Hi all,

When I started with SF I had installed MS-SQL Express 2005, now I want to install the Developer Edition of SQL 2005, and remove the Express version in my dev computer.

Is there something I should be doing with the databases I already have in the Express version before or after installing the Developer edition?  specially the SF database.  I just don't want to mess up my SF installation, nore loose any project's database currently on the Express version before removing this version and installing the Dev edition.

Thanks!

Hi Greg, Ivan,

FYI, I installed Developer version of MS-SQL with not problem, detach all databases (including SF) from Express version and attached them to the Dev version without a problem, of course SF connection manager fixed the new connection and everything works fine.

Thanks again to both of you for your inside experiences.

Glad to hear that Edhy!

Yeah, I had an experience like that once, everything just working the first time...I think...been a while...hard to remember ... Usually, I'm seeing red (SF error dialogs), blank screens, SQL server is screaming at me to find the log file, I'm getting confused because I'm remoting into SQL via a term server on my local switch box, so I'm entering sql commands into my email and typing memos in SSMS, just before a lighting strike takes out my ISP, so I'm sitting in the dark with my UPS beeping at me, telling me my battery is about to die... and my wife is upset because she told me dinner was ready 3 hours ago







I'm glad you got it running w/no problems!

Hummmm, that sound pretty familiar

Apparently an upset wife has amazing powers! Sending a lightning to make you stop working seems to be a proof of it...

Ahmen brother!

ROFL...yup, I have been there before too
