You're in the
sql server new users
group:SQL Server 2005 and SQL Express
sql server new users:
2003. I subsequently installed Visual Studio, which installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition CTP. I am concerned that the Express Edition might interfere with the regular SQL Server. Are there application notes to which I can refer to see if there might be a conflict, or should I just uninstall Express to be safe?
This is best asked on the SQL 2005 newsgroup.

Gail, when I click on the link you gave (as many others seem to give in this
batch of "newgroups", I get routed to a general overview page and when I click on the SQL Express 2005 CTP link on that page I am in a loop. So, for me, telling me to go look at that is extremely useless. I accept it may be my problem but this whole sequence of screens isn't really telling me how to find the information I need.

Mike, Thank you very much. That was an excellent response and very helpful.
I am trying to uninstall a version of SQL Express so I can install another one...but I cannot install a new one or uninstall the old one. I know that detailed question is off topic to his group, and you have helped me find a path to the right place where I saw pointers that didn't go where they said. Thanks again.

Yeah, the SQL 2005 newsgroup links on Microsoft's communities webpages
don't seem to be going where they ought to. If you've got a NNTP news reader (like Mozilla Thunderbird <http://www.mozilla.org/> or Microsoft Outlook Express, included in recent versions of Internet Explorer <http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx>) you can just get the news feeds straight from Microsoft's private news server (news://privatenews.microsoft.com) and subscribe to the appropriate SQL 2005 newsgroups (I think the username/password for the MS private news server are private/private off the top of my head). That said, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition can happily run on the same box as other instances of SQL Server 2005 (be they Express Edition or one of the other editions like Workgroup, Standard, Enterprise, etc.). Microsoft's SQL 2005 website is here <http://www.microsoft.com/sql/2005/default.mspx>. I haven't been through the whole thing but there are various links that may be helpful to you (like whitepapers, etc.). However, if it was me and I knew I already had another SQL 2005 instance on the box, I would uninstall the Express Edition instance because, assuming it's just a local dev box, there's no need to have 2 instances (just more management overhead) - you can just as easily create DBs & manipulate data on your existing Yukon instance. There may be a few minor differences between your Express instance and your other instance depending on which beta/CTP each instance is (it is still beta software after all), but to start developing with Visual Studio any of the later CTPs should be fine. -- *mike hodgson* blog: http://sqlnerd.blogspot.com [quoted text, click to view] Lou Vogel wrote:
