Re: (ot) sql server 2005 express sp3 installation onto vista os
FYI, a) Project deadline is days away. One should probably not to change horse while crossing a river (of course another could argue "should you really need to cross the river?") b) The randomly reported error may not accurately reflect sql server 2005 express sp3 installation success or failure with Vista. Too bad MS is not very accurate on this, "only a small number of users has this (installation) problem", also, in rare situation it would crash a user's computer, shameful. c) I have another option. d) Converting the app from cf8 to railo has already caused me quite a bit of pain not because railo has some real issue but because of misunderstanding or difference in expectation. Would like to avoid this especially now. e) I leave the option open to move away from MS DBMS but right now timing is way too bad. But if MS is on my back then hell I would be forced to take action. Then who the heck am I? Kidding myself! f) Intend to publish the db schema (or most of them) in case other cfers would like to extend the app. But definitely not now. >Out of curiosity, after all the problems you have had with MSSQL Express >and all the alternatives that have been offered.

Out of curiosity, after all the problems you have had with MSSQL Express and all the alternatives that have been offered. Are you going to continue to use MSSQL Express? Or will you try using one of the alternatives? Best Regards.

Those two registry branches are pretty standard for XP probably Vista is a quite different "beast", could you run a key word search for "Windows Installer" at the computer level across all registries with regedit for me? Would greatly appreciate it. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: (ot) sql server 2005 express sp3 installation onto vista os
Looks like it's still Vista SP1, Home Premium Edition. No clue what version of the Installer is in place. There are no entries in those keys that are specific to the installer itself, at least not on my OS. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

SQL Express has its own problems (what > do you mean I can't move data with it??), but that's not a Vista issue. Could you look up Windows Installer version from registry on your Vista box for me? Probably here are places to start, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components Also, what edition of your Vista os?

PostgreSQL. Supports silent installation, PostgreSQL driver is included in Railo out of the box. And PostgreSQL is licensed under the BSD license so you can use it without fear of having to release your own stuff as open source.

Actually, I run SQL 2005 Express on my Vista box at home for dev work, and it's actually been fine. SQL Express has its own problems (what do you mean I can't move data with it??), but that's not a Vista issue. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

sql lite is eliminated for it's not a dbms but a c library for a dbm. of the remaining 3, which one is most compatiable with ms sql server 2005 syntax and feature-wise? do they all support quiet installation? do h2 and derby support dll as well? how about creating datasource connection to railo cfml engine? fk ms! it made me so mad (their own os, their own dbms, all fucked up!) >Mysql, sql lite, h2, derby = no install > >All of which have rich SQL dialects and are very capable. > >Problem solved! > >G! > >On Tue, Aug 11, 2009 at 9:47 PM, D > >> >> I'd like to hear people's experience on this, my users/customers reported >> tons of problem with it while generally positive on XP.

Mysql, sql lite, h2, derby = no install All of which have rich SQL dialects and are very capable. Problem solved! G!

Why? Because there's no gui yet? I'm setting up a new server this weekend and am planning on plugging in and playing with MSDE, which apparently has a GUI now and does not have the single-processor limit. I have MSDE running elsewhere but as something plugged in by a 3rd-party app (LiveStats).
