SQL 2005 Workgroup Edition

Hi Guys ... a client asked me if Workgroup edition of SQL Server 2005 would be ok to use instead of Standard. It seems to have most of the functionality of Standard except a memory limitation (http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/features/compare-features.mspx) but if they had enough traffic they could always upgarde to Standard later. Any ideas if there is something missing from Workgroup that's needed?
Thanks

Workgroup edition works fine for running the software
the only 2 nice to haves for managing the database are not there
DTS - For a quick way to import and export data directly to tables
and
Index Query Wizard - for improving performance
but neither of those are required for general operation of the product.

  • MII to SQL server "workgroup edition"

    Hi,
    Are there any MII issues connecting/integrating to a MS SQL server 'Workgroup edition 2005' as compared to the 'Enterprise edition'?
    Appreciate your inputs.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    you need to download the jdbc driver from the Microsoft Homepage und Upload the driver in MII.
    Also you need to modify the following entries after creating a new Data Server
    (Connector Type IDBC):
    JDBCDRIVER = com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
    ServerURL = jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;Database=Northwind
    We have connect MS SQL 2005 without any problems.

  • Sql 2005 standard edition for sql and AS databases with bpc 7.0 sp3 ?

    hello
    Install guide tells that we must use SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition with BPC except for Reporting Services.
    Customer asks wether he could use SQL 2005 Standard Edition for SQL database and Analysis Services ?
    Thanks.

    Hello Sorin. Two more questions, please:
    1) what do you mean by "Also into Application server you need EE because only in this version you have control flow." ?
    Is "control flow"  "business process flow" new functionality ?
    2) On the other hand, I don't think that BPC admin task is able to handle lite or full optimize without an Enterprise Edition Client.
    But customer asks wether it is possible to install on application server
    - SSIS standard edition for SSIS service
    - SSRS standard edition for Reporting Services
    - SQL client Enterprise Edition to let BPC admin task handle lite and full optimize properly.
    Why all this ? Because Enterprise Edition costs ten times more than Standard Edition and in a multi-server configuration, customer has to buy several SQL Server licenses, one per server running at least one SQL server service. (For example, with SQL,SSIS and OLAP on one server, and SSIS and SSRS running on the application server, customer has to buy two SQL servers licenses).
    Thanks. R.

  • Install Mini SAP and SQL 2005

    Hi there,
    I hope someone can help me with the question.
    I’ve bought the ABAP objects book called “An Introduction to Programming SAP Applications” from Horst Keller and Sascha Kruger (black color). There are 2 CD's to install the application Mini Basis SAP and work with the ABAP workbench. I was able to install that on a pc Win2000 and it worked and that pc had no sql server/database installed
    But I've now another pc Windows XP and has has SQL 2005 Dev edition. I need to keep this.
    My problem is when I try to install the Mini Basis I get error. Is it because of I’ve already installed the Ms SQL 2005 dev edition? 
    I’m using Windows XP prof edition. How can I install on XP pro this software on my pc keeping the SQL 2005?
    I have tried resume_setup.bat and also enabled remote_services for the registry update. no hope.
    Can someone please help?
    Cheers, mesut

    Hi Sravan,
    That's exactly what I did. I bought the book and I try install on Win XP pro with SQL 2005 dev edition pre-installed.
    I'm in possession of the Mini SAP, I own the book. I also looked at the site you suggested
    http://www.sap-img.com/mini-sap.htm.
    It seems to be I should be able to install on WIN XP pro due to the site above.
    This is how a work
    1) CD 1 starts with home page
    2) I choose REsume (because I have already pre-installed the SQL 2005)
    3) Setup starts
    4) asks me which directory, it proposes C:\MBS  -- I accept
    5) It asks me where is the DATA and the KERNEL CD --- it proposes D: ---I accept
    6) at the mean time I click on switch view and I see the logs and this is finally I get (I just copy/paste below the errors no the whole log)
    So I don't know how to proceed further. I contacted SAP and they propose me this forums.
    Could you please advice?
    thanks mesut

  • SQL 2005 sa password RECOVERY not reset

    Is there a way to RECOVER the SQL 2005 Standard Edition 'sa' password?  Resetting the password could cause a re-installation of several applications.  The person in charge of it has left the company.. several years ago and there's no record of
    the password.
    The various links and search options provided indicate a replacement or update.
    Is MS support the only way?
    TIA

    "You can recover the SA password of SQL Server database account"
    Above statement is incorrect, but perhaps you mean to say "cannot" instead of "can"?
    "...for you can change the password..."
    But that was not what the OP requested. The OP explicitly requested retrieving the SA password, not resetting it. And retrieving it is indeed impossible.

  • The acount information could not be verified - SQL 2005 SP3 installation on Windows 2008 R2 Failover Cluster

    Hi,
    We have a problem when we are trying to install SQL SP3 on SQL 2005 cluster.
    The problem is described bellow:
    We installed a new Windows 2008 R2 x64 failover cluster with two nodes.
    As a next step we installed SQL 2005 Enterprise edition x64 on this failover cluster. We have finished the installation without problems. After SQL installation we are trying to install SQL SP3 . We have logged on using a domain administrator account and
    we start the installation of SP3 with that user. In authentication mode screen the test gives a success status using either domain administrator-windows authentication or sa-sql authentication. On remote user account screen, when we give the domain
    administrator account we get the message "the account information could not be verified. Press ok to return to authentication mode screen to determine the reason for failure".
    We have tried to give the SQL services startup user on remote user account screen but the error is the same.
    the domain administrator account exists on security logins of SQL with sysadmin rights.
    Can someone help?
    Thanks. 

    Hi StelioMavro,
    According to your error message, when you install SQL Server 2005 SP3 in your failover cluster, we need to verify if there was other instance that had been removed and the installation did not pass the login check. I recommend you use windows authentication
    instead of SQL Server authentication when applying SP3. And the windows account used to run the SP3 setup program must have administrator privileges on the computer where SP3 will be installed.
    For more information about how to install SQL Server 2005 SP3 in failover cluster, you can review the following article.

  • Disaster recovery in SQL 2005 - which one is better ?

    Hi All,
    i am in a slight confusion of implementing a DR solution for one of my banking client.

    I had ruled out Clustering as the client is not willing to bear the cost of it. I also ruled out database mirroring as we failed to get the required performance benchmark with synchronous mirroring with RTT of 167 ms

    Hmm , log shipping restores log backups on standby on a regular schedule and if primary server failed then there maybe a loss of data from the last time a log backup happend , does your application tolerate that ?
     Also bringing the standby server online needs manual intervention and this can vary so not sure if you can handle in 15 minutes. You may need to copy left over log backups and restore them manually.
    Replication supposed to deliver data in near real-time to subscribers if configured as continuous distribution but in you case you will have to publish all tables so that subscriber gets everything as publisher (production).
    Transactional replication provides the lowest latency and is usually used for high availability. however , if DB Mirroring failed your benchmark then you need to test replication as well as tables will be scanned for transactions marked for replication and may present an activity.
    Also , better to use remote distributor in that case , a cost you should consider. Very important too is that replication maintenance is way more complicated than Db mirroring or Log shipping
    You can read also here an overview and then maybe feedback more about your situation

  • B1i (2005) installation failedSo far:  windows XP, MS-SQL 2005 express: ok

    Dear All,
    I try to install B1i for NW 2005 on a SBO 2005B installation. I have installed all prerequisites like JDK, MSXML, Tomcat (no blanks in path). When running the setup program and after all information gathered, the connection to the MS-SQL 2005 database succeeds and the final installation step starts but returns the message:
    "Initail database failed, make sure Tomcat or mini-http is shut down and please check your database's status and try again"
    Looking into MS-SQL shows a database beeing created named localhost/B1i. Tomcat and mini-http are definately shut down. When starting Tomcat, it is accessible via http://localhost:8080.
    System Parameters:
    windows server 2003
    SBO 2005B
    java: 1.4.2.19
    tomcat 5.5.27 including compat package for 1.4.2.19)
    sql jdbc 1.2.2828.100
    msxml 4.0 SP 2
    I can not find an error in the system. Is there a way to diagnose what is happening and does anyone have an idea where the problem lies?
    Ciao, Mathias
    [Update]
    I have tried JDBC 2.0.1008 and JDBC 2.0.1607 - both lead to a fatal error when trying to connect to the database. I assume this is due to Java JDK 1.4.2 as JDBC requires Java 5.0 (1.5.0)
    Does anybody know if I can use JDK 1.5.0_17 instead of 1.4.2_19?
    [Update 2]
    I have tried to install the B1i on two other servers with identical setup and it worked. However, this will not help me with this machine... On the other side, it shows, that there is nothing wrong with the procedure I am using
    I found by the way: B1i works fine with MSSQL 2005 Express, it works with jdk 1.5.0.17 (and then JDBC 2.0)
    [Update 3]
    So far:
    windows XP, MS-SQL 2005 express: ok
    windows XP, MS-SQL 2005 express, SBO2005A: ok
    windows 2003, MS-SQL 2005 SBO2005A: fail
    windows 2003, MS-SQL 2005 SBO2005B: fail
    windows 2003, MS-SQL 2005 SBO2007A: ok
    windows 2003, MS-SQL 2005 Netweaver 2004S: fail
    Unfortunately the three servers where it fails are the ones I need to use for production
    The precise error state is that the install routine creates the database in SQL 2005 and then reports that it can not create the database. Is there something I should check in SQL 2005?
    Edited by: Mathias Wilhelm on Feb 11, 2009 5:17 PM

    Salut Eddy,
    I tried it with tomcat 5.0.30 - no success. JDK is 1.4.2.19
    I tried it with tomcat 5.5.27 - no success. JDK was 1.4.2.19 and 1.5.17
    I checked the database: The structure is created but the tables are not created. As the user 'sa' has full admin rights it must be with the access path to the database that is wrong. What I do not understand is, why the installation routine is able to connect to the database to create B1i and then unable to create the tables. I checked in the log files of the db and found no error messages. I tested this as well by using a wrong password for sa or a wrong user. In both cases, the installation routine fails already when checing the existence of B1i database
    [Update]
    In the meantime:
    Checked permissions on database
    Checked that administrator is member of local admin group
    Checked JAVA_HOME environment variable
    Found collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS for working setup and SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS in failing setup
    Checked all security settings by comparing to working setup
    Checked event viewer and found no errors
    Checked all log files and found no errors
    Checked that sa can create tables manually in localhost\B1i

  • MS SQL 2005 remote connection using sqljdbc

    Hi,

    my software is trying to connect to mssql2005 database in a remote computer and got this error message:

    I have no problem when connecting to my local mssql2005 database though. but have problems when trying to make remote connection.
    May i know what could seem to be the cause of the problem, is there anything missing ? do i need to instal anything else on the production line computer? currently it does not have mssql2005 instal on the production computer do i need to instal it ? please help. thanks

    "Class path" applies to java. None of the above is java.
    I dont know what to set my classpath with?You are running your java in "something". That "something" is an application. That "something" does not have the correct class path. You didn't tell us what it is so we can't help you with it.

  • Log File Issue In SQL server 2005 standard Edition

    We have database of size 375GB .The data file has 80 GB free space within .When trying to rebuild the index we had 450 GB free space on the disk where Log file is residing.The rebuild index activity failed due to space issue.added more space and got the
    job done successfully
    The Log file has grow up to 611GB to complete the rebuild index.
    version :SQL server 2005 Standard Edition .Is ther a way to estimate the space required for rebuild index in this version.
    I am aware we notmaly allocate 1.5 times of data file.But in this case It was totaly wrong.
    Any suggestion with examples would be appreciated.
    Raghu

    OK, there's a few things here.
    Can you outline for everybody the recovery model you are using, the frequency with which you take full, differential and transaction log backups.
    Are you selectively rebuilding your indexes or are you rebuilding everything?
    How often are you doing this? Do you need to?
    There are some great resources on automated index maintenance, check out
    this post by Kendra Little.
    Depending on your recovery point objectives I would expect a production database to be in the full recovery mode and as part of this you need to be taking regular log backups otherwise your log file will just continue to grow. By taking a log backup it will
    clear out information from inactive VLF's and therefore allow SQL Server to write back to those VLF's rather than having to grow the log file. This is a simplified version of events, there are caveats.
    A VLF will be marked as active if it still has an open transaction in it or there is a HA option that still requires that data to be available as that data has not been copied to another node yet.
    Most customers that I see take transaction log backups every 15 - 30 minutes, but this really does depend upon how much data your company can afford to lose. That's another discussion for another day.
    Make sure that you take a transaction log backup prior to your job that does your index rebuilds (hopefully a smart job not a sledge hammer job).
    As mentioned previously swapping to bulk logged can help to reduce the size of the amount of information logged during index rebuilds. If you do this make sure to swap back into the full recovery model straight after and perform a full backup. There are
    problems with the ability to do point in time restores whilst in the bulk logged recovery model, so you need to reduce the amount of time you use it.
    Really you also need to look at how your indexes are created does the design of them lead to them being fragmented on a regular basis? Are they being used? Are there better indexes out there that can help performance?
    Hopefully that should put you on the right track.
    If you find this helpful, please mark the post as helpful,
    If you think this solves the problem, please propose or mark it an an answer.
    Please provide details on your SQL Server environment such as version and edition, also DDL statements for tables when posting T-SQL issues

  • ColdFusion and MS SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition

    Trying to get ColdFusion (Developers Edition) to communicate
    with MS SQL Server 2005 (Enterprise Edition). I have ColdFusion
    running on username = admin; password = as set up when installed.
    Have also tried setting up a user account with my Windows desktop
    username and password in case ColdFusion needed to be logged on as
    the same user as the SQL server. I have full admin permissions on
    the SQL Server (with Windows authentication), and am the database
    "owner" of the database on the server. In either ColdFusion login
    case, when I try to "add a data source", with driver = Microsift
    SQL Server, I get.....
    Connection verification failed for data source: CFtoVolcano
    java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC
    Driver][SQLServer]Login failed for user 'kewing'.
    The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException:
    [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Login failed for user
    'kewing'.
    Went to help files (troubleshooting area) and verified that
    the local web browser (IIS) and Cold Fusion ARE running. Next step
    takes me to "Change ColdFusion user account" which starts with
    "Open Control Panel and select ColdFusion 8 App Server and click
    Startup". I don't see that choice in MyComputer/ControlPanel. Not
    even sure if this is going to ba another dead end anyway!!!
    HELP! This shouldn't be this difficult! I'm not using some
    weird version of SQL!

    To use the default SQL drivers bundled with CF you need to
    use SQL authentication (which is disabled by default I think) in
    SQL Server 2005. If you enable SQL (mixed mode) authentication and
    create a user you can then add the data source in the CF admin.
    Alternatively, in order to use integrated windows
    authentication with SQL server your CF service needs to run as
    specific user. (It sounds like you've already done this) and you
    will need to use Microsoft's JDBC driver
    Driver download (MS JDBC Driver)

  • MS SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition

    Hi,
    We are developing a legal management product on SAP platform
    We would have  SQL Server to be used as a database for SAP ECC 6.0 in DEVELOPEMENT environment
    The landscape of the planned development  environment  has a total of 8 servers. We understand that a separate MS SQL Server 2005 ( Question :- Enterprise / standard / Developer ??? ) edition is required for all the servers Each server will run its own instance. Each server will have 2 Intel Xeon CPUs with quad cores.
    We understand that there will not be any users accessing the database directly. Instead, the SAP ECC software will create its own schema and users ( at most 4).
    1) Please let us know which edition is best suitable for us for above scenario .
    2) Does SAP ECC work on SQL Server 2005 Developer edition ?
    3) Can we have  one instance of SQL Server be used and multiple databases for dev, qa and prod be created from it
    Your prompt response will much be appreciated
    Thanks a ton !

    1) Please let us know which edition is best suitable for us for above scenario .
    SAP ONLY supports Enterprise edition.
    2) Does SAP ECC work on SQL Server 2005 Developer edition?
    No SAP willnot work on SQL Server 2005 edition.
    3) Can we have one instance of SQL Server be used and multiple databases for dev, qa and prod be created from it.
    Yes, technically it is possoble. But not at all recommended by SAP.

  • MS SQL Server 2005 - Express Edition?

    I am interested to learn about database development for use
    with CF dynamic development. Before I make any significant
    financial investments I'm wondering if
    MS SQL Server 2005
    Express Edition is a reasonable place to start learning
    about db development.
    The Adobe ColdFusion 8 SYSTEMS SUPPORT MATRI X indicates
    compatibility with: MS SQL Server 7.0, 2000, 2005 - Does this
    compatibility include the FREE
    MS SQL Server 2005
    Express Edition ?
    Does it bother MS that folks may want to use their db
    solutions with a competitor's dynamic-development solutions? In
    other words, are the compatible db products fully functional with
    CF?

    personally i like ms sql as i have always used it and am
    familiar with it. I think mysql is the choice more for PHP
    developers and I think CF works better with MS SQL. A definate
    choice of preference though, i ilke the way i can install as many
    instances as I like.
    eg 1 for websites
    1 for applications etc
    there is merit in both but here in UK/Ireland mysql is not as
    popular as MS SQL.
