Hi all,
I need to find all information about distributing SQL Server XE and applications using it . Is it legal ?? should it be used just for educational use?!!! could it be used to develop a commercial software !! what limitations are controlling this ??
thanks in advance !!
I have a VERY Legitmate use to install sql 4 workgroups on a pc without licensing it. I am making a disk image for MANY pcs to be imaged and load licensing after the imaging is completed.
I have been able to do this with Windows XP Professional, MS Office 2003 and a couple non-Ms programs. The information for MS software even came from their KB, so I know what I am doing is legit. I just can't find any information on doing this for my sql app.
Any suggestions??
Respectfully,

Hi,
I am new to SQL Server. I want to email my database and the diagram to a friend of mine so he can review my work.
I noticed that the sql server databases that I have downloaded had an extension of .msi. I don't know if I need to do something to make my database have the .msi extension before I can email it to my friend.
I have been able to copy and paste both the database and the log file to a folder on the desktop. I can't seem to open these though. I have right and left clicked on the
the databse file that is on my desktop. When I do both of these it prompts me to select a program to open it with. This is where I have problems. I go to the programs folder and then to the sql server folder hoping to be able to open it. I haven't been able to find anything to open it with. I have looked at every file in the folders but none seem to be appropriate.
I am using sql server 2005 express edition. Is this a limitation of the database that are made with this free edition?
thanks,
Krist
Hello all,
Thanks for all your great forum topics; it gives me a nice break from coding all day!
I know the answer to this question is in the documentation that comes with the SQL Server Express [9] download, but I've been unable to find it. What I was wondering is what the restrictions were if you were to incorporate the "free" SQL Server Express for selling or general distribution? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
P.
I have written a Visual Studio 2005 vb application the accesses SQL Server 2005 Express. How do I create a distributable CD with everything necessary on it. Can I use One-Click?

I would like to know, if it is at all possible for Setup files of SQL Server 2005 to be distributed. We have clients who currently use our software which makes use SQL Server 2000. We are looking ahead at distributing our new version with SQL Server 2005 and would like create an Installation package that will upgrade the database engine to the Workgroup or Enterprise editions of SQL Server 2005. Are there any suggestions around this topic, we are looking at ways in making this task of upgrading the engine as streamlined and automated for our Client. Please include advise with regards to licensing.
cheers

I am in the planning stages of a front-end to access sql server databases. The project involves analysis of stored data as well as storing results of the analysis. The classes for the analytical part is fairly complex so I would like to speed up the data manipulation part of the project. I am already familiar programming with ADO but I was hoping for a more complete solution. Is there a sdk or example code (third-party OK) that could facilitate this?
The client is not especially fond of .NET and would prefer to use VB6. However, with the right solution, C# or VB.NET would be acceptable languages.
I'm beginning development on a medium/ sized in-house web based system. Well moving from asp/mysql to asp.net/sql server. Re-doing DB design as well.My question is does it make sense for me to develop the SQL DB in Visual Studio 2005 pro, and then later move it to a real SQL server? Or basically what is the best and/or most practical way to do this development. Any other IDE's out there?Thanks

I have the full version of SQL Server installed on my machine and am developing an app using BI DTS packages, VB.Net, SQL SPs, etc.. I will need to deploy this app w/SQL Server Express (SSE).
-Do I have to install SSE on my development machine for the purpose of creating the install package of my application? I am afraid that if I do install SSE on my machine, it may mess up my installation of the full version of SQL Server... will it?
-Can you point me to a link with information about how to do the development with the full version of SS, and create the installation package using the SSE?
Thanks for your help.

We are developing Microsoft SQL Server CE 2.0 Merge Replication Using .NET Compact Framework. There is need of sinhronizations between SQL 2005 Mobile Edition witch resides on Barcode terminal (Windows CE) and SQL 2005 Developer Edition (on Windows XP). Everything is done by the book. There is few lines of code that we are using:
public bool Replicate()
{ bool ret = true;
SqlCeReplication repl = null;
try {
// Instantiate and configure
SqlCeReplication object repl = new SqlCeReplication();
string dbFile = ........
repl.InternetUrl = this.InternetUrl;
repl.InternetLogin = this.InternetLogin;
repl.InternetPassword = this.InternetPassword;
repl.Publisher = this.Publisher;
repl.PublisherDatabase = this.PublisherDatabase;
repl.PublisherLogin = this.PublisherLogin;
repl.PublisherPassword = this.PublisherPassword;
repl.Publication = this.Publication;
repl.Subscriber = this.Subscriber;
repl.SubscriberConnectionString ="Data Source=" +dbFile;
if (!System.IO.File.Exists(dbFile))
{ repl.AddSubscription(AddOption.CreateDatabase);
}
repl.Synchronize();
}
IIS is configured, but in log on the server we've got this error:

Hey Gang,
I was wondering if there was an alternative to using SQL SERVER and not having to spend all that money on a license?
Hi,
My Sql server License mode is set to Per Seat, is there a way to change that to Per Server? If yes what are the ramifications.
Please let me know ASAP
Thanks

If I install an instance of SQL Server on a box with 4 processors but specify in the licensing part of the installation procedure that it's a '2 processor license', does that really mean that SQL Server will only use 2 of the 4 processors? I ask because, having done this, if I check the SQL Server instance's properties, on the Processors tab, there are 4 processors ticked - giving the impression that 4 processors are being used by this SQL Server instance. Can anyone throw some light on this?
Another question... If I wish to reconfigure the same SQL Server instance from a 2 to a 4 processor 'per processor' license, how can this be done?

Hi all,I am performing a consolidation of all SQL servers in my environment. Ihave run the tool to find out what level patching they have and whatedition they are running on, but is there a tool so I can scan thenetwork and find out what licensing they are setup for (processor vs.seat)?Even if I have to enumerate each one, one at a time I would be OK withthat. I just don't want to have to login to each server and go toControl Panel and click on the Licensing.Command line is super-duper.Thanks,Josh

Thanks for your help.
I want to know if there is anyway to distribute jobs to a non system
administrator. In other words do they have to have System Admin rights, to be able to modify a job and run the job.
Sorry if this something beaten to death already...
What is/should be required for a target client machine to use and connect to a local copy of a SqlExpress database? Can't seem to get a db connection established to a different machine through a VB6 app. Installed the sql native client on the machine, but still can't connect. What am I missing, or do I have to distribute/install the entire SqlExpress client? Working fine from my development machine.

Suppose I create a DTS package (I am an old timer from SQL Server 2000 days but I suppose with 2005/2008 integration services there is a similar concept of package) which essentially reads data from a set of csv files, transforms it, and loads it into a SQL Server database. There are two scenarios:
i) The transformation involves applying functions on the columns before loading to the database.
ii) The transformation involves joins of data from multiple files.
My question is, can I run this DTS package on a machine which does NOT have SQL server installed for scenario i) and scenario ii) above? The idea is to distribute the actual processing across a set of computers to take off load from the main database server. If it can be done for either case then can u please explain how? Thanks in advance for your help.
I'm attempting to use RDA to synchronize a pocket pc emulator with SQL Server 2005 database by following tutorial http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa454892.aspx, which uses AdvWorksMobile database that comes with SQL Server 2005.
When get to testing of "To test application features " ( step 4 of the merge replication setup lab ), I am receiving SQLCe Exception errors.
ORIGINALLY, I was able to deploy an application and view the local database on the emulator, but once I clicked "InitSinc" button, I received an error.
"Failure to connect to SQL Server with provided connection information. SQL Server does not" exist, access is denied because the SQL user is not a valid user on the SQL Server, or the password is incorrect.
Found this error listed in Server Agent Errors log http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172357.aspx, but it wasn't very helpful since it doesn't provide any suggestions on fixing the problems.
I am brand new to SQL CE Server , mobile programming and .NET framework in general so please bare with me
All the connections / security settings, etc that were set up were taken from a tutorial so I am not sure what SQLCeServer is complaining about. Reading up on the error on the web didn't help, it all pointed to making sure that the snapshot folder had correct permissions set up. I verified that MACHINENAMEUISR_MACHINENAME guest user had Read rights to the database so I don't think that piece is the problem. Otherwise ,Merge publication has been setup in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio by following the tutorial.
I am trying to run this sync on my home pc so there should be no issues with any user permissions
I have IIS installed
I did NOT have SQL Server Agent running in management studio at this time
I am trying to run this tutorial on an XP machine, which is my regular home PC so I dont think there are any special networking settings to consider
I am able to hit http://localhost/AdvWorksMobile/sqlcesa30.dll from my pc OK, but when I try to hit it from a cradled emulator ( after replacing "localhost" with "MACHINE_NAME" ), Internet Explorer on the emulator gives me a "Cannot Connect With Current Settings" error message. This part wasn't part of tutorial but decided so not sure if I am supposed to be able to hit it from my emulator..so I am not sure if the fact that I can't hit it is related to the problem.
AFTER STARTING SQL SERVER AGENTin Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, I killed the application, and after relaunching it, it hits "The Specified table does not exist [Vendor]" error. This time it doesn't even launch first - that is I dont even get to pressing "InitSinc" button. Debugger is showing that this error is hit on the following line in AdvWorksMobile.AddWorksDataSetTableAdapters
int returnValue = this.Adapter.Fill(dataTable);
I am not sure why the errors changed on me after starting SQL Server Agent.
What can I do to fix this connection problem?
Thank you so much for your help!

We have a .NET Remoting application whose "server instance" connects to SQL Server Express and send data via remoting to its client application. There is no need for other direct access to SQL Server except for the "server instance". Now my software vender advices us to upgrade to SQL Server WorkGroup edition and now we are facing the question which license to buy. Could you advice us?

I'm a .net developer creating applications that depends on SQL Server as a back end database engine.
I read about the features and pricing options of the different SQL Server 2005 editions here, I also read the SQL Server 2005 express EULA and knew that it's now alright to use it in commercial applications.
I use the SQL Server express engine only for the purpose of development and testing, is this use is lawful?
And if the answer is yes, what's the need for the "Developer Edition" mentioned in the page referenced above?
Hi all,

Hi
I would like to setup about 20 websites (each with database search engines) and would like to use SQL Server 2005. This setup will be run by myself (i.e. single user)
I'm a little confused about which license I need. Do I go for the $23k full version or free license (Express) or something in between??
Could someone please advise. Would be happy to submit further details if required
Many thanks

How do we determine on a SQL 2005 server what license type was selected during the install? Where is the informationkept and how it is tracked by SQL Server 2005.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi
I had replication set up and working but had to unbind the Pub/Sub and re add. Now on the ditribution task in Executive I am getting the following error
The last distributor job id and the last subscriber job id do not match. No jobs were available with a job id > 2147.
This is SQL Server 6.5 by the way.
Does anyone know what has caused this and what the solution is?
