Database Mirroring In Comp. Mode 80
May 22, 2007
Hi
Is it possible to use Database Mirroring when running a SQL Server 2005 database in compatibility mode 80 (SQL Server 2000)?
If upgrading to SQL Server 2005 we would have to run Principal, Mirror and Witness in mode 80 to support our Transact-SQL Queries. To upgrade our Queries would be equally (or more) costly then to buy new SAN hardware for a cluster in wich case we might well continue running our 2000 cluster. (Buying hardware is slightly more time efficent then rewriting some 1500 queries)
Please advise, thank you

Hello!
I'm reading about database mirroring in High Safety Mode (Synchronous with no witness). I'm a little confused about what happens if the mirror server disappears.
From Books Online
"If the mirror server instance goes down, the principal server instance is unaffected and runs exposed (that is without mirroring the data)."
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179344.aspx
I was to the course [Upgrading your Database Administration Skills to SQL Server 2005] and the course material does not say the same."Scenario: Synchronous mirroring without a witness server. If the mirror server becomes unavailable, the principal server will take the database offline. This action attempts to maximize the protection of the database and ensure the integrity of its contents"
I've made tests that shows that Books Online is right,
but I would like to know if this is a behaviour that has changed.
I also would like to know if it's possible to run in a more secure mode,
where exposed operations is not allowed.
Best regards

Server A = primary SQL DBs (mirroring origination)
Server B = failover SQL DBs (mirroring destination)
For database mirroring a witness is required.
Can the witness live in another instance of SQL on server B?

Using SQL Server 2008, we would like propose mirroring between two servers of a critical database. Since we initiate, may require to clarify on its purpose and also required changes from application end.Any changes required from OS Level? (I believe both servers IP or Host name should be added in host entries. Mirroring ports should be allowed/open including Principal and mirror server IP Addresses): Windows Team.Any changes required from Application? (Instance name, authentication: user name and its password should be added in web config files): Application Team.Any changes required from Network Team?Also for mirroring both the principal and mirror servers should be with same version, does it only mean SQL Server 2008 versions are enough or does it also mean to say build numbers 10.00.4000 should also be same.URL....

Hello,
I'm trying to load en EBCDIC file with packed decimal in comp 3 into a SQL table.
I have been searching information in this forum in several threads and have downloaded a DLL from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0e4bba52-cc52-4d89-8590-cda297ff7fbd&displaylang=en
and so far I've been able to get the "UnpackDecimal Data Flow Transformation" to work ... sort of.
The problem is that in the destination table the decimals appear allways as NULL.
The destination decimal column type in the table is set as VARCHAR (I've tryed to set Integer with no success).
Any help on this will be apreciated. If you need more information please ask.
Thanks.

I have just finished configuring my first test mirrored environment (High safety mode). I setup the database engine service accounts on each of the servers with domainuser. I inherited a production mirrored environment set up by someone else. On the production servers the database engine service account is NT Authorityuser a local account. I am trying to practice installing Windows updates within a mirrored environment and I not sure how to proceed when the service account is NT Authority user account. should I change the service account to a domainuser?

When I issue this command:
ALTER DATABASE foo set PARTNER = 'TCP://10.3.3.1:1234'
I get this error message:
The database is being closed before database mirroring is fully initialized. The ALTER DATABASE command failed.
What does that mean, and how do I fix it?

I set up a new mirror server. Everything is good except that the Database Mirroring Monitor is not working for one of the databases. In the monitor the principal data is showing up as blank
If I look at dbm_monitor_data on the principal most of the data columns (e.g. Send_queue_size) are null where as they have data for the other databases.
Both servers are SQL Server 9.0.2047 Enterprise Edition.
Any idea what might be going on here?
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
Couple of questions about database mirroing.
1. Once the mirroring is setup is it possible to switch between high-protection and high-performance modes? If it is will I have to stop the mirroring, switch the modes and then restart it again?
2. Let's say the principal server went down and I manually failed over to the mirror server. Mirror server runs as a new principal server for a couple of days and then I bring the original principal server back up. What needs to be done in order to bring transactions on the principal server up to date?
Thanks.

we want to migrate our production server , without taking the database down.so what we did was , we mirrored the databases from production to one of our development servers and we took the prodcution server for uprgrade.
so today we are moving back (mirroring) all the databases from that development server to our new production server.
my question is , when i move
productionserver_old(principal server) - having the script for principal server
development server(mirror server---->principalserver)) - having the script for mirror server , which is now acting as principal server
new production server(mirror server) - having the script for mirror server. will become principal server , once i moved all the databases
now while mirroring between the developement server and the new production server, i have to run the scripts for the mirror server only.
so both the servers are havign the mirror script now...
is that a problem, or any other way i can handle this....

Hi,
Is there a way to automatically mirror/backup a SQL Express database with a SQL Server 2005 licenced system?
They will be on seperate machines on the internet.
I have done manual backup and restores but would like to allow constant updates to allow both databases to be synchronized.
I read that the SQL Server 2005 version has a mirroring facility but I also read that this is not possible in the Express version.
What other (automated) options do I have?
Thanks Andrew

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)
Rgds,
Adie
