Installing SQLServer EE for full text searching

Hi there,
Does anyone know how I go about upgrading from SQL2000 standard edition to
SQL2000 enterprise edition (I need to install full-text searching). Is it as
easy as slamming in the enterprise edition CD and upgrading, or are there any
known issues?
Thanks
Cammie.
It is as easy as that. You should install SQL 2000 standard before adding
SQL 2000 Enterprise.

|||Cammie,
You can upgrade from Standard Edition to Enterprise Edition (see SQL 2000
BOL titles "Upgrading an Existing Installation of SQL Server" and "Editions
of SQL Server 2000" for details), but you don't need to install the
Enterprise Edition just to get Full-Text Search (FTS) as FTS is installed by
default with the Standard Edition.
If you have a need for both Editions, you can install Standard as the
default installation and Enterprise Edition as a named instance and both
will have FTS capabilities as long as you install both on Win2K/Win2003 OS
Advance or Enterprise server editions.

John
