What Licensing Is Needed To Mirror A SQL 2005 Server?
May 7, 2008
Hello,
I hope this is in the right forum, I'm new to MSDN. I'm also not an expert in SQL, so please bear with me as I was unable to find an answer by searching the archives.
We have a single SQL 2005 Standard installation with 30 user CALs on a Server2003R2 box. We have another Server 2003 box in a remote but connected location that we previously used for backup replication. What we'd like to do is use some of the replication features in SQL 2005 to replicate the data over every night to the other box, onto which we would install another copy of SQL 2005. This would not be a server accessed by clients, but simply a "live backup", that in the event of a catastrophic failure, could be manually set up to operate as a SQL server in place of the failed primary server. I don't need any kind of automatic "failover", just the ability to replicate the data over to the other system so I have two SQL Servers that synchronize from one to the other overnight.
I was told that I wouldn't need to buy the user CALs again, that the 30 user cals would translate over if the primary server fails and has to be replaced by the cloned server. But what do I buy for the SQL server itself? A boxed version is a bit pricy and comes with 5 CALs which apparently I wouldn't need. Then I noticed that on softwaremedia.com the open license version, which can be bought a la carte, lists a requirement of buying at least 5 cals or a processor license. What exactly do I need to do this, and how can I get it for the least amount of further spending?
Thanks!

Hi all,
Does anyone knows a trick to change the licensing of a SQL server 7 from a Per server to a Per seat Licensing without re-installing SQL.
Thanks,

Hi Everyone;
I have a SQL Server 2005 DB server (SRV1) and a mirror DB server (SRV2) without witness server. I saw that there is a "Failover" button on Mirror window of SRV1. When click it servers changes roles.
My question is that: If my mirrored DB server crashs and I can not open windows or if I lost all data on SRV1, how can I failover from only mirror DB (SRV2)?
Thanks in advance.

Hello All,
I've tried to replicated exactly what it says in the online documentation. At the end of the post are the SQL statements issued.
1. Enable encrypted outbound connections on the primary server
2. Enable encrypted outbound connections on the mirror server
3. Enable encrypted outbound connections on the witness server
4. Enable encrypted inbound connections on the primary server
5. Enable encrypted inbound connections on the mirror server
6. Enable encrypted inbound connections on the witness server
7. Set mirror''s partner to the primary
8. Set primary''s partner the mirror
9. Set principal€™s witness.
Every step run''s normally,but why can''t auto failover.
I used the following Script:
/* -------- 1. ENABLE OUTBOUND CONNECTIONS ON THE PRIMARY -------- */

Hello,Our company has developed several Access applications for our clientsand we wish to expand to use a database server. We wish to use Accessas the front end application and SQL Server 2005 as the back endDatabes Server. Making a Server-Client application database.I'm very new to SQL Server so my concern is how the licensing worksfor a developer like us. I am aware that we can purchase the Developeredition for $49 USD. Our clients will then have to purchase a theirrespective licensing option.We do not have an issue with this, but i would like a betterunderstanding of how this works.1) The developer edition (DE) is the same as the Enterprise edition.Would our clients have to buy the Enterprise edition ($24,999) if wedevelop the SQL server in the DE? Or can they purchase the Standardor Workgroup edition if the workload allows it?2) If the client already has the Enterprise Edition on the Server wewish to use, will they have to buy the license again if we create theDatabase? Can they import our Database to thier SQL Server, and ourapplication connects to thiers?3) Is there other options that would require a cheaper option for ourclients?4) With just the DE, can we develope applications and use theappropriate edition for our clients whatever it is?5) To test our products we thought of using the Trial version tosimulate a multi-user test environment? Since thats just a 180 daytrial, perhaps the Worgroup Edition or the Light weight Edition mightwork. But these editions might not be compatible with our clients'requirements. The DE doesn't seem to handle multi-user environments,so we cant effectively test how the application will perform in the"real world". Any advices here?Our clients range from small bussiness to nation-wide to multi-national companies.Thanks,- GL

Hi,
Could someone pl explain how is SQL Server mobile 2005 licensed. Do we need to buy license for each device ? or CAL?
In my app, I need a database which is accessed by .net compact framework app. synchronization is also done by our own app, no direct communication from sql server mobile to sql server db. we have a server side .net app which talks to the sql server and a windows mobile app which talks to the sql mobile db, these two .net apps talk to each other like:
sql server mobile db <--->.net compact framework app <--->.net desktop app <-->sql server 2005
Needless to say, there would be multiple devices having the above setup. However only one desktop side app and database. In this scenario, how would licensing be calculated?
regards,
D2

I'm getting some conflicting information , regarding sql 2005 Standard Edition licensing for multi instancing.
If you have multiple instances of SQL 2005 Standard Edition on one Server, do you need to pay a server license for every Instance or just the one Server license?

Hello,
I have two question with respect to the developer edition licensing in SQL Server 2000 and 2005:
Question 1
I wanted to install a developer edition on a Development/Test Server. The server needs to be accessed by our development and Testing team of a team of 20 from their workstations. Is that possible?
Question 2
And if so what are the different licensing options that I can choose from considering that I don't want to install a developer edition of sql server on each workstation? The developer edition will be installed on the Dev/Test Server and the workstations will connect to the server using NT or Standard authentication.
Looking forward for any advice and suggestions.
Thanks!

I have one server hosting an ASP.NET application. It will be running 2005 Standard Edition.
I don't really understand which licensing model I need. Obviously processor licensing would work, but at a hefty price!
The web application and SQL Server are on the same machine, and no other machines will be querying the database. The only 'users' are the people who visit the website (both internal and external users).
Can someone help me properly determine the most cost efficient licening model to use?
Thanks

After adding the Witness Server to the Mirror session, the Witness Connection state between the Mirror and Witness Connection is Disconnected and the state between Principal and Witness Connection is Connected.
The procedures defined in Books Online was used to setup Database Mirroring...when the Witness server was added to the Mirror session, only the alter database T-SQL statement was executed on the Principal server.
ALTER DATABASE <db_name> SET WITNESS = 'TCP://<servername>:<port>'
After executing the above statement, a few seconds later the state between Principal and Witness Connection changed to Connected and the state between Mirror and Witness Connection remains Disconnected.
The Mirror session is not using Certificates, every server is on the same domain, using the same domain login account, and all servers have SP2 installed running Enterprise Edition.
Any idea's why the state between Mirror and Witness Connection remains Disconnected?
Thanks,

Hi folks
I attended one of the SQL Server 2005 "Ready to Launch" parties a couple of years ago and was given a complimentary SQL Server Standard Edition CAL along with a copy of the SQL Server 2005 Standard setup DVD.
As there's no mention in the "Ready to Launch" pack of an included Server license I was wondering whether it is possible to install a copy of SQL Server 2005 on a standalone server and use the single CAL in a Production environment without having to purchase a Server license? The pack does include a Product Key - is this the Server license?
Thanks
Chris

Hi,I have 2 stored procedure 1st insert the data in parent tables and return the Id. and second insert child table data using that parent table id as paramenter. I have foreign key relationship between these two tables also.my data layer methods somewhat looks likepublic void Save(order value){using (TransactionScope transactionScope = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Required)) { int orderId = SaveOrderMaster(value); value.OrderId = orderid; int childId = SaveOrderDetails(value); //complete the transaction transactionScope.Complete(); }}here 1. SaveOrderMaster() calls an stored procedure InserOrderData which insert a new record in order table and return the orderId which is identity column in Order table.2. SaveOrderDetails() call another sotored procedure which insert order details in to table "orderdetail" using the foreign key "orderid".My Problem:Some time the above method works correctly but when i call it repeatledly (in a loop) with data, some time it gives me foreign key error which state that orderid is not existsin table Order. This will happen only randomly. I am not able to figureout the reason. does some one face the same problem. if yes, what could be the reason and/or solution.

Hi,
I want to develop a monthly salary report for our employees. The salary is calculated on daily basis for individiaul employees. Thus the report is supposed to display Employee Name, ID etc + 31 columns (representing maximum days in a month). The report will display the employee basic information along with their salary calculation for each day. So its like 35 columns report. I already have used a cursor in my stored procedure with SQL Server 2005 to get this report (displayed in .NET Page) but the performance is more than worst and takes even 3-4 minutes to compile (which ofcourse is unacceptable). There are around 300 employees and they belong to different departments. When we select a given department, all the respective employees report has to be displayed. If i select All Departments, then the entire 300 employees report has to be displayed. I dont want to cache the data as it will have a big performance issue for the server.
I want some good suggestion on how to develop a monthly report in SQL Server 2005 which can display the data with optimized performance. Kindly help of any guru will be highly appreciated.
Regards...

When is RTRIM needed in a Select ... where clause. I noticed that if I have a column named TEXT varchar(17) which is varchar and in the where clause I state where
TEXT = 'This is the text'
or I state
TEXT = 'This is the text ' followed by 4 spaces
The equate still works - so when do I need RTRIM?
Do I need RTRIM for a host variable:
...where TEXT = RTRIM(:VAR_001)
if the host variable is the same length as the TEXT column field in the SQL Server 2005 database?

2. Copy the backup over to the mirror server: OK!
3. Restore the Database on Mirror Server: OK!
4. Establish Endpoint on Principal Server: Encyrption Disabled OK! TCP - PORT 5022
4.1 Test Script: Checks fine (values match)
SELECT e.name, e.protocol_desc, e.type_desc, e.role_desc, e.state_desc,

ON e.endpoint_id = t.endpoint_id
5. Establish Endpoint on Mirror Server: Encyrption Disabled OK! TCP - PORT 5022
5.1 Test Script: Checks fine (values match) (same script as above)
6. Specify Principal server from Mirror server: OK! Connecting with IP
7. Specify Mirror server from Principal server: OK! Connecting with IP
8. View Mirror Information:
8.1 Test Script: Shows everything in NULL
SELECT mirroring_state_desc, mirroring_partner_name, mirroring_witness_name, mirroring_witness_state_desc, mirroring_role_desc, mirroring_safety_level_desc
FROM sys.database_mirroring
Mirror endpoints are still in red even though they initialized correctly.
Mirror monitor shows no mirrors are up.
SQL Logs shows: The Database Mirroring protocal transport is now listening for connections.
Any help would be appreciated.

Using SQL Server 2000 std. edition, I was bitten by the bug described in KBs 818671 and 289149. Query optimizer using Hash Match Team operators would sometimes fail. I added -T8679 at SQL Server startup.
Now that I'm upgrading to SQL Server 2005, is this trace flag still required?
I see that "this was fixed in SQL 2000, SP1." However, I would like a more precise confirmation that this flag is no longer needed in SQL 2005. Sometimes, no news is not necessarily good news.
The error is intermittent, and at least partially dependent on data conditions not available to me for exhaustive regression testing (or else of course I would do that).
Any info, comments, etc. ... would be welcome.
Thanks ...

Someone please help me, Im trying to set up SQLServer on my website(IIS v4.0) and I cant seem to get any web apps that use SQL to intall correctly, I get errors like, SQL does not recieve remote connections by default, or just 'Server Not Found'.
This is what I need to know
- How to set SQL to accept incomming remote connections
- Where to find the Name of the SQL instance
- Is it a good idea to have a password on the db, and how do I add one
- A walkthrough on how to set up SQL Express 2005(what to do after the istall is complete)
As you can see Im very new to SQL. So any information you could give to help would be greatly appreciated.

ok here we go...
Currently Project managing deployment of a lightwieght asp.net web app, and have a web server in a dmz and a database app server behind corporate firewall. The app is to be used by external internet users and is accessed through the web apps authentication. Currently have sql 2005 standard processor licence on the db server.
At present RS is deployed on the main db app server however it is not accessible to the external world as corporate IT advise this is a security risk. Fair enough. They advise I need ot install RS and sql licence on web server to get this to work.
However will I now need to buy a processor licence to enable RS to run on the web server? there was an interesting thread posted below on the deployment of RS. I think if you install Report Manager on separate server (the dmz web server) then you do not need to purchase more SQL licenses? the EULA indicated this but its not crystal clear.
The report manager is a asp.net web app just 'ike the main application. Is it not feasible to install report manager on the web app and then have this talk back to the report server on the main db application?
is Report Server installed with Report Manager regardless, and even if you deploy it separately you still have to pay!

hope makes some sense

I have a rather complicated SQL Licensing question which i am looking for a simplified answer to. My current production environment consists of a dual CPU W2K3 SQL 2000 ent. as the primary transactional server and a quad itanium W2K3 running 64bit SQL 2000 ent as a backup reporting server. I am currently working on a project that will expose these servers to users outside of our firewall (read only non-transactional) and our desire is not to upgrade to SQL 2005 at this time. In additon, the primary server will be accessed from 7am to 9pm and then a switch over to the backup from 9pm to 11pm as the primary will be unavilable due to maintenance. If I interpret SQL 2005 Licensing correctly we would need a per-processor liscense, either standard or enterprise depending on the features utilized. Since we are only doing log shipping from the primary to secondary server my assumption is to purchase SQL 2005 Standard per-processor licensing for both servers?

Greetings Team,
please see my post in the previous thread;
http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2606008&SiteID=17&mode=1
We are making our final decission of using either transaction log replicant or a database mirror replicant and which solution would provide the biggest ease of provisioning as well as the fastest turn around in recovery.
"Good Morning Team,
I have a client whom has a 2 node SQL 2005 cluster with over 100 databases, their schema design is that they create a new database for every customer that signs to their services.
The problem I am encountering is that for every new database created in the cluster we like to setup a SQL2005 mirror replicant at a remote site for disaster recovery should the cluster ever fail.
i'm looking at the SQL professionals to help me with 2 questions.
#1 Upon creation of a new database in the cluster is there an easily scripted method that could be used to automatically create the mirror replicant, what about if not being aware of the new databases having been created? since we do not know when the customer creates databases or perhaps a SQL job that could be done based on new databases created that would automatically script the procedure of a database mirror.
#2 understanding the procedures required in a mirror replicant from a cluster primary involving, database backup, database restore to mirror replicant, transaction log backup and then transaction log restore with both points of the restore leaving the mirror replicant in NO RECOVERY mode and lastly creating the connection end points.
has anyone encountered such a situation with a database cluster with a mirror replicant consisting of such a wide span of individual smaller databases and would anyone have suggestions on how to make this highly available with a mirror replicant?
i look forward to hearing back, happy holidays."

I have SQL 2005 mmirroring sucessfully working in an ASP.NET 2.0 web application. I also have session state being maintained in SQL Server using the built-in functionality in ASP.NET. The problem is, even with "allowCustomSqlDatabase=True" and specifying a failover partner in the DSN, it appears that ASP.NET does not work with the failover partner. It always tries to get the session info from the "data source" server specified in the DSN.
Is there a way to get the session state to fail over to the mirrored server without writing a custom session state provider?

I have created a linked report in which I have two screen:
First Screen: Clicking on the bar of particular country the details of that particular country should be visible (the second screen)
Second Screen: When I clicked on a bar. All the count values are very well correct. In first chart Count of values under one bar "Pending decision"(yellow) was 337 for a country and in second screen its 337 again(shown in light green bar).
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
Problem: My problem is to make it sure that the colors that the first screen is having for particular status (as shown in the legend) should remain same in second screen also. For example for a status say "pending decision" the chart is using yellow color, so in screen two as well it must be shown with yellow color and not with lany other color. Can anyone help me in this context. Is there any way to customize colors used by bar chart. Please note that the question is not about using appropriate color scheme(palette) the question is how to "capture/ Re-use/ customize/ pass as a parameter" the colors used by a bar chart in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.
