How To Completly Remove All Sql Instances!
Jun 29, 2006
Hi there,
I kinda play with MSDE / SQL Express and now I need to remove everything!
I did the manual remove (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320873/EN-US/)
but I did copy the osql.exe file.
Now, when I do osql -L to list the instances, I got 4 of them!
all of which I have no idea how they got there.. and the names tell me nothing (nothing I ever typed during my test!)
- JUKELANSRVSQLEXPRESS
- QUAD-1800
- SERVEURSQL (that's in French!)
- VIVENDI
the only thing that MIGHT have cause SOME of these (certainly not all), is ENSIM X PRO
Anyway.. I need to remove them all and everything related to SQL.
Thanks for any response!

SELECT [TimeSheetConsolidatedId]
,[EmployeeId]
,[ActivityId]
,[StartedAt]
,[HoursWorked]
FROM [SR].[dbo].[TimeSheetConsolidated_All]
WHERE [StartedAt] > '2012-08-06 00:00:01.000'
AND [StartedAt] < '2012-08-010 23:59:59.000'
AND [ActivityId] = 10
ORDER BY [EMPLOYEEID]
This displays days that all employees have worked with a certain activity ID. Max 4 days Min 0 days. What I would be looking to do is remove any Employees from the table if they had worked all 4 days leaving only the Employees that have had a day or more off.
I might have approached this the wrong way but it is the only way I can think of getting the results I want.
I'm trying to run this as a Single Query in SQL Server Manager 2008.
Attachment shoes to Employees one with 4 entries who would be removed from the view the other with 3 who would remain the focus of the report.

Using VS05 SP1 Pro SQL Express€¦
In converting a program from VS03/MSDE, long ago I installed SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services and everything was fine. Windows Update has recently been failing to install SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services SP2. After no answers from the forums, and logs that were of no help, I decided to uninstall SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services and reinstall SQL 2005 Express (basic version). As a test run, I did it on a desk top, no problems what so ever.
However, on my laptop, it has been a nightmare.
Question 1) in control panel, add/remove programs, all of SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services uninstalled fine except one item - I am unable to uninstall MS SQL 2005 Backward Compatibility, getting the error message
A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file
c:windowsinstallersqlserver2005_bc.msi
That file is not on the hard disk.
After installing SQL 2005 Express (the basic version), this problem persists and I cannot uninstall MS SQL 2005 Backward Compatibility for the same reason.
How can I get rid of MS SQL 2005 Backward Compatibility?
Question 2) Windows update still is trying to download and install SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services SP2, even though I have uninstalled it. How to manually get rid of whatever settings are triggering this?
Thanks!
Bob

I was working on some software that required SQL Server Database so I inserted the SQL cd and installed a new instance turns out all I need to do is create a new database under the current instance. How do I remove this obsolete instance. I already disabled the service but I'd like to remove it from the Ent. Mgr as well.
TIA

We have tested mirroring with success.
Now we want to completly disable mirroring, and have done this on all mirrored database.
It seems though that the server stille maintains the mirror endpoints, hence you can do a "telnet localhost 5022".
How can we disable the mirroring endpoints ?

I had a server with SQL Server 7.0
I installed a named instance of SQL Server 2000 and then i passed all my DB
of the 7.0 instance to the 2000 instance.
Then i removed the 7.0 instance, that was the default instance.
So at the moment there is only the 2000 version, but it isn't the default
instance
Can the 2000 instance become the default instance? (So that clients can
connect to it simply through computer name, and not creating an alias)
thanks

I have uninstalled the CTP version of the SQL Server express so that I can install the released version but CTP version is still listed in the add/remove program list but without the change/remove button. I have been to different sites to find information on cleaning this up and I have ran all the uninstall tool I can find but the problem still prevails. I cannot install the released version without completely getting rid of the CTP version. Please help anyone.
Thanks

I need help,
I am having a hard time removing my SQL instance inside the Add/Remove program. After i select the SQL Instance name and then I tried to remove it but it won't allow me to delete it. There isn't any error message or whatsoever. Actually, when i try to log it in my SQL Management studio, that certain sql instance name is not existing according to the message box. Is there any way to remove the Sql Instance in my system?
I appreciate your help, Thanks

i have sql server 2005 express running. during install, i had issues with a system dll that i found answers online and resolved. i am still very green, but i know much more now than i did at the time. i believe that as a result of the partial then failed installs i have multiple instances either fully or partially installed. when i am in the sql server mgmt express environment, it lists two sql engines. i only ever use one, and would like to safely remove the second without damaging or corrupting anything done with the other instance.
my reasons for wanting to do this are twofold. first, i would like to free up the drive space taken up by the second instance. (i am a stickler for clean harddrive mgmt and maintenance). second, now that i have used the software and am somewhat more familiar with it, i would consider installing a second, intentional instance so that i may attempt to better customize some of the install-time settings and configurations.
can anybody give me any pointers/ guide me in the direction of information on how to SAFELY go about this?
thank you in advance for any help.

I created a second SQL2000 instance on a Windows 2000 server. The strange thing is that I can create an ODBC connection to the default instance but cannot for the new named instance. If I try from a client that has SQL installed on it, I can see both instances. Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks,

Is it possible to rename a named instance?
We have a vendor product that can only handle up to 18 characters for the server name and the instance name (we did not know this when we created the named instance) and of course our combined name is 19 characters, so it trys to pass the 18 charater name and then fails with the following error:
[LOG] Unable to read local eventlog (reason: The data area passed to a system call is too small)
So, can i rename the instance, or do i have to create a new named instance?
Thanks

with sql server 2000, it is possible to have multiple instances on one server. Now I want to make the second server a subscriber for specific tables before there are some tests/major changes. Has anyone experience with this on the same server. Note : sql server subscriptions between different servers in sql server 7 is not the issue.

I created a named instance of SQL Server 2000 on my notebook. I inadvertantly set the trusted SQL connection to Windows Authentication. This is creating a problem with COM because of username and password. I want to reset it to use SQL Server authentication but I can't find where to do it. Can I do this or do I have to delete this instance and create a new one.

We're trying to decide if we should use a single large instance of SQL Server or multiple instances on the same server. This is for a dev environment.Have to limit max RAM per instance so no instance grabs it all.There will be I/O contention and CPU contention between instances since the different instances won't coordinate with each other.It limits the available RAM for In-Memory tables..It sets lower limits to the amount of RAM available for any given query, causing artificial "contention" even when there's nothing else running at the time.

My issue is that: here have two datamirror servers, and when the first fail, mirror needs to assume with the same name.
I'll try explain: SD01 - Primary, SD02 - mirror. If SD01 fails, SD02 assumes called SD01. By the way, the instances are in same domain, but not in same computer.

Dear SQL Guru,I just found out this morning that my SQL Server box had been added 1more instance. Below is the example:PPAPP0075FINANCE (Old instance)PPAPP0075ACCOUNTING (Old instance)PPAPP0075Accounting (new instance)This is a case sensitive MS Sql server (third party vendor App). TheACCOUNTING instance is the one we have been using for our currentapplications. I found out the new one(Accounting) when I scan thenetwork by using OSQL -L utility. However, when NT engineers tried toverify the physical files location ofAccounting, and it did not exist. When I tried to register it and itdoes not appear from Enterprise Manager.Please keep in mind NT Engineers have been monkey around on this serverquite a lot in last a few weeks, especially modifying Registry keys.My question is, where did PPAPP0075Acounting come from? We never evertried to install any more instance on this server.Please help,Thanks,Silaphet,
