I already had 2005 installed with a number of databases on my PC. Someone asked me to look at a database problem they had so sent me a script. It wouldnt run because it had the 'Date' term which is only valid in 2008.I installed 2008 alongside 2005 and 2008 management studio.When I open 2008 management studio I only see the 2005 serverI know I am doing something stupid but how I can create a new 2008 database and run the script against that to install all the objects etc[img]http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x473/tempshare/sqlp1.jpg[/img] |

| Did you install the database services for 2008 - it would probably be a named instance - or just the client.Check that the service is started and then try to connect to the instance.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.SSIS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |

| Have a look at the services from control panel or sql server configuration manager.You should see SQL Server (InstanceName) for the instance you installed.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.SSIS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
