SQLServer runtime aloneHi
I'm sure somebody else has asked this same question, it's pretty basic I develop an app using SQLServer, now I need to install the app in my boss laptop to make a presentation. 1. Do I need to install the whole SQLServer from the installation CD or It is possible to install only a runtime in order to allow the app to run? 2. Where is the SQLServer DB runtime and How to install it? thks -- Kenny M. Where will the data be? On your bosses laptop or on a server? If on the laptop, then you do need the
database engine on his machine. This could be SQL Server Express (a free version), and if you want to label that "runtime", you are welcome... -- Show quoteTibor Karaszi, SQL Server MVP http://www.karaszi.com/sqlserver/default.asp http://www.solidqualitylearning.com/ "Kenny M." <Ken***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:DEE9B1C2-015E-4E64-BC11-7C10CB488BD7@microsoft.com... > Hi > > I'm sure somebody else has asked this same question, it's pretty basic > > I develop an app using SQLServer, now I need to install the app in my boss > laptop to make a presentation. > > 1.

Yes the database is going to be on the Laptop just for presentation purposes, so I just want the application to run to present a demo after that everything will be erased from my boss' laptop I'm using SQLServer2000 so base on your response I think what I need him to install is MSDE(Desktop Engine) , and copy the .MDF and .LDF file to a folder Am I right? -- Show quoteKenny M.

But you might want to consider installing Express (which can read 2000 databases and database backups) and make sure that your app work on 2005 (Express). I haven't dealt with MSDE but from what I've heard, Express is much better to work with regarding deployment, installation etc. -- Show quoteTibor Karaszi, SQL Server MVP http://www.karaszi.com/sqlserver/default.asp http://www.solidqualitylearning.com/ "Kenny M." <Ken***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:A14078CB-4463-42A0-89C3-11976425C787@microsoft.com... > Hi thanks for your answer, > > Yes the database is going to be on the Laptop just for presentation > purposes, so I just want the application to run to present a demo after that > everything will be erased from my boss' laptop > > I'm using SQLServer2000 so base on your response I think what I need him to > install is MSDE(Desktop Engine) , and copy the .MDF and .LDF file to a > folder > > Am I right? > > > -- > Kenny M. > > > "Tibor Karaszi" wrote: > >> Where will the data be?

Since Kenny was going to demo something for this boss, I assumed that the demo would take place within the office premises, in which case I would expect a server to be available. For the case you take a machine off-site for demos, I would strongly recommend that you install SQL Server - and keep it installed, and then make sure that the laptop is not used for dirty work in between to avoid that you get haunted by the demo ghost. -- Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, esq***@sommarskog.se Books Online for SQL Server 2005 at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/downloads/books.mspx Books Online for SQL Server 2000 at http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/previousversions/books.mspx  |
