I am not sure if this is the right forum, I already had some one freakout on me in another forum about posting in the wrong place.
Anyway:
I would like to upgrade a machine from SQL 7 to MSDE 2000. I would like to keep the existing database from Altiris Deployment solutions intact. Is this upgrade possible?
Any help would be appreciated
Can you install Sql Server 2000 Developer Edition with MSDE 2000 release A already installed?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy objective is to use Enterprise Manager to move (copy) my SQL db from the server to my windows desktop computer.
I downloaded MSDE and am having trouble installing it, no doubt because I do not understand the documentaion (ReadMeMSDE2000A.htm).
When I try to run setup, I get that message that says:
"A strong SA password is required for security reasons. Please use SAPWD switch to supply the same."
Considering my purpose, do I need a "strong" SA password? If not, how do I get around it? If yes, how do I set it up?
I am a Mac user so I have poor windows skills, please make it as painless as possible for me, thanks!

Will any application developed against SQL Server 2000 Developer
Edition work on an identical platform with only MSDE 2000 installed? I
understand there's a concurrency limit with MSDE 2000 of around 25 (and there's no GUI) but apart
from that, are there any aspects of SQL Server 2000 functionality (from the .NET applicaiton code's point of view) that
are "disabled" in MSDE 2000?
Trying to transfer databases from MSDE to SQL. When I use SQLEnterprise Manager - DTS - import or export, it works for the firstdatabase, but then fails for the others. I select the to and fromdatabases using DTS - Import - 'MS OLE DB Provider for SQL Server',then select 'Copy objects and data between SQL Servers'. It failswith the generic error message: 'Copy objects failed', nothingfurther. I tried to just copy data, and it doesn't work totally. Ontwo databases, it said that it copied everything, but when I go inunder Enterprise manager, some of the tables are incomplete, i.e. nodata, table shows up in the list, but if you try to look at it, itsays that it is missing or empty. Also, one table was not evencopied. In the other two cases, I get errors, does not copy alltables. I get errors, like insert fails, but the column it referencesfor the table does not even exist in that table. Any suggestionswould be appreciated.
View 2 Replies View Relatedi went through the documentation but i was not clear on following, here is the scenario :-
a Central server is having SQL Server 2000
3 Remote Locations :- Each having 4-5 no of computers, connected on a Lan, and on one of the machines MSDE 2000 will be running.
My Questions are :-
1. Can remote locations, update data locally and send changes (say in every one hour) to central server. If yes, then how ??
2. Same way they can receive updates from Central Server on whatever was updated on Centra Server or on the 3 remote locations. If yes, then How ??
any help will be highly appreciable.
I am creating an install program and I'm wondering if there is a
difference between SQL Server 2000 and MSDE 2000? Do they have
different entries in the Registry?
From the documentation that I've read it seems as if they are one and the same.
However, if someone knows how to differentiate between them in the Registry it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I am about to setup an application server. This app will generate reports and instead of just having a HTML page up, I am considering running dotnetnuke type portal to offer the userbase a better interface for the reports, info, announcement, etc.
Server isn't too bad (2x1.7Ghz Xeon I think, 2GIG RAM) type of setup (may be little more or less). App doesn't require as much resources, but we are planning for the future )
While I have some resource to play with, I also need to make sure I don't load much that may impact the application performance. In my experience, SQL Server 2000 will take a lot of resources even when not used as much. So I am considering MSDE.
I am curious however, WHAT ARE THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SQL 2000 Server Vs MSDE 2000 ?
Beside no Client tool and mostly command line specific command, what else there to convince that I should go for server vs desktop engine?
Now our company has Enterprise license for SQL, so I am not worried about the cost (well a little maybe), but mostly wondering about performance.
If you think of any reason why I go to SQL Server 2000 over MSDE, please let me. Otherwise, I think MSDE in this case is the appropriate RDBMS to go for.

Hi,
How does one install MSSQL 2000 on a machine that's already running MSDE 2000? Do i need to unintstall MSDE, or both can be installed seperately??
Is there a way to simply upgrade MSDE into MSSQL 2000?
Thanks!

Hello all, im new here and do not have no experience with sql. I am trying to install a tax software that I need to run my little business. When I install it gets to a popint that it asks me for my SQL server usernme and password. I remember doing this last year and I reinstalled MSDE and set up a username and password. I seem to not remember what I used, i tried all that I would have but can not get past that step.
I remember adding some lines in the setup,ini file when I installed it last year. Now I can go ahead and reinstall it again and set up a new one, but will the uninstalling and reinstalling of MSDE affect my previous software from last year? Its the same software but I need this years installed.
I have tried using sa as the username and a blank password, with a password and others that I have read up on, still cant log on. Keep getting worng credential screen.
Is there a way to get that info, i doubt it or else it would not be secure, or can I just simply reinstall MSDE?
Many thanks!!
Did anybody tried to use this as a database server? Is there an administration interface somewhere which is free?

I only have Framework installed on my machine, and I also installed MSDE 2000 Rel. A, using the following command:
C:MSDERelAsetup.exe SAPWD="myPass" INSTANCENAME="myXP"
I can see that the service for this app is running. Though, I could not connect to it using oSql command like the following:
osql -S(local)myXP -E
or
osql -S(local)myXP -Usa, and supply the password "myPass".

Hello to everyone.
I'm looking for an help :(
I'ved installed MSDE on a Windows 2000 Pro with this option in Setup.ini :
INSTANCENAME=msde
SECURITYMODE=SQL
SAPWD=<mypassword>
All goes good, and at the end of install process, i restart pc.
When restarting, i logged in , and the icon of MSDE was in the System Tray.
Strange thing, is that the circle in the icon have no red square or green arrow inside, but is empty.
I open the window of MSDE and at Server and Service, was 2 empty fields.
I filled on SERVER with the IP address of my pc
Service Field, continue to be blank :(
When i try to start the MSDE, it tells to me that there's no selected service, so the MSDE can't start.
Have someone some ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks to everyone for help!

Hi,
I have a customer with Office 2000 and uses Access 2000. I normally use SQL/7, but for this job would it be save to use MSDE on the web site so the customer can upload and download the MSDE file for product information? I use SQL/7 for the backend. Please advise.

Hi all,I just got SQL Server 2000, but I already have MSDE installed. Is there anyreason I would want to keep MSDE around on my computer if I install SQLServer 2000? I use MS Visual Studio 2002 on Windows XP SP2, in case itmakes any difference. I intend to deinstall MSDE before installing SQLServer 2000, but I get the impression from a few posts that some people haveboth installed and I'm not sure why that would be done. What functionalityis in MSDE that is not in SQL Server 2000?Thanks for answering.--Diana

Hi!
Here's the scenario:
I have a MSDE 2000 installation running, already patched to SP3. Instancename is "STO". I've downloaded SQL2000.MSDE-KB884525-SP4-X86-ENU.exe and extracted the archive to C:SQL2KSP4.
After starting setup from the command prompt with "setup /upgradesp sqlrun DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 /L*V C:MSDELog.log" i get a message box, telling me "The product is not installed". This happens even if I specify the exact instancename and supply the sa user and pwd!

Im trying to import tables, stored procedures and data form another sql
2000 instance on my network to my local. After i go
through the steps, it ends up creating hte tables, but none
of the data is pulled over
I have detached my database from the server and copied the mdf and ldf files to the new PC do I need to do anything but attach it to the MSDE? What about logins, roles, etc... does all this remain the same or do I need to delete the old and reenter them?
Please provide any help, thank you.
Hello,
I have a client that is moving their web ap (which has already been developed) from one host to their own servers. The problem is that they don't have MS SQL Server 2000, but they have MSDE. All the code is already writen to work with SQL SERVER 2000.
I have a couple of questions:
1. Can I safely assume that all this code will work with MSDE and all I have to change is the connection string? For example:
SqlConnection myConn = new SqlConnection(connstring);
In other words, can I still use the SqlClient classes to work with MSDE, or will I have to modify the code?
2. Will it be a problem creating the tables and migrating the data from SQL SERVER to MSDE? Can I use Enterprise Manager to do this?
3. I never had to remotely (or even locally) connect to a MSDE database alone, I always develop with a SQL Server db. Can I use a similar connection string for the MSDE database? Do I have to create a data provider on the local machine? Can you give me an example of a MSDE connection string?
Here is the scoop:
I have MSDE installed on a production machine together with a bunch of ASP.NET applications. I was asked to replace MSDE with SQL Server 2000 and move every application from MSDE to SQL Server 2000 with minimum downtime.
Did any of you go through a similar process?
What is the best way of doing this conversion?
How to move the backups from MSDE to SQL Server?
Is it possible to have MSDE and SQL Server 2000 coexists for a time while moving stuff around and redirecting every connection?
Any hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
