How to install CMS database on Sql Server

Hi
Now I am installing Crystal Reports Server 2008, current environment is windows server 2003 + Sql Server 2005.
During the installing, because I want to use Sql Server 2005, so I picked "use a existing database server", however when I get into "select existing cms database" step, and selected "Sql Server(ODBC)" there is nothing show on the ODBC(DSN) list, I have already create a new ODBC on Data Sources(ODBC),  when I click "browse" I can not find any data source, so that is mean I have to install a new mysql database in my server, but I don't want to, I just want to use the Sql Server, could you tell me why or how to do it?
Thanks in advance.

If you select SQL Server as your CMS database make sure that the datasource you created is a Machine DSN and not a User DSN.  Make sure that you have created a blank SQL Server database and have your Machine DSN point to it.
I hope that helps

    One method is to run the SQL statement below from a SSMS query window:
    CREATE DATABASE MyDatabase;
    You can also right-click on the Databases node in SSMS Object explorer and select New Database.

    Hi,
    Try this solution:
    The step-by-step installation guide can be found in the documentation included in the installation media. (\Documentation\SystemSetup\AdministratorGuide_SQL.pdf).
    Below are some important parts that you should pay attention to during the Installation process.
    Resolution
    Collation setting: It must be set as SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS,even the company DB is non-english location. The company DB will be created as corresponding collation settings automatically.
    Instance and TCP Port : It is recommended to run SBO on default instance and TCP port 1433. Otherwise,some optional components such as B1i may not work properly.
    Native Client: SQL Server Native Client should be installed on every client machine to enable the ODBC connection to DB server.

  • How to Migrate my database from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle

    I want to transfer my database from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle, Can I do this without using Oracle Migration Workbench ??
    Please help me.
    Thanks in advance
    Vicky... :-)

    Do you have a good technical reason for not wanting to use the Migration Workbench?
    Given that it's free and does a hell of a lot of the work for you, why wouldn't you use it?
    Other than that, I would say you would be on your own...

  • How to convert Oracle database to Sql server Database

    Try using the DTS (data transformation services) services of SQL Server 2000
    DTS is based on an OLE DB architecture that allows you to copy and transform data from a variety of data sources. For example: Oracle directly, using native OLE DB providers.
    Alternatively, you could follow the following broad steps for data migration (assuming you are retaining the same table structures in SQL Server, and that you are talking about SQL Server 2000).
    1. Get the CREATE scripts corresponding to each Oracle table / view / index. These can be reverse engineered from the database using a tool.
    2. Map Oracle datatypes to SQL server datatypes e.g: date maps to datetime/smalldatetime, numeric maps to one of int, bigint, smallint, etc depending on the range of values in the CREATE scripts.
    3. Indexes in SQL Server are of two types: Clustered / non-clustered. There can only be one clustered index on each table.
    4. Converting procedures and triggers will have to be line by line, since SQL Server uses a proprietary T-SQL instead of ORacle's PL/SQL
    I have yet to see a really good tool to do this migration, but it is possible to write a PL/SQL procedure / Pro*C program to automate the script creation for creating tables in the SQL Server database.
    For the actual data import into SQL Server, export the Oracle data table by table into flat files, and then use the import wizard of SQL Server enterprise manager

  • How to restore SQL Server 2008 database to SQL Server Express 2012

    How to restore SQL Server 2008 database to SQL Server Express 2012.
    I BACKED UP a SQL Server 2008 database from work, which runs the enterprise version of 2008, and I tried to RESTORE it to my new 64-Bit home PC which is running the new SQL Server Express 2012 64-Bit (Advanced Edition).
    But if fails. I get the following message text.
    Can anyone help me please. I thought restoring a 2008 database to the later version 2012 would be possible.
    Here is the error message. Thanks.
    TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
    Restore of database failed. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.RelationalEngineTasks)
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The database was backed up on a server running version 8.00.2039. That version is incompatible with this server, which is running version 11.00.3128. Either restore the database on a server that supports the backup, or use a

    Are you sure your database is SQL server 2008 from error message it seems your SQL server version is 2000.I guess you have multiple versions of SQL server.
    AFAIK you cannot restore backup of SQL server 2000 to 2012 directly .Restore it first to SQL 2008/2008R2 or 2005 then take backup again of new database created and then you would be able to restore it on 2012.Its kind of intermediate way
    Also make sure your DB size is less than 10 G as max DB size supported by Express edition is 10 G and if your DB size is more than 10 G restore will fail.
    You are also trying to restore enterprise DB backup on express edition so you will loose enterprise features on express edition

  • How to attached a sql server 2008 database on sql server 2005

    Hi,
    I have a backup of database designed over sql server 2008. I need to attacched this on a machine where sql server 2005 is installed and I am getting the message while attaching the database.
    "The database can not be opened because it is version 661.
    the server supports version 611 and earlier"

    You need to install/have another instance of SQL Server 2008, restore over there the database and perhaps create a SSIS package to move objects and data into SQL Server 2005

    You setup a field as BLOB and store the binary of the picture there. Depending on the database it can be called differently as you can see in the link, in SQL server there's even a Image datatype.
