UPGRADE FROM SQL 2008 EXPRESS TO SQL 2012 EXPRESS INSTALL
SQL 2008 Express limit is 4GB (if you install the full-blown version there will be no practical limit)Your plan of copy the MDF / LDF and Attach sounds fine (make sure that SQL Service on the current machine is STOPPED before you copy, or that you DETACH the databases before you copy - but then you will have to re-ATTACH them afterwards).If the database needs to be online and stopping/detach+re-attach would be a problem, then restoring the last full Backup file instead would be fine for a test on Machine-B.I imagine (but I don't know) that there is an UPGRADE route from MSDE to SQL2008 Express. " I should upgrade so the new d/b would be a 10 GB limit"Ah, OK, I understand now. Is SQL Server Management Studio Express capable of doing the Attach operation? I don't have it on this computer but it is on the machine that has the database.Thank you again for all help.
ldf to that machine and "attach"? Then when it's all running well and we're happy, then do the same on the real machine (after uninstalling MSDE)?I'm going to be working on this tomorrow so I'm hoping to have a "plan" in place. ldf files from MSDE to a jump drive, install SQL 2008 on a different machine, copy the. We always do major version changes by migrating to a new machine as there is no chance of the new installation fouling up the existing one - and we can test on the new machine and then when happy take a fresh copy and "go live" on the new machine.

UPGRADE FROM SQL 2008 EXPRESS TO SQL 2012 EXPRESS FREE
I'm using the free Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. All of this is greek to me (not a d/b guy but I've been told to do it).Can I install 2008 R2 on the same machine with MSDE, use a different InstanceName, and then copy or move the existing database to 2008 R2? I've seen in some examples Attach/Detach. So my bosses said if we are switching databases we should use a new InstanceName. We are thinking about using a different InstanceName because "DB2000" shows up in a lot of examples out there. If I install 2008 R2, using a different InstanceName, can I create the same database name? Our current InstanceName is "DB2000".

I have a question on exactly how to do that.
In a recent post I made here it was suggested I should upgrade all my database to R2 because of the 10 GB limit. We've got lots of great SQL ServerĮxperts to answer whatever question you can come up with.
