SQL Developer Edition - For Learning At Home?
Dec 19, 2007
I wish to start learning about SQL server 2005. Right now I am out of work and wish to build my database skills and get a certification on SQL server 2005. I used SQL 2000 at my last work at an entry level, so I have some experience. I want to get some books and if possible and SQL 2005 on my home computer to learn on. Would SQL server 2005 developer edition be the one I want for learning? I know some books come with a trial software but they only last 180 days, I don't want to feel pressured in trying to learn that quickely since I do have a 1 year old to take care of.I did notice that it was only $50 dollars, which is a plus since I need to watch the money. Does this editoin give me query analyzer and the SQL server enterprise manager? I do have some school background but that was back in 2003 in VB6, Oracle, Java, javascript, HTML.

Hi
I am interested in taking MCTS exam 70-431 for sql server 2005 implementation and maintainance.
I have been reading the hardware requirements for the instalation of sql server versions and realise that enterprise and developer editions have same minimum requirements for the operation system.
I understand that the Developer Edition includes all the functionality of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition, but it is licensed for use as a development and test system, not as a production server.
Also I undestand that the developer edition supports the Windows XP Home Edition with SP2 or later but the enterprise edition does not support this operating system. The evaluation/trial version is for the enterprise edition. Can I use the developer version of sql server 2005 for my practice exercises instead of using the trial version?
I have all hardware requirements for the trial enterprise version except that I am using Microsoft windows Xp home edition version 2002 with SP2. I am trying to see if I can use the developer version of sql server 2005 as it is cheaper for me to buy this software than buying the new operating system for my computer.
According to the microsoft book for the MCTS exam 70-431 there is a section which states that before you begin you should have Microsoft Windows Server 2003 running on your computer on an NTFS file system
(NTFS) partition. Will I still be ok to use the book and be able to do all the tests in the book if i am using the developer version of sql server 2005 with my Microsoft windows Xp home edition than using the trial version which comes with the book?
Thanks

I could not install SQL Server 2005 Developer edition on my notebook with os Vista Home Premium. I know about the SP2 thing...but before coming that point, I can not either install the SQL Server 2005...
When installing,when the database services point comes it gives an error about user thing...and then installation starts to rollback...
I check the IIS configuration from the net...And see that while activating IIS there is no option for Windows Auth. in Home Premium in Control Panel>Program...>Windows Programs.....etc....
SO ON VISTA HOME PREMIUM is SQL SERVER 2005 Dev. Edition can be installed or not?

Hi,
I have Vista Home premium edition and trying to install SQL Server developer edition 2005 as local administrator. I have already enabled IIS 7 and have Office Ultimate 2007 installed. When I run the set up program, I get a warning titled "Program Compatibility Assistant" that my Operating system may not be compatible with the version of sql server I am installing. It says after setup is complete, I should run SP2 of SQL Server 2005 with 3 buttons as "Check for solutions online", "run this program" and "cancel"...
My question, should I select "run this program" and after the setup completes, download SP2 and apply the patch?
I read some articles in forums that sounds like lot of issues to get sql server working on vista. Can some one direct me to correct options. This is my wife's machine so I dont want to experiment too much and blow her machine away. Please help.
Thanks,
Gaja

Hi, all -
I'm trying to register a developer's 2000 pc from my 2005 pc.
i'm not sure this is even something possible from Dev Edition to Dev Edition- I can register a 2000 server just fine.
I can ping him. Both our systems have remote access 'on'. His server is (local), i've tried connecting to it by just entering his machine name and by using just the ip address. The error I get is "timeout expired. The timeout elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding."
Am I just not registering this properly? I entered just the ip address in the 'server' box. I am connecting as sa with the pw he gave me. When i connect to my server, I use the ip addressinstance. However, I am not sure what to use for the instance when all I see when I look at his machine is (local).
I haven't needed to do this before.
Suggestions?

Hi, I'm having a problem installing SQL2005 Developer on Windows Vista.
At the System Configuration check page, I'm getting the IIS Feature Requirement item telling me IIS is not installed or disabled. This is not the case.
I have read article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/920201 and switched on the IIS components as specified.
I've tried installing with Firewall, virus checker etc switched off. Every time I get the same problem. This is an issue, as I specifically need Reporting Services installed.
Has anyone managed to solve this problem ?

During the install, I receive this message:
"Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is either not installed or is disabled. IIS is required by some SQL Server features. Without IIS, some SQL Server features will not be available for installation. To install all SQL Server features, install IIS from Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel or enable the IIS service through the Control Panel if it is already installed, and then run SQL Server Setup again. For a list of features that depend on IIS, see Features Supported by Editions of SQL Server in Books Online."
So, I went to the following and did everything documented about installing IIS 7.0.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa964620.aspx
After installing IIS and verifying that it is serving pages just fine, when I try to install again, I still get the quoted error message above.
I am beginning to think that I cannot install SQL Server Developer on Vista Home Premium.
Does anyone know?
Thanks

I am attempting to use the SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition (Management Studio) to create/manage a Compact Edition 3.5 database. My problem is that I cannot even create/open the compact database in Management Studio. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. TIA

Choose SQL Server Compact Edition as the Server type.
Choose <New Database...> as the Database file.
Browse to folder where file will be created (C:MyDatabase#1.sdf was used in my example)
Leave all other field as default selections OR make changes, either way it does not work.
Click OK.

I have just migrated a complete SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 development server from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 Server. Â I just realized that I should not have used the Data center edition Product Key as this is Development server. Â I am being asked to downgrade to Developer edition. Â I have already migrated all the logins, databases(40 databases), cubes etc. Â I really can't uninstall and reinstall Developer edition. Â How else can I upgrade/downgrade to switch from Datacenter edition to Developer edition. Â

As an ISV, I want to certify my product on Standard Edition. I am using Developer Edition everywhere. Is there a way I can do the certification using the Developer Edition, or do I need to obtain/purchase a copy of the Standard Edition?

We have an existing installation of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (64bit) that we are ready to go live with and would like to change the edition to Enterprise Edition (64bit). We have purchased all the appropriate licenses. We would like to avoid UN-installing the Developer Edition and RE-installing the Enterprise Edition. There must be some way to change a registry key, provide your serial number via a command line utility or re-run the setup with the license key provided and direct it to just change the edition from Developer to Enterprise and not change any of the other settings like service account, sa account, collation, etc. Any help is most appreciated.
Thank you,
Matt

We have a performance problem with a SQL statement (never completes) on one of our customer€™s sites. They are running SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition with SP2. The server is dual core with 3GB or RAM.
We requested a backup of the database and restored it to a SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition Server with SP2. The server has a single CPU with 2GB or RAM. However the exact same SQL (cut and paste) executes in approx 35 seconds.
We restored the backup of the customers database SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition with SP2. The server is dual core with 2GB or RAM. However as on eth customer site the SQL never completes.
So our question is why is this happening and is there a solution?
Our understanding is that the SQL Server 2005 engine is the same but Developer Edition (aka Enterprise Edition) has additional options.

I tried to download PerformancePoint Server Trial Version to ther server today and I got to the configuration point of the Analysis Services Setting, and when I clicked next to proceed with the configuration I got a popup error message:
"Microsoft Analysis Server must be Evaluation, Developer or Enterprise Edition".
Now I have SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition Disc (Bought it with Visual Studio 2005) but on the server I have SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition, if I try to run the sql server developer Edition disc, I use the wizard download and it seems that the download is going through the SQL Server entire download, it's like I'm re-downloading SQL Server all over again.
Does that seem right?
what is the best approach to work around this probelm?
I appreciate any help

Trying to replicate,
from: Win 2K Server, SQL Std Edition 8.00.818 SP3
to: Win XP Pro, SQL Developer Edition 8.00.2039 SP4
XP has Firewall 'Off', and I added sqlservr.exe and port 1433 to the exceptions list.
Subscription on Win 2K Server gets error that it cannot connect to the subscriber system: SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
Ping from the Win2K to the WinXP box works fine.
The WinXP SQL login works when I connect from my desktop to the XP box using both SQL Ent Mgr and Query Analyzer.
Any ideas?

Hi All,
Do I need to remove Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (Standard) from the Add or Remove program to replace it with Developer Edition?
I also wondering if I would need to backup my data and log files first, would they be deleted during the process?
Thanks.

I am new to servers and when I try to learn about them I get confused, because the information does not list a server in XP, but they keep it separate from Microsoft SQL Server, like XP has it's own server. Can someone help clarify for me what the versions of SQL servers are?
SQL 2000 1.0, SQL 2002, SQL 2003........?

I'm trying (and failing) to get a definitive answer from various MS web sites as to whether or not SQL Server Developer Edition will run on Windows Vista Home (Premium)
I've just taken delivery of a shiny new laptop preinstalled with the above, and was looking for some reassurance before shelling out for the software (granted, it's not a lot of money, but even so...)

My Problems & Situation:Hi! I am a ASP.NET starter. My platform is WinXP Home Edition and I haven't installed any version of SQL server before.I download different version of MSDE and extracted in my C drive separately, including: 1. Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000) Release A 2. Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3a (contained MSDE 2000) 3. MSDE 2000 for Developers Using Visual Studio .NETsince all of the above versions have the same problem when I try to install it.
The problem is that when I double click each of the setup.exe, it will show a pop up error:[A strong SA password is requires for security reasons. Please use SAPWD switch to supply the same. Refer to readme for more details. Setup will now exit.]
Then I found a solution from Microsoft, it told me that: 1. Run the setup in the command prompt 2. Locate in the extracted path 3. type --> "Setup.exe /qb+ INSTANCENAME=NetSDK DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=1 SAPWD=<pwd>"
p.s. I have changed the <pwd> to 123abc
However....another Error Occur:1st pop up --> [Unable to determine system default collation.]2nd pop up --> [Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine Setup failed.]
My Question:1. Why the error still occour when I type that command to setup? (Solution from Microsoft)2. How can I fix it and complete the installation?3. How many users(maximum) can be created in a MSDE database?
Greateful if anyone can give me hand.

Hi,
I am trying to install SQL Express on Window Home XP and SCC is returning the following error:
The SQL Server Configuration Checker cannot b execute due to WMI configuration on the machine ..... Error 2147942405 (0X80070005).
I tried running the following batch file which I believe resolved the same issue that someone else raised earlier (though I am not sure whether the OS was Home XP)
Will upgrading from XP Home to XP Professional (academic version) help me install SQL express successfully>
The Batch file I ran looks like this:
FIXWMI.CMD
------------------------
@echo on
cd /d c: emp
if not exist %windir%system32wbem goto TryInstall
cd /d %windir%system32wbem
net stop winmgmt
winmgmt /kill
if exist Rep_bak rd Rep_bak /s /q
rename Repository Rep_bak
for %%i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %%i
for %%i in (*.exe) do call :FixSrv %%i
for %%i in (*.mof,*.mfl) do Mofcomp %%i
net start winmgmt
goto End
:FixSrv
if /I (%1) == (wbemcntl.exe) goto SkipSrv
if /I (%1) == (wbemtest.exe) goto SkipSrv
if /I (%1) == (mofcomp.exe) goto SkipSrv
%1 /RegServer
:SkipSrv
goto End
:TryInstall
if not exist wmicore.exe goto End
wmicore /s

I wanted to install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, instead of installing .Net Framework 2.0, I installed .Net Framework 3.5. When I tried to install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition I received the following error:
SQL_ERROR (-1) in OdbcStatement::execute_batch
sqlstate=42000, level=16, state=2, native_error=7404, msg=[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]The server could not load DCOM.
Error Code: 0x80071cec (7404)
Windows Error Text: Source File Name: libodbc_statement.h
Compiler Timestamp: Wed Jun 14 16:28:15 2006
Function Name: OdbcStatement::execute_batch@sysdbupg.sql@56
Source Line Number: 91
I then decided maybe I do need .net framework 2.0, but when I try to install it it says it's already included with the OS.
But the "Programs and Featuers" only list .Net Framework 1.1 and .Net Framework 1,1 Hotfix (KB92979).
I uninstalled .Net Framework 3.5 and tried to install .Net Framework 2.0 again, but it still says it's included in the OS.
After uninstalling .Net Framework 3.5, I tried to install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, but still received the above error message.
Is .Net Framework 2.0 included with Windows Vista Home Edition?
If it is, any ideas in solving the Server 2005 Express Edition installation error?
Thanks in advance for your help!
