After installing MS SQL Server 7 several databases appears in the database
folder named: distribution, master, model, msdb, northwind, pubs and tempdb.
Is it safe to delete any of those pre-installed bases?

I am an oracle dba who has had to take on SQL Server DBA duties.I have configured the operating system and verified the cluster for a Windows 2008R2 Active / Passive Cluster
.
I am now going to install the SQL Server Instance and build my database on the first node. Do you know of a great link to a procedure that defines the steps in performing this phase of the installation?Also, do you know of a good link to a checklist for testing the sql cluster once the databases are installed?
Hi Friends,
I have a question. At my home computer i downloaded and installed VWD. As usual it also installed Sqlexpress as part of the installation(i checked the option). Later on i downloaded Management studio separately so i am fine with my home computer as every thing is free.
But at work we decided to develop application using VS 2005 and Sqlserver 2005. So we bought and installed VS2005 professional edition at work and it also installed Sqlexpress during the installation as a defualt desktop engine. I am fine with that too. But i am not understing where do i get the Management studio? Is it some thing i could get it off the web for free or what? I am not sure we would have an option while installing the VS 2005 professional that also does install management studio and we need to check that option. I am not sure if we could get the management studion off the web for free and and evelop applications.
Please advise. Thanks -L
I want to find whether SQL Server 2005 x86 is installed or SQL Server 2005 x64 is installed programatically(Any API would do.) If anyone can recommend a registry key that I can rely on find whether it is a 32 bit or 64 bit SQL Server that would suffice.
View 5 Replies View RelatedDear Readers,Is it possible, like in Access, to link to tables in other SQL databases that are on the same server? I have a query that I originally had in Access that queered from multiply databases. It did this by having those other tables in the other databases linked to the database that had the query.
I just restored my SQL server 2000 database on the SQL server 2005. after this i ran the Service broker sample ("Hello World") on this database by changing the AdventureWorks name to the new database name. The "setup.sql" runs fine. When i run the "SendMessage.sql" i was not getting any rows in the output (The message was not getting inserted into the queue). I checked the Service broker is enabled on this databased using the query "select is_broker_enabled from sys.databases where name = 'newdbname' " It was 1. I even tried the ALTER DATABASE SET ENABLE_BROKER. but it didnt work.
When i tried the sample on a newly created database it worked fine.
Is there any solution to make the restored database to work for service broker.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm just wondering how many people have gone to SQL 7 SP3.
Is it a case of only applying it if it fixes a particular problem you are experiencing, or have you installed it to keep with the latest version ?
Please let me have your thoughts (I'm currently running SP2).
Regards,
Tim
Hey all,
How do I install a SQL Server 2005 Express to have no instance?
I have a SQL 2005 Server Enterprise which has no instance, just the server name, even when pointing to the DB, you just use the server name and the DB name.
I am not any good in SQL, but need to configure SQL Express for a project I am busy with and would like it if I could only have a name, and not an instance.
hi friends,
in my system, just client tools were installed.i'm able to register to the other servers.but it is anot accepting to register my system. is there any thing to do?
How can you find out if Service Pack 1 (SP1) has been installed already or not?

I'm running Sharepoint server and Visual Studio on Windows server 2003. Sharepoint has its sql (officeServer) and Visual Studio installed sql express when it was installed. I can't connect to either one in VS or anywhere else. I wanted to install the adventureWorks sql database, so as to do SDK samples, and that didn't work either. I really don't understand what's going on with sql and how to use it. I can see both are running in the SQL configuration manager. Can anyone help?

I had previously had VS2005 Beta installed from my MSDN discs. When it expired, I uninstalled it and downloaded VWD Express to install. VWD installed fine, but the SQL Server Express will not install. The VWD install package doesn't give me any feedback, just says it failed. I tried dowloading and installing SQL Express separately, and it tells me that I have to uninstall all components from other versions. I have done that, but still wont install. If I use the uninstall utility on the website, it tells me it can't find any components, and all of the components listed in the manual uninstall instructions are missing, so I can't find anything further to uninstall. (FYI: I'm running XP Pro SP2).
I'm wondering if a registry setting or something didn't get updated on uninstall. I see a registry folder for "Microsoft SQL Server" but I do not know if this could be getting in the way.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I am wondering how I can check which type of SQL Server 7 I have installed. (ie Standard/Enterprise etc) If I use @@version the following is returned:
Microsoft SQL Server 7.00 - 7.00.699 (Intel X86)
I know that the service pack number is incorporated into the version number above but I want to know the type of server I have running.
Any ideas on how I can get this information?
Cheers
Jan
I'm unable to install SQL Server 7 on Windows NT with SP5. I get

Does anyone know how I would go about getting the MS SQL Server agent to show up as a service ? For some reason it does not show up on my Server as a service even though SQL Server 2000 is installed on that server.

I have a server that has SQL Server installed on both C and D drives. The SQL Server software is currently running from the C drive and the live databases and backups are stored on the D drive.
I need to have everything on the D drive. Is there an easy way to make the registry point to the D drive without reinstalling SQL Server? The software will needs to run from the D drive because the C drive is running out of disk space. I will also need to delete the whole C:mssql directory.
Thanks.
I have an ugent situation. Due to a failure we had to build a new db server for an application and this was done succuessfully. The application requires DTC and it was not intalled when we install SQL on the server.
How do I install DTC? Did I miss an obscure option during SQL install?

Customer has an SBS 2000 server setup, and had installed SQL Server 2000 on it. They have an application (Time Slips) which I thought could use SQL, but apparently they bought the standard edition which only supports the use of MSDE.
I thought MSDE was like SQL 2000 "lite". I want to house the MSDE database on the server, but it says it cannot find MSDE.
Do I need to uninstall SQL 2000 Server? And where do I go to install MSDE properly on the server, and what is required for each W2K Pro workstation?
Thanks!

Please forgive me if this sounds so silly, but I am a complete newbie on SQL SERVER (the only think I ve worked on so far is Access) and I need help.
I ve just installed the SQL Server 2005 and the things I have are about configuation, such as:
-sql server configuration manager
-sql server error and usage reporting
-sql server surface area configuration
-notification services command prompt
-reporting services configuration
Is that all? Did I miss anything? How am I supposed to create databases? How can I connect remotely to another server (database)?
I know I may sound stupid but Im on the beginning and I would so much appreciate any kind of help.
Thanks in advance,
Martha

Does anyone know how i can find out if SQL Server is installed on the current machine, and the version that is installed?
Thank you in advance.
Hi I had earlier installed a SQL 2000 personal Edition and with it I also installed a database called AdventureWorks, that I was using along with a Book on Beginning T-SQL. Today I uninstalled the personal edition to install SQL 2000 Developer edition to work on Reporting Services. I install personal edition and installed the developer edition. When I started the enterprise manager, I could not see the AdventureWorks database. I reinstalled it several times but still cannot see it come up in the enterprise manager nor in the data analyzer. I can see that the database files -mdf and ldf - has installed ok in the directory C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLData but i cannot still see the database in enterprise manager. It apprears as if enterprise manager is looking at a different folder. Can someone please help? Much appreciated.

Hi all, Im new here so il start with a little introduction of myself, My name is Arjan im 19 years old from Holland, and i work for a company to compleet my ICT Education.
My situation:
My boss gave me a server with server 2003 standard and Sql server 2005 and visual studio 2005 installed already, he asked me if i could figure out how the 'new' reporting services work, Im pretty new to SQL and the reporting service but i figured out i had to install asp.net / frameworks and IIS.
So right now i wanna start the Reporting Services Configuration Manager and i get an error that says 'Invalid namespace' and when im trying to approach by using my browser i get 'page not found' so obviously their is Alot wrong. I asked my boss if i could not reinstall everything and do it in the correct order (IIS / ASP.net / Frameworks before installing SQL server 2k5 but that was not an option because we dont seem to have the cd's anymore.
The server is not connected to any network or the internet.
My Question:
Is their any way to fix this? and if yes could anyone tell me where to start
Thanks in Advance!
ps if their is information or logs that u need in order to help me just say so :-)

hi! i d like to ask the following:
can i create a database through visual studio?
or i need to have sql server seperately installed on my computer and do it from there?
Greetings everyone.
I am relatively new to SQL2005.
During the SQL2005 installation on the on one of our servers, a component of SQL2005 was apparently not checked for installation. As a result, it was not installed. That component is called SSIS.
At least that's what my research said.
As a result, anytime we would attempt to import flat file (txt), it would fail with some SSIS package error.
We communicated this to our SQL Admin and he said he had reinstalled the SSIS component.
Yet, we are still having the same problem importing flat files.
2 questions:
1, Is there a way to verify that SSIS has or has not been installed?
2, Is it really the reason a flat file could not imported?
Thanks for your help

Hi All,
My program is written in VB.NET and the DB is SQL 2005 Ex Ed.
I have installed both, the SQL SERVER 2005 and my program on the SERVER.
But when I try to run my program I get the following error mssg:
The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy.
The operation required the SecurityExceptio. To grant this application the required permission please contact your Systems administrator, or use the Microsoft .Net security policy administration tool.
If you click continue......
Request for the permission of type
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission. System Data,
Version = 1.0.5000.0 = neutral.
PublicKey Token = b77a5c561934e089 failed.
My Systems administrator says I have got full control of the Folder that was created on the SERVER.
So what could be wrong?
Tnx
Hi,
I'm from Argentina. I have SQL Server 2005 Developer Ed. installed. Can I run both Developer Ed. and Express Ed. on the same PC? I have Vista Business as OS.
Thanks.
I couldn't remember which computers I had already installed sp2 on so checked but one computer (running Windows Server 2003 and SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition) seems to have a discrepancy. SELECT @@VERSION returns (Build 3790: Service Pack 1) but the status bar shows "9.0 SP2". Thanks for any insight into this.

How do I find out if SP 2 has been installed on my server?
Hi all,
I have a DTEXECUI.exe related question. This util is installed on our QA server, but not our dev-server. Is this optional during installation? I can't ask our admin, he's on vacation.
Maybe important to note, is that the QA-server runs on 64 bit, where as the other servers are only 32-bit..
Regards & Season greetings,
T.
