I have SQL Server 2008 and the Management Studio installed on my machine, but I apparently only have an instance of 2005 running on it.
SQL Server 2008 Mgt Studio Info
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 10.0.2531.0
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 6.0.6002.18005
Microsoft MSXML 3.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.4216
Operating System 6.0.6002
How do I either upgrade that instance to 2008 or create a new instance?
Based on your other post, you should be fine with the express edition (found here).

SQL Server database backup restore on lower version
(13 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I am currently using Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (Version: 11.0.2100.60). When I restore backup file from the client database, I get this message:
When I search google for version 12.00.2269, there is no for such kind of version (maybe I am not found).
Please let me know where can I download for that version and after upgrading, it can still restore the database from the backup file 12.00.2269 to 11.0.2100.60?

Update

Here is my SQL server info:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 11.0.2100.60
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 6.1.7601.17514
Microsoft MSXML 3.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.11.9600.19035
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.30319.42000
Operating System 6.1.7601
Here is my Client's SQL server info :
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 11.0.2100.60
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 6.1.7601.17514
Microsoft MSXML 3.0 4.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.11.9600.18837
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.30319.42000
Operating System 6.1.7601
Only different things is Internet Explorer Version and MSXML version.I have no idea why error message shows the version is higher than us.
Sql server doesn't have the backward compatibility feature for database restoring function,
It is not possible to downgrade a database. 11.0.2100.60 is the SQL Server 2012 version. There is absolutely no way you can restore or attach this database to the SQL Server 2014 instance you are trying to restore on (11.0.2100.60 is SQL Server 2012). Your only options are:
Upgrade this instance to SQL Server 2014 (12.00.2269)
Restore the backup you have on a SQL Server 2012 instance, export all the data and import it on a SQL Server 2014 database.

I've installed SQL Server 2016 Developer Edition, because Microsoft states:
SSDT database projects in Visual Studio 2017 currently support up to SQL Server 2016. Support for SQL Server 2017 will be coming soon in a Visual Studio 2017 update.
My question is: Should I install exclusively SSMS 2016 or SQL Server Management Studio 17.1 is compatible with SQL Server 2016 Developer Edition as well ?
Thank you #scsimon for giving me an air of confidence.
I've installed SSMS 2017.1. It's compatible with SQL Server 2016, it works like a charm and, to be honest, it is much faster then SSMS 2016.
Today I installed SQL Server 2014 Express and Management Studio.
But I can not find the object model in the new version of SSMS.
Please tell me how to find the library Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo.dll and other dll?
Thanks.
Today I installed SQL Server 2014 Express and Management Studio.
It sounds like you installed just SQL Server 2014 Express and Management Studio. Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Shared Management Objects is part of the "Feature Pack" downloads for SQL Server 2014:
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2014 Shared Management Objects
SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) is a .NET Framework object model that enables software developers to create client-side applications to manage and administer SQL Server objects and services. This object model will work with SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 R2, SQL Server 2012 and SQL Server 2014.
Note: Microsoft SQL Server Management Objects requires - Microsoft SQL Server System CLR Types, that is available on this page.
Filename: X86 and x64 Package(SharedManagementObjects.msi)
I want to install SharedManagementObjects for SQL server 2012 express on a windows xp sp3 machine that has SQL Server 2008 R2 Express edition but does not have any edition of SQL Server 2012.
But one of the prerequisites for installing "SharedManagementObjects for SQL server 2012" is that microsoft sql server 2012 system CLR types must be installed.
I see i can download the SQLSysClrTypes.msi i need from Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 Feature Pack
but am not certain it will successfully install on a windows XP SP3 machine that has .NET 4.0 and Windows installer 4.5 but no SQL Server 2012.
EDIT:
Same problem as this http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/nl/sqlsmoanddmo/thread/6bcde08f-e848-40a0-bc1f-e2f803a125da
I want to do this because i have an application whose backend database can either be SQL Server 2008 R2(for clients running windows XP SP3) or SQL Sever 2012(for clients on Windows Vista and above).
This application uses SMO for doing programmatic backup and restore operations.
Now in my application when i reference SMO for SQL Server 2008 R2, backup and restore fails on systems that have SQL server 2012.
If in my application i reference SMO for SQL Server 2012, backup and restore fails on systems that have SQL server 2008 R2 (i.e XP3 clients).
What is the common best way of handling such a requirement? Or what alternatives do i have?
All i need is for the WinForms application to support both SQL Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2012 and their corresponding versions of SMO.
The System Requirements section on that download page is pretty clear:
System requirements
Supported operating systems: Windows 7, Windows
Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2, Windows Vista
Service Pack 2
There's no mention of Windows XP SP3 - so no, you cannot install this SMO library on Windows XP SP3. Time to upgrade.
I´ve an app that uses ReportViewer 2012. It needs SQLSysClrTypes 2012. I´ve tried to install it on XP but it says it needs .Net Framework 2, 3.5 or 4. Framework .Net 4 was installed but it doesn´t detect it, so I´ve installed .Net v2 and could successfully installed the SQLSysClrTypes.
Don´t know if this applies for SMO, but the CLR Types 2012 could be installed in XP.
I would like to use SQL Enterprise Manager to manage my SQL Azure Databases. Everywhere I look everyone says that if you want to use the object browser then you need R2.
However I can not find Enterprise Manager R2 anywhere. Not unless I install DataCenter R2.
Where can I find Just Enterprise Manager R2?
The SQL Azure team recommends using SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio [Express] or Data Connections under Visual Studio 2010's Server Explorer.
You can download Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM - Management Studio Express from here.
