Any Good Books For SQL Server 2000 Administration ???
Jun 5, 2003
Hi,
I am an Oracle DBA with over 7 yrs of experience.I am new to sql server 2000 and am given the responsibility of sql server 2000 production databases in a few weeks.I already have the sql server 2000 DBA survival guide.
I would like to know if there are any good books out there for
Sorry if this has been posted before, but I performed a search on the archives and didn't find anything !
I have just been turned over a SQL 6.5 SP3 / NT 4.0 SP3 server that has several SQL errors in the event log. I need to find a good book to read/scan, so I can get up to speed on SQL.
I graduated from college about three years ago and have been working as a programmer using MS SQL 2000 and even though I've learned a TON in these past three years I know there is tons more I can learn.
Because my company uses Microsoft SQL Server 2000 I'd like to focus on that, but anything ANSI-SQL is perfectly fine.
So... what are some good books on SQL query optimization and other advanced SQL topics?
Any recommendations for good advanced t-sql books/articles? I find myself involved with writing increasingly more complex queries and after spending a few hours on some, and then searching on this site for potential answers/help, I am wondering if there might be some good books on creating more advanced/complex t-sql for real world scenarios.
There are between 10 and 15 books in the set. I recall an index, developer's book, administrator's book, and two T-SQL reference books. I don't remember what the other books were. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I had these books at my disposal at my last place of employment and I'm trying to get the same books here. If this sounds familiar to anyone, can you point me in the right direction? Thanks
My uncle runs a small networking company and has extra licenses for Windows 2003 Server as well as SQL Server 2000. Since I just graduated from college and have started working as a database programmer (for a different company) I'd like to setup a small server at home to learn more about SQL (as well as networking, but SQL is my primary concern). I know I can setup SQL Server 2000 on my main PC, but I'd still like to set everything up in a server environment.
So, what I'm wondering is if any books (or web sites?) exist that walk you through setting up Windows 2003 Server and SQL Server 2000. I've actually set these up before (it's not very complicated) but I'm not sure if I did it the "correct" way.
Ideally if any books exist on O'Reilly's Safari Bookshelf that would be even better.
my freind asked me to look for him for online book or something very good that teach SQL for SQL server 2000 ... what i need is something like hands on examples that will take user from level 1 to level * .... i have seen alot of stuff in google but i think some of you might know what i need and can direct me to better resources as i could not find someting specail !!!
Hi all,I have installed MSDE on my computer but it's missing, as all you alreadyknow, a serious (well, osql IS TOO serious but not very newbie friendly)admin tool.I have downloaded http://www.asql.biz/DbaMgr.shtm and i'm quite happy withit but was wondering if there's something better or that may complete whatDbaMgr2k is missing... and preferably is as free as DbaMgr2k.Thank You,Lorenzo
I have a couple of years of light experience with SQL server. I'd like to start studying to take the SQL 2000 exams. I have a good test environment set up and I'm reading through the Books Online. Can anyone recommend a book or books that might be helpful for me? My end goal here is to pass the test in the near future, but I want to really learn SQL rather than just learn to pass the test.
Well, after having a crash course on backups, tlogs and some other good stuff, I pretty much made the decision that I need to get some good books to further help me progress in my database admin path.
Right now, we are running SQL 2000 SP4, but we are planning on upgrading to 2005. With that, and the fact I am pretty new to databases, what books are recommended?
I want to get a book that will help me:
-better administration -write SQL query code as well as understand it (what is difference between SQL programming and SQL query (such as on the sqlteam bookstore)
I feel that my career path is going to start heading down a Database path, so anything that you recommend with that is great as well.
I can't thank everyone enough for the help and input here. Everyone has been great!
I was wondering if anyone has any SP1 horror stories (or success stories) to report, I haven't installed the SP yet, but was hoping to find constructive feedback from those who have...
Is it possible to write an ASP.NET app that can do certain SQL Server 2000 administration tasks, specifically add sql server users, and change sql server user passwords? Would it just be a matter of running the appropriate system stored procedures (sp_password, etc.), or does .NET provide any hooks into SQL Server for something like this? Thanks!
I'm new in the DBA position recently aquired, and I'm having a few issues with MSSQL configuration and administration.
1. I have created a two maintenance plans, one for system databases and another one for user databases, this plans include things such as, Integrity Checks, Optimizations and DB Backups, however the Integrity Checks fail with the error that the DB's must be in single user mode, how can I go about to make this and what are the implications of doing so?
2. There's been a few reports of MSSQL server compromises through UDP port 1433, so I closed it at firewall level, only TCP 1433 is going through, do I really need UDP 1433?
Sorry for starting a new thread on this subject but my situation is a bit different.
I want to connect to a remote SQL-server in a DIFFERENT domain, using Enterprise Manager. Whatever I try, I allways get an "SQLserver not found"-error.
The ASP's on the server that make use of the SQL server are functioning without any problems, so I guess the SQL-server itself is OK.
I tried: servername = URL remote server setting up a linked server setting up a remote server
I'm a webdesigner and a newbe to SQLserver7. Please keep in mind I could be overseeing something that very obvious for you.
I'm searching for some alternate administration tool (permisions, rights,etc.) on sql server, something not so complicated as default. Does anyonehave some info about that? ThanksPete
Hi All, I will shortly (hopefully) begin devleoping an ASP.Net web application to let users manage a remote sql server 2005 database (kind of like the php myAdmin tool for MySQL databases). Were not talking a server managament tool for DBAs, more an end user tool for managing personal databases (it seems that web hosting companies provide tools for MySQL, but if you use SQL Server, you're stuck unless you have management tools on your PC - and what about mac users?).Given that premise, what features should i attempt to include? Creating and modifying tables structures and data is an obvious inclusion, but what else? I also haven't yet decided whether to go about this using scripts or using SMO. I've read that SMO is backwards compatible across versions of SQL Server...how true is this? are there issues or is it seamless? Please post any comments or thoughts you have, and thanks for taking the time.
I am new to VWD, and web development. I installed VWD and SQL Server Express local.
I'm learning how to use the VWD with some of the walkthrough samples. It was going great until I got to the walkthrough where it show "how to use configure user and role with Web Site Admin Tool". I followed the walkthrough steps by step. I clicked the Security Tab and I got the following error:
"There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store. The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Unable to connect to SQL Server database. "
I read some article. According to the articles, SQL Server Express will automatically create the asp database for the first time. but my SSE did not create the database.
I wanted to know if there's a limit on how many targets I can manage in Multi Server Administration.In addition, are there any known limits regarding managing SQL instances with different versions (SQL 2005,2008,2008R2 and 2012).
I am running SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition with SP2 on Windows XP professional. When I check the microsoft documentation, it says that it is not possible to setup multiserver administration in standard edition. Have anyone tried this in Standard edition.
