i have a sql server 2000( default named version) Enterprise edition SP4 on windows server 2003
and i have installed sql server 2005 ( default named version) with all features( SSIS, Analysis service , report server ) but after instalation and logging in sql server management studio i am not able to see compatibility level 90
if create new database , it shows version 8.xx in front of local database name.

i dont have 2000 dump but can reinstal 2005 can i make it named and can use sql server 2005 with full features

Thanks and Regards

I think you need to change the existing database compatibility level to 90 manually. I don't think installation will do that for you.

When you create a new database, SQL Server will copy it over from model DB. Change model DB to 90 first and create the new database.

did you do a upgrade from 2000 or install the 2005 as a new instance ?

see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144245%28SQL.90%29.aspx on upgrade your SQL 2000 to 2005

that means the SSMS is connected to a SQL 2000 Server.

Both 2000 and 2005 cannot be the default instance. One of them (or both) has to be a named instance.

Go to the SQL 2005 folder in the start menu, expand Configuration tools and open the SQL configuration manager. Take a look at the SQL 2005 services, it'll show the name, if it's a named instance.

Then it looks like the DB engine did not install at all. Try running install again and check that you do select the DB engine (and that there's no failure during the installation)
