How do SQL 2000 service packs play a role in upgrading? That is, can SQL 2000 Standard with no Service Packs(SP) be upgraded to SQL 2005 Standard, or does SQL 2000 Standard have to have a certain service pack??
I am currently running SQL Server 2000 Standard on my production system, and I am looking to upgrade the system to Windows 2000 Adv. Server. I would also like to upgrade SQL Server 2000 Standard to SQL Server 2000 Enterprise to utilize more than 2GB of memory. Can anyone tell me what is the best way to upgrade the system, and please provide some feedback on your experiences with the upgrade. Thanks in advance.
I have installed IIS, VS.NET 2003, .NET 2.0 Framework, and now I have tried to install the standard version of SQL Server 2000 and it is telling me that I can only install the client components. The O/S is Windows XP Pro on a laptop.
I am running Win2k Professional version SP2. I tried to install the SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition, I got error message said " MS Sql Server 2000 Standard Edition server component is not supported on this operating system. Only client components will be available for installation."
Im attempting to install SQL Server 2000 Standard on Windows XP Pro and it keeps returning to me an error:
"Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition server component is not supported on this operating system. Only client components will be available for installation."
Anybody have any idea what this means according to the documentation and previous posts on installation problems my operating system should support this edition of SQL server.
I am currently trying to migrate to a new computer. My old computer (Box 1) has Windows 2000 Ver 5.0 SP4 as an operating system. My new computer (Box 2) has Windows XP Professional Ver 5.1 SP2 as an operating system.
Currently, I have Microsoft SQL Server 2000 running on Box 1. When I used the CD to install the software on Box 2, it will not allow a full install. Just the Client portion. The exact message I get is "Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition is not supported on this operating system. Only client components will be available for installation.
How in the world do I get this software to install on Box 2? I've seen and downloaded, the service packs but I don't know where to go from there.
Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.
I have installed the SQL Server 2000 developer that came with Office XP Developer. I now have a copy of SQL Server 2000 Standard. What will happen if I try to install the standard version? Will I loss any of my current database logins or settings, etc...?
On the MS website (at this URL: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/evaluation/overview/default.asp) it says that the Standard edition of SQL Server 2000 has a database size limit of 1,048,516 terabytes.
Talking to a friend, he tells me this is not true, and that it has a database size limit of 12gb.
Is Microsofts site incorrect, or is my friend lost?
We have an SQL 2000 Standard SP4 system with 3gb of RAM running on Windows 2003 Server R2 Standard.
The SQL memory usage of this server flatlines at around 1665mb and will not go any higher.
I understand SQL 2000 Standard on Windows 2003 Server Standard has a 2gb memory limit, however why wont the memory push up to this limit? The OS shows there is around 700mb of the 3076 unused (SQL uses 1660, windows uses around 700 making the maximum used around 2300 of the 3076)
I have set the /3gb switch on windows boot, I have changed the SQL memory configurations many different times. If I try and set 'min server memory' to anything over around 1500mb I get the error on SQL startup;
Warning: unable to allocate 'min server memory' of 1720mb
In the above example surely if the Server has a 2gb limit it should let me set say 1720/2048 ? or 1920/2048 or even 2048/2048, however anything over around 1500 generates the above error.
Our server continues to flatline at 1660mb, any help to squeeze out an extra 200-400mb of RAM would be appreciated or an explination as to why it can not be done.
We 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.
We got SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition SP3 running on Windows 2003 Standard Edition server.
Now, we would like to apply windows 2003 SP2 to the Operating System.
We are concerned that whether windows 2003 SP2 is compatible with SQL server 2000 (SP3)?
I was looking at the application compatibility chart for Windows 2003 SP2.Among them Microsoft SQL Server Standard (2000) was listed but with no Service pack details. And also does Standard means standard edition there?
My Question - Is windows 2003 server SP2 compatible with SQL Server 2000 (SP3) Standard Edition? And what if I plan to apply SP4 to Sql Server ?
I recently upgraded my MSDE server to SQL Server 2000 database. After the upgrade, I see, every minute,in the logfile that the database is starting whilst in Enterprise manager the database is up and running. I would be grateful if you could bail me out of this anomaly.
When i install sql server 2000 i have a message " Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition Server Component is not supported on this operating system only client components will be available for installation"
Hence I cannot install properly. I installed only the client componets. Thereafter when I went through Enterprise Manager and tried to establish a connection, I failed. It said server does not exist.
What to do now?
I found out that if one has sql server 2000 standard editon the prerequisties are Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 with Service Pack 5 or later, Windows NT Server 4.0 Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 5 or later, Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, or Windows 2000 Datacenter Server.
I have windows xp professional version on which i am installing sql server standard edition. Which of the above exists in my OS. Or which should I download.
Hi, One of our main servers running on SQL Server 2000 Enterprise edition which has transactional replications on it which replicates to other servers running on the SQL Server 2000 Enterprise edition as well.
Due to Hardware problems the server is being migrated to a new machine but the client has installed SQL Server 2000 standard edition on the new machine.
We will be using a two processor cpu with 4GB RAM and we are also not planning about clustering. Is there any problem if i migrate the server in Standard Edition will the replications work properly between Standard and Enterprise editions.
What other complications can be there if i switch over to standard edition from enterprise edition
Hi there Our ISP hosts our data on SQL Server Enterprise, but I also going to host the databases on my local machine. As it's just local would Standard edition do? If I migrate the databases over, will it work? Thanks in advance.
Is SQL Server 2000 Standard an option for a web application ? OR Only Enterprise version should be used for a web application because the standard version cannot support fully a web application?
We have replication setup on a sql server 2000. We encountered issue that the distribution agent goes down (distrib.exe stop running) in the event of network connection broken. We would like to know:
is this the expected result that the distribution agent will go down in the event of communication failure between the distribution server and subscriber server? if not, is there a way to programmatically control and restart the agent? Is there any sp in SQL server which can monitor the replication communication error message? is there any sp in SQL server which can be run to restart the agent? For the best practice, what do you think we can do to achieve an €˜event-driven€™ kind of mechanism so when an communication breaks, the agent can be restarted by the triggered event (or at least a simple way to automatically restart)?
Hello!I would like to change the SQL server 2000 from Standard version toDevelopment edition. I have two database running on this server, bothreplicated, with few jobs, etc ... Can you recommend the easiest way to dothis? I heard, it would be as easy as, detaching the databases, deletingcurrent SQL software, installing different one, and attaching the olddatabases back. I doubt that is true, so that's why I'm asking here for anyreal-life instructions.Thanks for your input!Kind regards,Dejan--
Here I need some help or suggestions for the following topic...
I am using SQL server 2000 enterprise edition installed on the machine. Now I wanted to change the edition from enterprise to standard. There are around 4 user databases exists on the server. What are the areas I have to take care while doing this? Could I do as normal installation? No log shipping implemented on the server.
I need to max out on RAM somewhere around 3 to 4 GB and I am using SQL 2000. Standard SQL 2000 RAM is limited to 2 GB. SQL Enterprise 2000 is maxed out around 32GB and it cost is $1K. I need to purchase a Windows based SQL package but I can't find the specs on SQL Standard 2003 (which is ~$700) to compare. What is the Max RAM for SQL Standard 2003? Which is a better purchase relative to RAM? What O/S is recommended as this also limits RAM usage?
I'm considering upgrading from MSDE 2000 to Express 2005. Before I do that I need to know if my linked server dependant scheduled jobs will continue to function properly.
Here's my current configuration:
I have a local SQL Server 2000 Standard edition box linked via IP address to a remote MSDE 2000 SQL Server. This link uses SQL authentication.
I want to upgrade the remote MSDE server to 2005 Express. Will my local 2000 SQL Server link successfully with a 2005 Express server?
Also, I have 2000 Developer Edition on my machine and am using Enterprise Manager where I have registered the remote MSDE so I can easily manage the server. Will I be able to register a 2005 Express server or will I need to upgrade my developer machine to 2005? If I do upgrade my developer machine, will I still be able to register the 2000 Standard Sql Server?
If there are any other issues with running a mixed environment like the one described here, please speak up! I want to make an informed decision.
We are upgrading a production database server to new hardware. The server is currently running SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition. We are thinking about installing SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition, however that would mean the test server (2000 Standard) and production server (2000 Enterprise) have different edtions of SQL Server. How much of a risk does this present? Later in the year we would upgrade test to SQL Server 2000 EE, but for a couple of months the environments would be different.
