Tips For Flourishing SQL Server Deployment

By Bjorn O'connor


The SQL server deployment process has a number of steps that must be completed for a valid installation. Ever since the advent of structured query language (SQL) requirements to implementing databases has transformed how data and information resources are shared between systems and users. The installation process itself requires the kits that are packaged on media like the CD or DVD depending on the software version that is being distributed

This installation package will contain the database engine and the core components within a single unit. However during the process other components like database mirroring data transformation services SQL server agent and browsers must be manually invoked because they are disabled by default. This is made possible through the installer interface from where the selection of what is required can be appropriately made.

Generally the process commences by activating the setup . Exe file located in the root directory on the installation package media which can either be a CD or DVD. Other times this process will start automatically after the respective media is mounted on to the target computer in an auto-run process. This self extracting and executing procedure is typical of the wizard setup programs.

Alternatively the process can also be performed locally or remotely using multiple instance installations carried out from the command line. This approach makes use of the INI file from where the system or database administrator can carry out many of the tasks. Such tasks are like specifying the computer that is the target establishing its directory and changing the current setup to include other components like analysis server and replication.

The other configuration requirements that are important during installation include assigning the properties of the services for the agent analysis or reporting components. This must be carried out concurrently with a definition of the components security context. Afterwards a definition of the instances and options like the authentication mode can be implemented as well.

When there is a requirement to perform clustered installation this will be accomplished through the installer interface. Here the desired components can be checked or included whereas those that are not required at the moment may be deselected. Additionally the addition or removal of nodes can also be completed.

Additionally the software at the time of such an installation automatically ascertains for other support features that are needed. These are those considered as very critical to attaining a stable setup up process. In addition these features are required in their updated form to work well. This includes the native client . NET framework and a host of other supporting files.

Significantly though it remains a requirement to ascertain that all the necessary services are running after the installation completes to conclude its success. While the process is carrying on the software is capable of checking whether the target computer name has changed. If this is the case the software will automatically update the critical parameters to reflect this current status. In this way the replicas of a disk containing SQL server deployment can be copied across a number of systems.
