SQL Server 2008 R2 with Tools Evaluation Copy

Hello,
Is the SQL Server 2008 R2 software (SSMS, BIDS) still available for evaluation download? I was only able to find the Express edition, but I cannot open my solutions using Express. I tried to upgrade Express to Evaluation, but I get the below
error.
Rule Check Result
Rule "SQL Server 2008 R2 edition upgrade" failed.
The selected SQL Server instance does not meet upgrade matrix requirements.
OK
Thank you - Brett

Hello,
SQL Server 2008 R2 Evaluation Edition seems no longer available on Microsoft Download as you can see on the following link:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8158
However, if you are a MSDN subscriber you can download the full media of any paid edition of SQL Server 2008 R2, run SQL Server setup and choose Evaluation Edition
on the “Product Key” page of SQL Server setup.
Hope this helps.

Is DTS supported in SQL server 2008 R2 with Compatibility level 100?

We have a DTS package which executes one stored procedure.
We have recently switched SQL server compatibility level from 80 to 100.
On Compatibility level 80 it was working fine.
When i switched the level to 100, and executes DTS it shows successfully executed but stored procedure doenot really executed.
When i execute stored procedure in query analyzer it executed successfully and results were as expected.
Please let me know Is DTS supported in SQL server 2008 R2 with Compatibility level 100?

We have just implemented DTS packages on SQL2008R2 using the Backward Compatibility Tools (serarch for SQLServer2005_BC.msi)
You need the files:
SQLServer2005_BC.msi or SQLServer2005_BC_x64.msi
and SQLServer2005_DTS.msi
After you install these, perform the following -
1) To integrate DTS Designer with SSMS:
Copy the files SEMSFC.DLL, SQLGUI.DLL, and SQLSVC.DLL
from %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn
to %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE
Copy the files SEMSFC.RLL, SQLGUI.RLL, and SQLSVC.RLL
from %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\Resources\1033
to %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\Resources\1033
2) To integrate DTS Designer with BIDS:
Copy the files SEMSFC.DLL, SQLGUI.DLL, and SQLSVC.DLL
from %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn
to %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE
Copy the files SEMSFC.RLL, SQLGUI.RLL, and SQLSVC.RLL
from %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\Resources\1033
to %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\Resources\1033

Installation of SQL Server 2008 failing - Client Tools

Hello,
I am trying to install SQL Server 2008 Client Tools on a machine that already has SQL Server 2005 (Full install). I select "Client Tools Connectivity" "Client Tools Backwards Compatibility" "Client Tools SDK" and "SQL Client Connectivity SDK". During installation, I receive this error message "A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file E:\x86\setup\x86\sqlncli.msi". The installation then fails. Is the older version of sql native client interfering with the new install? Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks!!
-Theresa

So I tried to reinstall missing features, but I was getting the same error message about the sqlncli.msi file. I tried executing it from the folder, but got the same error.
When I went to remove the items that did get installed from Add or Remove Programs, I got the following error:
"SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
No feature were uninstalled during the setup execution. The requested features may not be installed. Please review the summary.txt log for further details.
Error code 0x84B30002"
Not sure what to do..

Connection failed SQL Server 2008 R2 with Instance Name but with IP connect

Hello,
We have a server where SQL Server 2008 R2 is installed. Now from our local pc we connect to that database. I try to connect that database using instance name but cannot. If I put IP Address in the server name field, then it connect. my other colleague, they
can connect using instance name but I cannot.
How can I resolve this problem? How can I connect using Instance Name?
Please help.

Faisal there are a couple of possibilities for you. Some have been mentioned already. For us to help if you can provide some further information this would be appreciated. In the mean time some things that you can check
If you are able to connect to the instance via Server IP Address then the instance is configured for remote connections and the firewall does allow for remote connections to come through. You can check the SQL Server Configuration Manager on the server to
check what protocols (Named Pipes & TCP/IP are enabled). You can also check that the Browser is running.
What error message do you receive when trying to connect via the ServerName or ServerName\InstanceName remotely?
You could look at creating an entry in your host file with the server name and IP address on you workstation and test this. I am thinking that if a colleague is able to connect remotely via ServerName or ServerName\InstanceName that you potentially have
a caching issue or a DNS issue. Are you able to ping the servername from your workstation and get a valid response from the correct IP address?
I hope this helps.

SQL Server 2008 Express w/ Tools Setup

On a Win 7 x64 Ultimate box, I am unable to install 2008 SSMS.  (Sql Server Express 2008 installed without SSMS from Visual Studio 2010 installation.)
I removed all SQL components and downloaded x64 and then tried x86 SSExpWT. Both failed with the same error.   I realize this is not an Express forum but hoping I get some direction quickly. Thanks in Advance.

Can I recover a damaged SQL Server 2008 database with the undamaged .mdb and .ldf files?

Their original SQL Server was 2008, with SP unknown, but installed on D: and C: drives. The power spike corrupted their O/S on the C:
drive and someone reinstalled both the O/S and the SQL Server, which is now SQL 2008, SP4. They have intact files for all system databases, both .mdb and .ldf. Is there some way they can reconnect with the user databases using the intact copies
of the previous system databases? I have heard that if the SQL Server is stopped, previous Master and Msdb .mdb and .ldf files moved into place and the server restarted, that any previous user database .mdb and .ldf files can be accessed by the SQL server.
Is this the case, or are there details missing?

Hello! try this steps
1 Open your SQL Server Management Studio console. This application shortcut is available in the SQL Server directory in the Windows Start button.
2 Enter the system administrator user name and password. SQL Server's administrator user name is "sa." This account is required for privileges to restore the database. If your restoring on a host provider server, use the administrator user name
and password they supplied for your account.
3 Right-click your database name and select "Attach." In the new window that opens, click the "Add" button to open a dialog box.
4 Select your MDF file and press the "Ok" button. It may take several minutes to restore the database if it is a large file. Once the process is finished, browse your tables to verify the data. The database is now restored.

Calling Managed CLR Stored Procedure from C++ SQL Server 2008 fails with Msg 2809

I am trying to call a stored procedure from C++ (VS 2010).
Here is what the stored procedure looks like:
public class Validate
[Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure(Name = "ClientTest")]
public static void ClientTest(out String res )
{ res = "50";}
To create a stored procedure I deploy at first the assembly
USE [test]
GO
CREATE ASSEMBLY ClientTestAssembly
AUTHORIZATION testLogin
FROM 'C:\Users\test\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\TestCreationAssemblyCSharp\TestCreationAssemblyCSharp\bin\x64\Debug\TestCreationAssemblyCSharp.dll'
and call
USE test
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE ClientTest (@res NVARCHAR(40) OUTPUT)
AS
EXTERNAL NAME ClientTestAssembly.Validate.ClientTest
I can call my procedure direct in SQL Server Management Studio without any errors
declare @res nvarchar(10)
execute ClientTest @res OUTPUT
print @res
But when I try to call this procedure from C++ using CALL syntax
SQLBindParameter(sqlstatementhandle, 1, SQL_PARAM_OUTPUT, SQL_C_CHAR,
SQL_VARCHAR , 40, 0, version, sizeof(version) ,
&pcbValue);
res = SQLExecDirect(sqlstatementhandle, (SQLCHAR*)("{CALL ClientTest(?) }"), SQL_NTS);
I get the Error 2809 with SQLSTATE 42000 and with statement
The request for 'ClientTest'
(procedure) failed because 'ClientTest' is a procedure object.
However, if I wrap my CLR stored procedure into a T-SQL stored procedure, like
CREATE PROCEDURE myProc (@res NVARCHAR(40) OUTPUT)
AS
EXEC ClientTest @res OUTPUT
and call then myProc instead of ClientTest
res = SQLExecDirect(sqlstatementhandle, (SQLCHAR*)("{CALL myProc(?) }"), SQL_NTS);
everithing works fine and I get 50 as result.
I have no ideas what is the reason for that behavior.
Thanks very much for any suggestion.
Christina

I'm not an ODBC expert, but you might try following the sample here:
Process Return Codes and Output Parameters (ODBC)
To see if it also behaves differently for your CLR proc.

SQL Server 2008 Express edition install issue.

Ok, i've been looking around forums for a while now and have not found a post similar to this one or one that offers a solution; so here it goes.
I'm trying to install management studio and in the web platform installer i keep getting this error:
"You must install visual C++ 2008 SP1 before you can install SQL server 2008 Express with tools"
I managed to get the install to "work", but it didn't actually install the studio app. So heres my questions:
Firstly...why? i've installed this before and not had any issues at all, so why the sudden need for C++?
Secondly, does anyone have any insight into my problem and how i cant actually install it?
The only real difference between this install and previous installs is that i'm not running it on vista home premium 64-bit (previously 32-bit).
I tried installing visual C++ express, but that didn't work.
Thank you in advance and for giving up your time to read this.

Hi,
Based on the error message, your computer has Visual C++ 2008 before you install SQL Server 2008. However, Visual Studio 2008 does not support having Visual Studio 2008 without a service pack. The error message indicates you to install Service Pack 1 for Visual C++. Please download Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 from the following link and install it:

Error installing sql server 2008 management studio express

Hello,
I need to install sql server 2008 management studio express on a sql server 2k8 R2 instance.
First of all, I've downloaded this one from this link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7593 (for 32 bits).
Once I've the downloaded file I run this file and choose the first option (New sql server stand-alone...) in the installation part. Finally, in the installation type I choose the option 'Add features to an existing instance of SQL Server 2008' with the instance
selected. I push Next and then I get the following error: 'The instance ID is required but it is missing'.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks a lot.
Regards.

Hello,
What’s the edition of the SQL Server 2008 R2? If you had installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer edition, you should install “SQL Server 2008 Express with Tools” edition or “SQL Server 2008 Express with Advanced Services” edition.
Please refer to the following article for more information:

Have you found any error in event logs?
In my case even after uninstalling all 2005 related components it didn't worked. I had to resort to a brute force way and
remove following registry keys
