Step 1: Copy Installation files

We recommend you copy the whole installation files to hard drive you are going to install

it on. It makes the installation process much faster than running it from CD/DVD once it get

started.

Here is the system looks like after the copy the entire installation files:


Step 2: Setup

Double click on the setup.exe file. Then you will get following dialog box

The following dialog appears on the screen while the install program prepares for Installation:


After few minutes (timing will vary according on your system) the following screen appears:

Step 5:

Click on “show details” button or “view detailed report link” to check for any failed processes .if

any failed process found, correct it, then click on the Re-run button to perform the checks again.


Step 6:

If all checks have passed, click on the OK button. After a few moments, the option to select the

edition and to enter the license key (or “product key”) will appear.

Step 7:

Enter the product key into the box, or choose free edition if you’re evaluation SQL server2008,

and click on the Next button:

Click on the "I accept the license terms" check box, and then click on the Next button again.

This screen show you if you have sufficient disk space on the hard drive you installing and

where you going to install.

Click on Next


Step 13: Configure the Server

This dialog box allows you to configure the service accounts that will e used to run SQL server.

If you have created Active directory or Windows NT for use with services, use these. If not then

just to get the installation up and working, use the built-in Network Service account for all three

services listed (this account does not require a password).

Change the startup type to Automatic for all services. Then these services will start the SQL

server database engine, SQL agent and SQL browser service when the server is re-booted.

Click on Next


Step 14:

This dialog box allows you to configure the database engine security.

Change the Authentication Mode to Mixed Mode unless you are certain you only need

Windows-only authentication.

If you pick Mixed Mode security, you must also enter a password for the sysadmin

Account (sa).

Enter and confirm a secure password for the sa account. That you MUST also provide a

Windows NT account on the local machine as a SQL Server administrator. If you do not want

Windows system administrators to be able walk up to the box and login to SQL Server, create a

new, local, dummy Windows user and add this account instead. Otherwise, add in the local

administrator Account, or your own Windows account on the domain in which the SQL Server

will reside.


Step 15:

Click on the Data Directories tab

Specify which drives in your systems will be used for the various types of database files.

Performance wise better put the user database directory and User log directory on

Separate physical drives. But it will depend on how Windows has been configured and how

many disk drives you have available.

Default locations as follows:

Data root directory C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server

User database directory C:\Data

User log directory C:\Logs

Temp DB directory C:\TempDB

Temp Log directory C:\TempDB

Backup directory C:\Backups


Step 16: Reporting Services and Configurations

cancel or change anything that is wrongly configures.

Click on install when you are sure you want to start the installation process.


SQL server 2008 will now install. How long it takes depend on the speed of your machine.

Finally, the installation will complete. Check weather all the component you selected install

successfully.

Click on next then installation complete successfully dialog box will appear. Click on close.


Post-installation configurations

Start/stop/pause database server using scripts

Method 1

Click Start >> Run >> type cmd to start command prompt.

Start default instance of SQL ServerType net start mssqlserver in the command prompt

Stop default instance of SQL ServerType net stop mssqlserver in the command prompt

Pause default instance of SQL ServerType net pause mssqlserver in the command prompt


If you have a named instance called DMP on your machine.

Stop ,Start, Pause and Resume a SQL Server Named Instance

� Stop DMP instance of SQL Server :�

net stop “SQL SERVER DMP”Start DMP instance of SQL Server :

� Pause net start “SQL SERVER DMP”

DMP instance of SQL Server :� Continue DMP

net pause “SQL SERVER DMP”instance of SQL Server :

Method 2

net continue “SQL SERVER DMP”

By default, sqlservr.exe is located at

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Binn.

If a second instance of SQL Server is installed, a second copy of sqlservr.exe is located in a directory such as

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\binn.

We can start one instance of SQL Server by using sqlservr.exe from a different instance, but SQL Server will start the version of the incorrect instance as well, including service packs, which may lead to unexpected results. To avoid this, use the MS-DOS change directory (cd)command to move to the correct directory before starting sqlservr.exe, as shown in the following example.

� To start the default instance of SQL Server from a command prompt

cd \Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.1\MSSQL\Binn

sqlservr.exe

� To start a named instance of SQL Server from a command prompt

sqlservr.exe -s <instancename>

� To start the default instance of SQL Server in single-user mode from a command prompt

sqlservr.exe -m

� To start a named instance of SQL Server in single-user mode from a command prompt

sqlservr.exe -m -s <instancename>


� To start the default instance of SQL Server with minimal configuration

sqlservr.exe –f

� To start a named instance of SQL Server with minimal configuration

sqlservr.exe -f -s <instancename>

Start/stop/pause database server using GUI

Firewall Configuration

On the Start menu, click Run.Type firewall.cpl .then windows firewall dialog box will be appear.

Click advanced tab.


Click on Add Port

Add the proper settings for your application. For this task we're going to run a SQL server on

port 1433(default port). Pick a name for your service, Select TCP as the protocol. Click OK to

save the rule.

Instead of Adding firewall rules using port number, you can

add it by selecting particular executable file. Click on add

program and select appropriate sql server.exe file.

That’s it. Now you should be able to connect to the SQL

Server 2008 remotely.


How to Connect Remote Database Server

Go to SQL Management Studio .click on the down arrow in the server name and click on browse

more.

Click on the network servers tab in the dialog box.

In this dialog box display available remote SQL servers.

Click on the appropriate remote server, click on OK.


Enter the credential to log the remote server. Then you can connect with the remote server. In

this case I was connected to XP2 SQL Server from XP3 Client Machine.

CLR functions

I am going to execute my queries in database called DUSHYANTHA.so I execute following

command to create database.

CREATE DATABASE DUSHYANTHA

Following simple CLR function will return “Hello World”.

CREATE FUNCTION MyFirstFunction()RETURNS varchar(30)ASBEGINDeclare @Return varchar(30)select @Return ='Hello World'return @returnend

Then I created two databases called “student” and “customer” to demonstrate CLR functions.

CREATE TABLE Student(First_name char(50),Age int,Country char(25),string as(dbo.MyFirstFunction()))


CREATE TABLE customer(First_name char(50),Age int,Country char(25),string as(dbo.MyFirstFunction()))

Then I insert some values into these tables.

INSERT INTO StudentVALUES ('Dushyantha', 23, 'Sri Lanka')INSERT INTO StudentVALUES ('Madushanka', 23, 'Sri Lanka')INSERT INTO StudentVALUES ('Punchiewa', 24, 'Sri Lanka')

INSERT INTO customerVALUES ('A', 30, 'AA')INSERT INTO customerVALUES ('B', 20, 'BB')INSERT INTO customerVALUES ('C', 25, 'CC')

After inserting value you can see there is a string value in each record which equal to “Hello

world”

SELECT * FROM customer

SELECT * FROM Student
