?)
