Here is the scenario:
We have an existing production non clustered SQL 2000 server instance that we need to migrate to a new clustered SQL 2000 server instance. We need to accomplish this without affecting the FQDN that applications use to call this server. I found this article on a solution to rename the server after an xcopy of the entire db structure. Here is the link http://vyaskn.tripod.com/moving_sql_server.htm. The other issue that we are trying to resolve is the time it takes for the snapshots of replication to run (in our case almost a full day). That is why this approach looked like it may be a good solution for us.
Here is the question:
Is it possible to move our existing database to a new clustered environment without having to change the FQDN that other applications use to access this database and without having to reinitialize replication?

Can SQL Server 7.0 be installed on a laptop as a stand-alone run-time application (using a VB front-end application)? Is it necessary to use MS Access as a gateway, or can SQL Server 7.0 really stand on its own?
Hello everybody . I have 40 GB db running mostly transaction processing. I set up 1. back full backup 2 times a day (takes 30 -40 min) 2. log backup every 15 min 3. custom log shipping 4. We don't won't use Cluster.
Once in while becouse of nethwork, or other problem log shipping fails, so I have to restart log shipping all over starting from restore in stand by mode last full back of my db.IT takes 2-3 hrs just to do this restore !!!
1. So I am asking advice is any way I do restore in less time ? 2. Should diffrential backup be taken ? 3. We will not use Custer
HI!I have a little problem:I have change the administrator password (Windows 2003 Server) which MSSQL 2000 use to login.And now the SQL server can't stand up.What should I do?thx!gicio--Posted via http://dbforums.com
I just start my job as sql server DBA. We have disaster recovery plan. We implement Log shipping . My question after the server failiure, when production server up again ,how to point stand by server to production server?, any help will be appreciated.
We have a table, which has one clustered index and one non clustered index(primary key). I want to drop the existing clustered index and make the primary key as clustered. Is there any easy way to do that. Will Drop_Existing support on this matter?
I have a requirement to only rebuild the Clustered Indexes in the table ignoring the non clustered indexes as those are taken care of by the Clustered indexes.
In order to do that, I have taken the records based on the fragmentation %.
But unable to come up with a logic to only consider rebuilding the clustered indexes in the table.
Hello, My company Intranet has a form that agents can use to post their comments about the company to upper management, but our customer service department would like to modify the form so that the agent has to pick from a comment type. The dropdown options on the form will be as follows: ComplimentsComplaintsGeneral CommentsSuggestions Each dropdown option has a designated table in a SQL DB.Using postback on the same page, I need to change which fields of the form are visible based upon which dropdown selection the user chooses, and I need the fields to then be inserted into the table that corresponds with the dropdown selection item. For example: If the Compliments dropdown selection is picked, I need a text box to show for the user's location, the name of the customer, account number, and the message box. Once the submit button is clicked, the characters in these boxes need to be inserted into the Compliments table using its data adapter. However, if the user selects Suggestions, the name of the customer and the account number should not be visible, since these fields do not exist and when the submit button is pressed, the Suggestions table should be updated. If you need more information, I will provide whatever is needed. As always, thanks for everyone's assistance. Chris
We are going to use SQL Sever change tracking. The problem is that some of our tables, which are to be tracked, have no primary keys. There are only unique clustered indexes. The question is what is the best way to turn on change tracking for these tables in our circumstances.
I desire to have a clustered index on a column other than the Primary Key. I have a few junction tables that I may want to alter, create table, or ...
I have practiced with an example table that is not really a junction table. It is just a table I decided to use for practice. When I execute the script, it seems to do everything I expect. For instance, there are not any constraints but there are indexes. The PK is the correct column.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblNotificationMgr]( [NotificationMgrKey] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [ContactKey] [int] NOT NULL, [EventTypeEnum] [tinyint] NOT NULL,
I have created two tables. table one has the following fields,
Id -> unique clustered index. table two has the following fields, Tid -> unique clustered index Id -> foreign key of table one(id).
Now I have created primary key for the table one column 'id'. It's created as "nonclustered, unique, primary key located on PRIMARY". Primary key create clustered index default. since unique clustered index existed in table one, it has created "Nonclustered primary key".
My Question is, What is the difference between "clustered, unique, primary key" and "nonclustered, unique, primary key"? Is there any performance impact between these?
Hi there, I have a table that has an IDENTITY column and it is the PK of this table. By default SQL Server creates a unique clustered index on the PK, but this isn't what I wanted. I want to make a regular unique index on the column so I can make a clustered index on a different column.
If I try to uncheck the Clustered index option in EM I get a dialog that says "Cannot convert a clustered index to a nonclustered index using the DROP_EXISTING option.". If I simply try to delete the index I get the following "An explicit DROP INDEX is not allowed on index 'index name'. It is being used for PRIMARY KEY constraint enforcement.
So do I have to drop the PK constraint now? How does that affect all the tables that have FK relationships to this table?
I have a really super slow stored proc that does something simple. it updates a table if certain values are received.
In looking at this the matching is done on the Primary Key, which is set as a Clustered index, looking further I have another constraint, that sets the same column to a Unique, Non-Clustered.
I am not sure why this was done, but it seems to be counter productive. I have read only references to Which one is better on a primary key, but not can their be both and if it is "Smart".
I've a table with primary key defined as non-clusterd, now without dropping it can I modify the existing index to clustered through tsql as I had to write some migration script and in that script I wanna do this.
Hi, I got a problem. I installed Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 version. And I created a Compact database. I created an connection in SSMSE to connect the database and opened a query form. then, i run the following sql:
Select * from Table1
It returned 3 records to me. After that, I used program to insert record into this table. Then i ran this sql again, it still show me 3 records. I closed the query form, and re-created a new query form, then run the sql, it returned 4 records to me.
Why? It's very strange and difficult to operate, right? Is there anyone know how to make the SSMSE to return whole records without any close query form and re-create query form operation?
Hi everyone, What is the main difference between first form normalizations and second form normalization ? In my opinion, they are both generated for the same operation which is to prevent redundancy(in other words; duplication of data in several records). So would you please explain it to me ?
Hello all, I have an application in which the database is currently in MySQL. The app is being re-written(in .net 3.5) and I would like to move the data to SQL Server 2005. What is the best may to get the data from MySQL to SQL Server. Any good tools out there? Idealy, I would be able to manipulate the data during the move, as I have plans for some schema changes, but I suppose I could always make them after migrating. Please suggest any tools or methods, with your thoughts. I will evaluate any suggested tools. Also, SSIS is available for me, is that the best way?
I have right clicked on my DTS package and selected Migrate... Iassumed this is a good idea for future upgradeability (?) The processworked without error but I have no idea where the resulting migratedpackage can be found. The DTS package itself (apparently) remainsunchanged.If your answer is that an SSIS package has been created, please tell meexactly where I can find it.I've looked at SQL Server Business Intelligence Studio (where do theyget these names from?) and have not been able to find SSIS (or anythingelse useful, actually).
When I try to import from Access, the DTS wizard only allows me toimport tables and queries. OK, I'm not surprised the "macros" andreports don't come over.But it executes each query, and created a _table_ to hold the results.The sensible thing would be that SELECT queries become viewsand the others become stored procedures. But I find no waycontrols I can select to do that.I have to manually create the views/procedures and paste in the SQL.And then I still have to translate it into standard SQL.--Wes GroleauBeware of the man who works hard to learn something, learnsit, and finds himself no wiser than before ...

We have a need to migrate some DB2 servers to SQL Server 2005. Unfortunately, the SSMA for DB2 is still not out. Can anyone please tell me on what are the things to consider with regards to DB2 to SQL 2005 migration? It would help if you can point me to some whitepapers or tools ir maybe even some samples or instructions regarding the migration. Thanks!
Newbie to SQL CE 2005. We have an SDF database file with a whole bunch of tables and data. We have to port the SDF to SQL Server 2005 database. The SQL Server DB is empty has no knowledge of the SDF tables/schema. How do I go about to get the SDF schema/tables migrated to SQL Server DB and then also transfer the data.
I would like to find information on Clustered and Non-clustered indexes and how B-trees are used. I know a clustered index is placed into a b-tree which makes sense for fast ordered searching. What data structure does a non-clustered index use and how? I tried to find info. on the web but couldn't get much detail...
I have a table<table1> with 804668 records primary on table1(col1,col2,col3,col4)
Have created non-clustered index on <table1>(col2,col3,col4),to solve a performance issue.(which is a join involving another table with 1.2 million records).Seems to be working great.
I want to know whether this will slow down,insert and update on the <table1>?
