how does one enable full text search for sql server 2008 express in windows vista ?
Did you install the version of SQL Server Express which supports full text search? It's one of the options when you choose which edition to install.
From the download page description of SQL Server 2008 Express with Advanced Services:
SQL Server database engine - create, store, update and retrieve your data
SQL Server Management Studio Basic - visual database management tool for creating, editing and managing databases
Full-text Search - powerful, high-speed engine for searching text-intensive data
Reporting Services - integrated report creation and design environment to create reports
So if you didn't install the "Advanced Services" version, I suggest you do so now. I expect you can upgrade from the "standard" version though.

I have MsSQL database which is created in MSSQL 2012 SQL server.
On my local machine I have installed MSSQL 2008 SQL server.
Will the 2012 database work in MSSQL 2008?
Also,I have installed MSSQL 2012 SQL server on my local system.Do I need to install MSSQL management studio for 2012 SQL server?
Is it required for user interface?
A full database backup and restore to the new server will not work. SQL server does not allow that to a previous version.
You can however create the schema and load the data in manually through SSIS or BCP.
For SSMS you can connect to a previous version.
Most of the features will work, But features specific to SQL Server 2012 may not work.
You don't need to use Management Studio of SQL Server 2012 in order to browse SSMS-2012 database. You can still continue to use the 2008 R2's IDE.
Whether a 2012 database will work on a 2008R2 server depends.
If you are deploying to your 2008R2 server by running T-SQL scripts then it will only work if
The database objects used in your 2012 database were available in 2008R2
You are not using SQL2012 T-SQL enhancements in your scripts
Your scripts do not depend on system objects or views that were introduced in SQL2012
The local edition of SQL2008R2 is compatible with the SQL2012 edition. For example SQL2008R2 Express will not like SQL2012 Enterprise Edition features.
Ideally you will be using the Developer Edition for your local instance as this is simply a throttled version of Enterprise Edition.
If you are trying to restore to 2008R2 from a 2012 backup then no, it won't work.
Given that SQL Management Studio is a free download why would you stick with the SQL2008R2 version? If you have licenced SQL2012 then you are licenced for the SQL2012 version of SSMS. Why not go the whole hog and install SSMS for SQL2017?
If you do not like SMSS then a paid for alternative might be Aquafold Data Studio. This has the advantage of supporting many database platforms from a single IDE.
it is not neccesarily required to have ssms 2012 . it will work as we have the sql server installed
Just reiterating PingPongOng - a backup and restore wont work as you can't install a newer database onto an older server. You can however go the other way, so a 2008 database could migrate to a 2012 server.
As others have said, you need to create scripts.
Right click on the 2012 database, and on the menu that appears -> Tasks -> Generate Scripts and follow the wizard that appears. This will allow you to create just the schema or schema and data (if required).
I haven't used SQL Server in many years and installed SQL Server 2014 Standard Edition on my Windows 8 development machine today. I'm unable to find the SQL Analyzer tool which from other posts seems to have been renamed to Profiler. What word should I search on to find this application (Windows Search) or is there a simpler way to find it?
I'm not sure if this matters, but I started off with the Express edition of of 2012, couldn't find the tools either and then upgraded to the 2014 Standard Edition.
Thanks in advance.
You need to install SQL server with the install that includes SQL Server Management studio. The Advanced pack contains everything including full text indexing if I remember.
If you've installed the standard edition you might have it already - look for SQL Server Management Studio in your apps.
If not you can download it separately.
SQL Express with Tools is the minimum version that comes with Profiler. That would be the case for both SQL Server (...) 2012 and 2014. There is Profiler for Db Engine and Profiler for Analysis Services and the former is going away after SQL 2016 as described on https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms181091(v=sql.120).aspx
"... announcing the deprecation of SQL Server Profiler for Database Engine Trace Capture and Trace Replay. These features will be supported in the next version of SQL Server, but will be removed in a later version. The specific version of SQL Server has not been determined. The Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Trace namespace that contains the Microsoft SQL Server Trace and Replay objects will also be deprecated. Note that SQL Server Profiler for the Analysis Services workloads is not being deprecated, and will continue to be supported."
I know this question is asked for many times.But I am unable to find a solution after googling much.I have installed MSSQL SERVER 2008(64 bit).(Windows 7 OS) in my system.I'm trying to create a new database using SQL Server 2008, and these are the steps that I follow:

I am unable to create database.Guys please help me
It seems that you have not selected the Management Tools Options while installing the sql server.Check all client tools options with Management Tools option while installing.
Try to reinstall or repair your installation.
After completed your installation Press Windows+R and type SSMS then Press Enter.It will open SQL Server Management studio.
Maybe you haven't installed Sql Server Management Studio, only Sql Server.
Look for Sql Server Management Studio in the start menu and if it's not there then you'll need to install it.

We have a single computer with Windows7 Home Premium running with SQL Server 2008 R2 and would like to install the Reporting Services on it.
Can you point us to a step by step tutorial or other web site (not microsoft) that will get this up and running?
We ran the SQL Server setup program and we did not see an option to install the Reporting Services.
We searched 2 ebooks already (the books did not tell us where to get the Reporting Services software) as well as looked at the Microsoft site which was way to overwhelming.
You can have the steps needed from this page: Setup SQL Reporting Services (SRS) in SQL 2008 .
How about a video? It's doing an install on a server, but the steps are the same. The critical step is the features selection, it's at the beginning of part 2.
I am using visual c# 2010 express edition and sql server 2008 R2 Express to develop a software. Now I need to create reports in c# based on the data that is stored in the sql database.
Based on this link : SQL 2008 R2 Express install option
I have the version "Database with Management Tools" installed. That is, the one which is 235 MB.
Now my requirements are that the software, which is written in c#, must be able to generate reports based on the data that is found in the sql database.
My questions are:
Must I install the Database with Advanced Services version (727 MB) to be able to use the MS SQL Reporting services?
Considering that I am using express editions for both c# and sql server, will I be able to make my software use the reporting services of MS SQL SERVER 2008 R2 Express? I have no experience in this but I have read somewhere that report viewer is not available in the express edition. Will that prevent me from using the reporting services?
If not, do you guys have any recommendations to other reporting tools that I might use? I need to generate reports containing graphs (free tools as long as possible, this is my dissertation project).
Thank you.
I wouldn't bother with full Reporting Services: I'd consider using the ReportViewer control in local mode in my app instead
This means you don't need SSRS installed at all: it's embedded in your app.
