can I download enterprise manager?

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to download SQL
Enterprise Manager to install on WinXP pro
I need it to connect to an SQL server database on a
webserver, and want to avoid the 267MB trial download.
Thanks for any info
dANEM is part of SQL Client Tools.
Locate your SQL Server CD and run Setup, choose Custom install and select
Client Tools Only.
This will install EM.

Can I change the language settings after installation?

Hi All,

I have sql server 2005 dveloper edition installed on my XP pro. Both are English editions. I used the default language settings to install sql server 2005. The XP Pro has asian-language support installed and supports Chinese input.

I have tables with columns in nvarchar. But I can not input Chinese into the columns directly in the management studio or using sql statement.

How could I change the language so the Chinese chracaters being accepted?

Thanks a lot!

You can change the collation sequence at the database, table, and column level. If you didn't specify any options, then the database will be created with your default collation sequence from the instance. If you change the collation sequence on the database or table to one compatible by the Chinese character set you are using, then you can input that data. You are going to need to drop and recreate the table since switching the collation sequence on the database doesn't automatically do so on the table.|||

Thanks Michael.

I remembered that it's not easy to do this in the previous versions (maybe I'm wrong?). So I think it is the same for 2005. When I was checking properties of the database, I noticed collation could be changed. I tried and it worked for me. I did not check the table and column level but I believe your are right. I may try them later.

Can I access SQL Server 2005 via a Window XP pro workgroup network?

Hi,

I am new to SQL Server and I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 Express or Stnadard Edition on a computer runing XP pro on a XP's workgroup network using a router. Can I access the the database from another computer running XP pro on the same network? If I can, what setting do I need when installing SQL 2005 in order to do this?

Any help is appricated.

Make only sure that you enable remote connections, see the Screencast for this on my site for a detailed explanation.

Can connect with IP number but not with machine name

Running MSDE2000A named instance on an XP Pro machine as part of a domain
(W2003 server) , connecting from a client: with a connection
'machinename\instancename' i get no connection ('server not found or accss
denied'); however with the same setup and a connection
'172.0.30.14\instancename' everything works as expected. I can use an alias
for the IP number and that works but an alias for the machine name does not.
With a DHCP server, the IP address isn't permanent so how do I configure the
connection in my application?
More info - Colleagues have suggested that this is a simple DNS problem. But
I can connect to the machine using the DNS names in other apps (e.g. 'my
network Places') - it's just SQL that won't connect.

Can (LOCAL) be renamed?

Hi, I am running SQL Server Personal Edition on a Win2k Pro box, and I need
the server name in Enterprise Mgr toi be something other than (LOCAL), which
is default, can I rename it or do I have any option to reinstall it and give
it a name?
Will MSDE do as much if I need a nerwer product?
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
No need to re install. Go to query analyzer and execute SELECT @.@.SERVERNAME.
After that go to
enter prise manager and right click above local and unregister. After that
right click above the server and choose register and
in server name give the server name based on the out put of @.@.Servername.
Incase if the @.@.servername returns empty or NULL then use SP_ADDSERVER
'Servername','Local' to add a server.
After this you need to stop and start the sql server service.
Thanks
Hari
