In the MSDE BOOKs there is a list of utilities and there directorys that i
should have:
x:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Binn1
-bcp2
-console
-isql2
-sqlagent
-sqldiag
-sqlmaint
-sqlservr
-vswitch
x:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn
-bcp2
-dtsrun
-dtswiz
-isql2
-isqlw
-itwiz
-odbccmpt
-osql
-rebuildm
-sqlftwiz
x:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Com
-distrib3
-logread3
-replmerg3
-snapshot3
x:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Service Manager
-scm
x:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\?
-regxmlss
That is the list that i should have, here is the list that i do have:
x:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Binn1
-cmdwrap.exe
-sqlagent.exe
-sqlmaint.exe
-sqlservr.exe
x:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn
-bcp.exe
-cnfgsvr.exe
-dcomscm.exe
-DTSRUN.exe
-OSQL.exe
-scm.exe
-sqladhlp.exe
-sqlmangr.exe
-SVRNETCN.exe
x:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Com
-DISTRIB.exe
-replmerg.exe
-snapshot.exe
x:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Service Manager
NO Service Manager Directory Exists
x:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\?
It says that this all should have been installed on the install by default
here is how installed
i moved my command prompt to the directory containing the setup folder
(C:\MSDERela)
then i ran
setup SAPWD="??"
this installed fine
what did i do wrong?
ALso i am very new to databases
the only thing that i have ever used is access which is pretty cut and dry.
I have had a lot of trouble finding simple tutorials for a beginner if any
one knows of one please let me know.
In the mean time a couple of quick questions:
1) does a database file have to be in the directory: C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data
in order for it to work?
2) other than osql how can i access my data? The Books say that thre is a
SQL Server Query analyzer but could not find it (see beginning of post)
thanks Again for the help

Hi,
I'm not sure which MSDE book you are referring to but the tools you mention
are those that are installed with SQL Server, not with the MSDE. The MSDE
ships with limited tools. The intention is that your application will do the
work. We have some tools you could try at our site. Others are at:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/msde/pa.../default.aspx.
The data files do not have to be in a specific folder but you will find life
much easier if you have them all in a particular folder.
If you are going to be doing development for the MSDE, I'd strongly suggest
you purchase a copy of the SQL Server Developer Edition. I gather it's
currently only around $49 USD and provides a wealth of things you'll find
useful during development.
HTH,

|||Greg's correct. MSDE was not intended to ship
with the full compliment of (management) tools
as SQL Server is.
If you're want to get up and running as quick as
possible then Microsoft Access (2000 and above)
is an excellent interface to MSDE for your own
internal development purposes. Micrsoft press has
a decent book on Access Data Projects also.
If you're wanting to use MSDE to develop a
distributable application, then you'll need to
be coding everything yourself.
Good luck.
