SQL 2008 server is the latest in the line of Microsoft database servers and this article by Dr. Jayaram Krishnaswamy discusses the challenges one may face in installing the Developer version of this product which was released in November 2007. On a virgin machine the software probably installs without a hitch but with a history of installs, especially of the earlier versions it is anything but a joy ride. "It is almost always true for most of the software I have installed, not necessarily limited to Microsoft. However, most of Microsoft products need entry in the Window's registry and it is almost certain that one has to follow a certain protocol if one wishes to have a successful install. In fact the unsuccessful install flags out what went wrong while the initial steps do verify the requirements during installation. Despite this help and warnings one may face problems simply because it is not possible to foresee all possible combinations of hardware, software, user created error issues at launch time of the product. Again this article does not guarantee a successful install if one were to follow the steps delineated but gives you some guidance based on the author's experience."

There are several options if one wishes to move a database from a SQL Server 2005 to SQL 2008 Server. First of all there is a 'Copy Database Wizard' in SQL 2008 Server which is meant for transferring a database from any version of SQL Server 2000 and above to 2008 version. In the other option the database will be copied using the SQL Server Management Program for which the source database need not be stopped. However this is slower than the previous method and would also require the SQL Server Agent since a package has to be run. An option which works without too much hassles is manually detaching and attaching the database/log files. In this step-by-step (really two steps) tutorial by Jayaram Krishnaswamy, this simple procedure is described. If you are just interested in taking a small database from 2005 to 2008 server the author strongly recommends this procedure.

Book Description
If you want to learn SQL, you’ve picked the right book. Unlike most SQL books, this one starts by showing how to use SQL queries to extract and update the data in a database, because that's what every programmer needs to know. Then, the book shows how to design and implement a database, and how to use the server-side features like views, procedures, and transactions. Because its CD includes everything you need for running SQL on your own PC, this book works great whether you want to learn SQL or the specifics of SQL for Microsoft SQL Server.

From the Publisher
To be an effective database programmer, you need to master SQL for the database you’re going to be using. So this is first a book for programmers who use Microsoft SQL Server. However, but it is also a great book for anyone who wants to learn standard SQL, because its CD includes everything you need for running SQL on your own PC.

In section 1, you’ll learn the concepts and terms you need for working with any database. You’ll also learn how to use the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE) and the client tools for SQL Server 2000 that come on the CD. Then, you’ll be able to run SQL statements on your own PC. At that point, you’ll be prepared for rapid progress as you learn SQL.

In section 2, you’ll learn all the skills for retrieving data from a database and for adding, updating, and deleting that data. These skills move from the simple to the complex so you won’t have any trouble if you’re a SQL novice. And they present skills like using outer joins, summary queries, and subqueries that will raise your SQL expertise if you do have SQL experience.

In section 3, you’ll learn how to design a database and how to implement that design by using either SQL DDL (Data Definition Language) statements or the Enterprise Manager that comes with SQL Server. When you’re done, you’ll be able to design and implement your own databases. But even if you’re never called upon to do that, this section will give you perspective that will make you a better SQL programmer.

To complete your SQL skills, section 4 presents the skills for working with database features like views, stored procedures, functions, triggers, cursors, and transactions. These are the features that give a database management system much of its power. So once you master them, you’ll have a powerful set of SQL skills.
