I have a sql installation disk that automatically puts in a product key during installation.
We have already used that product key and need to use the disk with a new product key.
When the installation gets to the Registration Information window, the product key is already populated in the field and it does not allow you to change it.
Is there anyway to change it?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Steve writes "Probably not a tough question if I wasn't a newbie:
I have two copies of MSSQL 2005 standard edition, intended for installation on a dual proc db server. The server is physically placed in a remote hosting service.
Since I need to install remotely, it's non-trivial how to get the bits over there. I could fed-ex the CDs to the hosting service and have them feed the machine.
However they suggested that they simply use their MSDN version, which I accepted.
But it turns out the MSDN version setup has a pre-populated product key, and does not allow me to entire my own product key(s).
So the questions:
1) besides the product key thing, is there any difference between the MSDN version and the retail version?
2) does it matter that I enter my product key(s) during installation, or do I need to simply posess the keys to be legit?
3) On a dual-proc system, must two keys entered to activate operation on each processor?
So in general, I'm confused as to the technical dependence of installation on the product keys. After $12k I kinda want to use them."
Hello,
Maybe is it a newbie question : it is the first time I install a SQL Server licence purchased with the eopen program.
My SQL server licence is a french one. I purchased the correct media kit.
During the installation, I am asked the name, and the company name but the product key is greyed with product id which begin with "RY62Q". I guess it is normal (?)
But later on, when it comes to installing SQL server itself, i get a message telling that my product ID is incorrect. (id : 28021; event type : sqlcasqlcax.cpp@DetectProductID@DetectProductID@x6d75).
I tried dozens of times :
-with another admin account
-after cleaning up the temp and program files subdirectories
-after cleaning up the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server,HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftMSFTESQLInstMap; there was nothing anyway)
If it helps, I first try the installation from a wrong media. As I had no key, I went not far away.
I did received the authorisation number etc from Microsoft but I have no clue of what have to do from that.
As you understood, any help would be appreciated.

How can I enter NULL manually in one of the rows in Sql Server database. Those rows does not contain any data.
View 3 Replies View RelatedCan someone help me to understand something about SQL Server? I will use Access for comparison.
Suppose you have a SQL Server database and you want users to be able to enter data into the fields just like you could with an Access database and forms. How would you set that up with SQL Server? I have noticed that you can convert an Access database into SQL Server, but you still need to use Access forms to enter data into the tables stored in SQL Server.
What if you wanted to create an SQL Server database from the ground up and set it up for user entry?
What am I missing here?

Hello experts
I'm trying to enter some data into a table to run some tests. Whenever I open the table, I can enter data into all my fields *except* for the fields that I defined as Binary data types. I've tried to enter 0, 1, true, false... I always get the same error...
"Invalid value for cell...
The changed value in this cell was not recognized as valid.
Error Message: You cannot use the Result pane to set this Field data to values other than NULL"
Any ideas on this? I thought Binary was True or False? Is it the way I'm trying to enter data? I'm not familiar with SQL code and I just need to get a few rows filled up with data so I can test using gridview to pull the data onto a webpage.
Thanks
Hi,I need to set up a generic table in Oracle that allows users to enterdata that can later be retrieved in reports.I was thinking of a 3 column table in this structure:DATE,ITEM,VALUEfiguring that you can store anything in this way because ITEM can beanything and you can have multiple instances of a particular value byhaving a new date.Does that seem reasonable?In any case, what are my user front end options? I was thinking aMicrosoft Access database but its not ideal because not everyone herehas Access?Can you do it with Excel? Or what other options are there as a simpleuser front end to enter the data?Thanks for any advice.Kim

I want to upgrade 5 SQL Server 6.5 production boxes to SQL Server 7. I got
SQL Server 7.0 pricing and licensing list from
www.microsoft.com/sql/70/gen/pricing.htm and I think I should buy 5 SQL
Server 7.0 Combined Product/Version/Competitive Upgrade (Since I have been using SQL Server 6.5, I don’t need to buy the full product. Is this right?). I am not sure if
the upgrade offer (the price is much lower than the full product offer $699/$1399) includes the SQL Server 7.0 both software and access license.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi,
I am interested in opinions on the following,
main(product_id, short_text, price, type)
productTypes(type_id, type)
productTables(type_id, tableName)
productA(product_id, field1, field2)
productB(product_id, field1, field2)
To retrieve all products of type 'A', one must know the table name, in this case 'productA'.
Here is one method.
Create a table that contains the table name that corresponds to each product type, thus the stored procedure only needs to recieve the type_id which can be used to obtain the name of the respective table.
how can i get the product of two fields in sql server?
ie. i want to get like this, - select price, qty, product(price,qty) as amount from xxx - like this

We are building a system that has mobile clients (laptop with XP and tablet with XP). These clients have data moving back and forth to a centralised n-tier server based system. The communications is proprietory and are very low bandwidth (5 KByte/sec).
We've decided that the best approach to handling both the reference data (ranging from trivial to a complex list of items - about 2 million rows) and the day-to-day operational data is with a database product rather than attempting to handle it ourselves within code.
The question is - what SQL platform to use? SQL Everywhere seems to be a fairly good choice except that it does not seem to support stored procedures. SQL Express is another possibility but there are concerns about the size of the footprint and managing the database engine and the database itself.
The users of the mobile client are considered computer illiterate and would not be able to manage any database administrative tasks. They only come back to base every three to six months. History has shown remote management of the machine has proven difficult (if not impossible) via the low bandwidth connection.
The machines have 512MB of RAM and only 40GB of disk. They have to support XP, Office, our client, and our GIS client. What is the best answer?
Traditionally we would have used MSDE.
Regards
Paul
