Install Second Instance Of SQL Server 2005

I'm trying to install a second instance of SQL Server 2005 to an existing
server where Service Pack 2 is installed. Nothing special - no clustering, I
just want an additional instance for QA purposes.
The problem that I'm experiencing is that I receive an error message during
the installation:
Error 1603 installing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup Support Files
The log file doesn't provide any description of an error. My only guess at
this point is that my current instance has higher versions of files than the
ones on the original install disk.
Any suggestions on how to proceed? Should I wipe-out the server and start
over?
I would appreciate any assistance. THANKS!!!
Regards,
RayHi Ray,
You could try running sqlrun.msi (in the setup directory) directly,
instead of the setup.exe. That would forego the installation of the
Setup Support Files. Not sure if that works, though.

Install problems on one system

Hi;

Thanks for your response.
By default, strong password is a policy in Windows 2003. From your
description, I understand that your SQL Server 2005 ran with mixed
authentication mode and you log on the SQL 2005 with sa account.
I would like to know whether or not you can log on the SQL Server 2005 with
sa account which password is weak. Which place did this issue occurs?
To let me better understand this issue, I would like you could mail me
(changliw@.microsoft.com) a screenshot of your issue.
In SQL Server 2005, you can modify sa password and cancel the strong
password policy via:
Log on into Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio with sysadmin;
Expand the Security folder;
Expand the Logins folder;
Right click sa account and click Properties on the pop menu;
Cancel the selection of "Enforce password policy";
Modify the sa password if you want to.
Sincerely yours,
Charles Wang
Microsoft Online Community Support|||Hello;
Not exactly. I have not installed Sql Server 2005 yet because of these two
problems.
1) It has greyed out reporting services and I need to install that.
2) It wants a strong password during install. How can I set it to not
require that during install?
What is weird is this is a Windows 2003 test system and I have another
identical test system that did not have these problems. The only difference
is the other system has IIS installed.
So, how can I fix this?

Reporting Services requires IIS - that's how it delivers the reports...

http://www.realsqlguy.com|||Yes, Reporting Service is a web-based application. I recommend that Install
IIS 6.0 first and then try again.
You can install the component via "Add/Remove Components" from control
panel or "Add or remove a role" from "Manage Your Server" in the start menu.

That's due to your windows security policy on password.
You can try executing the statement ALTER LOGIN sa WITH CHECK_POLICY=OFF.
For more information on password policy, you can refer to:
Strong Passwords

pleasure to be of assistance.
Charles Wang
Microsoft Online Community Support|||Hi;
Let me ask the question a little differently:
1) Why does this copy of Windows 2003 have a strong password policy when
another test system that I installed the same does not?
2) The password it will not allow for Sql Server it did allow as the
administrator password for Windows itself. How is it there is a policy that
requires the strong password only from Sql Server?
3) How can I turn off this policy for all of Windows on this system? It's a
test system so we don't want strong passwords required.

Appreciate your response.
For your first question, Windows Server 2003 has strong password policy by
default, so if another test system doesn't have that policy, it may be
changed.
For your seconde question, SQL Server doesn't force a database to have
strong password even Windows 2003 has that policy. However this is decided
by authentication mode of SQL Server 2005. If you log on your SQL Server
2005 with Windows Authentication, your SQL Server password policy is based
on Windows policy and should be changed in Windows security policy;
otherwise, if you log on SQL Server 2005 with SQL Authentication, you can
modify the password policy in SQL Server 2005 Management Studio:
1. Expand the the Login of Security node;
2. Right click the login account and click Properties;
3. Cancel the selection of "Enforce password policy".
For your third question, if your computer is in domain, you need cancel the
policy in your domain contrller first. For local configuration, you can do
via "Start->Administrative Tools->Local Security Policy->Account
Policy->Password Policy". Please refer to the following articles to change
the policy:

Thanks for your response.
By default, strong password is a policy in Windows 2003. From your
description, I understand that your SQL Server 2005 ran with mixed
authentication mode and you log on the SQL 2005 with sa account.
I would like to know whether or not you can log on the SQL Server 2005 with
sa account which password is weak. Which place did this issue occurs?
To let me better understand this issue, I would like you could mail me
(changliw@.microsoft.com) a screenshot of your issue.
In SQL Server 2005, you can modify sa password and cancel the strong
password policy via:
Log on into Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio with sysadmin;
Expand the Security folder;
Expand the Logins folder;
Right click sa account and click Properties on the pop menu;
Cancel the selection of "Enforce password policy";
Modify the sa password if you want to.
Sincerely yours,

Microsoft Online Community Support|||Hello;
Not exactly. I have not installed Sql Server 2005 yet because of these two
problems.
1) It has greyed out reporting services and I need to install that.
2) It wants a strong password during install. How can I set it to not
require that during install?
What is weird is this is a Windows 2003 test system and I have another
identical test system that did not have these problems. The only difference
is the other system has IIS installed.
So, how can I fix this?

Reporting Services requires IIS - that's how it delivers the reports...

http://www.realsqlguy.com|||Yes, Reporting Service is a web-based application. I recommend that Install
IIS 6.0 first and then try again.
You can install the component via "Add/Remove Components" from control
panel or "Add or remove a role" from "Manage Your Server" in the start menu.

Installation

I am trying to install msde on server 2003 platform. No matter what I try
when the installation reaches 1 second remaining it then rolls back the
installation process.

please add the
/L*v "c:\MsdeLog.txt"
parameter to the setup.exe boostrap installer call, in order to enable
verbose logging of the installation process..
you can later inspect that text file (about 2mb for a complete succesfull
installation) for
RETURN VALUE 3
entries... about 10/15 lines before each entry some (sometime cryptic)
description of the problem will be reported..

|||Ryan,
I had exactly the same problem trying to install MSDE SP3. After hours of
searching I never found a definitive answer for the problem. What finally
worked for me was to completely clean out my failed installation attempts
(including the registry) and install MSDE from scratch using the new SP4
file. This file will allow you to create a new install as well as upgrade
existing MSDE installations. The command that I used for the installation
(which installs a named instance) is:
Setup DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 INSTANCENAME="mynamedinstance"
SAPWD="mypassword" /L*v C:\MSDE_setup.log
This approach worked for me on the first try. Hope it helps... RS

Inserts per Second

SQL Server 2005;
What rank of inserts per second could be archived
on a modern desktop (1CPU/3GHz/1GB) hardware?
How this compare to a dedicated server hardware?
And most important question;
In a scenario when an applications writes received data to a database.
Which insert method would give the fastest results?
And which method do you recommended for actual use?
(bulk insert, asynchronous inserts, packaged inserts, or something else)
Thanks,
Mitja SemolicYour question is impossible to answer. There are too many variables.
Your "on a modern desktop" question --
Do you mean that you would have SQL Server installed on this "modern
desktop" and you would be inserting data locally?
Or do you mean that a client application would be running on this desktop
and inserting data to a SQL Server ON THE NETWORK?
How is your application written? How are your stored procedures or insert
statements? Do you SET NOCOUNT ON or do you receive the "n rows affected"
from your insert statement?
Did you drop the non-clustered indexes on your tables before running the
inserts?
If you want a super fast "just get the data in there" routine, BULK INSERT
is probably your fastest bet. If you want to be able to create an error
file you will need to use BCP. If you want to insert your data one row at a
time, read the file and call an insert stored procedure or build the T-SQL
within your application to perform the insert.

I don't want to confuse you with a simple question.
But are there any concrete benchmark result
that could showcase the SQL server performance
in different scenarios and different hardware?
Let me ask you a similar question:s
How fast a car can go, what is its track time?
How many frames per second can draw a graphics card for a specific game?
Are this questions also impossible to answer?
Some thinks should be left simple.

inserting record into second database from a stored procedure in first database

is it possible to insert record into second database from a stored procedure which is in first database?
If the store proc include an INSERT INTO statement. Run a search for INSERT INTO in SQL Server BOL(books online). Hope this helps.
