Can anyone tell me if SQL 2000 has a record limitation on tables?
The table that I have is very basic. It contains 6 columns, none of which can contain more than 10 characters, but I'm already sitting at 2,500,000 records and expecting up to 20-30 million records. Can it handle it?
Although unsupported / undocumented, using FN_DBLOG(..) is inevitable.
While retrieving [RowLog Contents 0]/ [Log Record] transaction log information I encounter a possible limitation regarding the size of the fetched data. There is a suspect that data exceeding 8000 bytes is truncated.
I do not manage to get more than 8000 bytes - neither at the Studio Management Query pane nor with a programmatic ODBC piece of code. There is more data for sure - no doubt about that!!
I installed SQL Server 2000 Develloper version and I am wondering what are the limitation of this version compare to the other versions available? Like how many connections can I have open at the same time? Can I use it for my intranet application? etc... Thanks
SQL 2000 std installed SP4 - cannot open SQL on server - error could not redo log record - model database. cannot load enterprise manager or query analyzer to try and resolve error.
have tried to repair sql by loading 2000 cdrom but only asks if you wish to repair registry hive - have done so and rebooted server - still cannot open SQL
I'm new to SQL so don't laugh if this is easy to spot but I'm having trouble with a select statement but I do not think it's the syntax etc, I'm convinced it must be due to some restrictions and limitations within SQL.
Could anyone shed some light? I've been 'googling' for two days now and can't find anything, much appreciated! thanks.

I've spaced out the query so it's easy to read
I've started the query from scratch building my SQL adding one field at a time and it works perfect until it reaches a certain number of fields, it's as if SQL has a limit to no of fields it can return/be used in the select part of the statement. Are there any limitations I should know about? or am I being an idiot and doing something I shouldn't?
What are the limitations of the SQL 2005 Express Management Studio tools, as opposed to the full blown 2k5 Tools (i'm not referring to the Server, just the tools). I ask because the install for the 2005 Management Studio Tools alone is 878 megs.
I've been using CE 3.1 in a .NET/C# application. My knowledge of database technology is very basic, and I'm wondering how far I can take my application with CE, given its limitations, which I stumbled across when I read the following about VistaDB: http://www.vistadb.net/compare_sql_compact.asp
For right now, my application uses a CE database as a fancy log file. There are only two tables in the database -- one to hold the log information, and one to hold information about different "runs" of my application. The only time a row is ever updated is when a row in the latter table is updated (once) to indicate that that "run" has completed. Other than that, I only add and delete rows.
Right now, two different processes on the same CPU (the same CPU as the database) write rows to the database during a run of my application. They do this by accessing a singleton object, hosted in a Windows service, via .NET remoting. One of these processes also polls the database continually to read it for display purposes.
So. My questions are:
I can live with the single-user limitation, given my application. But what exactly is it about using CE that limits me to a single user? I never actually specify user information, as far as I know. Am I missing it?
Can I assume that the "single CPU supported" limitation simply means that it only runs on a 32-bit Windows machine, and that it has nothing to do with multiple databases running on different CPUs at runtime?
Why is it that the two processes in my application seem to be able to connect to my database concurrently, when this is apparently a limitation? As I said, my knowledge of this technology is quite elemental. Forgive me. But I figure I'm in the right place to change that. :-)
I am receiving an error message while using the System.Transactions.TransactionScope class. The error message that I am receiving is "Communication with the underlying transaction manager has failed". This error seems to only appear when I have my web application one server, Server1, and my database on a second, Server2. When I run the web app on the same server as the database (i.e., web site and database on Server2), I don't receive this error. So, this leads me to believe this has something to do with MS DTC. Is there a limit to how much data MS DTC can manage for a given transaction? If so, is it configurable? When I run my code, the application fails after a certain number of steps (this is repeatable). See sample code below. When I execute the code below, the error occurs on UpdateBody2();. If I comment out UpdateBody2(), the error will now occur on UpdateBody3();, and so on. This leads me to believe that I have hit some upper limit. My code follows a pattern similar to this:using {TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope()){ UpdateHeader(); UpdateBody1(); UpdateBody2(); UpdateBody3(); UpdateFooter();}Where each of the classes follows a pattern of:UpdateHeader(){ using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection()) { conn.Open(); // Do something conn.Close(); } } Environment:ASP.NET 2.0SQL/2005 StandardWindows Server 2003 Thanks.Steve
I'd like to use MSDE since it's free instead of SQL Server for my database. I will be hosting a portal type site. If all goes well and my site is wildly successful are there any limitations in MSDE that I need to worry about?
For instance, I thought there was a limit to the number of connections. I thought I remember seeing 5 or 50 on the microsoft download site.
If there is a connection limit of say 10, what happens when connection 11 comes in? Does it just wait for a free connection or does it fail?
Is anyone using is as the database on a large portal site? How many users are there in total? How many connected at the same time?
I am under the assumption that it is SQL Server underneath, so I assume the performance and abilities are very good. Is this a fair assumption?
Hi, I was curious if anyone knew if there was a way to get around SQL Express Edition 2005's limitations to support remote connections. If I install SQL Server 2005, will there be a smooth transition between the two on my IIS 5.1 server? My database is extremely simple and only consists of a single table without any complex queries. Idealy, I would like to spend no money since I am a poor collge student doing this as a project. Suggestions?
I updated a varchar field fom 500 length to 800 and now nothing works. Are there limitations to how big a varchar table entry can be and if so what is the alternative?
Hi all there,I'm a newbee to this forum. I've a question, is there any limitationon "IN" clause in select query.for example :"SELECT EMP_ID, EMP_NAME FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE EMP_ID IN('EMP1001','EMP1002','EMP1003', etc, etc, so on)".I've read at some documentation that there is a limitation for Columnsin a table and i.e. we can have only 1024 columns per table, is thistrue?Plz help me !!Thanx in advance.Kind Regards,Harry
I'm thinking about using the FTP task in an integration i am developing, but before i do, i need to get an idea that what i want to do is possible.
With the FTP task could i get a list of directories on the FTP server, and compare the folders with a result set returned from a SQL query. If any of the directories on the FTP site then i want to download each of the relevent directories and there contents to the local machine.
Could someone give me an idea as to if this is possible via the task, or if indeed a script task would be better?
I had a question about the CPU limitations of SQL express. It says limited to 1 CPU but what if I have multiple instaces since the application is a new service and runs in it 'sown memory space how is it limited to 1 CPU? does the service use multiple processors and the queris are binded to one?
With the limitation of 1Gb of ram and 1 CPU for SQL Express, does that mean we cannot load it on a server with multiple CPU's and more ram, or that we can load it and it will only use 1CPU and 1Gb of ram?
As SQL Server XE can run on one PC maximum, does it mean that it can't support multi users??? I mean could it be installed on one server and to be used by multiple users connected to server with their PCs?
I was looking around, and I found this info on SQL Server Express:The 4 GB database size limit applies only to data files and not to log files. However, there are no limits to the number of databases that can be attached to the server.Does this mean I can use several different databases in my website, like one separate db containing forum entries, and one with user details and related stuff?
We are primarily a DB2 and Oracle shop. There are movements towards SQL Server for smaller applications. We would like to know if anyone out there has shop standards in determining which database should go with what type of application. What we are looking for are possibly database sizes, number of concurrent users, hardware and software cost, network infrastructure, security, scalability, and development tools. Any information would be appreciated.
Hi to everyone, probably it's a faq but I did not find a sure answer.A customer has a Sql Server 2000 standard installed in 1server/5CALlicensing mode, in a windows 2000 server.Does this type of installation limit the further connections (occourred insame or distinct sql accounts) that exceed the 5 client/user?And if this connections aren't limited, are these further connectionspenalized by the query governor like MSDE does?In short, is the CAL licensing mode only a legal issue without affecting orlimiting the performance of the exceeding connections?Thanks in advance,Pas!
I've a SQL 2005 with a certain number of db.Until today i was the only admin of all dbs.Now i need to give to another admin permission to manage one specificdb (but only that).Ho censito un utente di sql con accessi abilitati solo a quel db.If i connect to Enterprise manager with that limited login there is aproblem: i see (only see)all dbs, also db where this login is not autorized.How can i work for not permitting this login to see other dbs? Heonlycan see them but idon't want because of privacy. Is it possible?
Hi all,I'm looking for some ball park estimates on when SQL Server might startto break down, and can't find any reliable info. Any insight is appreciated.Basically, the situation is this: The database structure is very simple;just one table with about 15 columns and about 60-75 million rows. There'sno need for massaging data or complex relations, just simple searches onmaybe a max of 5 columns. Out of the gates we'll be looking at having 30concurrent users and rapidly expanding to about 300-400 concurrent users.I might need to rebuild the database on a daily or weekly basisdepending on how often changes are made to a master file. In the past I'vebeen bit in the butt with the absolute crappiness of SQL Server'sreplication, so I'm going to try to avoid that path if I can (plus I alreadyhave some scripts written to delete and rebuild a similar database on anightly basis). Would it be practical to destroy and rebuild a database thissize on a daily basis?The big question is if searching 60-75 million records is practical inSQL server. If so, what kind of machine would I need to get a nearly instantresponse time per search (.2 second or so) when everyone's banging on it atonce? How many concurrent users can I expect to be able to practicallysupport before SQL Server will start to bog down? Thanks for your thoughts,-Ringo
