Hi
All we have a requirement to Upgrade from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2008 R2,below are few questions.
1. we have Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Standard Edition (SP1) - 10.0.2531.0 (X64) on all our environments, We wanted to Upgrade from Standard Edition to sql server 2008 R2 Developer edition.
but on refering to the link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143393(v=sql.105).aspx, found it is not possible to upgrade to developer edition, so the only option left is
to uninstall and install. is there any other option and we dont want the new named instance.
2. Currently Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Standard Edition is SP1 and to upgrade to SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterpise Edition, do we need to be in SP2 or is it fine with SP1
please suggest.
