How to install on a server?

  • Hi everybody, I have a simple question. Is it possible to install SQL 2005 on a Yahoo Web Hosting Server? and how?

    Do I have to have it also installed locally to be able to use it?

    Thanks alot everybody and I hope to get this squared away with your help.

  • I am not sure if I understood your question but i think ur are trying to host a website using Yahoo as your Web host or Service provider. If this is the case then I think the best people to help you would be tech support at yahoo . As per their website . it seems they have a MySQL database that comes as part of the web hosting package.

    So i think the answer to your question is No you cannot install SQL Server 2005 on a yahoo web hosting server. 🙂

  • Well, yes to most of what you said, I have a site hosted with yahoo and needed to install SQL Server 2005. Unofrtunately I hope you are wrong when you say that SQL 2005 cannot be installed. Because if thats so, life just got that much more complicated.

  • No you can't install.

    They apparently only offer mysql.

    However, you could always do access instead 🙂

  • Any reason you can't move to a hosting service that offers SQL Server? There's a big ad on the http://www.asp.net forums right now.
