We have some users who are nervous about our upgrading to SQL Server 7.0 even though we will use 6.5 compatibility mode initially while we work through 7.0 upgrade issues in the applications.
Has anyone had bad experiences with the 6.5 compatibility mode feature? Just how good is it?
Cheers

I have a Sql Server 2005 instance that was upgraded from 2000. The compatibility mode of master is still set to 80. Can I change this to 90?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI currently use MSDE and now I need to upgrade because we moved to 2005. The problem for me is teh compatibility mode. I need to change it to 80 (2000).
I also need to do it via command line because we have a base command line install for users.
We use it to attach databases and view information.
Is there a way to install SQL Express with a default mode of 80 (SQL 2000).
THanks
I have been migrating Databases from a SQL Server 7.0 Instance to a 2000 Instance. Basically the method I use is as follows:
a)Create a new Database on the Destination Server (same name as the Source) When I create the new Database on my destination server, the compatibility mode is '80' and the source is always '70'
b) do a 'revlogin' on the Source Server and use the output from that query to recreate the logins on the destination server
c) make sure that the default DB for the newly creates logins are correct and change them if necessary
d) Backup the DB on the Source Server and Restore it to the Destination Server.
e) Check login permissions and fix any orphaned users - usually I don't find any that need to be fixed, but I always check.
I've read BOL on Changing the compatibility mode on the Database... but I'm still unsure when I would have to do this and why???????????????? SHOULD I be changing the compatiblity mode from 80 to 70 when migrating Databases from 7.0 to 2000???? Any advice on moving DBs in this manner would be appreciated.
I have a 2005 database sitting on a 2012 server, we're looking to change its compatibility mode from 90 to 110 so we can avail of what 2012 offers.I did a migration project a couple years ago for SQL Server 2000 databases changing to 2008 R2 and we ran into loads of problems where we left most databases in compatibility mode 80 as these were application databases that the owners couldn't stand over in terms of deprecated code / features no longer in use in 2008 R2.
From what I can see with changing from 90 to 110, there doesn't seem to be as many issues but I just want to double check if there's a way to confirm this. I know upgrade advisor is a handy tool but will it pick up database specific issues as opposed to database server compatibility issues? URLs...I know UA won't cover all the bases but it would look good when attached to the report I'm submitting recommending the change.
On my current contract we have a SQL 2005 box with a user database and the tempdb database in 6.5 compatibility mode. I would like to remove the user database and change the tempdbs compatibility mode. When you try and use EM just about everything fails with errors about collation or syntax. From what I have found it could be related to the tempdb being in 6.5 compatibility mode but either way I would like to remove this old unused DB.
My question is after I remove the user DB and reset the tempdb compatibility mode what will or could break? I haven't been able to find much on what would change or what to look out for after the change is made. Has anyone else done this? If so what issues did you face.
Thanks

I'm running SQL Server 7.0. I have a DB running with 6.5 compatibility mode.
Do INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE queries use row level locking in this DB ?
(I know if I set the db compatibility mode to 7.0 row level locking will be enabled)
Thanks in advance for your help.
We recently upgraded out SQL version from SQL2008R2 to SQL2014. As such, the compatibility mode changed to SQL2104 (120).
We have several queries that used to run fine that now take forever to bring back results. There are no errors (which surprised me). They just take way too long now. PLus they seem to be causing high I/O and CPU.
If I change the compt level back to SQL2008 - these queries run fine.
QUERY with SQL2008 compt level - finished in 2 minutes.
QUERY with SQL2014 compt level - finishes in 3 hours 22 minutes.
same exact query - same server - only thing changed was compatibility level.
WHat do I look for in the queries that could be causing this? (they look fine but obviously I'm missing something here)..
Hi,
I've been scouring the forums and the web for anything that would substantiate an argument for database application developers to keep developing in SQL 8.0 when we have migrated to SQL 2005.
I read somewhere that compatibility 8.0 mode is an intern stepping stone for migrating from 8 to 9, but it seems 2005 will handle and run compat 8.0 databases just fine.
So am finding it really diffucult to substantiate my argument against running 2005 with all databases in compatibility 8 mode indefinitly.
Any suggestions or links that could help me with this.

We upgraded QA and production to sql server 2012 last year ( in place) leaving the user databases at sql 2005 ( 90 ). A few months ago the QA user databases were set to sql 2012 compatibility mode. Management is worried about upgrading production and wants to know if we can quickly roll back.
I want to confirm that we can roll back using the same command, and if dbcc freeproccache can be used to avoid having to update all statistics.
ALTER DATABASE <mydatabase> SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL = 110
ALTER DATABASE <mydatabase> SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL = 90
This works fine in QA on my own test user database. No errors.
Hi,
We are planning to upgrage our SS 2000 databases(couple of hundreds) to SS 2005.
To minimise the potential work arounds, it is agreed to have complex databases, continue running on compatibility mode 80. What are the potential impact of having database on mode 80(apart from not being able to use new feature)on SS2005?
Fruther how we can we import SS 2000 DTSs to SS 2005 SSIS in an cluster environment?
Thanks,

Hi All
I€™m having a problem setting up maintenance plans on one of our SQL 2005 servers but first here€™s a bit of back ground.
The server is a Virtual machine running win2k3R2 SP2 server std and SQL 2k5, A supplier arrived to install and app on the server when discovering there app didn€™t work with 2k5 they seem to have set the 2 dbs on the server into 2k compatibility mode and set the entire SQL install to think its a 2000 install. (I€™m not sure how this is done all I can see is the wrong version number in management studio) The problem this is giving me it that the folder in management studio for Database Maintenance Plans is no longer under the management folder instead it under a sub folder called Legacy (which is how management studio seems to deal with all registered 2000 instances) and as such a can no longer right click and create new database maintenance plans is there any way around this or will I have to setup my backup job manually?
Ohh and have the supplier shot at dawn
Thanks All

Can you run SQL Server 2005 in SQL Server 2000 compatibility mode and still use it with Reporting Services 2005?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am in the process of migrating from Sql Server 2000 to 2005. Part of my plan is to move some database's to 2005, but use the 2000 compatibility mode for the short term. My issue is this, our DR boxes are still on SQL Server 2000, would I still be able to use our log shipping processes? Or would I be better off in starting with migrating the DR boxes to 2005 first?
Thanks in advance.
Durning install I selected Window's Authentication only, but now it seems we may need to use a Mixed Mode with an SA account etc... is there anyway to switch SQL 2005 to use Mixed Mode after the fact?

Hello,everyone!!
There is a query which when executed in the grid mode(ctrl+d) takes approx 0.02 seconds(about 21,000
rows) But when I execute in the text mode, it takes about 0.40 seconds!!
Why is this difference?
Also, when the records from this table are read from a VB application, they are equally slow (as in the text mode!)
Why is it so slow on the text mode & relatively faster in the grid mode?
Has anyone got any idea on ‘Firehose’ style cursor ?(which may speed up access of data in the VB application)

how to put sql server database in suspect mode intensely and  get it out from suspect mode to normal mode.
  i am using SQL server 2008 R2
Recently I read such statments 'When SQL Server is run in "lightweight pooling" mode (fiber mode) and the DTC service is started, unexpected behavior may occur.'
Can someone say anything about fibe mode?I am appreciated for it.:)
Hi,
Currently, our Report Builder is running on Local Intranet mode. I'm investigating what the security implications are in changing it to Internet mode. However, I've not been able to find any documentation on this.
Does anyone know of any documentation that addresses this issue or have experience that they can share with changing Report Builder security zone from Intranet mode to Internet mode?
Thanks very much.
Hi folks,
I have a SQL 2005 OTC. CTP version running on Windows 2003 server.
I would like to find out how the SQL server option changed to Windows Authentication mode from Mixed mode over the weekend. From the SQL log, I don't see when it changed. I would like to see Date/Time and client IP. If I can see User ID (windows) that would be great. Where I can find these info in SQL server?
Thank you in advance...

Is it possible to backup databases from a 7.0 box and restore them to as MSSQL 2k box? My question really is this: Does it matter what type of MSSQL server your database resides on or can a dump be created of a database, restored to a different version MSSQL server, and used interchangeably?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI get the impression that osql (or somewhere in the sql processing) precompiles the entire script before it executes anything. In particular, this is a problem because it means you can't use IF statements to bracket new features in a script designed to be run on both old and new versions of SQL Server. I'm trying to handle an issue whereby I need to use "CREATE LOGIN" on SQL Server 2005 because I need to set CHECK_POLICY = OFF, and you can't do that with sp_addlogin. However, on SQL Server 2000, while I can't use CREATE LOGIN, I don't need to because the default password policy is such that the password being used does not fail without it (as it does in SQL Server 2005, and is why we need to set CHECK_POLICY), so I can simply use sp_addlogin to create the user w/o a CHEC_POLICY setting.
It appears however, due to the way that SQL is processed, it is impossible to create an SQL script of this nature that will work under both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005. I added code to check the Product Version, and can successfully bracket the code necessary with IF statements, but even though the IF statement would cause the CREATE LOGIN code to not be executed on SQL Server 2000, it errors anyway apparently because it is preparsing the script and of course, SQL Server 2000 doesn't have CREATE LOGIN. Consequently, checking Product Version is useless in this case. It looks like we'll have to do the version check outside of SQL and invoke script A for SQL Server 2000 and script B for SQL Server 2005.
Unless that is, I misunderstand the error I get from SQL Server 2000, or if there's some other way to compatibly do such a conditional. Here's an example script that runs fine under SQL Server 2005:
---------------
declare @ProductVersion as integer
set @ProductVersion = cast(left(cast(serverproperty('productversion')
as varchar(30)),1) as integer)
print 'Product Version = ' + cast(@ProductVersion as char)
IF @ProductVersion < 9 exec sp_addlogin 'testuser', 'fubar', 'master'
IF @ProductVersion > 8
BEGIN
CREATE LOGIN testuser WITH PASSWORD = 'fubar',
CHECK_POLICY = OFF, DEFAULT_DATABASE = [master]
END
----------------
On SQL Server 2000, @ProductVersion gets set to 8, but I get the following error:
Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Server TESTSVR, Line 10
Line 10: Incorrect syntax near 'LOGIN'.
Any thoughts?

Hi Gurus,
I would like to know if I put the Compatibility Level in a SQL Server 2005 installation to 70 I can make afirmation that I have a full SQL Server 7.0. If the answer is "Yes" where I can find a documentation or a FAQ that explained this topic.
Has anyone changed compatibility level from 80 to 90? Did you have any problems?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI restored the database from SQL server 2000 to 2005.The database was restored with 80 compatibility.Can i change it to 90 and what are the effects? Coz my applications are pulling data from SQL server 2000. Does 80 work for database mirroring?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi there
We found interesting issue which is basically the app is being tested ok on SQL2005 by software vendor. Then we tested in our environment and we found it's not truly true. There are some compatibility issue on SQL syntax. Anyway ... the plan set the compatibility level back to 80 instead 90. Cause this thing for sure is working.
Now my question is do you know any other impacts that you know of if we are doing this setting (running SQLServer 2005 but the database set as 80)? I know that some inbuilt reporting only run 90 level but I can get around this. Performance or something? Is there any thing that I should to know?
Thanks
Is there a function / SP which gives ONLY the current compatibility setting of a DB.
I know sp_helpdb can do that; but sp_helpdb returns lot more information. I need this to create a script.

Hi,
What are the limitations of using the automated conversion tool and how to deal with compatability issues?

Does SQL Server Compact Edition fully support ADO.NET?
Will SQL Server Compact Edition fully support the ADO.NET Entity Framework?
Will SQL Server Compact Edition fully support LINQ?
To your knowledge, is there any performance hit with SQL 2005 when you set a database to a lower compatibility mode. IE from 9.0 to 7.0
