• SQL Server How can I convert download SQL Server 2005 to a licensed version.

  I downloaded a 180 day trial version of SQL Server 2005, and have it running. I have purchased a 5 user workgroup version. I would like to apply the 5 user license to the version that is currently installed. My preference is to not reinstall everything since I have everything configured as I would like, and it is working great. What is the best approach Paul Will this leave the installed database and all of its configuration as is Or will it change any of the configuration The reason I ask, is that due to a lack of proper planning we did not have SQL Server installed prior to a vendor arriving ...Show All

• SQL Server AWE enable and SQL Server 2005 x64 bits

  Hello, I am setting up a new server with Windows Server 2003 x64 bits and SQL Server 2005 x64 bits. Under 32 bits of Windows we normally use /3GB and enable AWE under SQL Server (both SQL 2000 and SQL 2005) and allocate 6 GB of fixed memory to SQL Server. Does any one know whether I should do the same thing under the x64 bits platform. I read some articles on the web that it is no longer required to use AWE under SQL 2005 x64 bits Please advise. Thanks. You don't need to enable AWE via sp_configure if you are running the 64bit version on x64, as 64bit SQL doesn't need to use the AWE api to add ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Build by Project instead of Solution

  Within the Build Type, is it possible to specify the actual projects within a solution to build Currently there is a section in the build type that looks like: < SolutionToBuild Include = " $(SolutionRoot)\Some\Path\Solution1.sln " /> < SolutionToBuild Include = " $(SolutionRoot)\Another\Path\Solution2.sln " /> Instead of building an entire solution, can we specify which project in the solution to build.  I see examples of excluding projects, but this is not the same thing.  Because of dependencies, project build order can matter rather that full solution build order.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Q: What is the modules

  hi, i'm new and i want to know what is hte differece between classes and modules , and when to use modules, thx Hi shak, The purpose of a module is to contain subroutines or Functions and to declare Variables or Arrays with the Public Command.  Modules have no visible properties and have no events because they have no controls.  Subs within the module are made available to your entire program (global) as opposed to local to a partuclar form or even more local to a particular procedure.

• Visual FoxPro All the sudden a batch of records (that were already in the table) are appended again?!?

  I have a multi user VFP 9.0 application that runs from a network share.  Every now and then one of the tables gets a bunch of duplcated records added to it.  A group of records that are already in the table just get added again!  I'm using optimistic buffering and I've set multilocks on.  If one of the users is having network connectivity problems, could it somehow be  re-adding records that are buffered by other users   I don't know what else  it could be.  We do have some users with connectivity problems. Any thoughts would be appreciated. This sounds more like an error on the data server tha ...Show All
