Author Upgrade MSDE to SQL Server 2000 Standard Ed.

I understand that upgrading MSDE to SQL Server 2000 is supported. Does this
mean when SQL Server 2000 is installed on the same server as MSDE, that the
installation "sees" MSDE, and retains all the MSDE settings, like collation
for instance?

MSDE and SQL Server installations rely on different installation procedures,
Windows Installer for MSDE and Wise for SQL Server... personally I never
tested this kind of upgrade, even if I heard it's supported... this should
mean that the upgrad process will actually inherit all serverside settings,
like collation.... but.. again, never tested it..

Hi

Upgrade is not possible. You need to backups the DB's in MSDE and restore
them into SQL Server 2000, or detach and attach them

SQL Server 2000 setup will make sure that it does not use the same named
instance and port number, but that is about all it cares about MSDE 2000.
