Heterogenous Tran Repln From MSSQL2000 Eval Entrerprise To Sybase 15 Dev Edition
Nov 30, 2006
Hi All,
As mentione I am trying to replicate(transactional) a table from MSSQL 2000 Enterprise Evaluation to Sybase 15 Developer Edition. I downloaded an ODBC Data (a third party -OpenLink Lite )
The connectivity to heterogenous subscriber is successfully established. Linked Server too is established.
However the distributor agent fails on setting up the replication with the following error:
<< The column descr in table MSrepl7 does not allow null values.(233) >>
The target Sybase table has all the nullable coulmns ie I can insert a complete NULL record.
Okay heres the problem I'm facing. I have GoDaddy as my hosting company. They only support MSSQL2000 but I just recently bought MSSQL2005 Developer Edition. And I was wondering what is the main difference between them two. I didn't find anything on Google. And the only thing is I can't find a better host. Cause I have 50GB of space and 500GB of bandwidth. And I don't want to lose that for just MSSQL2005 support cause my host doesn't/ Have that. So im stuck like chuck. Is there really any difference?
I did all the stuff necessary for the upgrading (the Upgrade Advisor didn't say anything special), but the Setup says the following:
" Name: Microsoft SQL Server 7.00.1063 Cause: The update is blocked. You can obtain more informations in the online help "Versions- and editionsupdates".
Editions problem: The update is blocked because of rules for the editions update. "
Is it possible that an upgrade is not possible with the evaluation edition? Or can there be another cause?
I have been testing and developing with Sql 2005 enterprise eval. Now ready to deploy, and we have purchased a "device" and 5 "cal" licenses for each box. What is the recommended procedure for applying Sql 2005 "standard" licenses to existing boxes having 2005 enterprise eval. installed? I do not want to delete and re-install sql server if at all possible!
I am running an Execute SQL task that does a Begin Tran, then the next task in the sequence is a data task which imports a XML file into two tables. If i doo a Rollback Tran only one of the two tables is rolled back.
Is it possible to have both tables rolled back from one Begin tran command or do i need to split the datatasl into two and treat each import as a seperate issue ?
I want to rollback my t-sql if it encounters an error. I wrote this code:
begin tran mytrans; insert into table1 values (1, 'test'); insert into table1 values (1, 'jsaureouwrolsjflseorwurw'); -- it will encounter error here since max value to be inputted is 10 commit tran mytrans;
I forced my insert to have an error by putting a value that exceeds the data size. However, I didn't do any rollback. Anything i missed out?
Another DBA on my team is trying to tell me that it is a widely accepted best practice to only have a single version of SQL server in the enterprise environment. This seems counter intuitive to me and I cannot find a confirming source for this assertion.
I would think that it largely depends on your environment but that once a new version of SQL server has been decided on for a given application, for whatever reasons, that new version should be used moving forward on all new development.
It also seems like that as other databases grow and hardware comes to its end of life that older databases be either migrated or ported to the new version as seems appropriate.
Is there any reason an enterprise should always be on X version and only X version?
Hi All, Is there a way by which we can modify the width of a column of a table which is being replicated without touching the ongoing transactional replication? This is for MSSQL2000 Transactional Replication.
I know (and successfully tried) that we can add a column to a table and that gets propaged to the replicate database and indeed the added column gets reflected there. How to add a column? sp_repaddcolumn or Right Click on the Publication-Properties and it shows a button to Add a Column.
This is what I have tried for modifying the width of a column of a table participating in Transactional Replication from varchar(10) to varchar(100)
MH (source) -> MH1 (Replicate)
The column €ścol1€? had width of varchar(10) and this was altered to varchar(100).
I have a SQL Server 2005 evaluation that has already been installed and setup on a server. I believe it originally had a 180 day eval. There have been numerous databases and users added as well as maintenance plan created...
The eval was put on the machine as an interim solution while waiting for paper work and order processiing things to happen. All the paperwork and ordering... have been completed and I now have the real SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition license key ....
I am very new to SQL Server and need to determine ...
1. Can I update the eval copy to become permanently licensed?
2. Would I want to upgrade the eval to permanent? Will I lose any capabilities by keeping the current eval setup?
If it is reasonable to keep the eval setup
3. How do I go about entering the license key to make it permanent?
If it is necessary to install the new Standard Edition...
4. How do I install it while maintaining the already defined databases, data, users, maintenance plan...
Hi May I ask how to export MSSQL2000 DB to *.sql with all existing data? As I built the DB on local machine, the remote machine only provide SQL Server Web Admin which has Query Analyzer only. I can export a *.sql file, but there are no data. Thanks for help
Hi! I am a newbie using MSQL so please patience. I compact my database with DATABASE SHRINK(DB,10) BACKUP LOG data WITH TRUNCATE DATABASE SHRINK(DB,10)
When I see the properties of my DB I see something strange 1- My log always has 1 mb of space 2- Database properties show me this information:
Size: 21639.23MB Space Available: 782.23
Backup Last database backup: 9/28/2007 1:44am Last transaction log backup 6/9/2007 12:47 pm
I am so afraid because this says that I just have 782.23MB but my disk has 30GB yet.
Ok, so this 3rd party application we have exhibits some interesting behavior; when you amend any table through it's interface it drops and re-adds the object; meaning all permissions to the object are also removed. (Just take my word for it when I say that the table changes have to be done through this app).
Now, I've built a little application that hooks into this using an SQL Server authenticated user account with SELECT only permission on particular tables. Currently the app uses sprocs to access data. However, when changes were made to the schema last week; the application, obviously, received permission errors and ground to a nice halt.
I know that in 2005 we have the lovely EXECUTE AS statement; but I'm running a 65compaability database here and don't have that functionality.
Any ideas on how I can sort this mess out?
Hope I explained this well enough, let me know if you need any more info
Hi, I have a bunch of data from tables on MS SQL 2000 and i want to transfer this data to my new database running on MS SQL 2005. How do i perform bcp on this? thanks :D
Hi Group,I developed a intranet site using MSSQL7/win2000 some time ago.The target environment used MSSQL2000/8.We were (almost painlessly) able to import the db-scheme and data from 7to 8. (Bravo MSSQL)Now I need to do some upgrading on the application and I would like tohave a copy of the database from MSSQL2000/8 to MSSQL7.Is that also possible?Or should I download Microsoft SQL Server Express and use that insteadof my MSSQL7? Is it better?I hope I can get the relationsheet too (that one with Foreign Keysmapped in a nice graphical way).Any advise highly appreciated.I am good with Postgresql, but my MSSQL skills leave a lot to bedesired. :-/For an outsider like me the many versions and OS's are quite confusing.Do I need special commands on MSSQL2000/8 to create a MSSQL7 compatibleexport?Thanks in advance!Regards,Erwin Moller

Hi.. Never used MSSQL 2000 db. I have this website that uses mssql2000. I want to export it and convert db in mysql. Please help me understand how i can do that. I have all login info..
I have mssql2000 running on a Windows 2003 server and now have a requirement to run an Oracle 10g database as well. Is it possible to run both mssql2000 and oracle 10g on the same server without running into any conflicts or will the two programs cause errors with each other?
Anyone have any experience with this? Oracle says it's technically possible but the tech had never seen it done.
Hi, I'm executing a stored procedure in my local LAN which executes another one in a loop and I update a Table. The number of loops is about 6300. This operation takes about 25 seconds in my local LAN. Then I try to execute though in a VPN which has an upload speed of 256 kbps. I open query analyser connect to the remote server which is must faster than mine and I just write exec mystoredprocname in order to execute the procedure. The performance is very very slow. In 7 minutes 180 loops are completed out or 6300. I really cannot understand this. What is the reason of such slow perfomance?? My ADSL model displays no activity when the procedure is executed. I just use the PRINT method in MSSQL in order to display the progress of the operation. I tried to comment it out but with no difference. I also use SET NOCOUNT ON in order not to display the update results.
Can someone explain me the cause for this? Are there some tricks in order to improve the performance when a slow connection is used like a ADSL with a static IP? It seems that something wrong is happening here.
Hello!Does anybody know whether mssql2000 and emc mirrorvew _certified_ forjoint work?(Mirrorview is a fc-based remote mirroring solution)I mean is it supported from the MS point of view to put mssqldatafiles on emc mirrorview volumes?For example Oracle corp. has "Oracle Compatible Remote MirroringTechnologies" certification.But what about MS?
(MSSQL2000) I have read the transaction/locking sections in theMS-help, online and several books. What I want to understand is thetransaction behavior in single statements [not a BEGIN TRANSACTIONStatement1, Statement2... COMMIT].If I have a Table: "Letters" with 1 column "L" and the table presentlyhas rows{A,B,C,D}Case 1 (Insert):First start transaction T1 "SELECT * FROM Letters"Next start transaction T2 [separate connection] "INSERT INTO LettersVALUES( 'Z' )"Is it possible that T2 ends before T1 and the select returns{A,B,C,D,Z}Is it possible that T1 ends before T2 and the select returns{A,B,C,D} [No 'Z']Is this a race condition and I need to use a TABLOCK or TABLOCKX;and are TABLOCK/TABLOCKX only hints? I mean does the use of TABLOCKguarantee a lock on the table? Do I need to use 'SET TRANSACTIONISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE' and if I use 'TRANSACTION ISOLATIONLEVEL' is there a means of telling the system which tables I willtouch so that I can avoid a deadlock [upfront tell the system whattables I need to lock so there is not a race later]?Case 2 (Delete basically the same):First start transaction T1 "SELECT * FROM Letters"Next start transaction T2 "DELETE FROM Letters L = 'D'"Is it possible that T2 ends before T1 and the select returns {A,B,C}[No 'D']Is it possible that T1 ends before T2 and the select returns{A,B,C,D}Case 3 (Update basically the same):First start transaction T1 "SELECT * FROM Letters"Next start transaction T2 "UPDATE Letters SET L = 'Z'"Is it possible that T2 ends before T1 and the select returns{A,B,Z,Z} [Some letters were seen to become 'Z']Is it possible that T1 ends before T2 and the select returns{A,B,C,D}
Here I got some problems with my application. (ASP & English Version SQL Server 2000)
As we are using English MSSQL Server 2000, we got some new functions and we have to facilitate support of Chinese characters in the DB. I have set the collation for those Chinese fields already and those queries or Stored Procs for Chinese are working fine, ONLY if I execute them in Enterprise Manager. Chinese characters can be displayed in the relevant tables.
However here comes the big problem and I got really frustrated. As we will provide user interface in ASP pages, we 'll let users to insert the information which will be sent to the DB. If there's Chinese characters in the query string, the Chinese characters added in the DB would be garbled.
e.g. EXECUTE proc_TestChinese 'XYZ', 'test123' (assume XYZ be those Chinese words)
I am wondering if there's any way I can solve this problem. Should I add special handling for these Chinese words? I have set the ASP pages in UTF-8 or Big5 encoding but it doesn't help. Hope you experts can show me the way out of the mess. Thanks in advance!
I have a datadabase with 1 datafile from 60Gb. Is it a good thing(preformance) to split up this datafile in smaller datafiles from 6Gb each? I don't have separete diskslices so a can't spread my datafiles on my disks but i only need to know if a datafile from 60Gb sin't too big for MSSQL2000.

I was using MSSQL7 for a long period. I upsized to MSSQL7 from Access some years ago. Without any particular reason when writing code in stored procedures, when I wanred to select some records having a bit column to true I used the syntax bitcolumn=-1 (and not bitcolumn=1). This behavior was used in Access. Everything worked fine. Then I moved to MSSQL2000 and by restoring the MSSQL7 database I had no problem. However, in order to use some features of MSSQL2000 I had to run the sp sp_dbcmptlevel <database>, 80 After that the condition bitcolumn=-1 didn't work. Can anyone verify this behavior, since I have to make dozens of changes in my stored procedures and triggers???

SELECT * FROM TA a WHERE a.rx=264886 and AN= (select max(AN) FROM TA where rx=a.rx)
I have a table TA with 8+ million rows and there is clustered PK on (rx, AN) columns. The count on rx=264886 is 6000+ rows. This query takes about 1 to 2 minutes to fetch data. Can anyone suggest how to improve performance and fetch data faster?
Hi AllI need to aggregate a query to produce the following:Workplace AvgM100 4.7M120 3.45Which would be a normal aggregate:SELECT Workplace, Avg(VALUE)FROM PRODGROUP BY WorkplaceHowever I need the average to only be based on the most recent 20results from each of the Workplace groups.I've never had to do something like this before so can't think of anyway to only take off the most recent 20 for each group (ordered byDate). It doesn't really matter if there were 25 spread across 2 daysI would just cut the list at 20 VALUEs as there is no time componentinvloved.Is there any way to do a sub-query that uses select top 20 ... foreach group that could then be aggregated?I would prefer to do it through a select statement rather than havingto use a stored procedure using and variables, etc which I can do. Thetable is not huge but is growing rapidly so I'm concerned thatanything using dyamic SQL or similar would be become painfully as thenumber of groups grows to 5,000 or more.If anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance,Bevan

I'm new to sql 2005 and recently installed the 180 day 2005 Enterprise Eval Product, when i click Help About in the SQL Mgnt Screen it says i have 25 days untill it expires.
The system has been setup by a freelance SQL contractor and its now live and fully working.
So i now have bought SQL 2005 Standard software and need to activate the eval product but cant figure out how to do this.
Can someone please explain my best solution here on how i can activate/license this system without loosing my data.
