I currently use Enterprise Manager 8.0 with several SQL 2000 servers. I'm ready to work with my first SQL Server v 2005. Can I use EM 8.0 along side the new Management Console until I'm through the learning curve? I understand you cannot register a 2005 server with EM 8.0, but I assume you can register a 2000 server from the new Management Console without any problem.
View 1 RepliesHi,
I have just installed SQL 2005 client tools and management studio to register SQL 2000 databases. Although it registers the servers successfully , I can't see any activity monitor on the SQL 2000 registered server . Is it something more that I have to install to see what's happening ?
Thanks in advance.
Looking for a way to manage reports on both 2000 and 2005. Over the past couple years many reports were created/modified by different people (some no longer available) and we are working on consolidating eveything on a "new improved, bigger, better" 2005 server. I know some reports are duplicated or nearly duplicated on the two systems and are in several different projects/solutions. I want to find a way to collect/consolidate a list of all the projects/solutions, reports, date created/modified, data sources, etc. to help determine how best to procede. I looked through the forum and other documentation but couldn't find a method to do this. Basically I need a report on my reports. Thanks, al.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have SQL Server 2000 and 2005 running on the same server. My current system is in SQL Server 2000 and the new system is in SQL Server 2005. My users will be using SQL Server 2000 for the most part, But for the part the processes that have been migrated to 2005, they will be using SQL Server 2005 as well. The database schema is different on both servers eventhough the data will be similar in most respects.
Is there is a way through which any data that is inserted/updated in SQL Server 2000 via content Management System/ manually/ via a batch job, the data is automatically populated in SQL Server 2005 tables or vice versa?
Please advice at the earliest.
Thanks.
I have one database at an ISP running on a SQL 2000 server. Under Windows XP Pro, I installed SQL 2000 administrative tools then I could use the database manager as well as the query tool to manage my database.
I have upgraded my machine to Windows Vista Ultimate. SQL 2000 client services won't install under Windows Vista.
Under Windows Vista, I was able to create an ODBC component that connected successfully to the SQL 2000 remote database, but I no longer have a transaction tool or a gui to manage the tables.
My goals are simple: I want to be able to view/add/drop tables and data using some sort of GUI. I would also like to have some sort of SQL transaction client. I don't need to do any high level database management, just view/change/add/delete tables in the one database that I own on that server.
My isp is NOT going to upgrade their SQL. I do not own Microsoft Access or Microsoft Excel. What FREE software options do I have, given my goals?
Hi, I just start using MSSQL server 2005, I already install vss studio
2005 so SQL server 2005 is already installed by default (express
edition).
But unlike SQL server 2000, I coultn't find any tools similiar to "sql
entreprise manager". I was able to create a new database only from
server explorer tools in VSS. But pretty strange that this database act
like a microsoft access database (creating a database file on my
app_data folder). (I am sorry I am new in SQL server 2005
ExpressEdition ).
My question :
1. is that (above) really how mssql server 2005 works?
2. how to create a new user for this database? (example user: sa password: "admin")
thanks
Hi
We would like to install Sql 2005 Enterprise Edition (including database engine, reporting service, integration service and analysis service) as a sepearte instance on a server which already has Sql 2000 with reporting services and analysis services. We do not want to disturb the existing sql 2000 setup.
If we do that then what will happen to my earlier sql 2000 reporting service? Will it be upgraded to sql 2005 reporting service? I heard that reporting services are instance unaware application. Where will be the default reporting service database available?
Please help us.

Hi,
I have a page that shows some problem indexes (cards ? I don't know the word :/ ) and I want to show only those that are from the current day.
I'm using SQL server 2000. I have a date field inside my table (datetime type). So I tried to put another condition in my WHERE clause. This is:
WHERE something = something else AND mydate = DATEPART('dd', getdate())
or
WHERE something = something else AND mydate = DAY(getdate())
Both don't work..
I wonder if I can really use this in a WHERE clause...of if I'm using them correctly.
Does anyone know if it's possible to grant a user the ability to manage jobs in server agent besides giving them SA rights? I none of the server roles beside SA seem to be able to work.
Thanks
Hello,
I am currently working on a large project that will be developed using MS SQL. I have been considering two options when it comes the creation of the database. The first option is to create a sepereate table for each of my clients. The tables would be labeled by their Id number then the tables reqular name. Fore example : 781_Users.
The other option is to create a different database for each of the clients.
I just need the data to be seperated between clients, it cant mix. Please just give me your opinion on which option you would consider if you were operating a large project.
Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone. Have a little situation here. I am not normally the DBA at my work, but i've been poking around a little with a SQL Server 2005 implementation. I'm pretty new to this, so please pardon my lack of knowledge.
This particular server is running a lightly used SQL server, or so im told. As part of my Sys Admin duties, I logged into the box today for some routine checks, only to be notified that I was running out of disk space (which is another story).
After poking around awhile, I see that my tempdb is almost 15gb in size.
I don't have a lot of experience with SQL Server 2005. I've worked mostly with 2000. I did read a few things where tempdb has changed a bit in 2005? I wasn't sure.
So I have about 10gigs of space free on my HD (I'm adding more space tomorrow) and I need to figure out what to do.
I came across this thread here:
http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=64914
is that something I should do? I'm a little concerned I might run out of space overnight and not make it in time.
Anyone have some suggestions?
Thanks.

Hello,Has anyone ever come across a reason why someone would manually create auser table incl. permission flags and not use the inbuilt user/rolesprovided by that database? The only reason that stands out for me is tomake the database that bit more portable?Thanks,Craig.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to centralize my previous standalone application. Previous application was using VB.NET and Access XP. Now I want to keep a centralized database (SQL Server 2005) and VB.NET 2005. At this point of time thousands of concurrent users will connect to the database at the same time.
In my application, when a ticket is being issued to a tourist, an SQL query finds the max(ticketno) for the current month from the main table and reserves this number for the current ticket. When the operator has finished entering information and clicks SAVE button, the record is saved to the main table with this ticket no. Previously there was no issue since the database was standalone.
I want to know how to block the new ticket no so that other concurrent users are not using the same number for saving a record. How to better tune the database for thousands of concurrent users at the same time? I also want that the other user must not get an error message when he attempts to save a record. It should be automatically handled by the database.
Hello,I have an ASP.NET website which uses SQLServer 2000 as database. I am into tracking the customers who visit to the website. We are getting around 10000 users per day. When each page gives request, request details will be inserted into SQL tables.Table's I am using is indexed. I am in confusion that when these index will be regenerated ? Will it regenerated automatically when new row's are inserted ? or do we need to regenerate it manually ? And what is the difference on Clustured Indexing and Full text indexing ? Which one I should use for better performance ?Thanking youNavaneeth
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi everyone,
When an error occured in a transaction and we can also create a message for this error ourself too by using @@error in order to print a message . However, I wonder that is it possible to really catch and handle the error ??
For example, when error occured it makes the transaction terminated. So how can we prevent transaction from terminating ??
Meanwhile, I also examine RAISERROR statement but it also does not prevent a transaction from terminating instead Ĺźt only provide an additional message for the error.
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
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've combed through SQL Help to find the answer to my question but I think it's telling me it can't be done. I work both from an office with my servers and from home. When I'm at home I would like to access my SQL server remotely using a tool such as MS SQL Server Management Studio. But it appears there is no way to access my SQL Server for management purposes using Management Studio over a remote internet connection. I can access the server using Management Studio while I'm on the internal office network but not from home.
Has anyone been able to do this or might recommend a third party tool as robust as Management Studio?
Thanks

We have a convoluted DTS package. The package is stored and scheduled to run on database server1. Within the package we:
• Make a connection to database server2
• Execute a ‘Process Task’ to execute EXCEL.EXE that is installed on server3
• Pass parameters through the ‘Process Task’ direct EXCEL.EXE to open a .xls file on server4
• When the Excel file opens, an auto_exec macro in the Excel file being opened imports a text file local to server4 AND directs Excel to save it with another name on server4.
The questions are:
1.Excel is not installed on server1 so how do we direct Excel to execute on server3 rather than server1 where the DTS package is being executed?
2.And how do we control the security context that executes Excel through this use of automation?
3.Other than potential CPU competition, are there any significant issues with having Excel installed on a dedicated database server?
I'm fairly new to SQL server, and I'm helping someone who has a fairly high employee turnover rate.
I would like to create an interface that would allow her to add/edit/delete users and their permissions without having to get into management studio. I'll build a form in the front end application that will presumably pass parameters to a SProc that will do the work.
Her users fall into two categories - full and read only. The tasks she'll need to perform are very simple.
1) Add new user with full access to all tables
2) Add new user with read only access to all tables
3) Change user access from read only to full
4) Change user access from full to read only
3) Delete user
Can someone point me in the right direction on this? Some sample code would be nice, but at the very least I'd like a better term to search by..
Searching for "stored procedure user permissions" brings up tons of hits that mostly deal with who can and can't run a sproc..
Hello,
I have a solution with a lot of packages, and each of them has configurations set on an SQL Server table. Right now the information in the table is outdated and I'd like to overwrite it with the new values on the properties of each package (and its elements). Is there another (faster) way to do this without having to disable/enable or recreate all configurations manually?
Thanks in advance

I am developing an office automation software for a government department. To start with, I have decided to first automate the salary section of the department. Because of some issues like, TCO, easy support and maintenance, scalability etc., I have decided to use SQL Server 2005 database with VB 2005 front-end.
I have planned the layout for this first part and found that in only employee salary table, 40,000 records per month will be stored. That comes out to be around 480,000 records annually. This is for one table alone, excluding data in other tables.
Since each section of the department will be integrated into this later, this application will become the backbone the department. The employee service, leave, salary, allowance, deduction and other records shall be maintained.
For this type of mission-critical application, I want to get some queries cleared:
(1) What backup strategy should be followed? I want to have schedule and maual backups both. Is there any way to have a mirror image on another server?
(2) What considerations to keep in mind in the inital stage of database design?
(3) How to keep the design scalable and configurable to meet future needs?
Hello~
I operate MsSql server with Maximum Server Memory.
The server has 2GB main memory and Maximum Server Memory is 1GB.
If sqlserv.exe use 1GB main memory, new query is not cached.
I think, sql server release pages in main memory to cache new query. but no release.
By above reason, performance of new query is not good.
How can sql server cache new query?
-- Memory Setting --
MIN : 0, MAX : 1GB

Hi everybody,
I wish to manage the process of transactional replication between two SQL databases using a c# (or any other possible language, does not differ) written tool. More accurately, I have a database in my server, and I want to have the program to be run from any other computer and does the replication between the local pc(where the program is run) and my server. More to say is that the connection between the server and pc(s) is over the internet.
I would be so thankful if anyone would help me to solve the issue,
with regards

Ah, why doesn't SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) or Visual Studio's Server Explorer permit me to set PK/FK constraints on the tables? They're supported in SQL Everywhere (SQL Ev), but I don't see a way to set them up.
Why don't these tools support scripting the database tables to SQL? Is this planned?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?
