I have an application made in VB6 that is running with MSDE (SQL 7) and my question is if I upgrade the database server to SQL express it will not have any compatibility issues...
ALL computers are XP except for a very new one that I have not installed yet which comes with windows Vista.
Any comments will be really appreciated.

When attemping to install SQL 2005 Express using the following command line arguments
/qb UPGRADE=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=MY_INSTANCE
or
/qb UPGRADE=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=MY_INSTANCE SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD=MY_PASSWORD
the following error occurs.
Your upgrade is blocked. For more information about upgrade support, see the "Version and Edition Upgrades" and "Hardware and Software Requirements" topics in SQL Server 2005 Setup Help or SQL Server 2005 Books Online.
Edition check:
Your upgrade is blocked because of edition upgrade rules. For more information about edition upgrades, see the Version and Edition Upgrades topic in SQL Server 2005 Setup Help or SQL Server 2005 Books Online.
The following version and editions have been verified.
1. .NET 2.0 installed
2. Windows XP SP2
3. MSDE 8.00.2039(SP4)
4. all MSDE databases are owned by sa
5. Instance and SQLAgent running under user that is member of Administrators
What are the possible reasons this error is occurring?
Hi. I'm trying to get full-text search working on my SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services and am having problems. I thought that I installed it correctly, and when I look in the services running, I see it SQL Server Fulltext Search(MSSQLSERVER). Also note that I have SQL Server 2005 Standard installed on this same laptop. I don't know if that Full text Search applies to the Standard, Express or both.
What I do see is that if I connect to the database engine named <mylaptop>, I can see the version is 9.0.1399 and I can see the check box to enable full-text indexing in a particular databases properties. When I run SELECT FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('IsFullTextInstalled'), I get a 1.
However, when I connect to the engine name <mylaptop>SQLExpress, I se the version is 9.0.3042, and I don't see the same check-box to enable full-text indexing. When I run SELECT FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('IsFullTextInstalled'), I get a 0.
I've never tried this before so I know I'm probably missing something basic. But, I have searched quite a bit and not found my answer. So, I'm looking to you for help.
Thanks in advance.
John.
I have Sql Server Express installed and now wants to upgrade to Sql Server Express SP1. Do I first have to uninstall my current version of Sql Server Express or can I just run the install?
Thanks!
Hello,
When upgrading an MSDE Service Pack 4 named instance to SQL Express we were able to use the command:
setup.exe /qb- UPGRADE=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=<instance> SECURITYMODE=SQL
and the upgrade would complete successfully accepting the SECURITYMODE as SQL Server Authentication (mixed mode). If we excluded the /qb- silent parameter the upgrade dialog would allow us to select Windows Authentication or SQL Server Authentication.
It appears that the SQL Express Service Pack 1 upgrade is behaving differently. When attempting to run the same command to upgrade MSDE SP4 to SQL Express Service Pack 1 the upgrade fails when running in silent mode stating that Windows Authentication must be chosen. If we remove the SECURITYMODE=SQL from the command we do not receive an error since the upgrade would now default to Windows Authentication. Running the same command without the /qb silent parameter the upgrade will not allow us to choose SQL Server Authentication (mixed mode) - only Windows Authentication in the upgrade dialog. When we continue with the Windows Authentication selected the upgrade completes and the named instance appears to still be in mixed mode (LoginMode=2) and we can connect to the instance using both a trusted and non-trusted connection.
Has anyone encountered the difference in behavior between the SQL Express upgrade and the SQL Express Service Pack 1 upgrade where you are required to choose Windows Authentication mode to complete the upgrade? Are there other command-line parameters that should be used to upgrade to SQL Express SP1 to be able to specify SQL Server Authentication without any errors being returned?
Thanks
I have SQL Express SP1 installed for some instances. I would like to upgrade all the instances to SP2 at once in silent mode, without specifying the product selection and other options. Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
We are currently using VWD and Sql Server Express 2005. There is now SSE SP1 available (as well as another version with additional software). So, I have some questions:
1) Is the only difference between SSE and SSE SP1 just the addition of Management Studio Express?
2) Can I just upgrade to SSE SP1 separately, (It installed automatically when I installed VWD), and will VWD still work correctly with all the databases I have already created?
3) We are considering upgrading to full Sql Server in the near future. I have heard that there are problems if we have Management Studio Express installed and then try to install full Sql Server. Is this true?
Thanks for your help,
Claude.
Hello,
I am currently hosting my ecommerce site on a dedicated server with dual AMD processors and 2 gigs of ram. I have on average 20 people on the site at one time.
on this server i have sql express, from which i understand, only utilizes one of the processors and 1gig of ram. I have the choice to pay an extra 150 a month to have my host put sql workgroup on my system.
My question is, will i notice any kind of real performace boost by upgrading. Or at the level that i am at, there wont be much difference?
Any help would be very useful.
Thanks
I am planning to create an application in SQL Express Advanced SP2, and later upgrading to Standard Edition. The Express SP2 Readme states somewhat unclearly that this might not be possible, that upgrading must be done prior to installing SP2, and then SP2 can be applied. I'm confused about my options.
Right now, I need to use Express Advanced for the reporting capabilities, etc., but the only available download I can find is Express Advanced SP2. If I install and use this, will I later be able to upgrade "seamlessly" to Standard Edition? Or should I install an earlier version of Express Advanced? Also, I haven't seen a lot of advice about the "seamless" upgrade from Express to other editions. If any help can be provided to answer the first question and/or point me toward upgrade documentation, it would be appreciated.
I have two questions:
1- when install SQL Server it give a warning mesage that the IIS is not installed in server. I have a web application in a server and the SQLServer is installed in another server. Should I install the IIS in SQL Server (server) (even the web application in another server) or not??? Is it highly recomended or required to install the IIS?
2- How can I upgrade the Express Edition to another edition? And what the editions that I can upgrade Express to edition?
Hello. I want to Upgrade my database that is in SQL server Express Edition to SQL server 2005 standard.
I am using Report server. So my question is, is there something I should do before I make the upgrade? or it is a clean upgrade? (meaning: only following wizard instructions).
Thanks.
Good day all, I apologize if this is somewhere and I didnt search enough. I currently have a nice internal application that provides company wide visibility into some key data. Im now being asked to create some reports from an Oracle 9i platform in SQL 2005 Reports Server. However the ORACLE data extension is not allowed in the express edition so Im stuck for a moment. I would like to do an inplace upgrade of my existing MS SQL server from 2005 express to 2005 standard. However, I am a little concerned it might break some things. Has anyone achieved this with great results, a mixed bag, or totally blown up their server? I would like to know the good, bad and then down right ugly details of this if there are any. I am currently running a windows 2003 server with MS SQL 2005 Express (Advanced edition to get the Report Server in there). Is it at all possible to do an inplace upgrade from Express to Standard edition and not lose any connectivity permissions, reports server and so on? Would there be 2 seperate installations one for SQL Server and another for the Report server?
Thanks in advance for all your replies, Ive used this forum on many occasions and learned alot along the way. I hope someone here can help.
I have SQL Server 2005 Express that was installed with SharePoint Server 2007. I'm trying to upgrade it to SQL Server 2005 Standard edition and it gives this "Edition Change Check (Warning)" message:
"To change an existing instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to a different edition of SQL Server 2005, you must run SQL Server 2005 Setup from the command prompt and include the SKUUPGRADE=1 parameter."
I tried "setup skuupgrade=1" from the command prompt, but it's giving me the same message.
Can someone tell me how to correctly make the upgrade?
Sam
Hello all:
We are currently running SQL Server 7.0 and were wondering if an upgrade to 2005 Express would be possible.
We have several applications which rely on the data stored in said database app and would like to minimize the downtime.
Is this even possible? Anything to watch out for? Differences in data access?
Thanks,
John

So I've tried today to upgrade a SQL Express instance on a machine where "proper" SQL has already been upgraded.
It fails.
The error code is 2259. Database: Table(s) Update failed
So I thought I'd uninstall SQL Express altogether and just do a full install. But it cannot find the MSI files to uninstall itself.
The part of the log file referring to it appears to be

I plan to upgrade from SQL Server Express Beta 2 to RTM. Since this requires and uninstall and re-install process (not just upgrade), what are the steps I need to take to backup my database in Express Beta 2 and then import it into the new RTM version? I have scripts to recreate the tables and stored procedures, but how do I get the data migrated?Thanks in advance. Cheers, Kris.

What is the best way to upgrade a SQL SERVER 2005 EXPRESS to the STANDARD version?
Hello
Server Details:
OS => Windows Server 2003
SQL => SQL Server 2005
Client Machines:
OS => WinXP sp2
SQL => 2000, 2005 express
The developers at work connect remotely to the server. Some of them have the "client SQL 2005 express" and others are using "SQL 2000"
Over the next week I plan to upgrade all the developers to 2005 Standard.
I have performed an upgrade of '2005 express' to '2005 standard' and encountered no problems. However I have no experience upgrading the 2000 client.
Can anyone suggest a strategy (fresh install/upgrade)or highlight any pitfalls that I should avoid.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions offered.
Regards
Toby
Hi,
When I did Upgrade MSDE1.0 SP4 To SQL 2005 Express Ed.
i Use this Command "setup.exe /qb /settings template.ini"
I Changed Only this Option in "Template.ini"
SECURITYMODE=SQL
SAPWD=ABCD#1234
In finally, this error raised. But, no problem in use
<Error Message(Click)> (Message Text is Displayed in Korean..)
And I tryed to upgrade MSDE 2.0 SP3a To SQL 2005 Express Ed too.
In this case, no error raised.
Is there any problem in default language?
(Default language is English in MSDE 1.0 SP4, and Korean in SQL 2005 Express Ed..
And, it is not available to change the language to Korean in MSDE 1.0 SP4)
thanks.
Has any one had experience with upgrading MSDE2000 with no instance to SQL2005 Express?
Thanks

Hello,
I have been using the express edition for months, and just upgraded to the pro edition (after uninstalling completely the express).
So far everything is working perfectly, including my connection to the database. But when I look at the connection string in the web config I can see that the datasource is still SQLEXPRESS... Does it mean a sql server express version is still running ? How should I "upgrade" my database to the full edition version?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Greetings,
I am about to let users upgrade their SQL Express installations to Standard Edition. They will all run the upgrade program by a command line argument that I will supply along with a setup.ini that I will supply. Is it possible by simple means "hack" the setup.ini file in order to only allow upgrade to x86 Standard Edition? We have DVDs with all kinds of editions for both x86 and 64-bit and I would not want the users to accidentally upgrade to Enterprise Edition or a 64-bit Standard edition.
Is this possible to attain by simply means or do I have to upgrade all clients myself?
Regards,
Harald Hedlund
Hi
I want to Upgrade my express instance "Officeservers" to standard. I have installed Sql Server 2005 standard, but
the MOSS 2007 installs default Officeservers to express. The reason to upgrade is to use the maintenance plans to backup the instance. I have a report server on a different instance (standard).
Do I upgrade with SKUUPGRADE=1 and this is all ?
Do I need to run sp2 after this and does this affect my report server ?
Thanks for your help.
regards
Ivar
Hi Guys,
Having some problems Upgrading from SQL Express 2005 SP2 to SQL 2005 Standard. I'm getting the following:
Name: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
Reason: Your upgrade is blocked. For more information about upgrade support, see the "Version and Edition Upgrades" and "Hardware and Software Requirements" topics in SQL Server 2005 Setup Help or SQL Server 2005 Books Online.
Build version check:
Your upgrade is blocked because the existing component is a later version than the version you are trying to upgrade to. To modify an existing SQL Server component, go to Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel, select the component you would like to modify, and then click Change/Remove.
Pretty sure that I have to have SQL 2005 Std w/SP2 but I don't have a CD with it on. Is there a way that I can create one so that I can upgrade the SQL Instance In-Place.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have 2 MSDE 2000 Instances installed on Windows 2003 Server STd w/ SP1.
The application relating to the default instance is being upgraded and will require SQL 2005 Express.
What is the best approach? So the named instance of MSDE 2000 still functions correctly.
Upgrade default instance of MSDE to SQL 2005, or install SQL 2005 Express to own path and restore the DB accross? Then remove the Default Instance of MSDE 2000.
Both MSDE 2000 Instances are listed in Add/Remove Programs.
Thanks
Can I migrate from SQL Exp. Edition 2005 to the Standard version, can that be done? If not, what do I need to know? If yes, what should I be looked out for?

Hi all,
My question might be a little bit unusual, but is it possible to upgrade SQL 2005 Express (the free version of SQL) to SQL 2000 Server without any loss of functionality?
Where do I have to pay attention to when doing this?
Thanks in advance!

I just downloaded the "SQL Server 2005 Express SP1", but I found that there is no upgrade option, it will just install a new instance of SQL 2005 Express. So, I just curious to know, how do I upgrade to SP1 smoothly?
Thank you!
I have just done an in-place upgrade from MSDE to SQL Express with Advance Services for my customer. After upgrading, the program was not enable to connect to SQL Express and threw an error (the program connect to the server through OLEDB provider)
Code -2147217843 (80040e4d) - IDispatch error #3149 - Source : Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
It only works if I replace the string "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1" with "Provider=SQLNCLI.1". I wonder why I have to do that because in my working PC and other customers, I don't get this.
The customer's PC use Windows 2003 Server for Small Business Server SP1
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I am hiring a server at a hosting company. This server contains a dozen websites that i made and they all have their own database.
Well, i received a message from my hosting company that they go to remove the SQL 2000 Standard and replace it by SQL 2005 Express.
What do I have to think about that? Can this give database connection problems?
Thanks for your answers.
