We are in the process of replacing a computer that currently has SQL 2005 Management Studio Express installed. We are looking at a Intel Core 2 Quad processor (Q6700) and want to know if SQL will be able to make full use of a quad core. Thanks
We are in process of moving to 64 bit HP servers with sql2005 standard edition. We were just wondering which is better option, to get a server with 2 dual core processor or to get a srver with just 4 processor? How does SQL2005 handle the hypertheading of dual processor?
ok i have intel dual core i have a conflict only in playing a game black hawk down it gives me a run stop error. locks up and has to be restarted. microsoft gave me a fix but when i do the fix it causes me to get a system dump error on the game. i can update my web site do anything else let daughter play her games or do her school work and nothing happens. i was told i needed to set up the dual core so that my programs dont conflict i am a moron when it comes to computers is there a fix for this or i am i just going to have to go back to single core processor for now thanks
I am looking at running SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition in a clustered environment (2 nodes) and am not sure if the 4 processor limit applies to the number of processors per node or the number of processors it will run on in the entire cluster. Could someone please clarify this for me?
Hi -I have istalled sql server 2005 standard edition , I want to install sql server 2005 enterprise edition on the same machine. Is it possible? I have Microsoft windows server 2003 SP2 and 1GB RAM. I want to use partition function with the enterprise edition, will the trial version of sql server work for me? -If I have already created a database and tables using the standard edition, will I be able to access and use the database using the installed trial version or will I have to start a fresh creating a new database? - Is it possible to access the same database with any of the installed versions?
BTW, I am prety new to sql server and databases , I am trying to learn by myself
The number of data files within a single filegroup should equal to the number of CPU cores. So for a quad core CPU there should be 4 data files. Is there anything that one need to take care besides creating the data files for a filegroup. I belieev SQL takes care of itself how to update data files .
When Standard Edition says it supports 4 processors, is this just the physical processor or do we have to factor in multiple cores?
If SE supports 4 physical quad-core processors, is it written to optimally utilize the quad-core technology or would I be better off using Enterprise Edition?
With two 64 bit quad core processors on the server, we have 8 processor cores. Does this mean that we'll need Windows Server 2003 x64 Enterprise edition because Standard only supports up to 4-way SMP?
I am attempting to install SQL Server 2005 on a Laptop with Windows 2003 Standard Edition.
The installation fails and the File Summary.txt has the following entries:

I am running MSSQL 2005 Standard edition on a two processor Intel Xeon 3GHz (dual-core) with 8GB RAM.
I notice in "Windows task manager CPU performance" while running a long SQL statement (takes 1.5 hours), only 1 logical (out of 4) is utilised at >70%. The remaining 3 logical processors hover around 10%
Using Performance monitor, the average read queue, write queue, and pages/sec also hovers around 25%, indicating no heavy physical disk/memory loading.
How can I set to utilise more physical/logical processor to improve the MSSQL performance ?
Hi,Is there a reason why we have to pay more for licensing for a differentkind of processor?Why are we not charged for the Hyperthreading on some processors also.If Oracle is really conserned about the low end business market (smalland medium), then they should drop their attitude on Dual Coreprocessors.If they start charging as if it was a normal processor, and ask thenormal price, then they would get more of this market coming in.As long as Oracle keeps on having the attitude of charging more,because Intel or some other cpu vendor decided to mprove theirprocessors because of overheating problems, I will have the attitudethat I will keep on reoccomending alternatives for Orcle like Mysql /Postgre sql / Sybase, etc to the small/medium sector.Microsoft's pricing model on double core processors suddenly soundallot better.Oracle are shooting themselves in the foot! Or am I the only personfeeling this way?Shaun O'Reilly
I need to install SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition on a new Windows Server 2003 machine that has SQL Server 2005 Express Edition installed by a backup application (Backup Exec). Will I need to uninstall the express edition in order to install the standard edition? Can the two coexist as separate instances or will the standard edition installation simply upgrade the express installation?
We are in the process of installing SQL 2005 Standard Edition on Servers with two Intel Xeon 2.6Ghz processors. We want to buy a processor licence for each server rather than CAL's, but do we have to buy two processor licences or is it possible to configure SQL 2005 to only use one processor on a dual processor server and thus only need to buy a single processor licence.
I am running SQL7 SP2 on a Compaq Proliant 5500 (NT4 Server SP6a) with dual processor. When trying to schedule any jobs with DTSRUN I get the following error:
DTSRun.exe - Application Error The instruction at "0x77f64d7b" referenced memory at "0x00000010". The memory could not be read.
I currently have a single proc server in production and want to maintain a spare server that is dual-proc.
Is there a technical problem installing a single license SQL 2000 Standard on a dual-proc server? WIll it allow it or is it actually just a legal licensing requirement?
When i install sql server 2000 i have a message " Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition Server Component is not supported on this operating system only client components will be available for installation"
Hence I cannot install properly. I installed only the client componets. Thereafter when I went through Enterprise Manager and tried to establish a connection, I failed. It said server does not exist.
What to do now?
I found out that if one has sql server 2000 standard editon the prerequisties are Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 with Service Pack 5 or later, Windows NT Server 4.0 Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 5 or later, Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, or Windows 2000 Datacenter Server.
I have windows xp professional version on which i am installing sql server standard edition. Which of the above exists in my OS. Or which should I download.
Almost as soon as I start to install SQL 2005 on my Windows XP Pro Version 2002 Service Pack 2 machine at work it pops up a dialog with one of the following 2 error messages (they alternate randomly):
The SQL Server System Configuration Checker cannot be executed due to WMI configuration on the machine PCF092191 Error:2147500034 (0x80004002).
The SQL Server System Configuration Checker cannot be executed due to WMI configuration on the machine PCF092191 Error:2147749907 (0x80041013).
After clicking OK the installation just closes.
I also discovered when I load wmimgmt.msc and click Properties on the WMI Control, I get the following errors on the General tab, AND it does not allow me to click on any other tabs:
Failed to initialize all required WMI classes. Win32_Processor: <Null>: No such interface supported Win32_WMISetting: Successful Security information: Successful Win32_OperatingSystem: <Null>: No such interface supported
I have been searching online for days and tried doing virtually everything I found that I could understand and nothing works. Reinstalling WMI off the XP CD doesn't work, rebuilding the WMI repository doesn't work, registering all the WMI DLLs and MOF files doesn't work, running all the various scripts to fix WMI that are posted all over online doesn't work.
I downloaded the Microsoft WMI Diagnostics tool and ran it. It printed a ton of errors in a 466-line report that I can't make head or tail of. 6 here, 33 there, 27 over there...almost too many to count. The suggestions it gives to fix them range from vague and incomplete to incomprehensible. I'll paste those error results into a followup post.
I installed the WMI Tools package and can't figure out what to do with any of the tools at all. The only thing I noticed is that when examining a section under Win32_Processor, most entries for various properties are marked <empty>, while I have seen people discussing what I think are those same properties online and talking about seeing stuff typed into theirs (such as the HostingModel having LocalServiceHost typed in and ImpersonationLevel having 1 typed in). But there are so many properties and I'm not sure what should be typed into all of them or if I'm even looking in the right place.
I've seen some suggestions in WMI documentation that not all WMI errors may be related to WMI itself at all, which I think might be the case here, but I don't know. Some material said DCOM may be the problem, but I didn't have much luck figuring out how to fix that either. From the WMI Diagnostics it looks like there may be multiple errors of different kinds, but if it's that bad, I don't know how my computer's been working at all.
I've been using this computer for 9 months and had no major problems with it, although I did have a problem installing Microsoft Windows Genuine Advantage Notification, for which Microsoft sent me a script that fixed it. One other person here at work is suffering from this same WMI error, but most people have been able to install SQL 2005 here with no problem.
My boss does not want me to just do a full XP reinstall. He wants me to identify the specific problem and fix it. If this was my home computer I wouldn't spend so much time banging my head over this incomprehensible problem. But a full reinstall is not really an option for me in this case, unless maybe Microsoft says that's the only way to fix it.
I am available to deal with this issue during 9 to 5 eastern time Monday to Friday.

Hello!M a newbie.. I just want to know, that wots the difference b/w SQL Server Standard Edition and Express Edition.?And can I use Visual Studio 2005 (Professional Edition) with SQL Server Express Edition.?
Dear All,We have a database which contains many tables which have millions ofrecords. When We attach the database with MS SQL Server 2005 StandardEdition Server and run some queries (having joins, filters etc.) thenthey take very long time to execute while when We execute same querieson Enterprise Edition then they run 10 times faster than on standardedition.Our database does not use any features which are present in EnterpriseEdition and not present in Standard Edition. We want to know what arethe differences between Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition forperformance. Why should we go for Enterprise Edition when StandardEdition has all the features required.We are presently using evaluation versions of SQL Server 2005 Standardand Enterprise Editions.Thanks and regards,Nishant Sainihttp://www.simplyjava.com
I am attempting to upgrade a 2005 Standard Edtion to Enterprise Edition. This is a default instance. All components are upgraded successfully except the Database Engine. I receive the following error:
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following problem: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]The certificate cannot be dropped because one or more entities are either signed or encrypted using it.. To continue, correct the problem, and then run SQL Server Setup again.
This installation does not have encryption enabled, so I do not undersand the error or how to correct it.
After rebooting the SQL instance appears to be upgraded to Enterprise, but it cannot be upgraded to SP2.
Hi all--I'm researching the cleanest downgrade path from a trial edition of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise to a licensed Standard Edition copy. It looks like downgrading will entail uninstalling the old version and installing the new version, but I'd like to save the original setup as much as possible. Detaching the old databases will preserve the non-system databases; what method would work best for restoring the system databases?
I'd like to upgrade from my current SQL Server version: 09.00.3042 (Workgroup edition that comes with SBS upgrade) to the standard edition that I've just purchased. I've attempted to run setup.exe SKUUPGRADE=1 from the command prompt and it just tells me that there's nothing new to install.
I don't really want to uninstall the current installation just to do something that shouldn't be complicated to do, upgrading software versions should not be a difficult process.
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?
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 got a problem in my development phase. I'm developing a web-application system that running merge database technology which is centralized database and distributed database. This is because my customer want a highly optimum system standby.
My centralized database running SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and the distributed database running SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (because it is free). Each of these database, the users can change the data on its database. So, every database must have the same data. from my understanding, each server must act as Publisher and Subscriber. Can SQL Server 2005 Express Edition be a Publisher?
If not, what the solution you all may suggest, because cost is the first factor. If my architecture is not correct, so what you all suggest to me to resolve the problem.
Thanks so much. Any suggestion and opinion is highly appreciate and I'm highly thanks to you all.
