How to tell what version of SQL 2005 is intalled (Enterprise or standard)
I need to make sure that the proper version of SQL Server 2005 was installed on the production server.
What do I do to find out?
Thanks in advance!
Connect to the instance using SQLCMD and run:
1> select @.@.version;
2> go
You should get output that looks like:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86)
Oct 14 2005 00:33:37
Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation
Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
The 9.00.1399.06 is the version for SQL Server 2005 RTM.
Or from SQLCMD you can run:
1> select CONVERT(char(20), SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'));
2> go
Which will output:
9.00.1399.06
Also, if you connect to the server using SQL Server Management Studio, the version is displayed in Object Explorer on the root server node. Here it's displayed as 9.00.1399.
Cheers,
Dan

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\Setup

This result supports you install SQL Server 2005 on a clean machine. Most often, you should check the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.n\Setup if you install multiple instances.

"This result supports you install SQL Server 2005 on a clean machine."
should be
"This result supposes you install SQL Server 2005 ENT on a clean machine."
In addition, you can also get the version information from the registry key by checking the value of "Version".
sqlHow to tell what SQL 2005 version I'm runing?

Anywhere?
If you're going to manage SQL Server, you should have it SOMEWHERE. If not
regular Management Studio then at least the express version (which is free).

From there you can run
SELECT @.@.VERSION;|||underprocessable|||You should be able to tell something from your services applet in control
panel / administrative tools. By default I think a SQL Express instance
will be listed as SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS).
But, what on earth could you be doing with SQL Server? If you can't even
connect to it in order to see what edition it is, how are you managing it,
how do you expect to create databases, etc.? This is why I suggested
getting at least Management Studio Express. It doesn't do everything, but
it is better than zero.

Well, this is one reason I want to know which version is installed so I will
know which Management Studio to install, the full version or the Express
version.
SQL is running on a SharePoint 2007 server. SharePoint needed SQL, however,
no one can remember if the full version or the Express version was installed
during instalation.

Well, since Management Studio Express is free, it is not going to hurt you
to install it.
And if you had access to Management Studio (e.g. on a SQL Server
installation CD), then I guess you could look at the CD to see which edition
you have, since it's printed on the label. :-)

Have you looked at the SharePoint site, or the SharePoint documentation?
Surely it is listed there somewhere. Also, did you try looking in the
services applet like I suggested earlier?|||How about connection with SQLCMD and execute below?

How to tell version difference between 2000 Enterprise vs. Standard
I have kind of an urgent need here. I need to know if there is a dll file or registry key or something of that nature that I can query on to find out if my SQL 2000 installations are Enterprise or Standard.
I understand I can do this using query analyser, but that will not work with my reporting tool (this is for reporting numbers of SQL installations in our very large enterprise for Microsoft license compliance).
Thanks for any guidance!!
Cheryl Marland
cheryl.marland@.va.gov
In SQL 2000 that information is not written to the registry in a readable format.
If you can't run osql in the discovery process, you could create a windows batch file that's scheduled to run every night at midnight - the batch job could run
select convert(char(20), serverproperty('edition'))
go
and dump the results to an output file. If you can't read the file you could author the script to update a reg key with the information so you're reporting process could pick it up.
Cheers,
Dan
Dan,
Is this info more readily available in SQL 2005?

how to tell expiration date of eval version
First question: I have sql server 2005 enterprise eval edition installed. is there a query, command or tool can tell me the exact expiration date? I understand it is 180 day but I still want some way to query the exact date.
Second question: does sql server log any warning message before eval expires?
Simply look at the creation date of the SQL folders. There is a message in the event log telling about the expiration date of SQL Server.HTH, Jens Suessmeyer.

How to stop PAD_INDEX being scripted
Our team checks SQL scripts into version control. On my machine, however, the generated script always differs slightly. When I generate a create table script, the primary key part always has PAD_INDEX = OFF. Nobody else's server generates this. Does anyone know what option or setting I need to change to prevent PAD_INDEX = OFF from being output?
WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]
BOL specifies
When creating indexed views or manipulating rows in tables participating in an indexed view, seven SET options must be assigned specific values. The SET options ARITHABORT, CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL, QUOTED_IDENTIFIER, ANSI_NULLS, ANSI_PADDING, and ANSI_WARNINGS must be ON. The SET option NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT must be OFF.
If any of these settings is different, data modification statements (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) on any table referenced by an indexed view fail and SQL Server raises an error listing all SET options that violate setting requirements. In addition, for a SELECT statement that involves an indexed view, if the values of any of the SET options are not the required values, SQL Server processes the SELECT without considering the indexed view substitution. This ensures correctness of query result in cases where it can be affected by the above SET options.
If the application uses a DB-Library connection, all seven SET options on the server must be assigned the required values. (By default, OLE DB and ODBC connections have set all of the required SET options correctly, except for ARITHABORT.)
|||Thank you for taking the time to copy and paste. However, I don't see how your post is relevant.
I am asking what determines whether the PAD_INDEX option is included in scripted CREATE TABLE statements.
|||Is anyone able to help with this?
