I recently took the plunge into SQL with a CRM installation on the default instance of a SQL Server 2005 (SBS Premium). I am now adding accounting software and prefer that it use SQL 2005 as well instead of Express. My understanding is that I need another instance. Am i correct? How do I create a new instance?
The upgrade was alright for my first/default instance of reporting services but failed for the other 3 non-default instances.
I was running SP1 using remote desktop connection.
I got the following error at the report manager and the reporting services configuration's initialization. Is there any way to get around this?
The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is 'C.0.8.40'. The expected version is 'C.0.8.43'. To continue, update the version of the report server database and verify access rights. (rsInvalidReportServerDatabase)
We are planning to build a cluster environment on MS SQL 2005. We want to install multiple named instances in a single database server and use cluster for that database server.
Is this option possible ? Any relevant documentation would be helpful
When I am in Visual Studio 2005, and I try to add an SQL database, I get the following error "generating user instances in sql server is disabled. use sp_configure user instances enabled to generate user instances." I am currently using SQL server 2005 Express. What do I need to do, to create an SQL database? Thanks in advance.
I had a server with SQL Server 7.0 I installed a named instance of SQL Server 2000 and then i passed all my DB of the 7.0 instance to the 2000 instance. Then i removed the 7.0 instance, that was the default instance. So at the moment there is only the 2000 version, but it isn't the default instance Can the 2000 instance become the default instance? (So that clients can connect to it simply through computer name, and not creating an alias)

Please help,I am trying to install MSDE 2000 so that Backup exec will run on thisserver. I have gotten so far as to find an entry in my SQLSTP.TXT filethat says that c:mssql7 was detected so the install fails.Now, to start with there is no directory called C:mssql7 on thisserver. I have gone through all MS articles on manual removal of SQLserver and instances. I have searched the registry for mssql7 andremoved any keys that matched, as per MS article I have searched onSQLBOOT.dll and it is not present anywhere on my system and I still getthe same results.2:07:44 Begin Action: Detection12:07:44 SQL Server version already installed: 7.00.62312:07:44 Previous Install SQL Path: C:MSSQL712:07:44 Previous Install SQL Data Path: C:MSSQL712:07:44 End Action Detection12:07:44 Begin Action: ODBCLocked12:07:44 End Action ODBCLocked12:07:44 GetDefinition returned: 112:07:44 Previous SQL Server ProductType: MSDE [0x4]12:07:44 This combination of Package and Operating System allows a fullproduct install.can anyone think of anything here..what else could be causing the server to think there is a previousversion of SQL 7 on this box!!!?
I get an error when trying to install the SQL Native Client. It says it cannot find the installation package and to use a valid copy of 'sqlncli.msi'. I've downloaded the Express setup twice and get the same error from both of them.
I'm attempting this in a VMWare session setup for Windows 2K, Advanced Server. I am trying to test my installation and setup procedures. This is not a production setup, just install testing and documentation. I have allocated only 272MB to the VMWare session, which is why the system doesn't meet the recommended settings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i have sql server 2005 express running. during install, i had issues with a system dll that i found answers online and resolved. i am still very green, but i know much more now than i did at the time. i believe that as a result of the partial then failed installs i have multiple instances either fully or partially installed. when i am in the sql server mgmt express environment, it lists two sql engines. i only ever use one, and would like to safely remove the second without damaging or corrupting anything done with the other instance. my reasons for wanting to do this are twofold. first, i would like to free up the drive space taken up by the second instance. (i am a stickler for clean harddrive mgmt and maintenance). second, now that i have used the software and am somewhat more familiar with it, i would consider installing a second, intentional instance so that i may attempt to better customize some of the install-time settings and configurations. can anybody give me any pointers/ guide me in the direction of information on how to SAFELY go about this? thank you in advance for any help.
I created a second SQL2000 instance on a Windows 2000 server. The strange thing is that I can create an ODBC connection to the default instance but cannot for the new named instance. If I try from a client that has SQL installed on it, I can see both instances. Any idea why this is happening?
We have a vendor product that can only handle up to 18 characters for the server name and the instance name (we did not know this when we created the named instance) and of course our combined name is 19 characters, so it trys to pass the 18 charater name and then fails with the following error:
[LOG] Unable to read local eventlog (reason: The data area passed to a system call is too small)
So, can i rename the instance, or do i have to create a new named instance?
with sql server 2000, it is possible to have multiple instances on one server. Now I want to make the second server a subscriber for specific tables before there are some tests/major changes. Has anyone experience with this on the same server. Note : sql server subscriptions between different servers in sql server 7 is not the issue.
I created a named instance of SQL Server 2000 on my notebook. I inadvertantly set the trusted SQL connection to Windows Authentication. This is creating a problem with COM because of username and password. I want to reset it to use SQL Server authentication but I can't find where to do it. Can I do this or do I have to delete this instance and create a new one.
We're trying to decide if we should use a single large instance of SQL Server or multiple instances on the same server. This is for a dev environment.Have to limit max RAM per instance so no instance grabs it all.There will be I/O contention and CPU contention between instances since the different instances won't coordinate with each other.It limits the available RAM for In-Memory tables..It sets lower limits to the amount of RAM available for any given query, causing artificial "contention" even when there's nothing else running at the time.
My issue is that: here have two datamirror servers, and when the first fail, mirror needs to assume with the same name.
I'll try explain: SD01 - Primary, SD02 - mirror. If SD01 fails, SD02 assumes called SD01. By the way, the instances are in same domain, but not in same computer.
Hello,How to determine, which ports do MS SQL Server instances listen to?I want to conect to sql server using PHP and I need to know exact portnumber. I suspect that my SQL (msde) server instances don't listen ondefault 1433 :]--Stefan
Dear SQL Guru,I just found out this morning that my SQL Server box had been added 1more instance. Below is the example:PPAPP0075FINANCE (Old instance)PPAPP0075ACCOUNTING (Old instance)PPAPP0075Accounting (new instance)This is a case sensitive MS Sql server (third party vendor App). TheACCOUNTING instance is the one we have been using for our currentapplications. I found out the new one(Accounting) when I scan thenetwork by using OSQL -L utility. However, when NT engineers tried toverify the physical files location ofAccounting, and it did not exist. When I tried to register it and itdoes not appear from Enterprise Manager.Please keep in mind NT Engineers have been monkey around on this serverquite a lot in last a few weeks, especially modifying Registry keys.My question is, where did PPAPP0075Acounting come from? We never evertried to install any more instance on this server.Please help,Thanks,Silaphet,
