Create A Named Instance On Top Of A Default Instance
Hi
I've never had to do this, but when I downloaded the Web Workflow Approvals Starter Kit, it requested that I install the database into a User Instance of .SQLEXPRESS.
Now the problem is, I've installed it onto a default instance, so I was wondering whether you can create a named instance on top of a default instance... and if so, how would you do that?
Cheers
Chris

Migrating From SQL2K Named Instance To SQL2K5 Default Instance
Hi, I have a task in hand to migrate (upgrade) from SQL2K named instance to SQL2K5 default instance. There are many intranet applications touching current SQL2K. I would like to perform this upgrade such that I don't have to touch any application code - meaning I don't have to change the connectionstring to point to new Default instance. How can I achieve this? So, in otherwords, here is what I want to achieve: Current Server: SQL2K: SERVER_AINSTANCE_A (named instance) Upgraded Server: SQL2K5: SERVERB (default instance) If I have both default, I could achive this by setting up DNS alias after migration done so that any call for SERVER_A would point to SERVER_B. But in my case, I don't have SERVER_A, I have named instance. Is there any solution? Regards, Vipul

Named Instance Problems (Default Of 7.0/2000 Instance)
I am trying to set up a Named Instance of SQL 2000 on the same machine that has a default instance of SQL 7.0. The setup always completes and I am able to register the Named Instance of the SQL Server with which it was installed on. However, when I try to connect the users to the database, with both windows and SQL authentication, I receive a SQL server not found error. I have tried an alias setup as well as physically specifying the port number in settup up an ODBC connection. Has anyone ran into similar problems? Also, has anyone been able to successfully complete the process as mentioned above?

Migrating From Named Instance To Default Instance
I installed SQL Server 2005 recently on a cluster. I didn't go for the default instance and instead I named the instance option. Now I would like to migrate everything from the named instance to the default instance, which I haven't yet installed. Is this an easy process? What about the logins and the maintenance plans and jobs? Is there anything else I need to be aware of?

Connection String For Default Instance Of SQL Server 2005, On A Box Also Running A Named Instance Of SQL Server 2000
The box I am trying to connect to is running two instances of SQL Server. There is a SQL Server 2005 instance which is the default. There is a SQL Server 2000 instance which is named 'SQLSERVER'. I can connect to the SQL Server 2000 instance no problem:<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPCSQLSERVER;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> However, I am having trouble connecting to the Default SQL Server 2005 instance. I have tried: <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> but it doesn't work. I have tried explicitly setting SQL Server 2005 to use port 1434 (as SQL Server 2000 is running on port 1433), and then used: <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC,1434;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> but this doesn't work either. Am I mssing something here? Any help much appreciated Thanks...

Default Versus Named Instance With Custom App
Are there some general recommendations/guidelines/best practices for choosing to run your custom application against a default or named instance of SQL Server? We have an application, which in it's stand-alone/local configuration, installs an MSDE default instance if it does not already exist, and runs against this instance. In addition, regardless of whether or not it installs the default instance, it expects to run against the default instance. We are looking into migrating to SQL Server 2005 Express (Compact almost fits our needs, but not quite), and would like to pay more attention to the best solution regarding the use of instances, default versus named. Thanks

For ISVs who distribute/install SQL Server Express with their software, what is the best practice when it comes to choosing between installing a default or a named instance? From what I can tell, I should install a named instance, so that the named instance can be uninstalled when my software is uninstalled without hosing other named instances or the default instance, but I'm not 100% sure of this.

Cannot Create Named Instance Virtual Directory
We regularly deploy our product to client's sites and install a named instance of SQL Server 2005 and Reporting Services on their Windows Server. We use the instance name "lgs" during SQL setup and it automatically ensures we have a http://server/Reports$lgs and http://server/ReportServer$lgs to work with. A recent deployment had some trouble with their OS and we have needed to reinstall the Reporting Services component of SQL. After reinstalling, the virtual directories for Reports$lgs and ReportServer$lgs are gone. I have used the Reporting Services Configuration tool to create new virtual directories but when I enter Reports$lgs or ReportServer$lgs as the names I get an error. The error says that the virtual directories cannot be created due to illegal characters in the names. How can I create the same virtual dirs that would have normally been created during initial installation? Thanks, - Jason

Named Instance Problem
Hi everybody, Here is my problem: I'm setting up a new computer with SQL 2005 to replace the old one with SQL 2000. What I want to do is to transfer all the data from the SQL Server 2000 to the 2005 then rename the 2005 from the temp name to the same name as the SQL 2000, so all the pages can connect to the 2005 instead of the 2000. The problem right now is that all of the pages that that are being published within the network is calling the SQL 2000 by it instance only eg: Data Source = MainSQLServer. With the SQL 2005 I can't just call the instance in the connection string, it requires that the computer's name and the instance be provided, eg: \computer_nameinstance_name. I can't go back and edit every single one of the pages being served. So I need to configure the SQL 2005 in a way that all of the existing pages can access it with the same connection string that is in use right now to connect to the SQL 2000. Thanks for the help!

Creating A New Named Instance
As understand it, the only way to add another SQL Express 2005 named instance is to run SQLEXPR32.EXE again. However, when you to, right at the end, you get the following error message: "An installation package for the product MS SQLK Server VSS Writer cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'SQLWriter.msi'" So, I deleted all named instances, and the repeated the procedure and did not get this error and it installed fine. Obviously, I would not be able to delete all instances, but in this case it didn't matter. So, here are my questions: Question 1) Am I correct you must rerun SQLEXPR32.EXE to create a new named instance? (I think the answer is yes) Question 2) Is there a way to rename an existing named instance? (I think the answer is no) Question 3) The install/uninstall for SQLEXPR32.EXE is incredibly buggy. I have spend days trying to remove an named instance with no succes. Once your remove all named instances from Control Pannel, you stll have not removed SQL Express 2005. How do you remove it? We are considering other avenues because of the incredible problems with this product. Also, we inadvertantly installed SQL Express 2005 Advanced Services, when we meant to install SQL Express 2005, so we would like to uninstall Advance Serviuces and reinstall SQL Express 2005 Question 4) I am switching from the Outlook Express newsgroups to these groups. In the context of these groups, what is the difference betwee a Forum and a Newsgroup? Thanks Bob

Removing Named Instance
We want to rename our instance and I understand there isn't a straightforward way to do so. I'm prepared to run SQLEXPR again to create the new named instance. However, I'm not clear on how to remove the other named instance once the data files have been moved over. I do not want the old service "SQL Server (<old_named_instance>)" to be running. I would also like the files "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1" removed along with the registry entries for this instance. I tried running SQLEXPR with a /? option but that invoked the installer and did not give me the command line options. Is there a simple way to remove a specific named instance? Thanks.

How Can I Get The Port Of A Named Instance Of SQL Server
Thanks for Microsoft's Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2003 that make the security much stronger. However, besides the invisible benefit so far, I have become the victim of this security policy. I have several named instances of SQL 7/2000 installed in my machine. They are not visible out of the Microsoft new fire wall. I need to access the instances from outside the fire wall, but I don't know which port I should open for the instances. From SQL online, the default instance of SQL server is connected through TCP/IP by default port 1433. I could successful open that port and made the default instance visible to outside. However, the port 1433 doesn't work for the named instances. SQL online said, the port for named instance is dynamically (by default) chosen the first time the instance is started. So, actually, I have no way to know the port. Is there anyway that I can check the database or somewhere to get the port that is used by the named instance? Thanks for any input and recommendation.

Named Sql Instance Not Accessible Remotly
Hi All, We have two Baan erp servers 1) SQL2005 on windows 2003 server 2) SQL2000 on windows 200 server. SQL 2005 server has two database instances, one being the default and the other one as a named instance. We have been trying to access the data in these two database instances from the second server for our baan erp application on it. Now, we are able to see the data for default instance, but if we try to fetch the data from named instance we end up getting dberror 17. We tried to register the named instance on the second server using "new sql server registration wizard" in sql 2000 enterprise manager, but there also the list only shows the default instance from sql 2005 server. I tried to type in the named instance and register (both windows and sql server authentication), but end up getting error "Database instance doesn't exist or access denied". So, for some reason, the named instance from sql 2005 server is not getting published on the network. Please suggest some ways to get around this issue. thanks, Jatin

Odd Issue Connecting To A Named Instance.
Hi everyone, Please forgive me for the newbie question, I've done almost all of my DBA work on Oracle(on UNIX so I'm learning alot of AD stuff too) and am new to MS SQL Server. I've got a SQL 2005 standard server that I'm trying to get to act as a publisher for a SQL 2005 Express instance, and I think I've narrowed down my problem to a connection issue. (FYI, the Publisher works fine with another 2005 Standard server) When I try to connect from the standard server to the express server using 'XYZSQLEXRESS' as my server name, it fails stating that it couldn't find the service, but I can connect just fine if I use 'XYZ' as the server name. I think this is why I'm having trouble getting replication going as the replication wizard tells me that I have to connect via 'XYZSQLEXPRESS' in order to run the replication scripts. Can anyone point me to the correct documentation to resolve this problem? Everything was easy-mode DBA work until we tried to add SQL Express to the mix, and I'm sort of running out of time on this one. Thanks for any help!

Slow Connection To MSDE Named Instance
Hi All Since I moved our database from an unnamed MSDE to a named instance MSDE, opening a DB connection takes a long time. The Microsoft Knowledge base article - 273673 discusses this issue and according to it, a database client writes an entry into the registry about the last successful connection: HKEY_L_MSOFTWAREMicrosoftMSSQLServerClientsup ersocketnetliblastConnect -33423352:lpc:(LOCAL)MYDBS In case this entry is in the registry, the connection is fast, if the entry isn't there or has wrong info, the connection is slow as mentioned. According to MS, database clients should write the "lastConnect" entry after a successful connection. Enterprise Manager does it, but an application using ADO.NET does not. Does anybody have an idea why ADO.NET doesn't do this ? I could update the registry myself, but I don't know where the number of the entry (-33423352) comes from. It's some sort of hash key, that seams to be machine independent, at least in my domain. Does anybody have an idea here ? Thanks a lot for your help! Best regards, Reto

Cannot Connect To A Named Instance Of SQL 2000 Or 2005
Hi, I am struggling connection to a named instance of SQL 2000 (SP4) from another machine but without any success. I get an error message saying that the server does not exist or access is denied. The security configuration in this named instance is the same as the default instance (also 2000) and the remote machine can connect to it successfully. I also configured the aliases in Client Network Utility in the client machine and set the server (machine) name and the port number used by the instance - but no help. I use osql and Query Analyzer to connect to it, but I cannot connect by any of them. Connecting locally, in the machine where the instance is installed, is successful. The same behaviour appears when I try to connect to another instance on the machine which is 2005. Something with the named instance is problematic. Any help?
