  1. BCS 4th Semester Installationof SQL Server 2005 Express Edition andSQL Server Management Studio Express

  2. Step 1: Download SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Table A -- Decide which features you need for your installation

  3. Step 2: Identify system requirements • SQL Server 2005 Express Edition does not have significant system overhead requirements, particularly given the overpowered nature of many of today's newest servers. • The minimum system requirements for the various SQL Server 2005 versions are given in: Table B -- System and software requirements for SQL Server 2005 Express Edition

  4. Step 3: Install database software prerequisites • there are a number of software prerequisites for SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. • Before you can install the database software, you need to take the necessary steps to get these items installed.

  5. Install the following items in order • Internet Information Server 5 or higher • If your Windows server does not have IIS installed, go to Start| Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs | Add/Remove Windows Components. • .NET Framework 2.0 • Download the .NET Framework 2.0 (x86). • After downloading, execute dotnetfx.exe and follow the instructions to complete the installation. • MSXML6 • Download MSXML6. Execute msxml6.msi. This is a quick installation.

  6. Step 4: Create a SQL Server service account • Create a domain account named "SQL Express User" forth is purpose. If you're joined to a domain -- which you should be -- use Active Directory Users and Computers. • If you're just testing locally, use Computer Management to add the account. • Make sure to also assign a strongpassword to the account. • Here a user account is configured so that the password doesnotexpire. • In addition, anyone logging in as this user -- no one should be doing that though -- will not be able to change the password.

  7. Step 5: Install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition • Now, start installing SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP1. • The name of the downloaded file is SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE. • Double-click this file to start the product installation. • The contents of the file are extracted and the installation begins.

  8. Step 5: Install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition • After you start the installation, you have to agree to the typical End User License Agreement after which you're presented with a screen that shows you what pre-requisites you need to get the express edition on your system. • The installer will handle the installation of these prerequisites for you. • Click the Install button to install these items. • Once the items are installed, • clicktheNextbutton.

  9. After that, you have to provide your name and, optionally, your company's name. • I have also unchecked the box marked "Hide advanced configuration options" so you can get a look at these options during the installation.

  10. Next, you get to choose which features you want to install. • Even though the Express Edition is free, it includes many of the features found in the Standard and Enterprise editions. I've decided to install everything except replication. • Notethat I've picked also to install the ManagementStudioExpress. • This is an outstanding utility provided by Microsoft and it replaces QueryAnalyzer and EnterpriseManager. • I highly recommend you install this tool. • I'm installing into the default location, C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server. • If you want to install to a different location, click the Browsebutton to choose this newlocation.

  11. Instances were introduced in SQL Server 2000 and provide a way for you to more seamlessly serve multiple databases from a single SQL Server. • SQL Server 2005 Express Edition supports up to 16 named instances while the Enterprise Edition supports up to 50. • Formyinstallation, I'm installing SQL Server 2005 Express Edition as the defaultdatabaseinstance on my server.

  12. Serviceaccounts are used in order to better protect your SQLServer-- and the rest of your network -- in the event of a security break. • If you run your SQLServer under an administrative account, you run the risk of additional damage should your server be compromised. • Therefore, run SQLServer2005Express Edition under a user account with few, if any, rights.

  13. SQLServer can authenticateusers in two ways: (1) directly against Active Directory (Windows Authentication Mode); (2) against its own database (Mixed Mode, since Windows Authentication is also supported). • From a security perspective, Windows Authentication mode is highly preferred. • First off, you have only a single user database -- Active Directory -- to worry about.

  14. The next step of the installation involves selecting a collation method, which defines the way that your SQL Server will sort data. • If you need to maintain backwardcompatibility with older versions of SQL Server, you should choose SQL Collations. • If, however, you do not need to worry about backward compatibility, you should choose the Latin1_General collation method, unless, of course, you're using a different language.

  15. SQLServer2005Express provides a newfeature: • The ability to run sub-instances of the product under a normal user account. • User instances are useful in situations in which users are logged into Windows under a least-privileged user account. • Using userinstances, the user can still have SQL system administratorprivilegesto their SQL. • Databases housed under user instances support only a single connection and higher-end features such as replication are not supported. • If you want to support userinstances in your installation, make sure the checkbox next to "EnableUserInstances" is selected.

  16. Introduced as an add-on for SQL Server 2000, an enhancedversion of Reporting Services is included with SQL Server 2005. • For your small SQL Server2005 Express Edition installation, I recommend that you install this feature, but don't worry about customizing the configuration. • The default configuration places the tool at http://{your server name}/ReportServer. • The ReportManager tool is placed at http://{yourserver name}/Reports.

  17. Microsoft has included an errorreportingtool in other applications for quite some time. • This feature is now optionally included in SQL Server 2005Express. • Further, Microsoft wants you to send them anonymous usage data about your installation. • Neitheroption is enabled by default. • Personally, I like the error reporting service and the only way it will improve is by adding data.

  18. These are all of your options for SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. • Continue on to install the product using these selections.

  19. Installed and ready • Atthispoint, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is installed and can be managed using the SQL Server Management Studio Express tool that was installed along with the database server. • Toaccess this tool go to: • Start | All Programs |Microsoft SQL Server 2005 | SQL Server Management Studio Express.
