SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition Licensing (How To Install Without A License, Then Require License On First Run)
Oct 13, 2006I have a VERY Legitmate use to install sql 4 workgroups on a pc without licensing it. I am making a disk image for MANY pcs to be imaged and load licensing after the imaging is completed.
I have been able to do this with Windows XP Professional, MS Office 2003 and a couple non-Ms programs. The information for MS software even came from their KB, so I know what I am doing is legit. I just can't find any information on doing this for my sql app.
Any suggestions??

MS SQL 2005 And PDC Confusion
Nov 3, 2006hello everyone, I am kind of confused with MS SQL 2005. I have friends who have been developing with MS SQL. They told me that in order to have a MS SQL Server, one need to have a PDC.
This is really a problem since I am behind a Unix box acting as a firewall/gateway. AFAIK, to install a PDC means that DHCP comes with it and DNS. This is really a problem...
Is it possible to have a MS SQL server without having to create a PDC? If so, how do I connect to my database on an MS SQL server. I develop in VB. I would appreciate any help/tips... TIA :D
Confusion Over SQL 2005 Standard CPU Support
Feb 6, 2007I'm a little confused over the maximum CPU count supported by SQL 2005 Standard Edition (this particular edition supports four CPUs).
Does the figure refer to four physical CPUs regardless of whether they are dual-cored or hyperthreaded, or does the figure refer to the number of logical CPUs available to the OS?
Let me cut to the chase - if I purchase a server containing four dual-core CPUs and install SQL Server 2005 Standard, will SQL Server see the eight CPUs and utilise a maximum of four of these, or will it be able to use all eight (because there are actually only four physical CPUs)?
Thanks, Chris.

View 6 Replies View RelatedA Bit Of Beginner Confusion About SQL Server 2005 Encryption
Dec 26, 2007Hi,
I have studied a variety of online documents explaining built-in SQL Server 2005 encryption, and I'm a bit confused. Every encryption approach, it seems, ultimately replies upon a password that must be provided with queries to access the data. As an application developer, it brings up the obvious question: how should that password be provided? If I build the password into my applications, then it will no longer be secure. On the other hand, I can't possibly expect my users to provide a password every time they perform an action that requires unencrypting data. If I give that password out to 50 users, the password will become public information quickly, I am sure. We will also have to alter the password regularly. Plus several of my applications run as windows services, in which case the user (meaning the windows user under which the service runs) won't be around to type in password.
I have a better solution in mind. Is there an option to limit access to symmetric keys by windows identity? As a best-standards-abiding coder, all of my sql server access is done via Windows Authentication instead of SQL Server Authentication. Why not make it so that myorgjoe and myorgsally can access the symmetric key for a particular column, but nobody else? This way there is still a password involved, but it is now moved further up the application layers; it is the windows password that the user originally used to log into their machine to run the application.
Is there a way to make it so that access to symmetric keys (or asymmetric keys which encrypt symmetric keys) is decided solely on the basis of windows user identity?
Thank you for any thoughts!

SQL 2005 License Options
May 22, 2006Ok, here goes....
What exactly does a standard SQL 2005 license cover? I want to have 3 client stations entering data, one IIS serving up data to an unknown number of persons via a web page. Under the 1 server 5 CAL package would this setup be covered? or will I have to go the processor route? I might add that the user accessing via the web service would be on an intranet behind a firewall.
Thanks in advance!

Changing License Key In SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition 64-bit
Apr 28, 2008Hi,
I need to install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition 64-bit running on Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition 64-bit. Instead of installing it on every single machine I thought of installing it on one of them, updating it with all the necessary updates, creating a ghost image of the updated system and database and copying the image on all the other machines.
After doing it I however need to update both the system and SQL Server license keys. And there comes my question whether one can change the SQL Server license key after the installation??
Thanks in advance

Product Key For SQL Server Standard Edition 2005 Via Open License Agreement
Sep 28, 2007
Hi,
I have a customer, Customer who has purchased SQL Server Standard Edition 2005 via Open License Agreement. The product key is not available with the media.
I checked with eOpen team and confirmed that SQL 2005 does not require product key or Volume License Key for installation.
however, according to the VKB article 331355 titled "eOpen License Web Site" under "Exceptions" it is mentioned as:
SQL Server: The product key is distributed with the media. If the customer did not get a product key with the media, refer them to their reseller. The product key is hidden between two shrink-wrapped CDs.
Need your clarification on this,
How should we provide the key to the customer.
Thanks,

DTS Confusion...
Nov 28, 2001I'm using DTS for the first time and am having difficulty understanding some of its usage.
In essence, I have 70 tables which are on an ORACLE database. I've created the schema on SQLServer from an ERWin model. I now wish to use DTS to import the data into SQLServer. Of course there are referential integrity constraints. The DTS 'import wizard' seems oblivious of these and carries out the import in alphabetical order!
I'm now trying the DTS designer (which I don't fully understand yet). It appears that I have to create a workflow which moves the workflow from table to table in the order dictated by RI - this is not a trivial task! (I want point and click!!).
Are there any shortcuts I can take to have DTS automatically arrange the workflow in the correct order? Can I do it programaticaly? I don't want to have to fiddle with 140 'workflow' and 'success' links.
Cheers.

SQLExpress ASP.NET Confusion
Jul 19, 2006Hello,I am just getting reaquainted with programming and all. I work in GIS mapping and am having diffilculty using a ASP.net internet Map site and adding records to a needed database.I would like to be able to add records to a linked SQLExpress table when the user clicks on a map location. I adapted the following code snippet from an example that does what I would like only using an .mdb file.CODE: // create connection to database var connection; connection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection"); connection.Open("Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=OutdoorsExp;Data Source=NOLOGOSQLEXPRESS;"); status = "Can't access 'FishSQL' table."; // create recordset var recordset; recordset = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset"); recordset.CursorType = 1 recordset.LockType = 3; recordset.Open("dbo.FishTable", connection); status = "Can't append new record."; // append record for clicked location recordset.AddNew(); recordset.Fields("LongitudeI").Value = xco; recordset.Fields("LatitudeI").Value = yco; recordset.Update(); recordset.Close(); // release the .mdb file connection.Close();However, this does not add anything to the SQLEx table. What am I missing? I am thinking that it might have something to with the primary key.I had a table with way more columns then just lat/longs (as above) but only coded it to add data to the latitude and longitude fields. Nothing got added of course. Would have to add data to every field that doesnt allow nulls.How do I generate a random, unique ID for a primary key on the fly and for example add it to the appropriate column.Thanks you in adavnce for any insights.

DateTime Confusion.
Oct 25, 2007Hi All,I'm stumped. I've got a stored procedure with a number of input parameters, and working fine.I added two extra input parameters, FromDate datetime, ToDate datetime. I have not even included these in the SQL yet and just tried to execute the stored proc alone with manually inputting paramters, but I keep getting error: @FromDate: this input parameter cannot be converted.That surely means a formatting issue, so I copy and pasted a value directly from the database into this parameter field, and still get the same error. I've tried various formats, with single and double quotes, and without. But just dont know?And even when I populate these parameters in my code and call the stored proc, it returns no results either, even though I haven't included these new date paramters in the SQL select, so that means it was in error and no doubt a formatting issue on those date fields.format I used was: 17/07/2007 00:00:00 I tried to populate the parameters via the code as follows: Dim dt As DateTime DateFromTB1.Text = DateTime.Now DateTime.TryParse(DateFromTB1.Text, dt) SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters("FromDate").DefaultValue = dt I know there is an extra step for now (DateFromTB1.Text = DateTime.Now), this step will fall away and just parse the textbox.text field as entered by the user.Any help appreciated, thanks.

May 1, 2008I've got this query and it use to work or at least I thought it did. Could someone please help me with it.
Thank you
SELECT CID, CompletionDate, MarkedExport, CustomerName, EditUser, RouteID, WorkOrder FROM RouteCustomer WHERE (CompletionDate IS NOT NULL) AND (ExportDate IS NULL) AND (RouteID LIKE '%' + ISNULL(RouteID,@RouteID) + '%') AND (EditUser IS NULL OR EditUser = '' OR EditUser = @EmployeeID) AND (MONTH(CompletionDate) = ISNULL(MONTH(CompletionDate),@Month))
The problem comes with in the WHERE clause. What I wanted it to do is if the user did want to use a RouteID critera then the user would speified one else it wouldn't, and it was my belief that the ISNULL feature in SQL was the answer for that. same for the Month. I believe the EditUser is fine the way it is written.
thanks to anyone that can help me with this.

Connection Confusion
Apr 27, 2005When I try to run my application on our server I cannot connect to the SQL Server that's on the same machine (a named instance). I get the SqlException:Login failed for ("null") user. Not a trusted SQL Server connection. I CAN however, connect to this database from the IDE on my laptop--the app works just fine.
I have reconfigured the IIS, the default site and the directory for the app: I turned off anonymous access, turned it on, changed users, changed passwords, etc. I have done the same for the database, added users, changed permissions, added permissions, etc., you get the picture...none of it worked. (I changed the connection string to those users/pwds)
I saw on an MS site that this error can occur under heavy loads...but that's not the case here.
Please help! Thanks!!
