Capacity of DB

Hi,
We have an old version (well one year) of MSDE in which all databases are
limited to a capacity of 2 gig (per database). If have heard that there might
be a new version of MSDE in which the Databases capacity would be at 8 gig
(per database).
My question is : Is this a fact or a rumor. And if it is true that the newer
version of MSDE gives the posibility to have 8 gig databases. What is the
version of MSDE that gives such a capacity for batabases.
Thanks for your help
Stéphane Pelletier
SQL Express is based on SQL 2005 and is a replacement for MSDE. It will be
limited to 4gb per database and should be released some time late this
summer.
MSDE 2000 is limited to 2gb per database.

Can't uninstall previous version of AdventureWorks database

I want to install the new (February 2007) sample databases. The readme says any previous version must be removed by dropping the database., then running Remove from Add or Remove Programs. I've detached the database, but when I try to uninstall it I get the following message:

"Error 1309.Error reading from file: pathandfilename.mdf. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it."

What should I do.

Barry

It sounds like the uninstall is expecting the file to exisit and you much have deleted it? If you run a repair first it should replace the file then you can run an uninstall.

Thanks

Michelle

|||Both the AdventureWorksDB mdf and ldf files are there. All I've done is detached them first. I tried "Repair"ing the installation first. This ran successfully, but I still couldn't uninstall afterwards.|||Once you have detached the databases then it means that is uninstalled, try to reinstall by applying from the Feb.2007 update.|||Deleting the two database files (after detaching of course!), then running the Uninstall from Add/Remove programs worked!

Can't Uninstall 2005 Beta

I am trying to uninstall the beta version so I can install the CTP version.
I tried using the Cleanup Wizard that came with the CTP version but it errors
when trying to uninstall the beta version - says I have to use Add/Remove
programs.
But when I try to use Add/Remove programs, I get a message that says "the
.Net Framework 2.0 is not installed. Please install before running setup."
The 2.0 beta framework is installed.
How do I uninstall the beta SQL Server and all its components (reporting
services, notification services, etc.)?Hi
Is the correct version of the 2.0 framework installed (the one that came
with your beta).
It is best to ask SQL Server 2005 Beta questions in the beta newsgroups as
MS will give support in those and not here.
Regards

Have you read the readme file that comes with the Beta? Gives you all the
information there.
