Hi, i am using sharepoint 3.0 and default Embedded Version of SQL express.

How to change the instance name?

Hello DBA's

I have installed SQL Server 2005 on a machine with named instance, but later I noticed that I created it with the wrong name than desired. Now I need to change the instace name of the SQL Server that I have installed. How can I do that

Thanks

Satya

There is not a supported way to rename an instance. You need to uninstall and then reinstall.

Thanks,

how to change the instance name back to default of SQL2k5

hi,

While installing SQL SERVER 2005, I had opted for providing custom name for the SQL Server and named it as for eg. as 'xyz' . Now I would prefer to change it back to default instance so that I can use server=localhost in my connection string of my ASP.NET page. With the custom instance name everytime I have to give
server="Machinename\xyz" which is annoying as I will have to change the connection strings in so many places for my exisiting ASP.NET page.

For e.g.

strConnection="server="Machinename\xyz";database=test;Integrated Security=SSPI;";

I tried using server=(local). It did not work...:(

Also on my another machine which has SQL2k5 installed with default instance I am able to use this string:
strConnection="server=localhost;database=test;Integrated Security=SSPI;";

while the same string I cannot use on the one in which I provided the instance name.

Guess uninstall is the only way.

anyone knows how can I change it back to default instance?

I'm not sure if there is a way to change an instance name. If you must do this, install another copy of SQL Server with the default instance name. Then backup your databases in the xyz instance. Restore them in the default instance. Then uninstall xyz instanace. As for the programs with changing connections strings in web apps, I would recommend pointing them to datasources instead of putting connections string in there. Then, if you modify your sql server configuration you simply have to change the datasouce and not all of your web.config files.|||

Thanks JonM. I know how to create datasources but I don;t know what needs to be put in the ASP.NET file or web.config files to establish the connection.

Suppose I have database called 'test' with DSN name as 'test' in the 'xyz' instance of SQL Server on my machine named 'Development'

How do I achieve this?

Thank you once again for your help.

|||

Basically you change your connection string to 'Datasource=xyx', and remove all of the other stuff, you may still have to specify a username and password if you didnt specify it in the datasouce.

How to change the height of a row using expressions?

Is it possible to have a report parameter that will change the height of rows in a report? The height property of a matrix row does not seem to support expressions.

My goal is to instruct a single row sub-report to grow in height until it fits the height of the parent report cell.I thought that I could pass the height of the parent row as a parameter to the sub-report and then change the height of the sub-report using an expression.

Any help will be appreciated,

Dom.

No, currently row height can not be dynamically changed through expression. This feature is on our wish list for a future release.|||

Thanks for the reply, a lot of posts in this section are left unanswered.

Do you know then how I could tell a sub-report to grow in height until it fits the parent cell of the main report?

|||Hi ,
I found the following article that talks about the same. Read the summary
below for breif info .
SUMMARY:
==============
This article describes how to change the location of the data and log files
for any SQL Server 7.0 or SQL Server 2000 database.
Moving SQL Server databases to a new location with Detach/Attach :
================================================== ===============
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 224071 :
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;224071
Moving the master database:
===========================
Change the path for the master data and log files in SQL Server Enterprise
Manager.
Note You may optionally change the location of the error log here as well.
Right-click the SQL Server in Enterprise Manager and click Properties.
Click the Startup Parameters button and you will see the following entries:
-dD:\MSSQL7\data\master.mdf
-eD:\MSSQL7\log\ErrorLog
-lD:\MSSQL7\data\mastlog.ldf
-d is the fully qualified path for the master database data file.
-e is the fully qualified path for the error log file.
-l is the fully qualified path for the master database log file.
Change these values as follows:
Remove the current entries for the Master.mdf and Mastlog.ldf files.
Add new entries specifying the new location: -dE:\SQLDATA\master.mdf
-lE:\SQLDATA\mastlog.ldf
Stop SQL Server.
Copy the Master.mdf and Mastlog.ldf files to the new location (E:\Sqldata).
Restart SQL Server.

How to change the directories used by the "SQL Server Analysis Services"

I had to change the directories used by the SQL Server Analysis Services. This is what I have done.

I have changed the directories for the SQL Server Analysis Services through the properties window Next I stopped the SQL Server Analysis Services and moved the entire OLAP directory to a different directory on the same drive Then I tried to start the SQL Server Analysis Services which fails

By changing the directories back to their original values in the msmdsrv.ini file and moving the entire directory back to its original location I was able to start the SQL Server Analysis Services, but I really need to move the directories, any help is appreciated.

As with any application, after it is installed, it is not easy to move it to different location. I would strongly recommend that you consider re-installing SSAS.

But, there is a way for you to move data folder, that is usually the biggest folder.

For that go to SSAS properties, change parameter: DataDir to your desired location, then stop SSAS, move your data folder to new location and start SSAS.

How to change the Default value of a Column

how to change the default table locking type ?

Hi guys,
Is there anyway to change the default recode locking type (Table
Locking) to row locking !! ?
Thanks in help

As far as I know SQL Server begins with a low type (row locking) and
increase if it needs.

AllowRowLocks, AllowPageLocks, DisAllowRowLocks, DisAllowPageLocks for each
index.
By default, SQL Server considers the locking granularity automatically, and
the default choices it makes are usually best.
