Body
Windows update on my Windows 7 64 bit system says I have an optional update available, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (KB2528583). When I try to install it through Windows update, it hangs. I try stopping the installation, and that hangs as well. I have to do a full restart to clear this up. I then went to the KB doc, and it leads me to: <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=26729" rel="nofollow">http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=26729</a> I download SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe. When I start it up, I'm not sure how I update my existing installation of R2? It wants to do a new installation, which looks like I would have to migrate all my DBs into the new instance it creates. Does anyone know how I can get this installer to update my existing R2 to SP1 in place? Just update my existing instance. Should I do a repair instead? Thanks for your help, Rich

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
