sqlserver agent,sqlserver 2008 compatability_level issue.

  • Hi All,

    Agent is missing in object explorer.. I searched at management from databases under object explorer. it not available.

    I had restored sql2000 databases into sqlserver 2008 instance. Then

    i trying to change the compatability level of those databases. Compatability

    level 100 is not available.

    Thanks

  • That's what I expected.

    The server you're connected to is SQL 2005, not SQL 2008. That's why you can't set compat level to 100, the highest possible is 90 for SQL 2005.

    It's express edition (free edition), which does not include SQL Agent.

    Check that you're connected to the right instance. Maybe there's a 2008 edition installed as well and you just connected to the wrong one. Or maybe you just installed the SQL 2008 client tools, not the server.

  • Hi Gail,

    I checked my instance details. I have list out here

    APRST2008\sqlexpress(sqlserver 9.0-4053)

    Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 10.0.1600.22 ((SQL_PreRelease).080709-1414 )

    Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools 2007.0100.1600.022 ((SQL_PreRelease).080709-1414 )

    Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC 6.0.6002.18005 (lh_sp2rtm.090410-1830)

    Microsoft MSXML 3.0 5.0 6.0

    Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0.6002.18005

    Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.4200

    Operating System 6.0.6002

    Once we installed sqlserver 2008. system databases will come by default.

    Here i checked the system db's.. it shows only 2005 system databases.

    My question is where is the sqlserver 2008 system db's.. its not shown my instance..

    Can you pls advice me

    Thanks

  • You don't have the SQL 2008 database engine. All you have is the 2008 client tools (management studio and the like) and the only database engine you have listed there is a SQL 2005 one.

    To get SQL 2008 service (and system DBs), you need to install the SQL 2008 database engine. Be aware of the licensing if you install something other than Express.
