Good day folks, I was using MS SQL Server 2005 Express version before and aware of database size 4gig limitation when one of my database has reached its limit of 4gig. Now, I have managed to upgrade it to MS SQL 2008 Server R2 SP2 Express
with 10GIG limits. However, I am still unable to increase the database size of an existing database created from MS SQL 2005 Express. When I attempted to save my change, it failed with this error below.
CREATE DATABASE or ALTER DATABASE failed because the resulting cumulative database size would exceed your licensed limit of 4096 MB per database. SQL 1827
Is there a way to increase the database size of an existing database?
How could I verify if the MS SQL 2008 Server R2 SP2 Express is actually upgraded and running since the installation showed completed successfully? May be it is still running MS SQL Server 2005 Express?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
