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.
Hi 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 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.

Hi All, My program is written in VB.NET and the DB is SQL 2005 Ex Ed.
I have installed both, the SQL SERVER 2005 and my program on the SERVER.

Windows 2003 Server and all client PCs are all on the same network. I installed SQL 2005 std version on windows server 2003 and created a database and tables in it.
I have two users, who want to connect to SQL server 2005 from their PCs (they have windows XP):
These are two things that I need to facilitate:
1) They want to be able to write queries using Query Designer and run from their PCs.
2) I created an MS Access database on my PC, I want to use Access database as a front end to the SQL server database. I will create queries, forms in Access DB, and I want to be able to get the data from SQL server Database to do this. I guess I can use ODBC to connect to tables in SQL server database.
3) I want to connect SQL server to Oracle database, and run oracle stored procedures. I want to load the results of oracle stored procedures into SQL server database tables. I guess I will use IIS for this.
Any suggestions are appreciated, especially with item number 1.
Re: Best Practices (security): Should SQL Server (2005) *not* be installed on the same physical HD as the Windows OS (Server 2003 R2) ?
Hi,
We're setting up some new servers, and today I'm looking into best practices for the SQL Server Setup portion of it.
The servers have include 2 x 250G HD, and from what I've read, where IIS is concerned, it should not be installed on the drive that has the OS on it, for security reasons. I was wondering if the installation of SQL Server should be on the non-OS drive as well ?
I would like to deploy several reports to production server, Do i need to install reporting services entire software in order to run the reports or is it possible to just have runtime files installed on it to run the reports.

Thanks for the helpful information.
(i am using SQL server 2005 / reporting services 2005.)
I'm an absolute beginner trying to learn SQL and Visual Basic/Visual Web developer.
I've downloaded SQL Express 2005 and want to install it on my laptop (Dell XPS, 2gb Ram) so that I can start doing the tutorials (for SQL and VB/VWS). I dont want any connection to the internet - i only want to have it on my local pc.
I'm confused as I 'm sure I read that I dont need to have the IIS service running, and that it wont require a server...however, I keep reading that IIS, and a server is a MUST, and for installing SQLE2005.
I'm so confused, and frustrated that I dare'nt install SQLE2005...
hi !!I have just downloaded 180 days trial version....It is not getting installed by me...It shows : minimum hardware requirement does not match. .... I have computer with 512MB RAM and 1.60 Ghz process with XP professional installed on it with SP2.I have just formated my pc and trying to install SQL2005...i have already VS2005 installed in my PC..Any idea???
I installed SQL Server 7.0 Desktop and SP2 on Windows 2000 Pro. When I tried to start the SQLServer Agent from the MMC, I get an error as follows:
Service Control Failure An error 1060 - (The specified service does not exist as an installed service) occurred while performing this service operation on the SQL Server Agent.
The Server Agent does not show up in the Service Manager.
Does the Destop version include the Server Agent? What do I need to do to make the Server Agent Work?
I'm working on a project that's going to require me to connect to an instance of SQL Server installed on a machine other than my development machine (i.e. not localhost). I don't know as yet whether the machine i'm going to be connecting to is within the company's LAN or otherwise.
What do i need to ask IT support to install on my development box? I guess i'll need the .NET framework and either Enterprise Manager & Query Analyzer or SQL Server Management Studio but what else, if anything is required? A suite of client tools or something along those lines?
How can I tell if SQL Server 2000 is installed on my local machine ? I have Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer installed, are they part of the server install ?
I have a Windows XP machine that I have run SQL Server on in the past.I recently re-formatted the hard drive and re-installed XP from scratch,and now when I try to re-install SQL Server 2000, I get an error messagesaying that the "server component is not supported on this operatingsystem. Only client components will be available for installation." Ihave a hard time understanding why the server components can't beinstalled on XP, especially since I've installed them before on thissame machine.Can anyone explain why this might be, and what I can do (if anything) sothat it can be installed again?Thanks.Steve

I'm working on a school project on web and mobile applications, and had decided to use MS SQL Server for my backend database.
However, after I've installed MS SQL Server 2000, I ran a port scan and I couldn't find the server running on any ports (MySQL is running on my port 3306, but I guess it doesn't matter) Can something drop some hints on how to debug the problem?
I'm running on Athlon XP 2000+ w/ Windows XP Professional SP2
We installed an Enterprise version onto a server that only needs Standard. Unfortunately an outside supplier installed software and databases on it before we realised our mistake. Is it safe to just install Standard 'over the top'and what would that do to the application's databases ?
Good day,Can SQL Server tools (QA, EM) can be installed on a client machine froma full SQL Server installation on a server? I can't find the CD.Thanks for your time.Eric
I have installed an SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition (SP4) on acomputer that has Windows Server 2003 on it.The server is connected tothe workgroup "WORK" and has no Active Directory. Now I cannot connectto that database server from other computers in the network. On theserver itself, I can registrate the instance from the own SQL Server2000 and also an instance from an other SQL Server 2000 installation ona Windows 2000 Server in the network.The network consists of a Windows 2000 Server (with a SQL Server 2000installation), some workstations (W2000 Pro, Win XP Pro) and the newinstalled Windows Server 2003.When I try to connect to that new database Server with Query Analyzerfrom an other computer I get allways the message box with the text like"...SQL Server doesnt exist or access denied. ConnectionOpen(Connect())..."Many thanks for help.bitchanger
I've used ClickOne to package my desktop database application (Developed using VB 2005 Express and SQLServer 2005 Express) then installed it on another PC. Is there a way that I could modify the installed database just like I could if I used MS Access?
