I currently have several databases running under SQL 7. My Shop is migrating to Windows 2000. I was wondering, does SQL 7 run as good under Win 2000 like it does under Win NT? Since we are migrating should I upgrade to SQL 2000 or should I stay with SQL 7?
Thanks.
I'm confused. Will SQL200 run on NT4.0, SP6a or do I need to upgrade to Microsoft Server 2000 first??? My MSDE is dying...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm upgrading a set of databases from SQL7 on one server (A) to SQL2000 on another server (B). I'd like input on the best method for moving the databases over (BCP, restore from BAK, etc), and in particular on moving the list of valid users (with default databases, permissions to databases, etc) and the DTS packages and Agent jobs.
When moving the databases, which are currently in code page 850, I might want to have them convert to the standard Latin-1 of SQL2000, though this isn't critical.
TIA,

Hi,
Is there any difficulties I should be aware of? I'm not running DTS and I think my DB is relatively simple. I've googled and not found anything that sticks out as a problem.
We are getting a new server because we want more RAM, and better upgrade options. The hosting company recommended 64bit SQL, so I am thinking of following their recommendations.
I am upgrading from a 2 x p4 2.8ghz xeons to 1 x Intel 5130 dual core 64 bit chip. I also will be going from 2 gigs to 4 gigs of RAM.
Any thoughts I would love to hear.
Thanks!
Hi ,
We are using the a 4 CPU SQL Server 2000 Enterprise edition for our application ,
We want to migrate to SQL2005 with the compatibility level downgraded to SQL2000.
If we go for the SQL2005 Standard edition is there any problem?
We are not using the Failover clustering in our server.
thanks & Regards

I havent appeared for any of the MS exams as yet
but would like to start with 70 228 and 70 229.
I like reading BOL, but i guess for certfn exams you have to have a diff approach...
Is it worth it for performance purposes to create additional fields in table so that when a database query is made two tables don't need to be joined?

Hi,I have a sql 2000 server with 8 processors, server settings are asdefault. I read on Technet that it is good practise to remove thehighest no. processors from being used for parallelism, correspondingto the no. of NICs in the server. One of our 3rd party developers hasrecommended only allowing one processor to be used as there is aperformance hit by the server working out which processor to use. Doesanyone have a definitive answer to this? I suspect he's wrong but I'dlike some hard evidence if possible, thanks.Kev.

I have a question regarding a project I am working on and I'm not sure what the best way to do it may be, I am new to SSIS and would like to gain some exposure using it, but don't know if this project is overkill or even possible using SSIS.
*** PROBLEM ****
Basically I have a large number of flat files each file contains different columns and data. What I want to do is import all of the data from the flat files into corresponding tables in SQL Server. The tables in SQL server are already defined with data structure to match each file. The first 10 characters of the flat file are also the same name as the SQL table. So it seems easy enough to just import flat file to table one by one, but I cannot figure out how to match the flat file structure to each table without setting up a task for each table (there are roughly 50-60 tables). Another reason I want to do it with SSIS is these flat files have to be imported on a weekly basis.
**********************
Is it in my best interest to just create a stored procedure that basically loops through the files and imports the data? Or do you think using SSIS is the best solution? I have looked at SSIS a bit and thought maybe I could use the bulkinsert task, but it appears it cannot dynamically change due to column specs. I figured out how to loop through the flat files using the foreach task, but I could only get it to import into one SQL table. I also started looking at the dataflow task and thought about creating a script task, but I'm not sure if that would work before I spend a lot of time trying to figure that out.
Any suggestions or thoughts are appreciated.
Thank you
Very often during dev. I add processes that don't change the metadata of a data item (for example a new sort) yet the linieage id is changed. This causes lots of headaches down the pipe. If metadata of a data item is not changed in the pipe, why is the lineage id changed?
If lineage is not smart enough to figure out when some metadata was actually changed, should it be made smart enough? Or optional?

Hey all,
I'm trying to set up a backup schedule in SQL 2005 that will keep 5 .bak files within the folder I specify. I can get it to keep one backup only even though I specify that it is to keep 5 days worth of backups. Each backup happens at 12:00 am. I think the problem I may be having is I don't know how to get the maintenance plan to name the file mmddyyyy.bak or whatever it may need to determine that the file is 5 days old. Currently I am specifying a name of gmsqlbackup.bak. Any idea's that may help me out?
I have a need to query my data and return only the last 24 hours (versus last day) worth of data.
My date and time fields are called:
calc_date = the date
Calc_time= the time
RealTime = Calc_date+Calc_time as realtime
I know if I use getdate()-1 that will get me the last day, but I need the last 24 hours. Any ideas on how would I do this?
Which sort of data (from application architecture) point of view it's worth to put in XML datatype (MS SQL 2005)?

Hi,
I have to upgrade the sql server from 6.5 to 7.0 for the first time. I have decided to go with two machine upgrade using named pipes.
The question is: Can we still use 6.5 machine and database as production version until we test out the application on 7.0?
We are planning to relpeat the upgrade once the testing is done on 7.0 server once the testing is done.
We're going to be upgrading our Server from 6.5 to 7.0. In addition we're getting a new SQL Server Box.
Which of the following is better: a) Install SQL 6.5 on the new box, restore the DB from old box to the new box, then install 7.0 on the new box and use the upgrade wizard to upsize the DB. (We'll have room to leave the 6.5 devices on the box after upgrading.) or b) Install SQL 7.0 on the new box and upsize the db across the network (100megabit network cards).
Thanks,

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I'm using Visual Studio's one click deployment to install/update software for users. SQL Express 2005 is the default, and I need to get all current and new users to update to SQL Express 2005 SP2. Ontop of that, I need to change the sa password for all current users (I should be able to manually set it for the new guys).
The problem I'm having is that instead of just updating the current SQL Express engine installed, it creates a new instance of the SQL Express engine when installing SQL Express SP2.
Is there anyway to just update SQL Express to SP2? Is there an easy way to change the sa password when doing so?
I have an application which installs MySQL 3.23. It's hard-coded. Irealize there are newer versions, so I am thinking, what's easiest:1) install the application with its default 3.23 and then run a scriptto convert 3.23 to 4.1 or later,or2) modify the application to install a newer version of MySQL from thestart.

Hey,
I have a SQL Server 2005 Express Edition installed, and I want to upgrade to SP2.
Is there a way to configure (using the setup ini file maybe?) the installer to install only the SP2?

When I run SP3 & SP4 for SQL Server it runs okay. I get no errors after the installation & both installations call for a reboot which I do with no problems.
But yet when I get back into my machine, go to the Query Analyzer & run "Select @@version" and execute it, it's still showing v8.00.194 (Original release). It should be showing 8.00.2039.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi,
Well there's always a first for everything!! I have a SQL 7.0 server on sP1
and ran upgrade to sp3 and recieved error 'error in upgrade script' retry or cancel. When I retried the upgrade ended. I tried to run the upgrade again and it tries continue where it ended before, but the upgrade ends unsucessfully. I even tried extracted the sp3 exe to a diffrent folder and ran the sp3 upgrade with same results.
I started the MSSQL service ok but not able to use Query Analyzer, DTS, EM.
Get the following message:ISQL.EXE - Entry Point not found. The procedure entry point?DeleteRow@CDataCTLStorage@@UAEJJPAPAG@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLGUI.dll
I get similar msgs when trying to open DTS, Enterprise manager from the server. The user databases and appear to be ok. I am able to get to Query Analyzer, etc. from my worksation fine.
Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a fix for it or do I need to rebuild the server from SP1 and restore the databases, etc.??
Thanks Much,

I have a couple of 6.5 installations with different codepages/sort orders, when I come to upgrade these databases, is it possible to change the code pages/sort order during the upgrade of my existing databases so that I have the same sort order/codepages across all my sites?
The databases don't actually have any extended characters in.
Thanks

All the documentation I have read talks about upgrading from SQL Server 6.x. I presume I can use the upgrade wizard to upgrade my 6.0 system directly to 7.0 without having to upgrade to 6.5 first.
Any thoughts, comments or help would be much appreciated.
