Just wondering before I do it, I am in the UK and studying for an mcdba which i require sql server 2000 on my laptop but I'm also doing the sql server 2005 exams aswell at the same time,
Now I know that you can have multiple instances on sql server on one machine but would I be able to have 2000 and 2005 running on the same machine or would it not be advisable
Thanks

You only learn by practicing
I am in the middle of a major migraton project, moving from x86 SQL 2000 to IA64 SQL 2005. I have a business need to link to several legacy servers. I have a number of problems I am trying to solve.
1) Linking a Kerberos server to a non-Kerberos server.
2) Linking x64 or IA64 servers to x86 servers.
3) Linking SQL 2005 to SQL 2000.
Two of the errors I am encountering are:
------------------------------
TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB" returned message "Communication link failure".
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10054)
------------------------------
And
------------------------------
The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for the linked server "SCDC250DB" reported an error. Authentication failed.
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB".
OLE DB provider "SQLCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB" returned message "Invalid authorization specification".
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7399)
If someone has worked through these problems before, I would appreciate it if you could direct me to the relevant documentation to resolve these issues.
Thanks!

These are the steps i plan on taking.
1. sp_help_revlogin gets logins sql 2000
2. Backup from SQL 2000 to SQL 205
3. Change database to 90 mode
4. Change database to check sum and auto stats sync
5. Rebuild Indexes on databases
6. Jobs (i will manually move over)
Anything else i should run after the rebuilds
Thanks
Dear all
I have created linked server object between a sql 2000 and sql 2005 database. i have the latest mdacs installed and all the services enabled on both sides.
But when i try and run a sql statement on the sql 2000 side i get this error:
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (PreLoginHandshake()).]General network error. Check your network documentation.
If i try and run a swl statment on the sql server 2005 side the procedure works.
Has anyone experienced the same problem?Any advice?
Thank you so much for the help.

We have two sql servers using Windows authentication. One is sql 2000 the other sql 2005. When logged in as "sa", I can link these servers and run a SELECT distributed query without any problem.
But when one of our developers runs the same query (he is "dbo" of each database on each of the servers) he gets the error:
"OLE DB Provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server <Servername> returned message "Communication Link Failure"
...
Login failed for user '(null'). reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection"
Despite that, I, as "sa" equivalent, have no problem so it appears to be a permisisons issue. Any ideas what is going on here?
TIA,

Hello,
I was wondering whether it is possible to query linked servers in SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 if those servers linked to are SQL Server 2000 machines?
I have added some linked servers to express and queried them, however the login timeout is expiring. I thought it might be because of an incompatability.
Cheers,
Damien.

I'm working with SQL Server 2000 installed in Windows 2000. When i tried to add the 'servername' as a linked server , i got the following message:
" Error: 15038. The Server 'servername' already exists."
When i execute "sp_linkedservers" , i could see the name "servername" in the list. But before doing this i had Restored the "MSDB" database on this server. Should i use "sp_droplinkedservers" and add them again.
Any comments are most welcome.
Thanks, Santha.
I had a website that ran with one server that had SQL 2000 as the DB. I have upgraded to two webservers with MS SQL 2000 on both machines and a load balancer in front of the two servers to handle sending requests to the server with the least load.
My problem is, I am not sure how to start to work my second server with the MS SQL. I need to make sure both DB's are exact duplicates of each other so if a user hits one server they are pulling up the same info as another user hits the other server.
I have a lot of queries running on the ASP pages I use, several pages use search forms for many various processes, and I have several pages that are for users to input information that is to be stored and sent out via email to all the other members.
Not by any means am I a SQL guru of any kind, I am lucky I know what it is
So, can anyone point me in the right direction as to what I should look for or into to work the best possible process to keep these DB's mirrored?
Now these servers are on their own private network using a second NIC card, I did this so the SQL can talk between the servers without using the public network bandwidth.
How do I keep these SQL DB's duplicated?
What are some great suggestions?
Have you done this before? if so, what has worked best for you? Is it hard to do for someone with limited DB experience? (I learn really quick if I know what I need to learn)
At this point I am confused as to what the best practice would be. Help?
HelloI have 2 locations, that each has an MSSQL 2000 server.Since the locations are to far from each other and the connection isvery slow.My thought was to have a database on both servers that should replicate“on the fly” or as asynchronous sync.The problem is that both locations work in the database frequently. Soit’s very important that there are no duplicate IDs.Is that possibly and how?~Peter

Hi
I have 4 Servers registered in my system in SQL SERVER 2000.
How to get those list of servers.
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.
Regards,
Sankar N
We shall be taking a bunch of 7.0 instances and moving/upgrading to a SQL 2000 cluster server. I was thinking of creating new named instances on the 2000 cluster and upgrading each 7.0 server to it's respective named instance. Also thought of using the 2000 copy database wizard; I was told this didn't always work. Anyone hear of problems with this?
Thanks
I know this is an easy one for most of you but this is new territory for me.
I am trying to link a production application database to an existing SMS database.
Both of these databases are SQL 2000. I have sa access to both of them.
I have an accreditation application that deals with internal processes within our active directory network. We are using SMS database collections to provide the discovery for reporting of this application database and I want to compare the collection to the existing data between the 2 databases.
For simplicity I will define them both.
Application Database we will call €œA-Database€?
SMS Database we will call €œB-Database€?
I have gone into the A-Database and gone to linked Servers under the security node in enterprise manager. I created a new linked database and selected the SQL Server option in the general Tab.
In the Security Tab I selected the €œBe made using the security context€? and used €œsa€? for the Remote login and the CORRECT sa password for the With password option.
The server options tab remain the same with €?RPC, RPC Out, & Use Remote Collation€? selected.
It appears to connect but there is not any Table or Views showing up. What am I doing wrong here and what do I need to do to link these 2 database engines so I can move forward?
Thanks,

I been away fromm SQL administration for three years, back then I used sqlteam.com as a valuable resource. My question has to do with SQL 2005. Can the new version of SQL 2005 share an instance of a database (for example an instance in a SAN drive)with more then one SQL server.

Hi,
I have 2 database servers and each has same database.Program that inserts these databases randomly selects one of them to insert data.So only difference is data.
I have to generate some report using these 2 sources.System administrators reject integrating these 2 servers into one.
My question is , I want to run a query that looks the column x in table y and finds unique records in this table.But this works just in one DB.What do you recommend me to find solution that finds real unique records, i.e. looks both servers to find records.
Is there a Microsoft product that may be configured brain of different DB Servers or any other solution?
I have also memory restrictions and data is considered as more than 100 GBytes for each server.
Answers will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
I have a clustered environment where I have virtual servers running and I have SQL 2005 on one of the virtual servers. Is there any way to have multiple SQL instances running on one virtual server, if so how? If this is not possible than what are some of my options?

Hi,
I have:
- SQL 2005 Dev on machine A
- SQL 2005 Dev on machine B
I've made a linked server from A to B using:
- Windows authentication
- SQL Server authentication
However, I ran into the following "problems":
- When creating a linked server from A to B, when I do a "new linked server" I have to give it the same name as machine B.
- Therefore, I can only make one linked server to B (not f.ex. make two, one Windows authentication and one SQL Server authentication).
Is it only possable to make one linked server to a machine running SQL Server 2005?
Thank you.
Currently we have a single SQL server. It went down and the higher ups were none to happy. Lots of money lost, down time, unhappy customers....the whole nine yards. They want to throw all sorts of money at the problem and want a solution that is high availability and provides load balancing. I think I came up with a solution.
3x Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition servers running SQL 2005 Standard in a cluster all connected to a SAN.
I'm guessing I need to set up Network Load Balancing in order to load balance the SQL database. What we would love to have happen is if one of the servers goes down, everything else just picks up. That coupled with our database that is increasing in size and transactions gets load balanced.
Am I going down the right path? Something else I should look at? Or that I am missing?
Thanks!
I am having trouble finding any documentation on how linked servers are set-up under SQL 2005 for log-shipping and replication. Under SQL 2000, the only linked servers "visible" were ones that were user-defined. Under SQL 2005, it seems when you set-up log-shipping or replication, you get these new linked servers which are automatically defined. I would like to understand them and in particular, how security is maintained. We recently had a production issue where after some problem with a server which resulted in having to restart SQL Server, and shrink msdb, log-shipping started to fail authentication when trying to run alert jobs. Only after rebooting the server, and also the log-ship target server, and waiting 9 hours, did the authentication correct itself. I would like to know how it resolved itself and what took so long?

Hi, i´m new to SQL SERVER, I've been using Oracle and MySql without problems so far.
I'm having problems to connect to SQL SERVER on my local machine.
**UPDATE
I can connect via command line, but from Visual Studio can´t connect to SQL SERVER
Sometimes I got this error:
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
And sometimes something about enabling remote connections in SQL SERVER , but the server is in the local machine.
what´s suppose to be the name of my server? localhost?
what am I doing wrong, ?
I have no problems to connect to Oracle and mysql with Visual Studio.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I am trying to setup up a linked server in our test environment that allows Server A to run a stored procedure that writes to server B. However, I am receiving the following errors when attempting to make the connection and execute the stored procedure.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "TEST2" returned message "Invalid authorization specification".
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Procedure Test_SP, Line 230
The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "TEST2" reported an error. Authentication failed.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Procedure Test_SP, Line 230
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "TEST2".
I've created a user (linkuser) that has db_reader/db_writer access to the destination box. I'm using SQL Server under the Server type on the General Tab. I've added the user(linkuser) as the local login to impersonate on the destination box. However, the stored procedure is still erroring. Any Suggestions?
Thanks,

Hi,
I need to find out whether SQL Server client components are installed on a machine through my application.
For that I was expecting "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90" registry key. BUT If I install just native client drivers, this key is not getting created.
What could be another approch to determine whether system has required client components.
Also I need to list all the SQL Server 2005 servers available in the network. (Similar to the Servers combo box being populated while DSN creation in ODBC Admin tool). There are several approches.
1) Use NetServerEnum API
2) Use SQLBrowseConnect ODBC API
3) Use SQLDMO Object
4) OSQL utility.
Which one I should use VC++ (2005)?
Thanks in advance,

I have been trying to figure out for some time why Linked Servers do not continue to run. I start up my SQL Server Database service, and then using SQL Server Management Studio I create one or more linked servers to Microsoft Access Databases using the Jet Provider. I then run some queries to that access those linked servers without any problems. (One currently is called 'THE')
After some time has passed, possibly minutes, hours or days, I can no longer access any of the linked servers. No data, queries, tables, or anything is accessible to me anymore. I use this command "EXEC sp_testlinkedserver N'THE' " to test the linked server and get the following error msg.
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "THE" returned message "Unspecified error".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_testlinkedserver, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "THE".
The only solution I have to fix this currently is to restart the SQL Server Database service. I have tried deleting and recreating the Linked server before doing this to no avail. I have also used the FileMon and RegMon tools on the server to try to determine the problem but have no no success. After restarting the SQL service I can run the "EXEC sp_testlinkedserver N'THE' " command successfully "Command(s) completed successfully." and can access the linked servers again without any problems.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
Mark.
P.S. I have tried changing the security options on the linked server from "Be made without a context." to using the "Admin" username and leaving the password blank, to several other possible variations and options, as well as setting up the system.mdw database in the registry to no avail.
Is the any issues running SQL 2005 Reporting Services on Load balanced web servers?

We have 1 machine running SQL Server 2005 x64 (64 bit). The other machine is backing this SQL Server up. It is a 32-bit machine, so it requires (?) a 32-bit version of SQL Server 2005.
Would this back-up machine work correctly on a database previously managed by a 64-bit machine and vice versa.
Thank you!
