I am looking for a definitive answer to how to test if SQL2005 is installed.
I am currently checking to see if the exe exists in the MSSQ.1 folder but this fails if this instance is unintalled. Does anyone know a fullproof way of checking programically if sql2005 is installed and also where the default location of the setup exe would be located if I need to install another instance of the server. I need this in vb.net

Hey all...
I was using SQL2000, and liked very much the EM tool etc....
But thought that I should maybe give SQL2005 a trial, so I installed same on my box...restarted...and hey, SQL isn't running.
At least there is no icon in the tray. I have checked under Services and it looks like it's up and running....but I have NO server at all?
What did I do wrong, or what do I need to do to "start" SQL2005?

My SQL2000 databases did not upgrade to SQL2005. When I look at the Properties>>Options>>Compatibility Level the only options I have is version 7 and version 8... version 9 - which is SQL2005, is not there.
So what did I do? During the upgrade process - the installation wizard - I made a couple of choices that I believe might have lead to my current condition. The first thing is that I chose to select a installed instance. The second choice I made was to use a domain user account for the Authentication. The second selection I believe had nothing to do with the condition, but I did notice that my Systems Admin user account for SQL is no longer availble... which is a problem because now when I log into the SQL Management Console... it's using the domain name to authenticate rather than using the SA name like it was in SQL2000.
So here is what I think the solution is... I need to create a new Server Registration and create the databases in the new instance and then restore the data from SQL2000 to SQL2005 new instance, and then I can change the Compatibility Level to version 9.
The only issue I still don't have an answer for is the authentication into SQL. I want to not use the domain user account... how can I change this or can I? This also creates an issue when creating the ODBC connection as it wants to use the domain user account to verify.
So if someone can let me know if this is the right direction? Also any suggestions... i would greatly appreciate it!

Is sql2005 backwards compatible to provide reports for FRX? sql2000 is what the software docs ask for. Do I have to migrate and transform the data as a work around? What are the options if any?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi 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.

I just upgraded my SQL 2000 server to SQL2005. I forked out all that money, and now it takes 4~5 seconds for a webpage to load. You can see for yourself. It's pathetic. When I ran SQL2000, i was getting instant results on any webpage. I can't find any tool to optimize the tables or databases. And when I used caused SQL Server to use 100% cpu and 500+MB of ram. I can't have this.Can anyone give me some tips as to why SQL 2005 is so slow?

I am unable to install 32-bit SQL Server Integration Services on the server due to something that was left behind by the 64-bit version.
I've uninstalled SQL Server 2005 64-bit and when I try to install the 32-bit version of Integration Services, I get this error: "Failed to install and configure assemblies C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90DTSTasksMicrosoft.SqlServer.MSMQTask.dll in the COM+ catalog. Error: -2146233087 Error message: Unknown error 0x80131501 Error descrition: FATAL: Could not find component 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Task.MessageQueueTask.ServCompMQTask' we just installed."
I can't seem to figure out how to resolve this problem with the COM+ and I can't remember if Integration Services is required.
Can anybody please advise?
Hello,
I have a vb program that include a dts package that has been saved to vb with sql2000 dts wizard and works very good.
Now that I upgrade my website to sql2005, this vb dts package doesn't work.
The error I get is:
Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package
Invalid STDGMEDIUM structure
(Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package (80040066): Invalid STDGMEDIUM structure
) (Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000) (80004005): [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near ')'.)
I searched in the internet how to make dts package in sql2005 and save it to vb and found no information about it.
What Can I do to get the vb code of the dts package I create in sql2005 or how do i migrage the sql2000 vb dts package code to sql2005?
Thanks,
Kubyustus
I have some production boxes on Win 2000 32-bits OS and some production servers have been upgraded to Win2003 64-bit OS runing SQL Server 2005. There are also a number of Win2003 32-bit OS running SQL 2005.
The issue is that when linking the 64-bit production servers to the 32-bit boxes running SQL 2005 / Win 2003 OS, the linking seems to succeed, but I am unable to see a number of entries in sys.objects. Typically, these objects are User Stored Procedures.
Moreover, the linking seemed to have worked, but data extraction does not take place between the servers. However, there are no errors. The objects (user stored procs) exist on the 64-bit side, but linking does not actually happen.
Microsoft KB has addressed this in SQL 2000 case in this KB article, but has not suggested a solution for SQL 2005.
Any ideas? Has anyone else encountered this?
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

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
