MSDE Advice Please
TIAFrom my experience MSDE has some limitations (db size, number of connections, etc.) but it is real database engine with all features. You can manage it by ISQL or OSQL (if you have installed somewhere in NET enterprise manager - you can use it for MSDE).|||Hi,
The database size is limited to 2GB. Once the DB gets to this size MSDE will not allow the program to use it. You can still go into the DB with Enterprise Manager or Query Analyzer or shareware tools. But nothing will run.
As for connections I beleive the limit is 30.
As for your install.
Create the database on the SQL server and write your program against it. Then back the database up when you are finished debugging it. Include it with your install packaging (I am not a developer so I won't tell you how).
When the install process starts have the MSDE install first (See MS Knowledge Base or google "MSDE install"). Then restore the database to the MSDE ( I suggest osql). Then create your ODBC connection. And finish with your program.
Have fun !|||Thanks for all your comments and advise :)

MSDE 2000 SP4 Merge Modules
merge modules. I downloaded the SP4 of the desktop engine from the microsoft
site. When downloaded and extracted, there is a folder on my machine
\MSDE\MSM which has all of the merge modules. I've noticed that the SP4
release has 3 new mm's: msxmlsql32.msm, msxmlsqlr32.msm, and qfepatch.msm.
In the InstallShield DevStudio 9.01 IDE, I check the 3 new mm's. When I go
and build I receive the following error: "Error retrieving dependency
MSXMLSQL1033.996A3FBA_B9BC_4189_9DB1_2B3C86B526BC: 1033 of C:\Program
Files\InstallShield\DevStudio 9\Modules\i386\MSXMLSQL32.MSM". Anyone know
why I'm getting this error?
Thanks.

no idea, never used MSDE merge modules, always installed using the setup.exe
boostrap installer.... but have you tried modifying the order of
installation?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...stsql_8yeq.asp
has not been updated (as BOL in general) at sp4 level, so no additional info
about those new merge modules seems available..
BTW, the MSDE readme file, at point 4.2 MSDE 2000 SP4 File location
specifies:
"Note Merge modules are not supported for new installations. They are
provided in SP4 for servicing instances of MSDE 2000 that were previously
installed using merge modules."

|||I don't know much about MSDE and am just doing some research on it as of
this week.
However, I cam across this link yesterday which might be useful:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/downloads/2000/sp4.asp
Here is an extract from the site:
"Users who have an existing instance of MSDE 2000 must know how their
instance of MSDE 2000 was installed to know how to update it. In particular,
you must know the original package name for your instance of MSDE 2000. To
determine the original package name, see the article How To Identify Which
MSI File Was Used for an Existing MSDE Installation in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base."

|||Thanks so much for your help. This an existing MSDE 2000 InstallShield
install package and we have a client who wants to upgrade to SP4 so that is
why I'm trying to build an upgrade for them. I'd like to get rid of using
the MSDE 2000 merge modules per Microsoft's comment. I got it to build by
editing the msxmlsql32.msm and the msxmlsqlr32.msm using the Orca tool. I
think there is a problem with the rows in the ModuleDependency table. I
guess I have the option of building it without these two mm's as our database
application doesn't use xml. I'm a little apprehensive of doing this only
because there is no documentation on these new mm's. I might post to
InstallShield also. Again thanks.

I'm not sure this is the solution, but you may give it a try:
Stop all services that might interfere with MSDE or the performace counters.
- Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
- Performance Monitor
- Monitoring services like Surveyor or NetIQ
- Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC)
- Microsoft Search (MSSearch)
- Internet Information Services (IIS)
- WnsService (This service corresponds to the Canon printer driver.)
- Third-party performance monitor utilities that load performance counters.
- Antivirus programs.
In the "setup.ini".
[Options]
DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0
SAPWD="your-sa-password"

MSDE 2000 and SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition Compatibility
SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition Compatibility.
I would like to install one packaged application that uses MSDE 2000 and a
second packaged application that uses SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition.

I dont see that there is any problem as far as compatibility is concerned.
MSDE 2000 and merge modules
I have a vb.net desktop application that uses msde 2000 for its databasing. I am trying to create a setup file using the output of my desktop application and the msde 2000 merge modules in order to install my own build plus an instance of msde 2000.
The setup runs properly and then asks me to restart my machine. After the restart, however, there is no such instance running on my machine. I am adding the following internal properties to my msi file using ocra:
SQLMSDESelected 1
SqlInstanceName Midas
SqlSaPwd Password1
SqlSecurityMode SQL
SqlDataDir C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$Midas\Data
SqlProgramDir C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server
This should create an instance of msde on my machine but when I try to connect using enterprize manager or query analizer (I connect to <<machinename>>\Midas), then I get the standard can not connect error.
I am at my witt's end and would really appreciate any help.
Thanks.
Hi,
maybe you could help me....
I'm trying to create a setup file using the VS2003 "Setup Project" and MSDE2000SP4 Merge Modules (editing properties with ORCA).
But when I run the installation file, it shows the following message:
"The Error Code is 2920".
Do you know how to fix that ?
Thanks,

CdRNoone knows why i cant install?|||Where did you get the the MDSE CD from? In seems that it may be corrupt.
I don't recall any internet calls during any installation I have performed. The fact that the website called s in Germany makes me wonder about the validity of the installation CD.
Be careful that it isn't corrupting your system.
Is there a reason that you are installing the German version?

I am trying to upsize my Access DB to Sqlserver. I am still confused as to where does this server reside? How does this whole thing work?
Also, when I tried to upsize my db I got an overflow error.
Could someone please explain how does this work?
Thanks,
DHYou really should have your instance name be one word with no special characters, so you might want to reinstall MSDE to start with.
The MSDE SQL Server can reside anywhere. A server is always preferrable. You just point to it in Access with ODBC or an Access Data Project.
Can you post the exact message you got on the upsize? This is probably an arithmetic overflow error, but who knows without seeing the error.|||Doesn't MSDE create a named instance by default?
Also, the poster is probably referring to the Tag # of the PC or a laptop, like Dell usually assignes to it's products, something like YG2PBF, so I don't see any problem with it.|||Doesn't MSDE create a named instance by default?

Yes, you are right. It uses the TTAG number of the desktop. The MSSQL icon in the start up area also had other names unser the serverl ist. Anyway, attached is the screen shot of the verflow error I encountered.|||Yes, you are right. It uses the TTAG number of the desktop.

MSDE 1.0 --> MSDE 2000 DB Connection Failure
I believe the problem to come in a line wrote as so:
BSTR bstrOpen = gServerName.AllocSysString();
although I'm not 100%.
Just wondering if anyone might had the same problem with MSDE 2000 and what they did to fix it. Thanks!

Hi,
One of the things that's different about MSDE2000 is that by default, tcp is
not enabled. You might need to re-enable it. You can do this by running
svrnetcn.exe.

MSDE > SQL Express
We have a product on the market, with 100k or so installs that use MSDE as its database (desktop application in .net). Our number 1 complaint is massive installation problems with MSDE.
Now, we are stuck a bit - first, we need to release a Vista Compatible version - which means no MSDE. We also need to migrate users from MSDE to SQL Express, with no data loss (we deal with financial information, and people tend to have zero tolerance for data loss here).
So, I have large scale reservations for two reasons - first, Microsoft's track record in supporting and making MSDE in the past has not been stellar.
With that said - are the multiple installation failure issues fixed in SQL Express? Did MS make the effort to get SQL Express to install on Win2k/XP/Vista improved? Are their benchmark figures out there regarding SQL Express install failure rates?
Additionally, can I get some information regarding MSDE to SQL Express upgrades done during for existing customers?
jason
Hi Jason,
Great strides have been made in installation for SQL Express and it is much better than MSDE. This is not to say there are no issues, a quick search of this forum will confirm that there are, but I have not seen the kind of wholesale failures that were common with MSDE. I think SQL Express is way better for install than MSDE.
I don't know of anyone that tracks benchmarks such as you describe, sorry. I can point you to an article that we have that describes best practices for upgrading from MSDE to SQL Express, you can find it here. I have confidence that our upgrade procedure will not harm or lose our data since your database files are just left in place and then attached once the new server is installed, but I would be remise to not remind you that you should take responsibility for protecting your own important data.
I'd say that it's critical to backup your databases as a first step of any migration process. Additionally, you may want to consider doing a side by side upgrade in stead of in place to give you maximum control. During a side by side upgrade, you manually move your databases, so you can choose to use a copy (leaving the original safe) or even migrate your data by restoring a backup rather than using the original mdf. One thing to remember, once the database is converted to SQL 2005, it can't go back to 2000 format. If you are concerned that you might want to roll back the migration, you need to ensure that you keep a copy of the 2000 format database around until migration is complete.

MSDE - Unknown Server
I installed software called AutoAPP on a users desktop and this software
automatically installs MSDE (No idea what version). When run under the
administrator account everything is fine. When the user logs on under their
account (power user) SQL Icon is on the task bar, but it is blank \\ -
Unknown Server. I have to manually type in the laptop name in the server
field of the SQL Server Service Manager and then the arrow will go green.
Does anyone know why under Administrator account the server name is there,
but not under the users profile? It is annoying having to type in the
computer each time the computer reboots, giving the user Administrative
access to their computer is not really an option. Once the computer name is
entered under the user account everything seems to function normally.
Laptop is running Windows XP Pro SP1
Thank You.

is the Service Manager only that does not enlist the local server, or is the
MSDE service itself that is not running when logging as a power user?

I uninstalled everything, but once I reinstall I will check under the
Services and Applications -> Services to make sure it is running. I'm
almost positive it is running and the Service manager does load on boot up,
but the circle will not have the green arrow. If I open the Service Manager
the drop down for the Server field will be empty. I type in the name of the
local comptuer i.e. laptop1 and it arrow goes green and the application can
access the database. It is just annoying to have to type in the computer
name each time. I will very 100% for sure if the service is running in the
next day or so, once I get a chance to work on the users laptop again.
Thanks You.

MSDE - Start Databases
Hello
I'm using SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.760 Desktop Engine.
When the SQL Server starts, it just start databases master, model and tempdb. The databases that I have created don't start. They just start when I connect to them for the first time.
What I can do to start my own database when the SQL Server starts?
Thank you.
All databases are opened at startup if they are attached to SQl Server. If you have switched on the autoclose option, they are in common closed (but not stopped) after the last user disconnected.

what do you mean by "but only the laptop will show the sever running" ?
is the MSDE instance service not running or just not showing in the SQL
