Installation Of MS SQL And Product Keys
Feb 27, 2007
Steve writes "Probably not a tough question if I wasn't a newbie:
I have two copies of MSSQL 2005 standard edition, intended for installation on a dual proc db server. The server is physically placed in a remote hosting service.
Since I need to install remotely, it's non-trivial how to get the bits over there. I could fed-ex the CDs to the hosting service and have them feed the machine.
However they suggested that they simply use their MSDN version, which I accepted.
But it turns out the MSDN version setup has a pre-populated product key, and does not allow me to entire my own product key(s).
So the questions:
1) besides the product key thing, is there any difference between the MSDN version and the retail version?
2) does it matter that I enter my product key(s) during installation, or do I need to simply posess the keys to be legit?
3) On a dual-proc system, must two keys entered to activate operation on each processor?
So in general, I'm confused as to the technical dependence of installation on the product keys. After $12k I kinda want to use them."

Hello,
Maybe is it a newbie question : it is the first time I install a SQL Server licence purchased with the eopen program.
My SQL server licence is a french one. I purchased the correct media kit.
During the installation, I am asked the name, and the company name but the product key is greyed with product id which begin with "RY62Q". I guess it is normal (?)
But later on, when it comes to installing SQL server itself, i get a message telling that my product ID is incorrect. (id : 28021; event type : sqlcasqlcax.cpp@DetectProductID@DetectProductID@x6d75).
I tried dozens of times :
-with another admin account
-after cleaning up the temp and program files subdirectories
-after cleaning up the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server,HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftMSFTESQLInstMap; there was nothing anyway)
If it helps, I first try the installation from a wrong media. As I had no key, I went not far away.
I did received the authorisation number etc from Microsoft but I have no clue of what have to do from that.
As you understood, any help would be appreciated.

I have a sql installation disk that automatically puts in a product key during installation.
We have already used that product key and need to use the disk with a new product key.
When the installation gets to the Registration Information window, the product key is already populated in the field and it does not allow you to change it.
Is there anyway to change it?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello again,
I'm going through my tables and rewriting them so that I can create relationship-based constraints and create foreign keys among my tables. I didn't have a problem with a few of the tables but I seem to have come across a slightly confusing hiccup.
Here's the query for my Classes table:
Code:
CREATE TABLE Classes
(
class_id
INT
IDENTITY
PRIMARY KEY
NOT NULL,
teacher_id
INT
NOT NULL,
class_title
VARCHAR(50)
NOT NULL,
class_grade
SMALLINT
NOT NULL
DEFAULT 6,
class_tardies
SMALLINT
NOT NULL
DEFAULT 0,
class_absences
SMALLINT
NOT NULL
DEFAULT 0,
CONSTRAINT Teacher_instructs_ClassFKIndex1 FOREIGN KEY (teacher_id)
REFERENCES Users (user_id)
)
This statement runs without problems and I Create the relationship with my Users table just fine, having renamed it to teacher_id. I have a 1:n relationship between users and tables AND an n:m relationship because a user can be a student or a teacher, the difference is one field, user_type, which denotes what type of user a person is. In any case, the relationship that's 1:n from users to classes is that of the teacher instructing the class. The problem exists when I run my query for the intermediary table between the class and the gradebook:
Code:
CREATE TABLE Classes_have_Grades
(
class_id
INT
PRIMARY KEY
NOT NULL,
teacher_id
INT
NOT NULL,
grade_id
INT
NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT Grades_for_ClassesFKIndex1 FOREIGN KEY (grade_id)
REFERENCES Grades (grade_id),
CONSTRAINT Classes_have_gradesFKIndex2 FOREIGN KEY (class_id, teacher_id)
REFERENCES Classes (class_id, teacher_id)
)
Query Analyzer spits out: Quote: Originally Posted by Query Analyzer There are no primary or candidate keys in the referenced table 'Classes' that match the referencing column list in the foreign key 'Classes_have_gradesFKIndex2'. Now, I know in SQL Server 2000 you can only have one primary key. Does that mean I can have a multi-columned Primary key (which is in fact what I would like) or does that mean that just one field can be a primary key and that a table can have only the one primary key?
In addition, what is a "candidate" key? Will making the other fields "Candidate" keys solve my problem?
Thank you for your assistance.

what the best practice is for creating indexes on columns that are foreign keys to the primary keys of other tables. For example:
[Schools] [Students]
---------------- -----------------
| SchoolId PK|<-. | StudentId PK|
| SchoolName | '--| SchoolId |
---------------- | StudentName |
-----------------
The foreign key above is as:
ALTER TABLE [Students] WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Students_Schools]
FOREIGN KEY([SchoolId]) REFERENCES [Schools] ([SchoolId])
What kind of index would ensure best performance for INSERTs/UPDATEs, so that SQL Server can most efficiently check the FK constraints? Would it be simply:
CREATE INDEX IX_Students_SchlId ON Students (SchoolId)
Or
CREATE INDEX IX_Students_SchlId ON Students (SchoolId, StudentId)
In other words, what's best practice for adding an index which best supports a Foreign Key constraint?

Hi,
I have recently been looking at a database and wondered if anyone can tell me what the advantages are supporting a unique collumn, which can essentially be seen as the primary key, with an identity seed integer primary key.
For example:
id [unique integer auto incremented primary key - not null],
ClientCode [unique index varchar - not null],
name [varchar null],
surname [varchar null]
isn't it just better to use ClientCode as the primary key straight of because when one references the above table, it can be done easier with the ClientCode since you dont have to do a lookup on the ClientCode everytime.
Regards
Mike

I have gotten so far as to find an entry in my SQLSTP.TXT filethat says that c:mssql7 was detected so the install fails.Now, to start with there is no directory called C:mssql7 on thisserver. I have gone through all MS articles on manual removal of SQLserver and instances. I have searched the registry for mssql7 andremoved any keys that matched, as per MS article I have searched onSQLBOOT.dll and it is not present anywhere on my system and I still getthe same results.2:07:44 Begin Action: Detection12:07:44 SQL Server version already installed: 7.00.62312:07:44 Previous Install SQL Path: C:MSSQL712:07:44 Previous Install SQL Data Path: C:MSSQL712:07:44 End Action Detection12:07:44 Begin Action: ODBCLocked12:07:44 End Action ODBCLocked12:07:44 GetDefinition returned: 112:07:44 Previous SQL Server ProductType: MSDE [0x4]12:07:44 This combination of Package and Operating System allows a fullproduct install.can anyone think of anything here..what else could be causing the server to think there is a previousversion of SQL 7 on this box!!!?

I get an error when trying to install the SQL Native Client. It
says it cannot find the installation package and to use a valid copy of
'sqlncli.msi'. I've downloaded the Express setup twice and get
the same error from both of them.

I want to upgrade 5 SQL Server 6.5 production boxes to SQL Server 7. I got
SQL Server 7.0 pricing and licensing list from
www.microsoft.com/sql/70/gen/pricing.htm and I think I should buy 5 SQL
Server 7.0 Combined Product/Version/Competitive Upgrade (Since I have been using SQL Server 6.5, I don’t need to buy the full product. Is this right?). I am not sure if
the upgrade offer (the price is much lower than the full product offer $699/$1399) includes the SQL Server 7.0 both software and access license.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi,
I am interested in opinions on the following,
main(product_id, short_text, price, type)
productTypes(type_id, type)
productTables(type_id, tableName)
productA(product_id, field1, field2)
productB(product_id, field1, field2)
To retrieve all products of type 'A', one must know the table name, in this case 'productA'.
Here is one method.
Create a table that contains the table name that corresponds to each product type, thus the stored procedure only needs to recieve the type_id which can be used to obtain the name of the respective table.

We are building a system that has mobile clients (laptop with XP and tablet with XP). These clients have data moving back and forth to a centralised n-tier server based system. The communications is proprietory and are very low bandwidth (5 KByte/sec).
We've decided that the best approach to handling both the reference data (ranging from trivial to a complex list of items - about 2 million rows) and the day-to-day operational data is with a database product rather than attempting to handle it ourselves within code.
The question is - what SQL platform to use? SQL Everywhere seems to be a fairly good choice except that it does not seem to support stored procedures. SQL Express is another possibility but there are concerns about the size of the footprint and managing the database engine and the database itself.
The users of the mobile client are considered computer illiterate and would not be able to manage any database administrative tasks. They only come back to base every three to six months. History has shown remote management of the machine has proven difficult (if not impossible) via the low bandwidth connection.
The machines have 512MB of RAM and only 40GB of disk. They have to support XP, Office, our client, and our GIS client. What is the best answer?
Traditionally we would have used MSDE.
Regards
Paul

Hi guys,
Does anybody know a convenient way to return the product of a column, similar to something like the 'sum' function?
If I have a table of form id-date-value, I'd like to do something like:
select id, date, product(val)
If not, does anyone know of a way one could structure this as a subquery?
If all else fails, I suppose I'll have to resort to a loop or cursor, but I'd rather not.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I have a SQL statement with two left outer joins which connects 3 tables. Vendors, Tracking & Activity. For whatever reason, even though each is a one-to-many relationship, I am able to join 2 tables (from Vendors to Tracking) without an issue. when I then join Activity, I get a Cartesian product.I suspected that 'DISTINCT'.
SELECT DISTINCT CASE
WHEN `vendor`.`companyname` IS NULL then 'No Company Assigned'
ELSE `vendor`.`companyname`
