Hi....
I have sql server 2005 evaluation edition. And This version doesn't provides Mirroring option.Even after installation of service Pack1. Is there any other edition (Freeware or Evaluation) which provides the Database Mirroring.
waiting for the prompt reply.
Thanks
HI,
Does SQL server 2005 Express Edition or
Does SQL server 2005 Express Edition Sp1 supports Data base Mirroring?
I have:
A server computer running SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition.
A industrial computer running SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
And now also a Psion WorkAboutPro with CE 5 that should run SQL Server Compact Edition.
The industrial computer syncs its data with the server, basically saying "this has happened".
Now I want the Psion to sync with the industrial computer, but this sync must two-way.
I have tried to find a guide or something that can tell me "do this to sync" but the information i have found is sketchy at best.
If someone could point me in the right direction of a guide or something else it would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Björn
Hello,
I have been unable to create a replication from an SQL Server 2005 standard edition database to remote SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. The remote express edition is on a Virtual Private Server we are leasing from a hosting company. The name of the remote DB is similar to vs572.si-vs572.com. I can connect to this with SQL server authentication through Management Studio and also with SSIS. But, I have been unable to create a push subscription (I have tried a test push subscription with the same publication to a local SQL Express server here in our office and this works fine).
Here is the error message: SQL Server Replication requires the actual server name to make a connection to the server. Connections through server alias, IP address, or any other alternate name are not supported. Specify the actual server name, 'VS572SQLEXPRESS'.
The hosting company had originally installed a shared SQL server which would not support replication. They then installed SQL Express edition and I was hoping this would allow us to run a replication.
I tried to connect to VS572SQLEXPRESS with out any luck. I check the remote connections, made sure replication was installed, etc., but no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Albert
Is it possible to connect SSRS running on SQL Server 2005 enterprise edition (our production system) to a database running on SQL Server 2005 Developer's edition (our test system)
thanks!
I am currently downloading the mega-sized files for SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and was wondering if I was going to be able to install it onto my workstation alongside the SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition? Was hoping someone could advise. I did browse for an answer, but have not come across it yet. I know I'll find out once my download is complete, but that could be awhile :)
Thanks,

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.?
View 1 Replies View RelatedDear 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

Hi
I am interested in taking MCTS exam 70-431 for sql server 2005 implementation and maintainance.
I have been reading the hardware requirements for the instalation of sql server versions and realise that enterprise and developer editions have same minimum requirements for the operation system.
I understand that the Developer Edition includes all the functionality of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition, but it is licensed for use as a development and test system, not as a production server.
Also I undestand that the developer edition supports the Windows XP Home Edition with SP2 or later but the enterprise edition does not support this operating system. The evaluation/trial version is for the enterprise edition. Can I use the developer version of sql server 2005 for my practice exercises instead of using the trial version?
I have all hardware requirements for the trial enterprise version except that I am using Microsoft windows Xp home edition version 2002 with SP2. I am trying to see if I can use the developer version of sql server 2005 as it is cheaper for me to buy this software than buying the new operating system for my computer.
According to the microsoft book for the MCTS exam 70-431 there is a section which states that before you begin you should have Microsoft Windows Server 2003 running on your computer on an NTFS file system
(NTFS) partition. Will I still be ok to use the book and be able to do all the tests in the book if i am using the developer version of sql server 2005 with my Microsoft windows Xp home edition than using the trial version which comes with the book?
Thanks

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.
Does anybody have any experience with this?
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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have an existing installation of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (64bit) that we are ready to go live with and would like to change the edition to Enterprise Edition (64bit). We have purchased all the appropriate licenses. We would like to avoid UN-installing the Developer Edition and RE-installing the Enterprise Edition. There must be some way to change a registry key, provide your serial number via a command line utility or re-run the setup with the license key provided and direct it to just change the edition from Developer to Enterprise and not change any of the other settings like service account, sa account, collation, etc. Any help is most appreciated.

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 appreciate any help
Thanks
Sitandard Edition gives you single REDO thread (server has only 4 CPUs, so Enteprise version would start a single thread anyways) and Safety is always on.
Now, with safety always on. In case of high transactions/sec OLTP machine , do transactions on principal always wait for mirror to commit ? If so, if little network problems occur (ping times >100ms+) , does insert/update/delete performance on principal suffer ? So, that simple insert i.e. that takes 10ms now could take up to partner timeout (5sec) seconds and row would be locked on principal for that long ?
If so, is Enterprise version with SAFETY off the only way to go?
Thank you.
Hello..
I've installed Visual Basic 2005 express edition & tried to connect to SQL Server 2005 express edition. I noticed that VB2005 Express Edition doesn't have any OLEDB provider for SQL Server. The only OLEDB Provider is for M.Access. Is this correct? if so, what should i do if i want to connect SQL Server 2005 express edition with VB2005 express edition by using OLEDB connection type?
I really appreciate any respond from you guys.. Thank's and waiting for the good news..

I am working on a proof of concept to take to our Technical Board.
This POC is concearned with SQL server 2005 Mirroring for High Availability and Failover in a Highly Critical business sector.
The problem is that we use custom web pages to give the Operations Center an overview of the status of the system and that there are so many metrics available (not may are well documented). I have looked at the following
sys.database_mirroring_witnesses
is_suspended to show the state of the Sync
database_name to return the name of the mirrored database
safety_level_desc to show that the Safety level is at Full
Principal_server_name to show the name of the Principal server
Mirror_server_name to Show the Name of the Mirror Server.
I am at a loss as to what is the best approach as I do not want to display too much Information and confuse.
The Servers are locked down to remove any permissions not required so I have to create a SQL account with only acces to the required sys views. one issue is that the following SQL only works on the Principal
Code SnippetSelect * from sys.database_mirroring where mirroring_guid is not null
The Principal returns
Code Snippet
7 267CF8D3-8066-44EA-84BD-B7EA25C3F779 4 SYNCHRONIZED 2 MIRROR 20 2 FULL 1 TCP://DNGLHRSQL051.XX.XX.XXX:5022 DNGLHRSQL051 TCP://LHRSQL029.XX.XXX.XXX:5023 1 CONNECTED 40000000010300001 10 NULL UNLIMITED
where the Mirror will return nothing..
The configuration of the User is identical on both Principal and Mirror and is as follows
Master Public
MSDB Public, dbm_monitor
I have read that the User also requires "view any Database" but on the Mirror this database is not available on the Mirror as it is in Sync.
Is this an undocumented Feature?
Any help greatly appreciated

Andy
I am trying to set up a SQL mirroring senario - I have some questions
Do I need to purchase an extra SQL Server license for the SQL server instance on the Mirror? what about the Witness does that also need a separate license/
Can the witness be a virtual server on the Mirror box itself? Do I still require a license if the witness is on a virtual server?
Thanks

Hello, My question is simply: according to BOL, a DB snapshot taken from a Mirror is read-only. Say I wanted a temporary (disposable) read-write DB created from the snapshot. Is there a way to generate a writable temp DB (that's not tempdb) from the snapshot? Thanks,AK
View 1 Replies View Related I am developing an enterprise class solution using SQL Server 2005 and MS .NET v2 and am tying determine if SQL Server 2005 (which edition and if so how) would be adequate for my proposed solution. Any feedback, tips, comments would be greatly appreciated.
As a background the solution I am developing will be web services based and used by multiple offices around the globe by over 500 users. I have already developed a prototype using a single SQL Server 2005 instance but as this solution is going to be used by offices around the world I want to have an IIS Server and SQL Server 2005 server instance in each office with "links" back to the primary SQL Server 2005 cluster in Australia.
One of my thoughts was to set up replication between the offices that would happen at midnight remote office local time and then set up triggers to update the primary cluster when assoociated data was changed on the remote sites or on the primary cluster. Does anyone know or can anyone suggest alternatives to this strategy?
I effectively need some sort of inter site caching functionality with store and foreward capabilities ...
Thanks

Hi All,
I get a general question about the feacture "Database Mirroring". Is it support by SQL Server Standard. Edition without SP1?? Of i still need to upgrade the server from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2005 with SP1?
Another question: are there any problem if the one machine(server) has installed SQL server 2005 Standard edition and the other with "Developer Editon".
I hope some one can answer my question. Thanks anyway!

We have been using Sql Server 2005 Compact Edition 3.1 RDA synchronization method successfully on Sql Server 2000 database. Recently we moved the database to Sql Server 2005, sync doesn't work anymore, it just hangs on one table. On further investigation, we found out that it's the index on that table that causes this. We removed the index, it works fine. We are wondering the root cause, removing the index is not a solution for us. Any thoughts?. Thanks.

Hi,
we have setup synchronous mirroring with witness server.We ran into problem when we stoped the SQLService of Primary Server. Failover Occured and Witness Server made Mirror Server Primary.
The User assosciated with the Database become Orphaned and no one is able to connect to the Database .
We recove login failed error for all login for mirrored database.
We have to manually run the below comand and reset the password for each login.
1.To Detect Orphaned Users
sp_change_users_login @Action='Report';
2.To Resolve an Orphaned User
sp_change_users_login @Action='update_one', @UserNamePattern='<database_user>', @LoginName='<login_name>';
GO
Please let me know why sql server mirroring show such strange behavior. If we manually failove every thing work fine.

I have a SQL Server 2005 evaluation that has already been installed and setup on a server. I believe it originally had a 180 day eval. There have been numerous databases and users added as well as maintenance plan created...
The eval was put on the machine as an interim solution while waiting for paper work and order processiing things to happen. All the paperwork and ordering... have been completed and I now have the real SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition license key ....
I am very new to SQL Server and need to determine ...
1. Can I update the eval copy to become permanently licensed?
2. Would I want to upgrade the eval to permanent? Will I lose any capabilities by keeping the current eval setup?
If it is reasonable to keep the eval setup
3. How do I go about entering the license key to make it permanent?
If it is necessary to install the new Standard Edition...
4. How do I install it while maintaining the already defined databases, data, users, maintenance plan...
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Server A = primary SQL DBs (mirroring origination)
Server B = failover SQL DBs (mirroring destination)
For database mirroring a witness is required.
Can the witness live in another instance of SQL on server B?
I tried to install this on the same box and I'm not sure how to reply to setup questions since I want to keep my SQL Server 2000 intact.
