View 2 RepliesDoes anybody know of a way to rollback SQL Server 2005
databases back to SQL Server 2000? Is there a way of doing it without
resorting to Copy Database Wizard? I love to find a way of attaching a SS 2005 database
to a SS 2000 instance without any issues.
I recently upgraded to SS 2005 and I am very unhappy with the SS 2005 and I
want to rollback to SS 2000, which was a lot more stable. I am having
several major issues that are affecting my whole company's day-to-day
operations and the managers are not happy. Some of the issues include
night time batch running very sluggish for no apparent reason. This is a
biggest problem because it only occurs once or so a week and causes a disturbance
with the daily activities when the night time processing isnt completed on
time. The rest of the time, the batch processing runs great, even a little better then on SS 2000. I
don't believe it is a matter of my application needing to be retuned because if
that was the case, then why isn't it running sluggish every night? Also,
it's never the same day that the sluggish behavior occurs. If it was occurring
on the same night, then I would have something to investigate within our
application, but it doesn't. Another issue that I am having involves a
night time job that restores a copy of the production database to the Data
Warehouse server to be used for updating the data warehouse. Again, most
of the time it runs great (~2 1/2 hours), but once or twice a week, it goes
stupid and takes 6 1/2 hours for no apparent reason. Again, it is not happening
the same day either, which could give me something to invesigate. On SS 2000, this same job ran flawlessly. Never I did I run into situation that the
database restoration took that long to run. Even another issue involves a SQL Server Agent Job that was put into suspended
state. What's a suspended state and how can I get it out of suspended
state? I can find no information about suspended state in BOL. I
did a Google and nothing came up. If this suspended state was put
in for security reasons, great, but then tell me how I can remove the suspended
state. I am also not happy with the
fact that I can't get accurate information about the queries that are actively
running at that particular moment. In SS 2000, when I noticed high CPU
usage on the server, I would run the sp_who2 active stored proc and it would
show me all the active thread and how much CPU it was consuming. I would
then find the running threads with the highest CPU numbers and investigate the
query and see if we could improve it. Now in SS 2005, I get in the same
situation and run the sp_who2 stored proc, and there is no smoking gun.
All of the active threads are showing very little CPU usage, which I am very
suspect of. What the heck happen to sp_who2? I looked at some of
the other ways of looking at running processes (i.e... sys.sysprocesses) and
they don't appear to be giving the information that I need.
I am very unhappy and I just want to roll back to SS 2000 and wait a couple of
years before I upgrade to SS 2005.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am maintaining a .net 1.0 asp.net web application that accesses a SQL server 2000 database. I need to backup the database and then restore it on a laptop. Currently it resides on a server. The problem is that on the server they are using sql server 2005. If I backup using 2005 and then try and restore this database using SQL server 2000 or 2005 on the laptop, I get an error message.

Hi,
I'm trying to learn some VB programming with the VB 2005 Express Absolute Beginner Series video tutorials (which I think is great) and have come across a problem that I can't solve.
When I follow the instructions in Lesson 9 (Databinding Data to User Interface Controls) my application will display the data from the database correctly and I can edit it (and as long as the debugger is running the data remains changed). However, the changes won't propagate back to the database. I don't get any error messages but after I edit the data, save (with the save button on the BindingNavigator toolbar), and end debugging the data in my database remains unchanged. When I use a MessageBox to show how many rows where edited/updated in the
Me.myTableTableAdapter.Update(Me.myDatabaseDataSet.myTable)
I get the correct number back. I'm sure the problem is not due to coding errors since I've also tried running the accompanying Lesson 9 project file that can be downloaded from MSDN and the problem persists.
I'm using Windows XP SP2, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and VB 2005 Express Edition. I've tried installing SQL Server 2005 Express with a number of different settings, including default settings, but it doesn't make any difference.
Would greatly appreciate any feedback on this as I'm keen to resolve this problem so I can get on with the next tutorial lesson.
Thanks,

I have a problem with trying to send a database from SQL Server 2005 to a server with SQL Server 2000. Now I KNOW that under normal circumstances, this isn't possible. But I tried to create a compatible SQL Server 2000 database using SQL Server 2005, sent it to the server, and tried to attach it, but it wouldn't attach. I even tried creating a database on the server end, send it to SQL Server 2005, modify it, and then send it back and it also wouldn't attach. I can't install SQL Server 2000 since Vista can't support it.

I had an issue where my database was transfered from a SQL 2000 database to a SQL 2005 database.
The SQL 2005 database works fine, but my development environment is SQL 2000.
So I created a new SQL 2000 database and used the SQL 2005 DTS wizard to transfer the data. As far as I can tell, everything went fine, and the DTS wizard showed no errors.
However, when I changed my website application's connection string to the new database, the application (LaGarde StoreFront 6.0) throws a licensing error. When I checked with LaGarde, they said that it was a permissions issue, that the permissions on the database where incorrect.
I never really heard of that, but have no way to check. I really need to transfer this database back to 2000. Any help?

We are internally upgrading all of our SQL boxes to SQL Server 2005. Unfortunately our web production SQL box is hosted externally at a hosting company and it will be staying as a SQL server 2000 box. Can the new ssis wizards/functionality update tables on a sql 2000 box or a better question what would be the best way to update data (not necessarily copy whole tables) from a 2005 db to a 2000 db?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHello,I'm trying to create a simple back up in the SQL Maintenance Plan that willmake a single back up copy of all database every night at 10 pm. I'd likethe previous nights file to be overwritten, so there will be only a singleback up file for each database (tape back up runs every night, so each daysback up will be saved on tape).Every night the maintenance plan makes a back up of all the databases to anew file with a datetime stamp, meaning the previous nights file stillexists. Even when I check "Remove files older than 22 hours" the previousnights file still exists. Is there any way to create a back up file withoutthe date time stamp so it overwrites the previous nights file?Thanks!Rick

Hi Guys
We are trying desperately to get away from Access (ADP) and move on to something else. SQL Server 2005 is the engine and Access is the front end. We desperatley need another front end. We torn between FoxPro or going Web Bassed. Can whats a good application tool that will asssit me in making our Databases webbased??
Don't know if this is possible or not:
Goal: set security on running specific stored procedures based upon user login and databse access
I have some DBA's who want to retain full control of databses / stored procedures as they now have but I want to restrict or rollback some of the changes that were implemented when the sql 2005 was set up. The sql 2005 EE is in a clustered system and uses Mixed Mode Authentication.
An example of what I want to restrict: The DBA's want to be able to view and kill processes for the different databases that are installed under their instance. The problem is other customer databases are also under the same instance.
Is their a way I can combine or have the stored procedure sp_lock only show the processes for the databases they have access to based upon their login? My concern is they will kill a process and affect the other customers.
Thanks for any info or pointers.

New to Database Mirroring and I have a question about the Principal database server. I have a Database Mirroring setup configured for High-safety with automatic fail over mode using a witness.
When a fail over occurs because of a lost of communication between the principal and mirror, the mirror server takes on theĀ roll of Principal. When communication is returned to the Principal server, at some point does the database that was the previous Principal database automatically go back to being the Principal server?

Im using the free version of ms sql 2005 studio express. I can upload databases, edit them and check them etc.
how do I back them up on to my pc, I do not have the server with me, my ms database is hosted on namesco.co.uk hosting.
I know how to right click the database, click task and back up. But I dont know where to back it up?
Whenever I try to back up to somewhere on my c: drive it won't. I think it also only backs up on a .bak files. Which I don't have.
I've looked on the net and it says you need a seperate hard drive or tape drive for back. Do I need to add another hard drive to my pc, if yes what do I format it as. And also how do I get a .bak file?
Here is a screenshot of where I can get to:(you might have to copy and paste them in your browser, there bmp so are big images)
http://www.uktattoostudios.co.uk/images/ms1.bmp
http://www.uktattoostudios.co.uk/images/ms3.bmp
As you can see I dont have a .bak to choose so it comes up this. If I click ok and try and back it up, it says back up complete. However when I go in the folder there is no .bak file
I also read on the net that if there shared databases the hosts are the only ones who can back stuff up, I asked them and they said that I should be able to do it on ms sql studio express.
thanks

Hi:
We have a weird problem in our test SQL 2005 SP1 - Windows 2003 Enterprise SP1 - Server (after upgrading from SQL 2000).
While changing data via JBOSS - JDBC connection, we get all our data modifications rolled back.
Selects are fine. Same SQL 2005 Inserts/Updates through JBOSS are fine on other machines with Windows XP (JBOSS is on the same machine there, while in troubled configuration it's on its own server).
But in production imitation environment we can't modify data.
Please advise where to look for the solution.
Thanks.
I am trying to send a file from SQL 2005 back to our AS400 DB2 db. First time trying to get this to work in SSIS.
I have a couple fields that are datetime in SQL Server and see SQL server sees datetime fields from DB2 as string so I am converting them to Strings using derived columns. That part seems to work fine. Get no errors on that part.
The conversions seem like they are working but it is faling when it tries to send it to as/400. I get the following error: any ideas on what is wrong?
[OLE DB Destination [1569]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available.

I even created a sql table with same field sizes as one I am sending to AS400 and its sucessful there. So seem like it mght have somthing to do with sending to AS400 but not sure what.
Any ideas?

Hello,I am hoping you can help me with the following problem; I need to process the following steps every couple of hours in order to keep our Sql 2000 database a small as possible (the transaction log is 5x bigger than the db).1.back-up the entire database2.truncate the log3.shrink the log4.back-up once again.As you may have determined, I am relatively new to managing a sql server database and while I have found multiple articles online about the topics I need to accomplish, I cannot find any actual examples that explain where I input the coded used to accomplish the above-mentioned steps. I do understand the theory behind the steps I just do not know how to accomplish them!If you know of a well-documented tutorial, please point me in the right direction.Regards.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I am trying to write a web page connected to an sql database of my MP3 files. I have a dropdown list box that populates with the artist, this hopefully being used to filter results into a datagrid. However, i am having a problem with the ddlb box repopulating on post back, i trawled the news groups and coded the population of the ddlb within an "if not page.postback" statement but to no avail. If i connect the ddlb to another sql database i have, the page reloads with the selctedvalue retained. So the theory is now that it is the SQL database, (is this a limitation of SQL express?) and i am having troubleshooting this. Here is the SQL of the databse:
USE [mp3]GO/****** Object: Table [dbo].[Table_1] Script Date: 04/21/2008 20:40:21 ******/SET ANSI_NULLS ONGOSET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ONGOCREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table_1]([Title] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,[Artist] [nvarchar](50) NULL,[Album] [nvarchar](50) NULL,[Year] [nvarchar](25) NULL,[Comment] [nvarchar](500) NULL,[TrackNumber] [nvarchar](10) NULL,[path] [nvarchar](300) NOT NULL,[genre] [nvarchar](25) NULL,[id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,CONSTRAINT [PK_Table_1_1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([id] ASC)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]) ON [PRIMARY]
Any help much appreciated.

Apparently you cannot go backwards. Once 2005 Express is installed, even removing it does not allow you to setup MSDE 2000 again. So there is no "trying it out" option.
Unfortunately, our software does not use 2005 Express. I tried it out, and now have a useless testing workstation that can't have MSDE 2000 installed again.
Any ideas on how to break the chain here are welcome.
