HI there, probably an old common question. Installing the Advanced SQL Express version for use at work. Does it require a licence or licences or is free? Any answer much appreciated. Thanks Rick
View 1 RepliesHi. I'm trying to get full-text search working on my SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services and am having problems. I thought that I installed it correctly, and when I look in the services running, I see it SQL Server Fulltext Search(MSSQLSERVER). Also note that I have SQL Server 2005 Standard installed on this same laptop. I don't know if that Full text Search applies to the Standard, Express or both.
What I do see is that if I connect to the database engine named <mylaptop>, I can see the version is 9.0.1399 and I can see the check box to enable full-text indexing in a particular databases properties. When I run SELECT FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('IsFullTextInstalled'), I get a 1.
However, when I connect to the engine name <mylaptop>SQLExpress, I se the version is 9.0.3042, and I don't see the same check-box to enable full-text indexing. When I run SELECT FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('IsFullTextInstalled'), I get a 0.
I've never tried this before so I know I'm probably missing something basic. But, I have searched quite a bit and not found my answer. So, I'm looking to you for help.
Thanks in advance.
John.
Can someone tell me the difference between Express and Advanced Series Express --- are there different limitations? Why would I use one over the other -- thanks!
View 7 Replies View RelatedHi There,
I know this might be slighty off topic, but (apart from the CPU, RAM & DB size limits) does anyone know if Express SQL server has any performance / concurrent connection restrictions when compared to SQL 2005 Standard?
Many thanks

Hi,
I would like exploring Reporting Services associated with SQL Express Edition so i tried installing "SQLEXPR_ADV_.EXE" the package available on download SQL site, but after having selected Reporting Services option I've got an error explaining that component "sqlserver2005_bc.msi" is to be changed.
As this component is part of "SQLEXPR_ADV_.EXE" package is there anybody knowing an alternative solution ?
Hello,
I am reading the SQL Express home page and kinda getting confused.
If I wanted to host my wevsite on SQL what version would suit me?
Also I see the toolkit offered with Advanced but it looks as if it is already included in the advanced dowload?
I am just ot sure what to download.
Any advice would be great!
Thanks

I'm having trouble installing SQLEXPR_ADV. It says it's not a valid win32 app.
System:
Dell Precision 380
3.00ghz
2gb RAM
Windows XP Pro SP2
I am wondering an official answer on if Sql Express supports users creating their own reports and if it supports Integration Services or Analysis Services.
What is the Difference between the SQL Server Express Bundled with C#/VB VS the downloadable SQL Server Express SP1 with advanced Services?
I installed C# with SQL Server Express, however I wanted to add the Full Text Searching and the SQL Server Management Studio Express, so I downloaded and installed the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP1. When I installed it over top of my current installation, it complained of version mismatching, and then C# failed to recognize that I had SQL 2005 Express installed at all.
What I'd like to know is, which version is more current (they have to be different, they had different version numbers, one was 9.xx.xxxx the other was 2005.9.xx.xxxx) The one bundled with C#, or the SP1 downloadable one.
Firstly, I want to be up todate as far as security patches, and Secondly, how do I add the full text searching and SSMSE to the one bundled with C# without breaking it.
Hi, I currently have SQL Server 2005 Express installed, but I want to be able to implement a full-text search, and for that I need to install the advanced version. Is there a way of just installing the advanced features on top of my current installation? I've tried uninstalling but I've had no end of problems and it's driving me mad! Thanksmander

Had intial release installed; deleted it and associated software, and downloaded advanced, sp1 and mgmt. studio sp1.
Go to install and get just warnings(2-IIS and hardware);install goes on
then fails; look at log and it says my system doesn't meet minimum
hardware requirements.
Look at hardware requirements on readme and at MS and my system DOES
meet 'minumum reuquirements'; he only thing close is the 512 mb minimum
memory which is what my system has, 512mb memory.
1.7 P4, 30 gig of hard drive space,.net2.0,win2k with SP4,etc..
Anyone know what a workaround is or is this a 'bug'?
I'm trying to install SQL Express Advanced Services from the commandline, but cannot get Management tools to install.
Does anyone know the correct commandline to get this to work?

I just downloaded SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE (256 MB) and tried installing it twice. I want to get the full-text indexing capability, and I understand that I need the Advanced Edition of SQL Server 2005 Express to get this capability. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but the full-text indexing capability doesn't seem to be getting installed, even though I chose it as one of the options to install. When I try to run the following query, it tells me that the full-text indexing is not installed:
<CODE>
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX ui_Products ON Products(ProductID);
CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG ft AS DEFAULT;
CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX ON Products(CatalogText) KEY INDEX ui_Products;
GO
</CODE>
I thought the problem might be related to which instance I chose, so that's why I tried it two different times. What am I doing wrong? How do I get this capability installed?
I'm writing an application that uses Sql Express 2005 with Advanced Services (for fulltext indexing) and will be needing to deploy the database server. I just realized that the install is 230+MB. Is there a way to trim this down to just the components/features I need?
Thanks,
Eric
I have a vs2005 deployment project and have set prerequisites to include sql express. This is not what I need however since I need the advanced version with full text search.
How can I make sure that the advanced version of sql express is installed when my app is installed?
Is there any way to include the setup bits for adv. sql express in my install so the user doesn't have to connect to the internet? I know this is probably doable, just wonder if there are any specific docs or examples?
I have SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE and know the options for quiet install, but how to integrate into my install project?
I have an existing instance of SQL 2005 SP1 Advanced Express. I would like to upgrade this to SP2; however I cannot find the appropriate download.
I can find SP2 for SQL 2005 Standard, Enterprise, etc, as well as a FULL install of SQL 2005 SP2 Advanced Express, but not an upgrade from SP1 to SP2 for Adv. Express.
Any thoughts? I'd prefer not to reinstall to get SP2. :(
Hi
I've recently upgraded from MSDE (SBS 2003 SP1 with .NET 2.0) to SQL Express SP1.
I am trying to enable full text sarching on the Sharepoint instance but whenever I go to Sharepoint central administaton and text sarching it reports that the SQL server installed does not suport this.
I can't find any documentation on this anywhere.
Admidatley the machine is a domain controller and I know this isn't recommended but surely this shouldn't stop this from working?
All components where selected when installing SQLExpress and I recieved no errors.
Any sugestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many kind thanks

Why did Microsoft release a replacement for MSDE called SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Options without the SQL Agent? I bought into the MSDE and got rid of the other databases we supported now we have to go a create an equivilent to the SQL Agent for a) scheduled jobs b) backup automation. c) etc.
Does anybody really want a database that does not have these built in? I understand I can do these myself but this seems to defy logic to me?
thanks,

Hi Guys,
Need some advice on the free SQL Express with Advanced Services provided.
I plan to develop a small departmental multi-user applications with 5 to 6 simultaneous users using the free SQL Express with Advanced Services with VB.net and stored procedures on a local area network.
Is it a good choice to use this free SQL Express with Advanced Services or is it more advisable to purchase a standard version ?
Appreciate if someone could help me to address this issue?
One more thing, can i install the free SQL Express with Advanced Services on a normal desktop with Windows XP SP 2 and utilize it as a server or do i need a proper server with Windows 2003?
Thanks and Regards,

Have been trying to use an 'iif' statement as a simple expression within a computed column. I cannot get the server to accept the statement. Every variation of commas quotes, spaces within the iif statement produces the same result. The statement is very simple : iif(Mileage>0, Mileage*.40, 0). The column is of data type 'money' and mileage is a numeric field (within the same table of course)
I'm in the process of adding data tables into a new database, using Management studio express.
Could someone please give me a valid example. I have worked with Access Databases for a number of years and am rapidly losing what is left of my hair on this annoying little problem.
I'm using sql server express 2005 with the advanced features.
Thanks in advance

I'm planning to transport a desktop application to the web. A spin-off ofthis application has already been put on the web by another programmer. Heused ColdFusion with MS SQL, Access, VC, and Java. It is faster than thedesktop application (written in VFP).1. Can I get the same results using MS SQL Express Advanced and Access forthe internet version if used with .net?2. Are the select statements limited in power, accuracy, size, etc. for MSSQL Express Advanced when compared to SQL?3. If Access will perform poorly, can VFP be used instead with .net? Ialready know it can't be used with ColdFusion. 4. If MS Express Advancedwill not sufficiently replace SQL, will MySQL do the job better?Thanks

Hi I have installed Sql 2005 Express with Advanced Services Edition.
I can't find the server dashboard that comes with the full Sql 2005 version.
That gives you information like top 10 queries etc.
Should I have installed the Toolkit version instead or have I missed off features on this install or does it not come with Server dashboard.
thanks for any advice

Hello All,
Does anybody have the experience of migrating from SQL 2005 Express to the new adition with Advanced Services? Do I install the upgrade on top of the previos edition or have to go thru uninstall.
Thanks.

I work for an ISV, and some of our customers use SQL Server, others use SQL Server Express. I need to develop some reports, so I was happy to read that SQL Express with Advanced Services would have some (limited?) Reporting Services available. Unfortunately, the sign-up period to beta test appears to be over, and so I am left wondering exactly what functions will be available. Is there anyone out there who has played around with the beta version reporting functions?

Upgraded SQL Server Express to Advanced and I started getting a user instance error. I followed the advice on some posts (most notably: http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/). I deleted the User Template Data as the instructions say but now get the error below when trying to run my application.
I've tried setting User Instance = False with no luck. Also noticed after rebooting that the Template Data file was recreated but the folder is empty. Have tried re-installing the update but it says there's nothing to update! Has anyone else had this problem? Any fixes? Any help will be greatly appreciated...
Many thanx,

Folks, Today I saw that an upgraded(?) version of SQL Server express was available. Since it is supposed to have the ability to generate a script to put a database on a hosted server I decided to get it. Bad decision. I uninstalled my previous version of SSE. and attempted to install the SP2 version with Advanced Services. After three installs I finally got the server to start. Now I can not log onto it using Management Studio Express. I know the server is running because I can see it in the task manager and I can open one database used with an ASP.NET web site through Visual Studio. Can you provide any suggestions on how to find my server or server instances through Management Studio? Do I need to remove all sql server related items and do a complete reinstall? I can see the server in the Configuration Manager and in the Surface configuration manager. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I have spent way too much time on this.Thanks
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using the Full text functionality of SQL 2005 Express Advanced and it works well.
However, the first time a query is run it take 20 seconds or so to actually return the search results. Thereafter, the search results are almost immediate.
That would be fine, except that if no further search is performed for approx 15 minutes or so, then we are back to the first scenario where it takes 20 seconds to return the results.
I assume this means that the full text catalog is not being held in cache at the server? Is there anyway to force it to do this?
My first thoughts were that Full Text within 2005 was an excellent tool, but if the first search always takes a long time then I will have to re-think as I can be sure that customers will get extremely annoyed at the response.
Do you know if there is any way around this or if there are any fixes imminent for this problem.....indeed, is it a problem or am I missing a fundamental setup issue?
What would be the implications if I created a small console application to perform a full text search once every minute at the server to keep the index cached?
many thanks
