  hello all,

  I want to remove (thru Add/Remove Programs) SQL Server 2008 R2 - but KEEP the 2008 R2 Native Client.

  Does the Native Client automatically get uninstalled along with the database engine and agent?

  Thanks

  when you go through the removal process it should ask what features you wish to remove and I believe you can leave that.

  If only I could snap my figures and have all the correct indexes apear and the buffer clean and.... Start day dream here.
