Can update in SQL 2000 but not express beta 2

I have come across a interesting problem when creating a datagrid view in Sql express beta 2.

I created a database shop and table customers using sql manager qeries

create database shop;

use shop
create table customers(customerID int);
use shop
insert into customers VALUES ('1');

Pathetically simple I know!!, I created the same table in SQL 2000 using enterprise manager.

When I create a new C# windows project in VS2005, create a new data source and use the express data base by dragging the datagrid straight from the data sources window, I run it and it fails to update 1 to 2
the code it failing at is


return this.Adapter.Update(dataTable);

in dataset1.designer.cs

However simply creating a new project and adding the SQL 2000 instance of the database works fine

I was just wondering if anybody else has come across this problem

Regards Ross

So I worked out the problem,

in SQL express manager when I was making the tables using sql statements I neglected to set a primary key, when I made the tables in sql 2000 Enterprise manager I added primary keys out of habbit, so basically make sure primary keys are set in the tables.

Can not uncompress files during setup of beta 3 or sql2005eval

I have had problems during the beta 3 or sql2005eval edition self extracting setups. It gets to the evaluating configuration then gives the error "not enough drive space on C:\ to extract files". I have a 1.8 ghz processor with 512mbs of RAM and 44.3 gbs of hard drive space. I have no problems installing any of the versions at work. I have tried a couple of different suggested fixes and they did not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!Try this advice from a former SQL Setup tester:

Can not install SQL Server 2005

Hi, I'm unable to install SQL 2005 - it says I have

some proevious beta components that must be uninstalled first, but when

I go to ARP, there are no beta components listed. Some time back

I did install a beta version of SQL Server 2005 BOL and I did have

problems with it and I thought I had removed it. Something from

it must still be on my machine. How can I get rid of it?

Thanks

Hopefully Aaron Stebners blog will help you.

It covers many scenarios and help to uninstall to prepare for the released versions.
