Hi All,
I want to know what is windows internal database and what is the use of it?
In my current scenario.I have one server in which windows internal database services as well as SQL Server services also running.
Below are the configuration details of the server:
System:Windows 2003R2 Standard edition SP2 32bit
RAM:2Gb
when i click on start -> programs->In that i can see sql server 2005 and SQl server 2008R2.In 2005 SQL server configuration Manager i can see windows internal database services are running.In 2008 SQL Server configuration Manager i can see Sql server services are running.
The databases which are running in windows internal database and in SQL server instance are different.
My question is that is there any dependency between Windows internal database services(2005) and sql server services(2008).
I used to connect to the windows internal databases from sql server 2005 management studio by using below url
\\.\pipe\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##SSEE\sql\query
The details of Windows internal database:Product :Microsoft SQl Server Windows Internal Database
Platform:NT INTEL X86
The details of SQL Server instance:Product:Microsoft SQl Server Express Edition with Advanced Services
Platform:NT INTEL X86
I got request from user to migrate the sql server databases to sql server 2008r2 Enterprise edition.
What is the process i need to follow for this migration.
Any Help can be much appreciated and please let me know if any information is required on the same.
Regards,
Maheshwar Reddy
