There are a few features in the new SQL Server - Reporting Services that I really need in production. I have tested everything and it works great. I am running the CTP version since Microsoft is saying they aren't releasing the release version until 3rd quarter 2008.
Since Microsoft won't sell SQL 2008 until 3rd quarter, can I run the CTP in production until the release and then purchase SQL 2008?

Recently, I set up server with Windows Web Server 2008 RC1, SQL 2008 Express beta, .NET 3.5, IIS 7.
I'm running ASP.NET web application with SQL database. Everything works fine until the first application state on the server expires. After that, any postback that starts a new application state on the server and connects to the database, results in the following error:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
Is this a bug that will be fixed in release of Windows / SQL or am I doing something wrong?
Many thanks for help,

Hi all,
New to this so please be patient and please help.
I have developed an SQL 2005 Express command line option install for our company which has been working seamlessly for the last 18 months.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx
I downloaded the €œMicrosoft SQL Server 2008 Express CTP, February 2008€? from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=749BD760-F404-4D45-9AC0-D7F1B3ED1053&displaylang=en
I simply replaced the 2005 file €œSQLEXPR.EXE€? with the 2008 file €œ€?, recompiled the installation and tested only for it to fail. I than read the 2008 books online and noted the change in command line options.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=19DB0B42-A5B2-456F-9C5C-F295CDD58D7A&displaylang=en
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259(SQL.100).aspx
I then changed the command line to suit the Microsoft 2008 books online, recompiled the installation and tested only for it to fail once more.
Interestingly I tested the install from the default GUI and at the point of adding the €œsa€? login credentials it fails to allow the installation to proceed. Strangely by selecting the windows authentication credentials, €œnext€? than €œback€? it now allows me to add the €œsa€? login credentials and continues to install correctly as required.
I hope I have explained this clearly enough.
1. Is this a bug in the €œMicrosoft SQL Server 2008 CTP, February 2008€? installation?
2. If so is this causing the command line install options to fail?
3. How do I obtain a version of €œMicrosoft SQL Server 2008 Express€? that will work installing from the command line?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I have to upgrade the sql server from 6.5 to 7.0 for the first time. I have decided to go with two machine upgrade using named pipes.
The question is: Can we still use 6.5 machine and database as production version until we test out the application on 7.0?
We are planning to relpeat the upgrade once the testing is done on 7.0 server once the testing is done.
We're going to be upgrading our Server from 6.5 to 7.0. In addition we're getting a new SQL Server Box.
Which of the following is better: a) Install SQL 6.5 on the new box, restore the DB from old box to the new box, then install 7.0 on the new box and use the upgrade wizard to upsize the DB. (We'll have room to leave the 6.5 devices on the box after upgrading.) or b) Install SQL 7.0 on the new box and upsize the db across the network (100megabit network cards).
Thanks,

Does anyone know of a good book or resource on what's the best way to upgrade 6.5 to 2k? Or generally how would you do that considering you need to do on more then 50 servers?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I'm using Visual Studio's one click deployment to install/update software for users. SQL Express 2005 is the default, and I need to get all current and new users to update to SQL Express 2005 SP2. Ontop of that, I need to change the sa password for all current users (I should be able to manually set it for the new guys).
The problem I'm having is that instead of just updating the current SQL Express engine installed, it creates a new instance of the SQL Express engine when installing SQL Express SP2.
Is there anyway to just update SQL Express to SP2? Is there an easy way to change the sa password when doing so?
I have an application which installs MySQL 3.23. It's hard-coded. Irealize there are newer versions, so I am thinking, what's easiest:1) install the application with its default 3.23 and then run a scriptto convert 3.23 to 4.1 or later,or2) modify the application to install a newer version of MySQL from thestart.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm in the process of upgrading a gazillion apps from using .MDB files to using SQLCE 3.5. (Or, at least planning the upgrade). Is there an easy way to save existing .MDB files as .SDFs? Also, we have an occasional app that's web based (eg. certification exam, where we have 10 people take it online at the same time, in one day, and the database keeps the score, questions, etc.); is it a good idea to move that kind of app to SQLCE from MDB?

Hey,
I have a SQL Server 2005 Express Edition installed, and I want to upgrade to SP2.
Is there a way to configure (using the setup ini file maybe?) the installer to install only the SP2?
Thanks ahead

When I run SP3 & SP4 for SQL Server it runs okay. I get no errors after the installation & both installations call for a reboot which I do with no problems.
But yet when I get back into my machine, go to the Query Analyzer & run "Select @@version" and execute it, it's still showing v8.00.194 (Original release). It should be showing 8.00.2039.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!
We are upgrading our servers from 6.5 to 7.0 SQL servers. I used the same configurations on both 6.5 server and 7.0 server like ANSI and the others. But SQL7.0 server turns out to have different data on some tables. Here is the example on one table. Why?

I have checked the datatypes that are transferred from SQL6.5. They are the same types as SQL6.5. Plus the configurations are the same on both 6.5 and 7.0. The question is that why the values are different? What the way is to fix it?
Hi,
Well there's always a first for everything!! I have a SQL 7.0 server on sP1
and ran upgrade to sp3 and recieved error 'error in upgrade script' retry or cancel. When I retried the upgrade ended. I tried to run the upgrade again and it tries continue where it ended before, but the upgrade ends unsucessfully. I even tried extracted the sp3 exe to a diffrent folder and ran the sp3 upgrade with same results.
I started the MSSQL service ok but not able to use Query Analyzer, DTS, EM.
Get the following message:ISQL.EXE - Entry Point not found. The procedure entry point?DeleteRow@CDataCTLStorage@@UAEJJPAPAG@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLGUI.dll
I get similar msgs when trying to open DTS, Enterprise manager from the server. The user databases and appear to be ok. I am able to get to Query Analyzer, etc. from my worksation fine.
Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a fix for it or do I need to rebuild the server from SP1 and restore the databases, etc.??
Thanks Much,

I have a couple of 6.5 installations with different codepages/sort orders, when I come to upgrade these databases, is it possible to change the code pages/sort order during the upgrade of my existing databases so that I have the same sort order/codepages across all my sites?
The databases don't actually have any extended characters in.
Thanks

All the documentation I have read talks about upgrading from SQL Server 6.x. I presume I can use the upgrade wizard to upgrade my 6.0 system directly to 7.0 without having to upgrade to 6.5 first.
Any thoughts, comments or help would be much appreciated.
Hi all :
Does the upgrade wizard in 7.0 help me upgrade ALL the database objects in SQL 6.5 (including stored procedures, triggers) to 7.0? Has anyone encountered any problems?

Anyone know of any issues I should be aware of when upgrading from sql 7.0 to 2000? Is it a problematic proccess?

Have you ever faced a problem like this. I am running MS SQL Server 6.5 on Windows NT 4.0 computer whose name is with dashes (hou-is). Now, I try to update to version 7.0 and it gives me error message: @@nameserver from export 6.5 is not valid. Use sp_addserver and sp_netname.
How you can change a sql server name to non-dash name in order to complete the upgrade sql server?
I know this is a challenging tech question.
I appreciate your tech expertise.

We are currently still running SQL6.0 on NT4 server, and we want to upgrade to SQL2000. My question: how easy is it to upgrade from SQL6.0 to SQL2000?
View 3 Replies View RelatedCurrently running SQL Server 7, and have databases. I want to upgrade to SQL Server 2000. How can achieve it without delete or losing my databases. This is NOT a production server, BUT I still want to keep my databases. Ideally I would like to uninstall and reinstall so that there are no SQL Server 7 files lying around when I have SQL 2000 running. Thanks.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
We are trying to upgrade from SQL Server v7.0 to SQL Server 2000. Here's our set up,
Current Server: Win NT, SQL Server v7.0
New Server : Win 2000, SQL Server 2000
Client (my PC): Win XP, SQL Server 2000
The New Server is designated SQL Server machine -- company-wide. That is, all the apps/projects uses this machine as the SQL Server. It only has one instance of SQL Server running.
Different project are assigned a dedicated 'Drive' (logical only) and allocated certain disk size as the work space. We (my team) will be the new entry for this server.
Q: When doing the Copy Wizard (from my PC) to upgrade/copy the existing v7.0 db (from Current Server) to New SQL Server 2000, do I need to specify the physicall 'Data' folder? Or, can I copy the database to the selected path -- which is my dedicated drive?
Thanks in Advance.

Hey,

Hi All,
We're about to upgrade/re-build our SQL server box.
We have 2 apps which use the server (both fairly small), one uses NT security - the other uses SQL security.
My question is, apart from our 2 databases, what else should we backup (and restore onto the new clean machine) so as to preserve the user logins for the app that uses SQL security (the other one's dead simple)? The app itself maintains the user details and creates the SQL logins (with passwords etc.) but I can't find a way to 're-create' them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John

I want to move my database from Access to SQL server. But I would like to Use access as the front end for simple data entry, queries and reports. I dont know how to do this,, (using Access as a front end for SQL Server)
Can anyone recomend topics of interest or a good book?
Thanks

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm totally new to SQL server.
I wanted to upgrade this one server that was running SQL 8.0. I did an install of SQL2005 (9.0 right?) and it appeared to go well. But once it was completed I found out that the original installation of SQL was on a different drive. So instead of upgrading, I actually installed another instance of SQL? (Is that term correct?) So now when I open SQL2005, it shows the server name but with (SQL Server 8.0.2039) next to it.
How can I now upgrade the databases themselves?
Please help!
thanks!

Hi
Im new to this forum so go easy!
Ive been asked to do a few things:
1. copy an existing 2005 express db to another machine
2. on the new machine install 2005 express and get the db working
3. upgrade 2005 express to 2005 standard (have disks etc)
So far i've physically copied the .mdf and the .ldf to the new local machine and I think ive installed sql 2005 express ok, but what do I do when I start it up, eg asks for a server name etc. Is that my local machine name, ive tried browsing and cant seem to do so locally to pick up the copied db. Once ive got this sorted, is the upgrade to standard a straight forward microsoft install, or do i have to do anything to the db (unmount is it called?)
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks
Does anyone know how much it costs to upgrade from SQL 2000 to SQL2005? All I can find is the "Software assurance" package which alsomentions buying SQL 2000. What options are there if you already haveSQL 2000 installed and just want to upgrade?
