Installation Requirements - Drive Location?
Apr 17, 2007
I was trying to install the Developer Edition of 2005 last night, and ran into a strange issue. I specified F:SQLDev as the installation directory, but the installer still refused to install claiming lack of disk space. Checking the disk cost, I saw that it was still asking for about 1.5 GB on my C: drive. I double checked, and I did specify the installation directory as F:SQLDev.
Is there documentation somewhere that describes why it would require space on the boot drive? Or am I missing a switch somewhere or something?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I have a sql server (2k sp4), a web server and a development machine.
I need to install sql server reporting services and am confused as to the prerequisites and as to what gets installed where.
Is there a server install and a client install or do I run the same install on both (and deselect what's not required on each).
Sorry it's a bit vague but in my research various people have told me various different things.

Hello experts out there,
Just one quick question, will installing reporting services require the server to reboot or sql to restart? I'll do this to a production server and just wonder if I can do while the box is in use.
Thank you in advance. You guys rock!

Please send me a short feedback.

I currently have about 4 databases on our SAN located in one of the drives. These databases are going to expand massively and I want o seperate 1 onto seperate drives located on the SAN. I figured using SQL Server Management Studio I could complete this with an easy "Detach / Attach" operation. When I go to attach the files back into SQL, it doesn't read any other drive other than the current drive all of the databases are located on.
Is there a way to do this?

Hello,
Wondering if anyone can help. When I install SQL Server Express it says that my computer does not meet system requirements. I have a Thinkpad T60 with XP SP2 and .Net Framework 2.0 but it still won't go. So my system meets the requirements on the web but the intsaller says it doesn't. Any ideas?
Thank you!

I've been working with SQL Server for a few years now and I've had quite a few cases where users cannot backup SQL to a network location or external hard drive. Why can SQL not do this? Is it some limitation of the speeds at which SQL needs to backup the information and the external hard drives/network drives do not meet the requirements?

Hi,
When the battery dies the SQL Ce installation vanishes. Especially the following dlls which were copied into the Windows directory during installation are getting vanished when the battery dies.
sqlCese30.dll
sqlCepqp30.dll
sqlcemme30.dll
sqlceer30EN.dll
I guess this is because of the fact that RAM content vanishes when the power goes off.
Is there a way i could install the SQL CE in the Storage Card?
I can install the Compact Framework in the Storage Card but not the SQL CE.
I have installed the CF, My application in the Storage Card. Just because of this SQL CE does not allow me to choose the installation directory, i have to install the SQL CE everytime the battery dies out.

Hello Experts,
I am relatively new to VB 2005 and SQL Express. I have a question concerning where I can find the SQL-database file (*.mdf) after I have installed (published) my VB 2005 database-application (the *.mdf file was created by Visual Studio Express?). It seems it is nowhere in the disk of the of pc it is installed on. So, what happens to *.mdf file after installation of the application, in what way I can connect to the *.mdf file after the application - the file is part of - is published?
In need of help,
MY

Hi,
I am using SQL Server configuration indirectly with the connection to it configured in an XML configuration file with the location of the XML file and the connections all being different between development and production. I deploy to the file system using the SSIS Deployment Manifest/Package Installation Wizard.
It seems that sometimes the path to the XML config file is updated in the deployed packages and sometimes it is not.
When the path is updated, all connection strings (as displayed in the Connection Managers section of the Execute Package Utility) are displaying the new values as well.
When it is not, it looks for the XML file in the development location and since it cannot find it all configurations still point to the development connections.
Does anyone know of any conditions when the location of the XML config does not get updated and when it doesn't?
Thanks,
Sven

Why wont the installer for SQL Server let me install onto a drive other than the C drive? I am trying to install the Client tools only, but it insists on making me install to C. I need to install to a different drive for space reasons. I had SQL Server 2000 client installed, but I have since uninstalled it and tried the SQL 2005 install again and every time it wants to use the C drive.
If anyone knows a why to make this work I would greatly appreciate it.

When adding a node to a SQL Server 2012 Standard edition cluster, how I do I identify the location for SQL server shared components and the rest of the SQL Server installation binaries?
When adding a node to a SQL Server 2012 Standard edition cluster all the binaries went to the C: drive default location. We put those files on a different drive when installing the first node. What needs to be done so both nodes have the binaries on the same drives and folders?

Hi
I have been trying to use openrowset with a shared drive, and even though the share has "full control" permissions granted to "everyone" and the accout that SQL runs under has been granted explicit full control permissions I am unable to open the file which itself has no security on it.
Can I not use a \ path and only use mapped drives?
Thanks
below works...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=C:5People.xls', [Sheet1$])
below doesn't work...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=\cluster02FileManager5People.xls', [Sheet1$])

I am trying to move a log file from one drive to another.
What I have done is add another file to my file group. So now my log has a file on the 'e' drive and one on the 'f' drive. I now want to remove the file on the 'e' drive. I have emptied the file on the 'e' drive. When doing the command:
ALTER DATABASE Uniprodruntime
REMOVE FILE m_rk_runtime_log
I get the following error message..
Server: Msg 5020, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The primary data or log file cannot be removed from a database.
I have also gone into enterprise manager and tried to delete the file and it does nothing.
Has anyone run into this?

Server: SQL 2008 R2

2: TempDB is at the wrong location. Its current location is this :C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.SQLPROD6MSSQLDATA empdb
How do I change its location?
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.SQLPROD6MSSQLDATA empdb
Correct location of TempDB should be: TempDB(T:) But its not there

Being a very novice SQL Server administrator, I need to ask the experts a question.
How do I go about moving a database from 1 drive to another? The source drive (C is local to the server, but the target drive (E is on a Storage Area Network (SAN), although it is still a local drive for the server. I want to move the database from C: to E:. Can someone provide me with instructions?
Thanks,

This is taken directly from a job requirement (names are not mentioned to protect the ignorent...I meant Innocent): The employee must occasionally lift and/or move up to 25 pounds. While performing the duties of this job, the employee is frequently required to stand; walk; sit; talk or hear; use hands to finger, handle, or feel; reach with hands and arms; climb or balance; stoop, kneel, crouch, or crawl.

For SQL 2000, what are the licensing requirements for a clustered environment? I thought you needed datacenter for the OS, is there a clustered version of sql server, or do you need 2 copies of enterprise edition. Also, if you cluster can you license sql cals for clients, or do you have to do by processor?

Hey all,
I couldn't find an answer anywhere on the site, if there is one, could you please let me know where to go? Thanks.
Here goes. We receive large csv files, around a million records a month. What we need to do is:
- Of course, import these records
- Be able to run failry heavy reports on around 3 months worth of data (about 3 million records)
- Wanting to store at least a years worth of data
What I need to know:
- What server(s) spec (CPU, HDD, memory, etc) would we need to import and run reports quite fast. Don't want the reports/imports to take days to run. The reports will need to be run by about 3-5 people at the same time
- What OS and database type should I use (I was looking at Windows/Linux and MS SQL/MySQL)
- If we run these types of reports, can we use the same SQL server to run/store other applications (eg. CRM, etc) with no real impact on performance. There would be at least 20 people using the CRM database at the same time.
Thanks

Can 2005 be installed on XP Media Center Edition? I looked on the SQL site,
but it only references Windows XP, not this particular version. Any whitepapers, links, etc., would be especially appreciated.
