Reissue restore statement

I am trying to restore a database but i keep getting an eror message saying

"reissue restore statement using with replace to overwrite existing files."

How can I get around this problem to get my datatabsed restored? I am abit of a novice as well so i could do with some easy to understand instructions.

Thank you for your time

RESTORE DATABASE MyDb FROM <insert info here>
WITH REPLACE

The above will "get around" the problem you experience. Essentially you are OVERWRITING YOUR EXISTING DATABASE THOUGH so be careful!

Hope this helps -

Reinstalling sql 2005

please ... really need some guidance...
I have removed the old and reinstalled SQL server 2005 standard...
Getting the following message:
Your OS doesn't meet Service pack levels requirements
for this SQL server releaseSo I installed Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
Getting the following message: This machine does not have a product that matches this installation package.

I have Windows XP Professional 2002 32-bit (Dell), Windows XP Service Pack 2, IIS, NET Framework 2.0., 13GB , processor intel 1,5 GHz, 256MB RAM

1. What is the SKU of SQL Server 2005 are you installing? On Windows XP SP2, SQL Server Enterprise edition cannot be installed.

2. SP1 cannot be installed directly except SQL Express, which is rebuilt in SP1. SP1 should be applied after RTM is installed.

I posted this question to your other thread, but I'll post it here as well to try to get you going again. The error you are getting is a result of trying to instal a version of SQL 2005 on an OS that does not contain the appropriate OS SP, not a SQL service pack. If you can supply us with the exact OS & service pack level and the version of SQL you are trying to install, we can help out.

I'm a little confused on your OS. Can you do start -> Run and type in "winver". This will tell you your OS and SP level. Can you let me know what that shows? That way we'll be able to figure out what you need to install to get going.

Thanks,
Sam

Reinstallation problem of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition

I was forced to reinstall SQL Server due to a fault in the Full Text Engine.
I removed everything and got the message:
"A component that you have specified in the ADD_LOCAL property is already
installed. To upgrade the existing component, refer to the template.ini and
set the UPGRADE property to the name of the component."
when it reached the last section, Workstation Components.
In the installation report below (reduced for lack of space) you can find
the line:

yeah I've had a heck of a time with the SQL installer also
I just think that MS should stop trying to force a new version down our
throaats every 2 years-- and start taking usability seriously
SERIOUSLY
How many times do ou guys get prompted for missing Office components?
Doesn't it still happen in Office 2007?
I call for Ballmer to be fired and Ralph Nader to take over; MS doesn't give
a crap about customers and Nader is the only person that can save MS

Re-Index SQL Server Express User Instance?

Is there a way to re-index a SQL Server Express User Instance? If I try to open the .mdf while the website is still running, I get a message stating that the file is in use. If I shut down the web service and open the .mdf, then restart the website, then the website cannot access the .mdf while I have it open in VStudio (reminds me a lot of Access).

In the past I tried to open a user instance with SQL Server Management Studio, but then it goofed up my user-instance...so I am hesitant to try that again. Is there any way to re-index?

Thanks!

Backup and restore and adjust Web.Config, then ALTER Table drop INDEX and REINDEX, the reason is currently your User Instance is behaving like a separate instance of SQL Server and that is not valid. Hope this helps.

registering MSDE 2000 FROM SQL 2000

Hi There,

I have install msde in one computer and try to register from my sql server, the following error message is coming.

A connection could not be established to Cal-itimilsina (computer in which MSDE IS INSTALLED)

BUT THE MSDE IS RUNNING IN THE CLIENT MACHINE. Could any one please help me

Thanks.

Indra.Check this (http://www.microsoft.com/sql/msde/productinfo/features.asp) site, but in short, - Named Pipes is not supported on MSDE. You need to create an alias on your server for MSDE instance using TCP/IP protocol, and specify the alias during server registration in EM. You can also use the IP address for registration.|||Thanks, i will have a check now.|||Hi,

I setup alias with TCP/IP and try to connect with alias name as well with tcp/ip, but same error message is comming. by the way what cold be my instance, i just install msde with setup.exe from command prompt.
