Multiple Sql Instances
Dec 1, 2007
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.

Hi,
I think this is a question for the specialists among us.
Can I use one general reporting server (installed on instance MAINREPORTING)
for multiple customers who all have their own sql instance (CUST1, CUST2, CUST3, ..)
I would use UserAuthenciation on the reportserver url to display the specific reports customers can use.
Is this possible, and what do i have to take care off concerning installation and/or configuration (especially on
the reporting side) ?
Greetings
Vinnie

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,
Ken Nicholson

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.

According to the Task Manager, on my SBS 2003 Server, I'm running multiple instances of SQL. How do I determine which instance(s) are required to maintain server stability, and which are not. My Server resource use continues to be a perennial problem. Please advise.

Can SQL Server be setup such that one instance on a server is using SSL and another instance is not? Or is SSL a server-wide all-or-nothing issue?

If I want to install 2 instances of SQL2000, will it install the SQL2K executable files (inn folder) onto 2 different folders, or all instances in one folder but the databases are in different folders.
Thanks

I am running SQL 7.0 as the default instance and SQL 2K as a named instance. Each is using a different port....7.0 is using port 1433 and 2K is using 1024. Everything appears to be up and running fine on the server. However, I am not able to access the 2K instance from a client. I have tried to use both TCP IP and named pipes setting them up using the server network utility and the client network utility. No luck anywhere. I continue to get connection errors...check network documentation...
ANY IDEAS??????

Currently, I am running SQL Server 2000 with the default instance. I know SQL2K can run up to 16 instances simultaneously. I would like to add another instance but am unable to find documentation on how to add it. Books online tells me "about" multiple instances, but not how to set it up. I've obviously missed something somewhere. Can someone please direct me to a document that will help explain "how" to add another instance?
Thanks for your time and your help.

We have a DTS package that is submitted every minute by a SQL Agent job (2000). We see instances where before the first job is completed, the second one starts running.
Has anyone encountered this type of behavior before?

Has anyone run SQL 2005 Standard Edition, 2 or more instances on one server... where you got the extended memory up to 2.8 GB on EACH instance of SQL Server? I've done the 2.8GB game on boxes with ONE instance, but don't think I tried it on a multi-instance box, to get the 2.8GB RAM each. Thanks, Bruce

Dear Listers,
1.) Is it possible to install Analysis Services on multiple SQL Server 2000 instances? If it is, then can you instruct me as to how to perform the install. If it is not possible, then does one restrict access to cube data via the Database Role Manager?
ie. The host box is - DOILAB30 with Analysis Services & SP2
Instance - DOILAB30/DOILAB30_FIN (Can AS be installed here?)
Do I severely restrict the membership of OLAP Admins?
2). Re. AS maintenance. - How do I backup and restore OLAP dbs/cubes etc. Following a restore, what issues, such as cube users/permissions should I be aware of? (if any).
TIA
John

I have two instances installed on my server. I have one database on the default instance and two very large reporting databases on the other instance.
Will having the default instance running affect the performance of the non-default instance where my reporting databases are?

I am using sql2012 with partitiondb custom installation over 6 dbs on 4 servers, ~200GB per db. I am looking for the perfect graphic tool (similar to Perfmon+Activity Monitor) where I can monitor a wide-scope SQL environment. I am interested in data / log / table / index growth, buffer cache hit ratio, average wait time, physical/logical reads/writes and such. I am interested in real-time / time-range metrics. I know I can issue immediate queries against dm_os_performance_counters / dm_os_buffer_descriptors / dm_exec_query_stats and get some of the relevant data, but is this the only way?Also, for your opinnion, what are the most crucial metrics to monitor when dealing with multiple dbs?

Hello,
There are several instances in SQL Server. I use RDA method to access SQL Server from mobile devices. But RDA method only gets the server IP,not the instance name. So, how can I define RDA to access to the instance that I need?

Ok, I am new to Reporting Services but am facing an issue today.
A developer decided to consolidate two ReportServer databases onto a single 2005 database instance with different names. Fine. But he is trying to get one Reporting Services instance to somehow process both sets of databases. (ie. ReportServer and ReportServer_dev.) My opinion is that he is irrational. I would think that he would need to have two separate instances of Reporting Services (running on one server) with each configured to access one of the two ReportServer databases. Is that correct or am I all wet?
Thanks,
Michael

I am looking for information on setting up multiple instances of SQL 2014 on a single server and then adding each of those instances into availability groups. Is this supported?
Currently I have a test environment with 3 SQL 2014 servers and a domain controller. The 3 SQL servers are in a WSFC and I have an availability group setup for 3 databases. This setup works great. Now to add another level of complexity to this, I would like to install another SQL instance on each of the 3 SQL servers and then build another availability group for this new instance. Is this possible?

When multiple instances of SQL 2005 are installed on a cluster or standalone server, is it best to have each instance configured to listen on a different port or will one port for all do? We don't use port 1433 and the port we do use is blocked at the firewall. I'd like to standardize on one port for all instances but I'm not sure of the ramifications. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Hello all,
I am trying to built a general demo machine for our multiple resellers.
Is it possible to have multiple database instances (one per reseller) with each of them their own reporting instance, running on the same server (also same IIS). In our DNS and in the IIS settings i will reroute the specific reseller to his specific reporting url (eg: http://www.demosite.reseller1.com/reports (this is not a real url), will be rerouted via dns to the
specific reporting url for reseller one ... and so on.)
Each reseller must be able to has it own reports, subscriptions, models and access to reportbuilder.
Can this be accomplished ?
I have tried already a few times but get stuck when i want to upload reports/datasources to the specific websites. Also i have encountered the fact that if i succeed in uploading data to one reporting site and i want to upload different data to
another site, the initial site is also changed with the data of the second upload.
Can anyone point me into the right direction how to solve this problem .
Greetings
Vinnie
