Some general tips and suggestions on this ? Say that Im running 2000 with a database and later discover that some parts of the application/system only works in 7.0. So I want to degrade SQLServer version from 2000 back to the old 7.0. Reinstall with attach/detach of db ? backup and restore ? Are 2000 backward compatible in any way with 7.0 ?
Regards Peter
Hi,
Can we degrade from SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition to SQL Server 2000 Standand Edition without doing Uninstall and reinstall?
Thanks in advance,
Hi,
another daily problem ...
I've a table with half million records that my application uses continious with several UPDATE e SELECT statement (about 5 requests/sec).
After several (4-5) hours I've a degrade of performance, but if I update the statistics (of thi table) all return ok.
Now the situation is I create a job to maintenance this table updating statististic two times a day ....
Is it normal? SQL should update statistics by itself?
I choose the wrong way or ... what can i do?
Thx
Dear all,
I would like to share with you the following performance issue:
Configuration-Server
SQL 2005 workgroup edition
Windows 2003 server Small business
2 cpu
3.5 Gbytes Ram
RAID 0
boot.ini /3Gb userva=2560
Page file 2-4 Gbytes to each drive (two drives)
mdf file ~ 300 Mbytes
SQL dedicated server
Configuration-Clients
Windows XP
1 Gbyte RAM
Visual studio 2005 application
9 users
The problem
The users work smoothly for several days. The sql service is running continuously. After few days we have complaints from the users that the system is slow, SPECIALLY when they execute specific queries.
What we have done
1. We refine several queries.
2. We monitored several counters, specially those that reveal performance problems. They all return reasonable values.
3. defragmentation of Hard discs.
4. Stopped the services that are not required.
5. Reindex and update statistics every night.
What we found
When the users are complaining we monitored cpu spikes for sqlserv. We tried to find the reason but failed. The PF is around 2.1 Gbytes, sqlsrv Memory is around 1.5 Gbytes.
What we do not understand is why the system is not slow when we restart the sqlserv service. Also why after several days is becoming slow ??
Is there a memory leak ?
Has to do with continuous tempdb usage ?
Is there a probem with some system resources ?
ANY IDEAS ????
(Win2003, SQL Server 2000 SP4)
I have a database of about 5Gb of size. Some queries where taking more than 1 minute to complete execution (all of them are stored procedures). Because of that lack of performance, I call the command DBREINDEX for each table, executed the sp_updatestats system stored procedure and finally I executed the sp_recompile system stored procedure for each sp in my database.
After all this task, queries completed in a matter of a few seconds instead of minutes. Strange enough is that some hours later (about 6 hrs), after normal use (this database belong to a Client/Server information system), the problem appeared again: Queries started to take too long to complete.
I am assuming that indexes are degrading too fast so that they required another ReIndex, but I am not sure.
Any thoughts? How can I prevent this behaviour?
Thank a lot in advanced.
Hello Guys,
I have a Question. I want to set up a sql alert that will monitor a particular counter(Eg. Memory:pages/sec) and send me an email when it reaches a particular threshold.
My question is if i set up this, Will sql will start running a perfmon on the background and degrade server's performance
OR
Will it just read it from some system file or something to to get the values.
I dont know if the perfmon counter values are stored in any system files or not.
Please advise..
thank you in advance.
Hi,
I'm seeing a few deadlocks on my SQL 2005 production database and wondered what i could expect if i switch on the trace flag 1222. Can this cause more deadlocks to occur? Will the performance of SQL degrade? Is it safe to have this flag set on a production server or is there another method you would recommend?
Thanks

We recently implemented merge replication.We were expereincing. The replication is between 2 SQL Servers (2005) over same network box, and since we have introduced the replication, the performance has degraded considerably on subscriber end.
1) One thing that should be mention is that its a "unidirectional Direction" flow of changes is from publisher towards subscriber (only one publisher and distributor as well and one subscriber ).
2) Updates are high than inserts and only one article let say "Article1" ave update up to 2000 per day and i am experiecing that dbo.MSmerge_upd_sp_Article1_GUID taking more cpu time.what should be do..
on subscriber database response time is going to slow and i am experiencing a lot of number of LOCK time outs on application end.
can any one can also suggest me server level settings for aviding locking time out.
looking for any experieced solution/suggestion.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,Simple question: A customer has an application using Access 2000frontend and SQL Server 2000 backend. Data connection is over ODBC.There are almost 250 concurrent users and is growing. Have theysqueezed everything out of Access? Should the move to a VB.Net frontendtaken place ages ago?CheersMike

Just upgraded some development desktops to Vista Business. However we need
to still connect to some older remote windows 2000/SQL 2000 servers.
Trying to setup an ODBC system DSN on our Vista Business local desktop we get the
following errors -
-START ERROR WINDOW-
Connection Failed:
SQLState: '01000'
SQL Server Error: 772

SQL Server Error: 18

-END ERROR WINDOW-
Any help greatly appreciated as this is stopping us from making
database/table connections etc. We've checked the firewall setup and all is well there.
PS - we can still connect fine using XP or windows 2000 desktops and their
local DSNs.
I am attempting to move some SQL 2000 databases to SQL 2005. My main production database does not seem to want to move. When I use the SQL 2005 GUI the .bak backup file is marked 'Incomplete'. When I attempt to restore the backup file I get a 'RESTORE detected an error on page (0:0) in database' message. I saw a thread in the SQL Express forum suggesting trying to restore from the T-SQL level to get the GUI out of the picture and I get the same 'error on page (0:0)' message. However when I take the same file and use SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager it restores with no problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi, I am trying to edit some data from a SQL2000-datasource in ASP.NET 2.0 and have a problem with a column that has bit-data and is used for selection. SQL2005 works fine when declaring <SelectParameters> <asp:Parameter DefaultValue="TRUE" Name="APL" Type="boolean" /> </SelectParameters>When running this code with SQL2000, there are no error-msgs, but after editing a record the "APL"-column looses its value of 1 and is set to 0. Looks like an issue with type-conversion, we've hit incompatibilities between SQL200 and 2005 with bit/boolean several times before. So, how is this done correctly with SQL2000? (I've tried setting the Type to "int16" -> err. Also setting Defval="1" gave an err) ThanksMichael

I recently had to reinstall a new instance of SQLServer 2000, but was unable to use the previous server name. As a result, my Access2000 front end is not happy with it's linked tables. I can't seem to find anyplace within Access to universally change the address of the SQLServer used as the back-end for all linked tables.
When I do try to access the linked tables through Access, I get an error, and the option to change the server location. When I try to type-in the new SQLServer location, there is an attempt to reconnect to SQLServer, but a whole lot of errors are generated, and none of the data is transferred into the Access table.
I really don't want to have to re-do my Access front end, so it seems it would be easiest to somehow reinstall SQLServer to have the same server location it used to. Is there a good way to completely erase all traces of SQLServer so that I can have better luck reinstalling it to the same location it used to be in? Just using the uninstall program from SQLServer doesn't seem to be cutting it.
Thanks!
I've created a small company database where the tables reside in a SQLServer database. I'm using Access 2000 forms for a front end.I've got a System DSN set-up to SQL Server and am using links withinAccess 2000 to get to the SQL Server tables.My forms worked fine until I made a few minor changes to the databaseschema on SQL Server (e.g. added a foreign key, or added a column).After that, all the links break - I click on a table link and get anerror msg like "invalid object name."Deleting the links after a schema change and re-adding the links seemedto fix the problem. The forms I'd already created seemed to work fineafter re-creating the links.But then I got more advanced with my forms. I have it set up so thatfor certain entry fields, the combobox gets populated with values froma table (the description appears in the drop-down and the correspondingprimary key value gets populated in the table). I created a number offorms using this technique, entered data, and everything worked fine.Made a small schema change and it broke everything -- not the actualtable links, but the functionality for the drop-downs. My values nolonger appeared, and this was true for forms that accessed tables whoseschemas did not change.This is driving me nuts. Is there any way to keep my forms frombreaking each time I make a small schema change?Thanks.- Dana

We are using an Access 2000 project to view our SQL Tables and using Access 2000 Runtime to Access the forms in the project. We have written in a locking system in VB and removed the video controls to prevent users from accessing the same records. But of course now we need to make the video controls available. This has now thrown up the problem of multiple users accessing the same records. We have tried to write code to lock records when then video controls are used but this is not working as well as we hoped. Can anyone please suggest any way of setting up locking on SQL using triggers from the Access frontend? or any other types of locking systems that could be written in the Access front end.

Hi,
I worked on a project in ASP.NET using SQL server 2000 as the back end. Its a conversion application that I rewrote in ASP.NET using C#. I need to import the old data in Access db into SQL server 2000 and I have very little knowledge about doing it. The data in not a direct one -one transformation. There are considerable changes to the Database design and data types. Any help and suggestions wud be really helpful. Also, any article links wud be great.

We have a SQL Server 7.0 system in NT 4.0 environment. We upgraded our users to Access 2000 and started to work with this. Now we installed a new
server which is Windows 2000 based and the domain is different from
the SQL servers domain. We then installed Access 2000 on Windows 2000
to use with terminal server. But I noticed that there was a problem
with the program. I then looked at the program which was written on Access 2000 and saw that the tables and views can't be seen. The program runs but
I can't see the views and tables. Another thing is access disconects from SQL Server when I want to see the tables. So what can be the problem.
In one part there is an Access 2000 on Windows 2000 server. On the other part SQL Server 7.0 on Windows NT 4.0. And Access can't see the tables in SQL server.
When I try to make a connection to an Access .mdb I get the following error:
"Unable to open application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user"
Yet, I am able to open the file through Access and have necessary permissions and I know no one else has it opened. The mdb is password protected and I have provided the correct login information in the DTS connection.
I have a public mailbox that gets information mailed to it (in a pre-determined format).
Is there a way for that info to be put into a table in SQL Server without any user interaction (something running on the exchange server)?
I hope I've given enough info.
Thanks for any and all help!

Hi guys,
I have a performance related question about the DTS package in sqlserver 2000 which i have developed
We have developed a DTS package which will migrate a view 'ATTRITION' from Sqlserver 2000 to an Oracle database.The design of the package is as follows
First step: It checks for the existance of the table 'ATTRITION' in oracle database, if table 'ATTRITION' is not there it will create a table called 'ATTRITION' in the oracle db.If the table 'ATTRITION' is already present in the oracle db,then the table is truncated.
Second step: The view 'ATTRITION' is migrated to Oracle table 'ATTRITION'.
For the migration, i have used a connection object which connects to sqlserver 2000 and for oracle connection i have used another connection object 'Microsoft ODBC driver for oracle' and i have joined both the connection objects with 'Transform data task' task which maps one to one from sqlserver 2000 where view 'ATTRITION' exists with oracle database where Table 'ATTRITION' exists.
Roughly i have around 65000 rows in 'ATTRITION' view of sqlserver 2000 which needs to be migrated.When im running the package on my system it takes around 4 minutes to migrate all the rows but when im running it on the server it takes a lot lot of time more than 1 hour.
The view definition im using has more than 10 tables joined together.But if its a problem of query used in the view,and if i run the view seperately it quickly displays the data hardly takes 1 minute. and even if i run the package on my local pc it doenst take much time.Now my confusion is why its taking soo much time on server.If i create a indexed view then will it solve my problem.Please suggest...
Thanks in advance

I have to merge the data from two databases, one is in SQL Server 2005 format, one is in 2000. The merged data will then reside on a SQL Server 2000 platform. Is there an easy way to do this through Management Studio or Enterprise Manager? Or will we have to export the data from the 2005 database to a flat file and import it into a new 2000 database. And then do the merge?
TIA
