Hi there,
I just want to play with Pubs data base that is available in
Management Studio and apply all the enhancements of T-SQL in SQL '05.
How would i install the PUBs and Northwind databases to the Management
Studio databases?
Thanks

Yes i got the SQL2000SampleDb.msi already on to my desktop. But i
couldn't find an option to select so that i could install in Sql server
2005 rather than in Sql server 2000.
I also tried backing up the pubs data base from Sql server 2000 and
restroing it in Sql server 2005. It has thrown some error.
Do i need to set up some thing in order to forcebly install in Sql
server 2005 during the installation process of Sql2000SampleDb.msi?
Thanks

Above work, I've done that several times. But you need to provide us with mo
re information. What
errors? Did you use the MOVE option for the RESTORE command?

Same procedure. Just follow the readme, and adapt the steps for 2005 (like u
sing SSMS instead of
EM),
Whatever method you chose, remember that the databases will be in 80 compati
bility mode. Change
using sp_dbcmptlevel.

The mssage i got in the final step of restoration process when i
clicked on OK after the adding the pub.bak from
-Microsoft Sql Server
+80
+90
-MS Sql
- BACKUP
-pubs.bak
from Locate Backup file wizard.
The error i got was
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

Restore failed for Server 'DEVI\SQLDM2005'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

I am not sure why it is complaining about 'its being used by another
process' I don't have it available under my server explorer.
I can send the word doc of all the snap shots that i documented during
the restoration process if you think that helps.
Thanks

you are trying to attach is already attached to another instance of SQL

>|||Hello,
I have three servers registered in my Registered Servers window.
Devi (Sql server 2000)
Devi\Sqldm2005(Sql server 2005)
Devserver\Sql2005(Sql server 2005)
And i have only instance running under my Object Explorer
Devi\Sqldm2005(Sql server 2005)
I have pubs and Northwind databases by default under the server
Devi(which is sql server 2000).
But i don't have it attached it to my Object Explorer if at all that
makes any difference.
I am not sure if i am answering your question right though.
Tahanks

physical file names for
both the mdf and the ldf file.

You mean i need to do it in Management Studio rather than using the
GUI wizards? I will try doing it through Management Studio.
But mean while if you are comfortable with, i just sent over word
document that i have made during the restoring process to your hotmail
account. Could you please suggest me if i did it right?
Thanks
-L|||Yes, I'm referring to write and execute the TSQL commands in stead of using
the GUI dialogs. I never
use the GUI for these things, so I can't be much help there, I'm afraid...
