I need any information on whether its possible to create more than 16 instances of SQL Server 2000. I know Microsoft says they don't support over 16 but what are the downfalls of doing this? How many could possibly be put on one server?
View 1 RepliesI had a server with SQL Server 7.0
I installed a named instance of SQL Server 2000 and then i passed all my DB
of the 7.0 instance to the 2000 instance.
Then i removed the 7.0 instance, that was the default instance.
So at the moment there is only the 2000 version, but it isn't the default
instance
Can the 2000 instance become the default instance? (So that clients can
connect to it simply through computer name, and not creating an alias)
thanks

Hi,
We have a new failover cluster (Windows 2003 SP1, Microsoft SQL 2000 SP4) with each node of the cluster hosting 7 SQL Server instances in a 2-node active-active configuration connected to a SAN. We are planning to move some SQL Server Instances(from existing stand-alone servers) into this Cluster. Any insight into the process of moving SQL Servers into the cluster would be highly appreciated.
Best Regards,

How to get the list of instance of SQL Server 7.0/2000 running on the local machine inside my domain...
I need to prepare the list of all sql instances.. pls help if possible to find details using sql query.
I have the following problem;
I fully understand that to connect to a named instance of SQL Server you need to use the ServerNameSQLInstanceName. The problem I have is that I have a SQL Server in a different zone. I can connect to the Default instance by IP Address or the ServerName.zone.domain.org. (e.g. MySQLServer.zone1.mydomain.org).
However, the same thing does not work for the Named Instance. It seems to be named instance or nothing.
How can I connect to this named instance across network zones?:S
We are having all kinds of issues with named instances for SQL 2000.
I am trying to connect to a SQL Server 2000 named instance on a different subnet and get an error. I cannot connect with ODBC or our web app.
I am using the port number for the alias that I created in the SQL Client Utility. We can connect to default instances without a problem, but not the named instances.
The SQL Server is 2000 build 2040 (Service pack 4 with a hot fix.) The server is listening on port 1223. In the ODBC connection I click on the Network Config and create an alias with the named instance such as SQLVSNSQLNI and specify port 1223. I have also tried adding the port to the connection string in the ASP include file (SQLVSNSQLNI,1223). If I do the same thing with a default instance on the network, both the app and ODBC work fine. It is only when I use a named instance.
Very frustrated. Thanks for any help you can provide
We're moving several Version 7 databases to a SQL Server
2000 box.
How can I grant SQL Server 2000 security for three
"Named Instances"?
Thanks

Hi all,I just asked some people to help me out and phone microsoft with thefollowing information, kindly they refused unless we setup a supportcontract with them first, for pre-sales information. (That really doesnot sound like good business sense to me - anyway here is our problem,if anyone could help thanks)."To tell and ask microsoft:We will be setting up a microsoft sql server 2000 instance running on awindows 2003 server.1) We need to check this can run alongside a microsoft 2003 sql server(either workgroup or standard edition), on the same machine. Are thereany .dll clashes if we do this? If there are can we run SQL Server2000, in a virtual machine running windows 2000 professional. (I have alicenced copy we can use for this).2) If we run one instance of 2000, and one of 2003 of the sql servers,can one use the processor licence model, and one use the CAL licencemodel."Thanks for any help, and any idea why they actually force you to usenews groups for pre-sales information?David
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am working on a site's SQL Server 2000 database on a W2k3 machine . I went into Enterprise Manager and saw that their database resides on a named instance. I did not see the default instance listed so I registered that using windows authentication. I noticed that the default instance had a user database that had the same name as the user database on the named instance that I was to work on. I looked at the properties of the databases and saw that on both the default and named instances of SQL Server that the Data Files and Log Files for the user database point to the same location.
Is this a problem? Can anyone see any issues with this? Does this mean that someone can simply connect to the named or the default instance of the SQL Server and connect to the same database?

Hi,
We have (after several weeks of testing in all kind of environments) send out a new version of our application to several of our customers. Within days problems where drippin in; After looking for the problem on various customer situations we found a problem which I think is rather disturbing and very odd. I'll describe the situation, on which we finally managed to recreate the problem, here.
In my problem I use the following configuration:
Windows 2003 (standard edition) AD network with 2 domain controllers, multiple Windows XP workstations, some without SQL instances, some with SQL 2000 instances, some with SQL 2005 instances and even one with SQL 7 running.
All run a 32 bit OS.
Tools to reproduce:
ListSQLSvr application (found on SQLDev.net) to enumerate the instances.
Problem description:
--------------------------------------------------
I am running the machine called DEV001, which has SQL 2000 (instancename DRUMIS) and SQL 7.0 (has no instancename so this is the root instance) installed.
In any 'normal' situation all the runnings SQL instances are visible on the network like this:
Code Block
C:>listsqlsvr -X
(local);Clustered:No;Version:7.00.623
ADM002DRUMIS;Clustered:No;Version:8.00.194
DEV001DRUMIS
DEV001DRUMIS;Clustered:No;Version:8.00.194
DEV002DRUMIS;Clustered:No;Version:8.00.194

INSADOFFICEWSUS;Clustered:No;Version:8.00.194
SUP001DRUMIS;Clustered:No;Version:8.00.194
When I turn the SQL 2005 Browser service off on the machine called DEV002 the list looks like:
Code Block
C:>listsqlsvr -X
(local);Clustered:No;Version:7.00.623
ADM002DRUMIS;Clustered:No;Version:8.00.194
DEV001DRUMIS;Clustered:No;Version:8.00.194
DEV001DRUMIS
DEV002
DEV002EXPRESS
DEV004DRUMIS;Clustered:No;Version:9.00.3042.00
INSADBACKOFFICEDRUMIS;Clustered:No;Version:8.00.194
INSADBACKOFFICEEXACT;Clustered:No;Version:9.00.3042.00
INSADOFFICEWSUS;Clustered:No;Version:8.00.194
SUP001DRUMIS;Clustered:No;Version:8.00.194
Notice that the browser service might be off on DEV002, you can still see the EXPRESS instance and a new root instance has appeared (though it doesn't exist!)??
After restarting the Browser service all is OK again.
When I turn on Hide Server in the SQL 2000 TCP/IP properties (or turn it on in the registry [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerDRUMISMSSQLServerSuperSocketNetLibTcp] "TcpHideFlag"=dword:00000001) on the DEV002 computer something real scary is happening..
The list looks as follows:
Code Block
C:listsqlsvr -X
(local)
ADM002
DEV001
DEV002
DEV004
INSADBACKOFFICE
INSADOFFICE
SUP001
When someone has entered a database (for example the backoffice database on INSADBACKOFFICEEXACT) the list looks as follows (for a short moment; 5 secs or so):
Code Block
C:listsqlsvr -X
(local)
ADM002
DEV001
DEV002
DEV004
INSADBACKOFFICEDEVELOP;Clustered:No;Version:8.00.194

Notice now that ALL instances are gone and no extended information is available. In the Query Analyser and in the SQL Management Studio when browsing you'll see this as well!
When someone is accessing a database instance it appears for a few seconds again.
Since our installation and applications rely on selecting a existing instance it will fail in the above situations (or at least not showing all available instances).
In my opinion this is a bug somewhere!
Note that even when the SQL Services are stopped on DEV002 (leaving the Browser service running) it still seems to block out ALL instance on the ENTIRE network!
I don't mind that one INSTANCE or even the entire MACHINE is hidden from the network, but ALL instances on ALL machines??
And the SQL Browser issue also worries me a bit since it does not stop the possibily to browse the SQL instances; it removes the SQL2000 instances but adds a root instance which doesn't even exist! Also the extended info is stripped.
Can anyone help me solve this/advise?
Also mind that in any situation there might run a lot of computers with a lot of SQL instances and I cannot tell our customers to find which machine has the SQL TCP/IP properties set to Hide...
It even seems that in some situations SBS 2003 does the hiding automatically on Install? And if so, when and why?

We are planning to upgrade vom SQL 6.5 to SQL 2000 and SMS 1.2 to SMS 2.0. We want to first migrate SMS 1.2 to 2.0 with the SQL 6.5 database. Afterwards we want to install SQL 2000 as a second instance on the sql 6.5 server and migrate from there our databases. Is this the best way to do this? Does anybody have experience with running two instances of different SQL-Versions on one server? and what kind of trouble can I expect to run into?
Any tips & tricks are welcome

We have an x86 sql 2000 server with 4GB of RAM, a quadcore Xeon, a RAID 5 drive C, and its utilization is generally low. Typical perfmon counters: CPU < 5%; available Mbytes, 1800; typical disk time 5-10 %; Committed bytes in use < 25%, pagessec near 0.0.
For various reasons I need to install a sql 2005 instance on the same box and both instances will be up and running at the same time.
How, using Perfmon (?), can I determine the max amount of memory to assign to each instance? (It is my understanding that I definitiely need to limit the amount of RAM used by each instance.)
TIA,

I need to put sql server 2000 enterprise and sql server 7 on the same box. For multiple instancing is it better to run with Win 2k Pro Server or Advanced Server. Please Elaborate.

Hi,From a previous sys-admin I inherited a a MS-SQL (2000) machine with 3instances. It is a nice machine with 4 Gb of memory but the memory allocationis very weird:Instance A: 1400MbInstance B: 1000MbInstance C: 80Mb (!)Instance C is performing badly under a bit of pressure which seems not strangeconsidering these allocations.With that in mind, is there a way to check and re-allocate memory? I'd like tosee if the instances really need these amounts of memory and if not, to movesome over to other instances.Thanks!Dries Bessels

I am trying to install SQL2K5 on my machine where I already have SQL2K installed.
The best I have managed to achieve is to get SQL2K5 EM looking at my SQL2K databases.
Do I need to uninstall SQL2K before installing SQL2K?
Depending on what combo of SQL I have installed my options on SQL2K install vary.
I am a bit lost at this point.
Anyone know a link to a good white paper type doc that guides me through an install on the same machine.
Thanks In Advance

We currently have multiple instances of MS Sql 2000 and MS SQL 2005 installed on servers. When at other locations that uses different subnets only the default instance is available, published, broadcasted, selectable.
We have TCPIP and name pipes enabled for all instances. This seems to be a common problem for all locations.
Can the SQL 2005 install upgrade from SQL 2000 handle multiple instances?

Dear SQL Guru,I just found out this morning that my SQL Server box had been added 1more instance. Below is the example:PPAPP0075FINANCE (Old instance)PPAPP0075ACCOUNTING (Old instance)PPAPP0075Accounting (new instance)This is a case sensitive MS Sql server (third party vendor App). TheACCOUNTING instance is the one we have been using for our currentapplications. I found out the new one(Accounting) when I scan thenetwork by using OSQL -L utility. However, when NT engineers tried toverify the physical files location ofAccounting, and it did not exist. When I tried to register it and itdoes not appear from Enterprise Manager.Please keep in mind NT Engineers have been monkey around on this serverquite a lot in last a few weeks, especially modifying Registry keys.My question is, where did PPAPP0075Acounting come from? We never evertried to install any more instance on this server.Please help,Thanks,Silaphet,

I already have a copy of SQL SERVER 2000 installed on my current local machine.
How is it possible that I create another second instance for example TEST/silkkeng in SQL Server Enterprise Manager? OR SQL query ?
Is it possible ? Or the only solution is ReInstall SQL to create another instances?
Hi, I've got an application which uses the DBFactory Provider to enumerate a list of available SQL instances on the local network.
I've just reformatted though and put everything back on, and my application will now see the sql server instances on the network, but not the instances on the local computer (only the server name), eg, it will see "BENSQLEXPRESS" on a computer (BEN) on the local network, and give the version info, etc, but it only sees "DAN" instead of "DANPCP" and "DANSQLEXPRESS" on the local computer (DAN).

I am playing around in a test environment with SQL Server 2014. I have a question about the default location of the report server databases when you have multiple report server instances installed on one server.
I did a very simple install of SQL Server 2014 with the database and Reporting Services in Native Mode (install only) features selected. Accepting the default locations, I ended up with the following locations as you would expect:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL12.MSSQLSERVER
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSRS12.MSSQLSERVER
Running the Reporting Services Configuration Manager, I created the Report Server database. After creating the Report Server database, the related files will be located below in the SQL folder as I would expect.
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL12.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLDATA
Next I installed another instance, which I called Test, of SQL Server 2014 like I did above. I now have the following folder structure the Test instance as I expect.
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL12.TEST
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSRS12.TEST
Running the Reporting Services Configuration Manager, I select the Test instance and create the Report Server Test instance database.
My first thought would be that the Test instance Report Server database would be in the following location:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL12.TESTMSSQLDATA
Instead this database is located with the default instance Report Server database:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL12.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLDATA
