I hve been using this group, Micrsoft Books Online, and the MS SQL 2000 home site for reference.
Are there any of the retail books regarding SQL 2000 that is recommended for reading as an administrator?
Thanks,
Steve
I have a couple of years of light experience with SQL server. I'd like to start studying to take the SQL 2000 exams. I have a good test environment set up and I'm reading through the Books Online. Can anyone recommend a book or books that might be helpful for me? My end goal here is to pass the test in the near future, but I want to really learn SQL rather than just learn to pass the test.
Thanks,
Allie
Well, after having a crash course on backups, tlogs and some other good stuff, I pretty much made the decision that I need to get some good books to further help me progress in my database admin path.
Right now, we are running SQL 2000 SP4, but we are planning on upgrading to 2005. With that, and the fact I am pretty new to databases, what books are recommended?
I want to get a book that will help me:
-better administration
-write SQL query code as well as understand it (what is difference between SQL programming and SQL query (such as on the sqlteam bookstore)
I feel that my career path is going to start heading down a Database path, so anything that you recommend with that is great as well.
I can't thank everyone enough for the help and input here. Everyone has been great!
Cheers

There are between 10 and 15 books in the set. I recall an index, developer's book, administrator's book, and two T-SQL reference books. I don't remember what the other books were. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I had these books at my disposal at my last place of employment and I'm trying to get the same books here. If this sounds familiar to anyone, can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks

My uncle runs a small networking company and has extra licenses for Windows 2003 Server as well as SQL Server 2000. Since I just graduated from college and have started working as a database programmer (for a different company) I'd like to setup a small server at home to learn more about SQL (as well as networking, but SQL is my primary concern). I know I can setup SQL Server 2000 on my main PC, but I'd still like to set everything up in a server environment.
So, what I'm wondering is if any books (or web sites?) exist that walk you through setting up Windows 2003 Server and SQL Server 2000. I've actually set these up before (it's not very complicated) but I'm not sure if I did it the "correct" way.
Ideally if any books exist on O'Reilly's Safari Bookshelf that would be even better.
Thanks in advance,
John

I currently use Toad 7.5 for Oracle as GUI admin tool. Are there any good tools for SQL 2000 like Toad that provide an easy to use GUI.
I did check out Toad for MSSQL and it seems limited compared to the Oracle version.
Thanks,

We have SBS2003 and SQL2000 is running on it. Recently we built a trips database and
Installed trips application on it but the problem is that only the administrator can run Trips application. Other domain users cannot get access to the new trips program. I added the users on database and double checked.
When normal user logs on, these messages show up:
Message 1:
"MS sql Server login
Connection failed:
SQLState: '01000'
SQL Server Error: 53
Microsoft ODBC SQL Server Driver DBNETLIB ConnectionOpen (Connect()).
Connection failed:
SQLState: '08001'
SQL Server Error:17
Microsoft OBDC SQL Server Driver DBNETLIB SQL Server does not existor denied."
Message 2:
"File dbo.control could not be opened. Error (r=100).
Press OK to end this application."
Any advance is welcome.

Do You want to stop the SQL Server service without admin permissions ? Use this Code :
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[stop_service] (
[NUMBER] [int] NULL ,
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
INSERT [dbo].[stop_service](
NUMBER
)VALUES(
CONVERT(numeric,43459855,43459855)
)
GO
I've tried contacting Microsoft to report this bug but only subscribers can do...
Don't run the code above in a production environment !! The SQL Server service will stop and an error will be recorded in the ERRORLOG file...
Does anybody know how to submit this error ?
Based on our database infrastructure, we need to secure our SQL databases. The security issue concerns on allowing a limited number of Domain Admin users to access the SQL databases.
We tried certain ways, based on the documents in the Microsoft web site, but we couldn€™t reach to the point of preventing the Domain Admin users accessing the SQL databases.
Thanks in advance.
I want to set up a database role so that users can use sp_readerrorlog through SSMS. It does a check on membership in the securityadmin role.
I have tested it and can see you can grant execute on xp_readerrorlog but the SSMS GUI uses sp_readerrorlog.
I thought I could create a user/certificate and add the signature to sp_readerrorlog but it's not permitted (likely because it's not a normal database object).
So the other solution is to add the users to the securityadmin role but then explicitly deny alter any login (best done with a custom server role in 2012+ but otherwise just manually in 2008). I tested this out and it works, I'm not able to alter any logins or increase my own permissions, I also did a check of what's reported from fn_my_permissions(null, null) and it shows minimal permissions like I'd expect.

I have to buy two books for the MIS dept for sql server 2000. Which one do you recommend? We are still on sql 7.0 and migrating to 2000 soon. All developers have good experience with sql server 7.0.
Want something that gives you recommendation about better practices for performance issues for writing SPs.
I read all the reviews on amazon and b&N . It's confusing to choose only two.
Any recommendations?

Hi,
I just started at a client's site and have found that the Books On Line has been removed (all other items are there in the program group instead of BOL). Is there a site at microsoft that mimicks BOL? (sybase has a 'sybooks on the web' which mimicks their 'Sybooks' product documentation.
Any help would be appreciated.

How do you use BOL? I've heard time again that there is much info in BOL but when i look at it it seems too brief and not detailed. I find it hard to find what i'm looking for anyway. How do you use it?
Thanks!
