Been using the SQL Server 2008 Express Advanced version and I need to upgrade to Standard. What is the technical process? Can I upgrade a live 2008 Express instance? Can't seem to find any documentation on this upgrade path.

Thank you kindly for any Truth.

I would uninstall express then install standard and attach the databases then create server objects (logins, jobs...)
But if you trust it just doing an install should lead you through the upgrade from express.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
