Just wondering. On some workstations and a couple of servers we
have apps each running an instance of MSDE so these machines each have
anywhere between 2 - 5 instances of MSDE each.
Would it be benificial from a resources point of view (not to mention a
patching one) if we set up one instance of Express to replace the
multiple MSDE ones?
Anyone got any thoughts?

Himy first post in the data access forums, I really hope, someone can enlighten me here...I have a windows server 2003 running with 15 MSDE instances. No I would like to upgrade to SQL Server 2000 without crashing the existing instances... My perfect scenario woudl be- install sql server as new instance- move existing databases via detach / attach to the new instanceWill that work?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have installed two mssql 2000 MSDE sp4 instances on WinXP SP2.
I can connect both instances from local machine.
But when I try from remote PC, I can only connect to one with default instance name and can't connect to another one ComputerNameInstanceName.
I set the windows firewall off in WinXPSP2. But still can't connect.
I also try with mssql2000 MSDE sp3 instances. It is same ask sp4.
Please help!!!!!!
My client has a server running MS 2003 Server for Smal Business Server, and it has SQL Server Express 2005 installed (I believe it is installed 3 times, as part of SharePoint, Veritas Backup Exec and ACT! applications).
I am trying to implement an application that uses SQL Server 2000, but the Server 2003 SBS does not support that version. So I need to launch an additional instance of SQL Server Exp 2005.
To do so, do I need to download and install SQL Server Express 2005 software again? Or can I just run SQLSVR.exe from an existing instance, but with a different instance name (sqlservr.exe -s<InstanceName>?
The reason I need another instance is that these existing instances limit DDL statements.
I am new to this and compare it to launching MS Word multiple times - you don't need to reinstall Word to run it multiple times.
Is launching from the command line a bad idea - and if it is, what is the better way to ensure that it launches under the local system context a service?
Thanks in advance for any help and insights. It is much appreciated.
I installed MSDE on a pc with no problems, but now I realise I want to create another instance and set DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=1 so I can use Enterprise Manager over the network from another PC.
If I create another instance of MSDE on the PC, can I remove / uninstall the first instance?
Is it any big deal if I leave the first instance?
and last but not least...
If I create a new instance will it see the database I created on the first instance?
told you so...
Can anyone recomend some good literature to explain about instances please :D
So I installed an instance of SQL for an application (WSUS) and all waswell. Having read in many places that I could install multiple instances ofMSDE on the same box, I started the second install today (Live CommunicationServer). The MSDE install portion of LCS gets almost completed and then itrolls itself back and fails with Event ID: 11708. Now when I go back intothe SQL Server Service Manager it says not connected and there are noServices available in the drop down list, including the one that should bethere for WSUS. Should I just reinstall WSUS again (hopefully I won't haveto reconfigure all of the updated approval/deny settings). Any thoughts onwhy the second instance fails? Thanks in advance.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
this is my problem:
I installed SQL 2005 Standard Edition first, then MSDE plus its SP4. Both instances are named (MC05WXPPROSQLMC for 2005 and MC05WXPPROUCTO for MSDE). I inadvertently had not allowed the TCP/IP protocol for MSDE during the installation, so I did it manually later, through SVRNETCN.exe which also ships with SQL 2005.
Now:
I CAN connect to the MSDE instance with any SQL2005 tools through shared memory. But I CANNOT connect to it through TCP/IP. I guess that this is because wrong port binding for the SQL2005 instance, MSDE instance and SQL Server Browser, but I'm not sure.
My system is Windows XP Professional.
Please help.
Any hints welcomed,

Hi,
I think this is a question for the specialists among us.
Can I use one general reporting server (installed on instance MAINREPORTING)
for multiple customers who all have their own sql instance (CUST1, CUST2, CUST3, ..)
I would use UserAuthenciation on the reportserver url to display the specific reports customers can use.
Is this possible, and what do i have to take care off concerning installation and/or configuration (especially on
the reporting side) ?
Greetings

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm would like to replace all occurrences of "99999" and "-99999" with "" in a column using SSIS. I can use the REPLACE function in a Derived Column to replace one of those strings, for example: REPLACE(mycolumn,"99999",""). Or to replace both I could use REPLACE(REPLACE(mycolumn,"-99999",""),"99999",""). This seems kind of cumbersome and would get very complicated if I were replacing more strings with "". I'm guessing there is a better way. Can anyone help me out?

I have records where there are multiple spaces between items of text. I would like to strip out all the excess spaces characters. To that end I have written to separate functions (both are listed below) neither of which I would imagine will be particularly efficient. The first uses an int table and the second a while loop. I am presently ignoring the leading and trailing space issue as this can easily be recitfied with LTRIM and RTRIM. However, I would be keen to know if there is a better way of achieving a similar result.
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.StripAdditionalSpaces (@Input varchar(1000))
RETURNS varchar(1000)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Changed int, @Output varchar(1000)
SELECT @Output = ''
DECLARE @String TABLE ([Output] varchar(1000))
INSERT INTO @String ([Output]) VALUES (@Input)
SELECT @Output = @Output + SUBSTRING([Output], i1.Position, 1)
FROM @String
LEFT JOIN dbo.Ints i1
ON SUBSTRING([Output], i1.Position, 1) <> ' '
or ISNULL(SUBSTRING([Output], i1.Position - 1, 1), '') <> ' '
RETURN @Output
END
GO
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.StripAdditionalSpaces2 (@Input varchar(1000))
RETURNS varchar(1000)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Output varchar(1000)
SELECT @Output = @Input
WHILE @Output LIKE '% %'
BEGIN
SELECT @Output = REPLACE(@Output, ' ' , ' ')
END
RETURN @Output

Hello,
I have an application written in Visual Basic 2008, using a SQL Express 2008 database. This application runs in several locations on stand-alone PC's and there is no network connecting them.
I have to maintain a SQL database in a central location an would like to be able to distribute updated tables from that central location by using an USB stick and replace the tables of the same name in the different locations with the updated ones on my USB stick.
This I would like to do using code within my VB2008 application.
Can someone please help me on the way to achieve this. Is it possible to give some concrete code examples, as I am a newbie as a SQL Server user.
Many thanks and greetings,
Michel
i have sql server 2005 express running. during install, i had issues with a system dll that i found answers online and resolved. i am still very green, but i know much more now than i did at the time. i believe that as a result of the partial then failed installs i have multiple instances either fully or partially installed. when i am in the sql server mgmt express environment, it lists two sql engines. i only ever use one, and would like to safely remove the second without damaging or corrupting anything done with the other instance.
my reasons for wanting to do this are twofold. first, i would like to free up the drive space taken up by the second instance. (i am a stickler for clean harddrive mgmt and maintenance). second, now that i have used the software and am somewhat more familiar with it, i would consider installing a second, intentional instance so that i may attempt to better customize some of the install-time settings and configurations.
can anybody give me any pointers/ guide me in the direction of information on how to SAFELY go about this?
thank you in advance for any help.
I created a second SQL2000 instance on a Windows 2000 server. The strange thing is that I can create an ODBC connection to the default instance but cannot for the new named instance. If I try from a client that has SQL installed on it, I can see both instances. Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks,
Ken Nicholson
We're trying to decide if we should use a single large instance of SQL Server or multiple instances on the same server. This is for a dev environment.Have to limit max RAM per instance so no instance grabs it all.There will be I/O contention and CPU contention between instances since the different instances won't coordinate with each other.It limits the available RAM for In-Memory tables..It sets lower limits to the amount of RAM available for any given query, causing artificial "contention" even when there's nothing else running at the time.

I installed the two instances SQL on one box. ONe is default instance called ACSQL1(actually machine name) and the other one is called ACSQL1/DEVELOPMENT.

I am running SQL 7.0 as the default instance and SQL 2K as a named instance. Each is using a different port....7.0 is using port 1433 and 2K is using 1024. Everything appears to be up and running fine on the server. However, I am not able to access the 2K instance from a client. I have tried to use both TCP IP and named pipes setting them up using the server network utility and the client network utility. No luck anywhere. I continue to get connection errors...check network documentation...
ANY IDEAS??????
Currently, I am running SQL Server 2000 with the default instance. I know SQL2K can run up to 16 instances simultaneously. I would like to add another instance but am unable to find documentation on how to add it. Books online tells me "about" multiple instances, but not how to set it up. I've obviously missed something somewhere. Can someone please direct me to a document that will help explain "how" to add another instance?
Thanks for your time and your help.
