SQL 2005 DW Comparison To SQL Server 2000
Aug 29, 2006Dear all,
I am developing a proposal to my company, which is a microsoft select client, for introducing SQL 2005 to a new BI project. The company already has SQL 2000. I would like to have a full tabular format of SQL 2005 SSIS Features comparison to SQL server 2000 DTS.
Most of feature enhancement paper has only tell what is new but not tell about what is already existed and how much it is improved (in quality and quantity). Yes, tabular format is more useful.
I tried to search through microsoft.com, technet but still cannot find the relavent one. Would you please give me a web link ?
Please suggest. I am not impersonated myself like a competitor. You can verify my id by sending e-mail to chaivat.jirapummin@th.standardchartered.com
Best regards,

CPU Usage Comparison For MS SQL Server 2000
Jul 20, 2005Hi All,I had two Window NT 4.0 Server, say A and B... We recently upgradedfrom MS SQL Server 6.5 to MS SQL Server 2000 on Computer A, and forComputer B, I installed SQL Server 2000 from scratch. These two have asame RAM(512MB) and CPU speed...so the setup for hardware is almostidentical...For server A, there are around 10 connection to this SQL Server...For server B, there are also around 10 connection to this SQLServer...The database for SQL Server B is a copy from SQL Server A.... Irestored the database on SQL Server B from the backup dump of ServerA...We have a store procedure called usp_GetMemo(ID Interger) ... we feedID number to this store procedure and return its return Description...this table has ID column and it's Non-Cluster index, allow theduplicate row... there are 1.7 million records for this table...Here is problem... whenever i execute more than 100 times for thisstore procedure(usp_GetMemo(ID)) continuously, the CPU usage ofComputer A is 3 times bigger than computer B....I did run the command "DBCC DBReindex" , "Update Statistics" for thistable on computer A, but did not make any difference...Keep in mind that Computer A has been upgraded to SQL server 2000while Computer B installed from scratch... would that make differencesomehow?? Before the upgrading, the CPU usage of computer A is thesame as Computer B...Any help will be really appreciated,Thanks alot,Kim,

Memory Configurations For SQL Server 2005 EE X64 With SQL Server 2000 EE X32 On Windows Server EE X64 Server
Apr 20, 2007My server is a dual AMD x64 2.19 GHz with 8 GB RAM running under Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with service pack 1 installed. We have SQL 2000 32-bit Enterprise installed in the default instance. AWE is enabled using Dynamically configured SQL Server memory with 6215 MB minimum memory and 6656 maximum memory settings.
I have now installed, side-by-side, SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition in a separate named instance. Everything is running fine but I believe SQL Server2005 could run faster and need to ensure I am giving it plenty of resources. I realize AWE is not needed with SQL Server 2005 and I have seen suggestions to grant the SQL Server account the 'lock pages in memory' rights. This box only runs the SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 server databases and I would like to ensure, if possible, that each is splitting the available memory equally, at least until we can retire SQL Server 2000 next year. Any suggestions?
SQL Server 2000 Databases To SQL Server 2005? Enterprise Manager And Management Stuio At The Same Server?
Feb 13, 2008When I proposed start to use SQL Server 2005 for new VS 2005 web sites, one of my co-workers responded that
we will update the old SQL Server 2000 databases to SQL Server 2005 when we are ready to use 2005 SQL Server.
Questions:
1. Any expected problems to upgrade old 2000 databases to new 2005 SQL Server?
2. I have installed both 2005/Management Studio Express and 2000/Enterprise Manager in my PC. Any expected
problems when running both 2000 and 2005 SQL Server at the same database server?
3. What is the best configuration for running SQL Server 2005 when we have old 2000 databases? Upgade or not upgrade?
TIA,

Install Sql 2005 Instance With Reporting Service 2005 On Sql 2000 With RS 2000 Server
Aug 18, 2006Hi
We would like to install Sql 2005 Enterprise Edition (including database engine, reporting service, integration service and analysis service) as a sepearte instance on a server which already has Sql 2000 with reporting services and analysis services. We do not want to disturb the existing sql 2000 setup.
If we do that then what will happen to my earlier sql 2000 reporting service? Will it be upgraded to sql 2005 reporting service? I heard that reporting services are instance unaware application. Where will be the default reporting service database available?
Please help us.

Problem Occurs When Migrating A SQL Server 2000 Database To A SQL Server 2005 Server
Sep 20, 2006When I try to migrate a database on a SQL Server 2000 server to a SQL Server 2005 server with the Copy Database Wizard of the SQL Server Management Studio, I'm confronted with the following problem;
Performing operation...
- Add log for package (Success)
- Add task for transferring database objects (Success)
- Create package (Success)
- Start SQL Server Agent Job (Success)
- Execute SQL Server Agent Job (Error)
Messages
* The job failed. Check the event log on the destination server for details. (Copy Database Wizard)
When I take a look at 'Event viewer' on the SQL 2005 server, the following error is displayed;
InnerException-->An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.
When connecting to SQL Server 2005,
this failure may be caused by the fact
that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
(provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
I already enabled the MSSQLSERVER network configuration protocols (TCP/IP and Named Pipes ).
How do I solve this problem?
How To Move Sql Server 2000 Database From One Server Box To Server 2005 On Another Server Box Sql

Hi,
We have an old machine which holds SQL server 2000 database. We need to migrate a whole database to a new machine which has SQL server 2005.
When we tried to move whole database using Import and Export Wizard, only tables can be selected to import/export. However we want to import/export the whole database, including tables, stored procedure, view, etc. Which tool should we use?

SQL Server 2005 Installation Problems With SQL Server Express && SQL Server 2000
May 31, 2006Hi Guys,
I have had SQL Server Express and Sql Server Management Studio Express installed on my machine for some time and recently tried to install a trial of SQL Server 2005 as well. (Yes, I'm migrating from Visual Studio Express to Visual Studio Professional, just as in tended!)
Everything went fine except that nothing seemed to be installed. I searched in all the obvious places - both on the Start/Programs menu and on the hard-drive: nothing.
A check under Add/Remove Programs showed that Sql Server 2005 Express was installed, but called SQL Server 2005.
So after a number of retries in which the install program kept saying that there was nothing to install, I selected every option under Advanced in the intall process. This resulted in stuff being installed and I now have SQL Server 2005 running on my machine, but no SQL Server Manager icon.
My questions are:
Where can I find the SQL Server Manager executeable?
Has anyone installed SQL Server Express, SQL Server Mangement Studio Express, SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Management Studio on a single machine successfully? If so, what order did you install them in? (I'm planning on uninstalling everything SXQL Server related and starting again.)
Thanks very much for your help.

Problem Accessing A SQL Server 2000 Linked Server From SQL Server 2005
May 4, 2007Hi
I have created a linked server from SQL Server 2005 (SP 1) to SQL Service 2000 (SP 4) with a sql server login that is available on both servers but with different passwords and permissions.
I am getting the following error while accessing the linked server in management studio based on the scenario given below ;
------ Error Message Starts
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "(SQL Server 2000 instance name)" returned message "Communication link failure".
Msg 10054, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Line 0
Login failed for user 'abc'.
------ Error Message Ends
Consider login name is abc.
Now this login abc has sysadmin rights on sql server 2005.
The same login abc has only db_datareader rights on sql server 2000 on just one database and is not associated with any fixed server role.
I have configured the linked server using the following options;
1. I have tried impersonating login from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2000 .
2. I have also tried specifying remote login / password option.
Anyone having any idea, would be of great help.

Salman Shehbaz.
Connect From A SQL Server 2005 Db To A SQL Server 2000 Db, Without Linked Server Connection
Apr 18, 2007Can I connect from a SQL Server 2005 database to a SQL Server 2000 database, without establishing a linked server connection.

Smalldatetime Comparison Between Local Server And Linked Server Fails?
Mar 8, 2006Hi all,
I have the following select that is designed to compare values on parallel servers.SELECT TA1.EPS, TA1.Sales, TA1.Income, TA1.EarningsReportDate,TA2.EPS, TA2.Sales, TA2.Income, TA2.EarningsReportDate
FROM TradeAnalysis.dbo.SalesIncome_Quarterly AS TA1
FULL OUTER JOIN L_TA_MIRROR.TradeAnalysis.dbo.SalesIncome_Quarterl y AS TA2
ON ((TA1.OSID = TA2.OSID) AND (TA1.QtrYear = TA2.QtrYear) AND (TA1.QuarterNo = TA2.QuarterNo))
WHERE(BINARY_CHECKSUM(TA1.EPS, TA1.Sales, TA1.Income, TA1.EarningsReportDate) <>
BINARY_CHECKSUM(TA2.EPS, TA2.Sales, TA2.Income, TA2.EarningsReportDate))Disregard the full outer join, it is necessary in the full select, I have just pared it down to show here and for testing. A standard join will also have the same result.
The trouble is that the comparison (the BINARY_CHECKSUM) is failing on the EarningsReportDate column, which is defined on BOTH servers in DUPLICATE databases as a smalldatetime.
The data is actually the same in both rows of each table (as is all the other data being compared). What I am seeing is that the select returns milliseconds on the LINKED server (the L_TA_MIRROR reference), but not on the local database?
for example,
Local server data returned in above select is 2000-01-28 00:00:00
Linked server data returned in above select is 2000-01-28 00:00:00.000
Wassup with THAT? If I remove the date from the select/comparison, it says everything matches, so I am pretty sure this is the culprit that is causing the BINARY_CHECKSUM comparison to fail.
Is there some setting that I need to put on the Linked Server reference that says "treat this as the smalldatetime data type it IS, dammit!"????
I can get by the issue if I replace the date reference in the linked server part of the select with CAST(TA2.EarningsReportDate AS smalldatetime) but why do I have to do this?
Yes, I am SURE both servers have the column in question defined as a smalldatetime, as running the same select on either server causes the same failure, but only when referencing the LINKED server column.

SQL Server 2000 + 2005 Working On Same Windows 2003 Server As Seperate Instances
Nov 20, 2006Hi all,I just asked some people to help me out and phone microsoft with thefollowing information, kindly they refused unless we setup a supportcontract with them first, for pre-sales information. (That really doesnot sound like good business sense to me - anyway here is our problem,if anyone could help thanks)."To tell and ask microsoft:We will be setting up a microsoft sql server 2000 instance running on awindows 2003 server.1) We need to check this can run alongside a microsoft 2003 sql server(either workgroup or standard edition), on the same machine. Are thereany .dll clashes if we do this? If there are can we run SQL Server2000, in a virtual machine running windows 2000 professional. (I have alicenced copy we can use for this).2) If we run one instance of 2000, and one of 2003 of the sql servers,can one use the processor licence model, and one use the CAL licencemodel."Thanks for any help, and any idea why they actually force you to usenews groups for pre-sales information?David

Jan 8, 2008Hi,
I have an interesting situation here. I have a SQL Server 2000 database which is attached to SQL Server 2005. The database (SQL 2000) however only has service pack 3 applied. I need to apply SP4 before I can move forward with SQL 2000->2005 upgrade. The question: can I somehow apply this support package with my current configuration or should I install full SQL 2000 front-end anew (which I don't have at the moment)? Whenever I try to run SQL 2000 SP4 it complains "SQL Server 2000 is not installed on this machine."
The server I try to install the update is Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition x64. SQL Server 2000 database itself is x86 (obviously).
Thanks.

Application Insist Open SQL Server 2005 While The Host Still With SQL Server 2000
Mar 12, 2007I don't know why my application on the internet try to access the SQL Server 2005, when the host still having the 2000 edition. I put the following connection string:
Data Source=##DBSERVER##;Initial Catalog=##DBNAME##;User ID=##DBUSER##;Password=##DBPASSWORD##;
Isn’t everything fine with that? I created the table by host but dosen’t work. I’m wondering if can I conect straight with Data Base, without register in the server, like with mdb?
This is the error that I’m getting.
When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)

Is Microsoft Free* Elearning For Sql Server 2005 Useful For Learning SQL Server 2000?
Feb 13, 2006I'm working towards MCAD and as elective I want to do the SQL Server course. The exam is on SQL Server 2000. I was just wondering whether the online course that Microsoft currently have a available for free at https://www.microsoftelearning.com/sqlserver2005/default.aspx would be useful and applicable to SQL Server 2000, or whether it is sufficiently different product to make it confusing to use this as a learning resource.
Also if anyone can point me toward any webcasts for SQL Server that would be great. I listened to Fritz Onion's 15 part series when I studied for my ASP.NET exam and would like to do something similar for SQL Server 2000 if any are available.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSQL Server 2000 Database To SQL Server 2005 Standard Security Issue
Jan 12, 2006We have experienced an issue with back backup / restore of a database originating from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2003.
We have the following setup:
SQL Server 2000
- DatabaseA
- asdfUser (SQL User)
- asdfUser is (dbowner) of DatabaseA
- DatabaseB
- asdfUser (SQL User)
- asdfUser is (dbowner) of DatabaseB
SQL Server 2005 Standard
-asdfUser is NOT Setup as a user yet.
-We restore DatabaseA and DatabaseB to the SQL Server 2005 Standard. The databases are restored with the security permissions of asdfUser being the DB Owner of DatabaseA and DatabaseB.
-We create a new SQL user named asdfUser on the SQL Server 2005 box. We then try to add the UserMapping of DBOWNER for the DatabaseA and DatabaseB. We receive an error message stating that the asdfUser already have permissions to the databases. We proceed with the user creation without those permissions.
-We proceed to the login properties of the asdfuser and view their UserMappings. The asdfUser does not have access to DatabaseA or DatabaseB. We then add the UserMapping of DBOWNER to both DatabaseA and DatabaseB. We Try to select OK and we receive an error message that states that the user already has those permissions.
-When we query the UserID's of the asdfUser that is in the database and the UserID of the asdfUser that is created, they are two different values.
I assume this is a bug... any word on a fix?
SQL Server 2000 Migration To SQL Server 2005 Collation Change - Method?
Jan 24, 2008Scenario
Recently moved a SQL2000 database to SQL2005.
Collation on SQL 2000 database server was SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
Colaltion on SQL 2005 database server is Latin1_General_CI_AS
After restoring the SQL 2000 database on SQL 2005 we observed that the database collation was SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. We have altered the database collation to Latin1_General_CI_AS. We understand this will work for all new objects created on the database but existing objects (prior to the collation change) will continue to have the 'SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS' collation.
What is the best method to change the collation of the older columns to 'Latin1_General_CI_AS' -
1) Run ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN <colname> <datatype> COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS <nullability>
on each varchar/char column
or
2) For each table
BCP out data
DROP TABLE
RECREATE TABLE (taking the new collation Latin1_General_CI_AS)
BCP in data
3) Other methods?
Thanks in advance
David.
Setting Up Replication On SQL Server 2000 Using Distributor Running On SQL Server 2005
Jul 6, 2006Hi
I have a setup where I need to replicate the database which is actually subscribing from another database. The current setup is all in SQL Server 2000. I need to now setup a Distrbutor on a SQL server 2005 and publish the database using this distributor to another server on SQL server 2000.
Has anybody done this before. If yes what will I need to check. Can you please let me know :-
1) SQL Server 2000 which SP should be installed to support this enviroment.
2) SQL Server 2005 which SP should be installed to support this environment.
3) Any thing that I need to look out for.
Thanks for any inputs on this.

DTC Errors 7395 And 1206 Between SQL Server 2005 And SQL Server 2000 Sp4 - Part1
Feb 6, 2008
Our software vendors upgraded their software and our environment - and applications do not interface as they ought. The vendors do not appear to have any further ideas (to those listed below) and at this stage neither do I. It is now a week since the *upgrade* went live. Looking for new suggestions....
Full story (epic) below. Object names have been changed to protect the *innocent*.
Our organisation had 2 applications:-
appBank
appHouse
both running on the respective platforms:
Server name svrCAT:
Windows Server 2000 sp 4 / SQL Server 2000
Server name svrDOG:
Windows Server 2000 sp 4 / SQL Server 2000
Transactions were "posted" from svrDOG to svrCAT via a linked SQL Server, using login dbL1nkLogin.
dbL1nkLogin was made a user of (with relevant table permissions) of the respective databases:
dbForBank
dbForHouse
*** At this point all was working ***
Upgrading appBank to appBigBank required SQL Server 2005 (and more diskspace).
A new server was purchased:
Windows Server 2003 R2 sp 2 / SQL Server 2005 (Server name svrHORSE)
A linked server was created from the SQL instance on svrHORSE to svrDOG using login name dbL1nkLogin.
dbL1nkLogin was made a user (with relevant table permissions) on database:
dbForBigBank
Attempts to "post" transactions were "posted" from svrDOG to svrHORSE via the linked SQL Server fail with
the appBank application generating the following errors:
On first attempt:
************* FILE ERROR *************

* Parameters and controls within the appBank application were verified.
* Password on dbL1nkLogin was reset in the SQL instances on svrHORSE and svrDOG
* Compared the link server settings on svrHORSE to svrCAT:
Security tab: Be made using security context - Remote Logging: dbL1nkLogin / password
Server Options: Collation Compatible checked (on svrHORSE only)
Data Access checked
RPC checked
RPC Out checked
* Made dbL1nkLogin dbo on databases dbForBigBank and dbForHouse.
* Changed default database from master to dbForBigBank on svrHORSE
* Rebooted svrHORSE and svrDOG (multiple times)
* Verified that svrHORSE could ping svrDOG, and vice versa
* Using DTCping.exe, Verified that the SQL instance on svrHORSE could ping svrDOG, and vice versa
* On svrHORSE, Administrative Tools -> Component Services -> Computers has the following settings for "My Computer" Network DTC Access:
Network DTC Access - checked
Allow Remote Clients - checked
Allow Remote Administration - checked
Allow Inbound - checked
Allow Outbound - checked
No Authentication required - checked
Enable XA Transactions - checked
DTC Logon Account - NT AuthorityNetworkService
These settings were already set. My understanding of KB329332 suggest they are correct. As I could not establish the configuration date of these settings rebooted the server to ensure they'd taken effect.
* Loaded SQL Server 2000 sp4 on svrDOG (Rebooted afterwards in case services not stopped and started correctly)
srvDOG now has MDAC 2.8 sp1 (2.81.1117.6) while srvHORSE has a later version (2.82.3959)- I assume sp2. While they are not the same version, MDAC 2.8 sp2 KB 231943 advises that 2.8 sp2 is not available via the web - so I think it's the best I can do).
* Stopped and manually started MSDTC and SQL Server (via Administrative Tools - Services) in case MSDTC was not being started first.
* KB873160 suggests opening port 135 and adding msdtc.exe as an exception in the Windows Firewall. At present there is no firewall on svrHORSE - which I would assume negates this necessity (at present). In Administration Tools - Services there was a service for the firewall running. Stopping this service has no effect on this issue.
* ( The svrHORSE machine was not created from an ghosted image ).
** None of these things have resolved the issue. **

Can SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Coexist With SQL Server 2000 Enterprise?
Jan 4, 2008
Not sure if this was posted but having a hard time finding an answer.
I'm currently running sql server 2000 enterprise edition on my machine and was wondering what would happen if i installed 2005 express edition and vice versa? I've found many blogs and post about compatibility issues with the 2005 Express Beta version but couldn't find any news with full version. It would be much appreciated if someone can help me out with this problem.
Thanks!
Unable To Create Subscriber On A 2000 Server From A 2005 Server Publisher
Dec 1, 2006Hi,
I'm trying to set up a transactional replication from SQl Server 2005 to SQl server 2000. The Distributor and the publisher are on our server and the subscription is supposed to be on a SQL 2000 server on a different location. Before upgrading to 2005 I didn't have problems - the replication from 2000 to 2000 was working perfectly.
After I succesfully created the distributor and the publication the first problem that I encountered was that when I tried to create the subscription it was giving me an error that I cannot use an IP to acces the server. I realized to fix that issue by creating an Alias in the SQL Server Configuration Manager for the server where I wanted to create the subscription (a push subscription).
Now when I try to add the subscriber it gives me another message "Execute permission denied on object 'sp_MS_replication_installed', database 'master', owner 'dbo'" - so I cannot create the subscriber.
The user that I use to create the subscriber on the 2000 server is dbo for the subscriber database but it doesn't have rights on the master database. Also I realized that on the 2000 server I still have the old subscription but I cannot delete it - for the same reason - no access on the master database. Before upgrading to 2005 I had the exact same rights on the 2000 server.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Problems With Merge Rep After Upgrading From Sql Server 2000 Sp3a To Sql Server 2005 Build 2153
Mar 6, 2007Hi,
We just upgraded 2 sql servers from sql server 2000 sp3a to sql server 2005 build 2153, and merge rep exists between these 2 servers.
However, after sql server upgrade, we had to reinitialize merge replication and now the merge agent is reporting 2 errors
1)
Error messages:
The Merge Agent failed to upgrade triggers, metadata and stored procedures on the Subscriber to versions compatible with SQL Server 2005. Restart synchronization, and if this failure continues to occur reinitialize the subscription. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147199403)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147199403
Invalid column name 'metadata_select_proc'. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 207)

2)
Command attempted:
{call sp_MSensure_single_instance (N'Merge Agent Name', 4)}
Error messages:
The merge process could not connect to the Publisher 'Server:database'. Check to ensure that the server is running. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147199368)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147199368
Another merge agent for the subscription(s) is running or the server is working on a previous request by the same agent. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 21036)
Get help: http://help/21036
looking inside the sp_MSensure_single_instance stored procedure, it's trying to obtain an exclusive lock on resource 'Merge Agent Name' but fails and returns -1
this is the stored procedure executed by sp_MSensure_single_instance and @retcode = -1 and thus cannot obtain exclusive lock on resource
EXEC @retcode = sys.sp_getapplock @Resource = 'Merge Agent Name',
@LockMode = 'Exclusive',
@LockOwner = 'Session',
@LockTimeout = 0,
@DbPrincipal = 'MSmerge_PAL_role'
so i think it's failing because for some reason MSmerge_PAL_role database role does not have enough rights to obtain exclusive lock on necessary resources
i've tried many things to fix this, including scripting out and dropping all merge rep, turning off replication db option and reapplying replication create scripts on the server, and even manually deleting the MSmerge_PAL_role database role but still doesn't work
can anyone help?
Thanks
