Visual Studio on a MS-SQL 2005 Server

Hello,

after installation of Windows 2003 R2 64 bit and MS-SQL-Server 2005 SP1
we found out that we installed Visual Studio 2005 on our
MS-SQL2005-Server. Nobody of our team saw the option not to do this
during installation. Short question: Is there any effect on the
server's performance or stability due to Visual Studio or do we have to
deinstall the development studio. We don't want to use Visual Studio on
a server.

Thank you for your help

Dirk.

Hi
What is the edition of SQL Server  you installed? I know if you install
VS2005 it installs SQL Server 2005 Express Edition as well

If you installed everything of SQL Server2005's reporting services (i.e. not
only Reporting Services itself, but also its client tool: report designer),
then it was it: report designer coming with SQL Server2005 is a version of
VisualStudio2005 (report designer only, no other stuff). Of course, you
usually do not inatall Report Designer on the production SQL Server
computer. If a computer has other flavour of VisualStudio2005 installed,
installing SQL Server 2005 Report Designer will merge the Report Designer
into that Visual Studio.

You do not have to uninstall Report Designer, it will not affect SQL
Server2005 running. You can install Report Designer in a computer without
SQL Server and SQL Server Reporting Services installed, though, so someone
can develop reports for the Reporting Services.

I think this (report designer for reporting services) was it. Of course
we
will develop reports on client machines and not on servers.

Thank you Norman,
