How to deploy SQL Server 2008 R2 on target machine? - deployment

I have been using SQL Server 2000 for a few years. For the deployment of SQL Server 2000 I was using MSDE (Microsoft Desktop Engine 2000) on target machine.
Now I have switched over to SQL Server 2008 R2. I have develop an application by using SQL Server 2008 R2 as my database. Now I am confused about the deployment of this app.
I have searched for MSDE 2008 R2 but could not find it. Will anyone please tell me that what should I use in the place of MSDE 2000?

The replacement for MSDE as of versions 2005 and newer is SQL Server Express.
See more about SQL Server 2012 Express here.
You can also still download the SQL Server 2008 R2 Express version here

Migration from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2008 R2

Is it possible to migrate database from SQL Server 2000 Enterprise edition to SQL Server R2 Standard edition?
I read some where that you can upgrade SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition to SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition, but you can’t upgrade SQL Server 2000 Enterprise to SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard. But I want to migrate database from SQL Server 2000 Enterprise edition to SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard edition, so is it possible?

Same alias for SQL Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2012

I am using SQL Server 2012 and now I have installed SQL Server 2008 R2 on my machine. I have both SQL Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2012 running on my machine.
And I already have created an alias for SQL Server 2012 as 'serverhost\sql',
and now it I require to create an alias for SQL Server 2008 R2 with same name as 'serverhost\sql'.
And when I am trying to connect to database using serverhost\sql, user get connected to database but to SQL Server 2012 not SQL Server 2008 R2.
I don't know that: we are able to create alias with same name for 2 diff server instances on same machine.
Is It possible?
if yes then how would I achieve this?

migrate existing biztalk server database from sql server 2008 R2 to sql server 2012

we are planning to move biztalk database from one place to another as well as upgrade the sql server.
the initial database is in sql server 2008 R2 and target is sql server 2012.
but the thing is that we have to set up database on another system,
i tried to search it on msdn but they are providing reference to upgrade from 2005 to 2008 , or moving database from one server to another.
do you think that will work in my case !!
i found this article.http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee378547%28v=bts.10%29.aspx
relating to upgrading as well as moving..
but this is quite older one.
how can i upgrade as well as move biztalk database from sql server 2008 R2 to sql server 2012 on a different system (side by side upgrade).
do i have to follow same steps as upgrading a normal database from sql server 2008R2 to sql server 2012 or some other one ??
As long as the SQL Server edition (2012 in your case) you are migrating to is supported by your BizTalk Server edition, you can follow the procedure to move BizTalk databases.
You can check the version compatibility here.

How to connect Adempiere (or any PostGreSQL) to SSRS 2012 Express?

Has anyone connected Adempiere (ERP) (or any PostGreSQL db) to SQL Server 2012 Express?
There used to be an IT manager to help me out with this, but now i'm left alone with this.
I downloaded the free Sql Server 2012 Express and wanted to use the SSRS for Adempiere. It seems its running on the SQL Server 2010 for SSRS.
I have already added the ODBC Data Sources for 32 Bit. My computer is using 64bit, is there any incompatibility? I'm not sure if my server is 32 or 64bit.
I've tried following the instructions on http://postgresblog.blogspot.com/ but to no avail.
I already have Crystal Report running, so i'm sure its possible to run 3rd party software for Adempiere.
Anyone knows how i can use SSRS for Adempiere? Thanks!
Since you're using Express edition, if you're trying to connect to any Data Source other than an database on the same SQL Server instance it won't work.
See Features Supported by Reporting Services in SQL Server Express.
From that article:
Report data sources must be SQL Server relational databases that run
locally in SQL Server Express.
Also:
Analysis Services, Oracle, XML, SAP, SQL Server Integration Services
(SSIS), OLE DB, and ODBC data sources are not supported.
You're going to need a different edition to connect to an ODBC Data Source.
