MSDE Sort Page

Hi,
I would like to install MSDE by selecting options from the
screen and not by typing commads at command prompt, just
the same way of installing SQL Server 2000.
I would also like to change the Sorting and collation
options under MSDE.
Please Help.
Thanks
Asim

you have then to provide your own custom tool, which will then pass al
gathered info to the setup.exe via standard command line parameters or INI
settings

I think your message did not come completely. I would
appreciate if you can send it once again.
Also please let me know how can I change by what code, the
sort or collation page setting after the MSDE has been
installed. My email is asim@.dataocean.com
Thanks

my message was complete... LOL
I apologise if it was not clear
you have to implement a vb/vc/.net/delphi pre-installer, which collects all
user's input regarding settings like SAPWD, DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS,
INSTANCENAME, SECURITYMODE, TARGETDIR, DATADIR and COLLATION (for sort
order)...
then you have shell out to setup.exe passing all parameters (or setting them
in the referenced INI file)
as regard COLLATION, you can not change the system collation after the
instance has been installed...

you can create databases with different collations, and you can define
different collation at column level too...
as regard the defaul collation, I think MSDE does not provide the rubuild
utility, so you probably have to uninstall MSDE and reinstall it

you can investigate the collation settings like
SET NOCOUNT ON
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY ( 'Collation' ) AS [Server wide Collation] ,
DATABASEPROPERTYEX ( 'master' , 'Collation' ) AS [Specific Database
Collation] ;
as for the specifi instance and for each database...

MSDE newbie quetsion: importing data from SQL Server

I've been given a file with no extension, and told that it's "a full
export from our SQL server tables".
What sort of file is this likely to be, and is there any way I can
import it into MSDE?

it really depend what kind of file it is...
it can be a full backup of a database, and you can test it executing from
any query tool
RESTORE HEADERONLY
FROM DISK = 'c:\....\filename'
which returns a result set indicating the content, if any and valid, of the
potential backup, or something like
Server: Msg 3242, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The file on device 'd:\cursor.txt' is not a valid Microsoft Tape Format
backup set.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE HEADERONLY is terminating abnormally.
it can even be a DML sql file, containing a list of INSERT INTO statements
you have to execute to load an existing table... or a bulk copy export you
have to bulk insert..
