I want to keep Win98 and my files intact on my C drive then install another hard drive and install MS Back Office (NT 4.0, SQL 7.0) on the new drive. When I want to switch operating systems, I want to restart in dos, go to the new drive and launch NT. I can't dual boot because I have FAT32 file system on my C drive. Has anybody tried this? Do it work?
View 1 RepliesI created a DTS local package on the SQL Server. It's basically importing a text file into a table in my database. This file resides in a mapped drive (X:) from another server. When I schedule the DTS as a job, it fails. It doesn't execute any of the workflow in the design.
However, when I copy the text file into a drive local to the SQL server (D:), it runs flawlessly.
What I do right now is I have a windows scheduled task that runs a batch file that copies the text file from X: to D: at certain time intervals. Then the job scheduler runs to import it.
What am I missing? How come the job scheduler can't read the file directly from the mapped drive?
Any info would be appreciated. TIA
My first question is can I run Analysis Services 2005 on a different server to where the databases are running

Hi All,
I've been trying to find the answer but been unable to. My question is it possible to create a SQL Server (2005) database in a usb2 drive? I have a large usb drive that i would like to store my database into instead of my local drive which is not that big.
Thanks

I have been trying to use openrowset with a shared drive, and even though the share has "full control" permissions granted to "everyone" and the accout that SQL runs under has been granted explicit full control permissions I am unable to open the file which itself has no security on it.
Can I not use a \ path and only use mapped drives?
Thanks

I am trying to move a log file from one drive to another.
What I have done is add another file to my file group. So now my log has a file on the 'e' drive and one on the 'f' drive. I now want to remove the file on the 'e' drive. I have emptied the file on the 'e' drive. When doing the command:
ALTER DATABASE Uniprodruntime
REMOVE FILE m_rk_runtime_log
I get the following error message..
Server: Msg 5020, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The primary data or log file cannot be removed from a database.
I have also gone into enterprise manager and tried to delete the file and it does nothing.
Has anyone run into this?

 1: TempDB keeps getting filled.  Restart of the server has not fixed it. I shrink it, but the space gets filled again. Now I can't even shrink it anymore
2: TempDB is at the wrong location. Its current location is this :C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.SQLPROD6MSSQLDATA empdb
How do I change its location?Â
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.SQLPROD6MSSQLDATA empdb
Correct location of TempDB should be: TempDB(T:) But its not there
Being a very novice SQL Server administrator, I need to ask the experts a question.
How do I go about moving a database from 1 drive to another? The source drive (C is local to the server, but the target drive (E is on a Storage Area Network (SAN), although it is still a local drive for the server. I want to move the database from C: to E:. Can someone provide me with instructions?
Thanks,

How to backup half of dbs from a server on C drive and the other half on D drive and vice versa, first half on D drive and other half On C drive using only one job and one stored procedure??
Using scheduling from job add 2 schedules to the job so first schedule backup first half to C and second half to D , the second schedule backup first half to D and second half to D.
In my environment, there is maintenance plan configured on one of the server and while running DBCC checkdb on a database of size around 200GB, log file usage of tempdb is increasing and causing the maintenance job to fail.
What can I do to make the maintenance job run successfully, size of the tempdb database is only 50GB and recovery model is set to simple. It cannot be increased as the mount point on which it is residing is 50GB.
If I start a long running query running on a background thread is there a way to abort the query so that it does not continue running on SQL server?
The query would be running on SQL Server 2005 from a Windows form application using the Background worker component. So the query would have been started from the background workers DoWork event using ado.net. If the user clicks an abort button in the UI I would want the query to die so that it does not continue to use sql server resources.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks

Has anyone implemented SQL 7 on a cluster(NT 4 Enterprise). It has been running for about 1.5 years with no problems. However, I now wish to manage the transaction log on a separate disk to the data, to increase performance.
I think I would need to create a new Disk resource on the cluster for the transaction log. But am not sure of the consequences during failover.
Has anyone done this, so that the disks containing the transaction log also failover.
There are some articles at the microsoft site, but none deal with managing the transaction log separately on a Cluster.

Is there a way in a query to look for the blank space and separate the names?
I simply need to separate the string for each row by the & character and then I'm assuming i ll be able to COUNT and GROUP BY the occurrences of each separate value in order to find the most commonly used inputs.I have a column Variables in the table Functions, that contains a string of values separated by the & character that shows the inputs each student inserted into a function.
How would I go about splitting that string without the use of a function or stored procedure and the find the most commonly used variables? (I was thinking the latter part could be easily solved with a COUNT(*) and appropriate GROUP BY.)
Example of data:
StudentID FunctionName Variables
1 Example1 Var1=10&Var2=xy&Sign=True&Role=False
