I have seen information on the web about running two versions of SQL at the same time on the same server but was wondering any tricks of the trade regarding it. The main recommendation that I have seen is to have SQL 2000 SP4 running first as the default instance (which is my current situation on a development server) and then install SQL 2005 as a named instance on it. Should the SQL 2005 installation place its files in a dedicated directory (ie, C:SQL2005) as opposed to the default directory that the installation would normally write to, thus not overwriting any SQL 2000 system files? Any other recommendations?
Hi all, I need SQL Server 2000 on the server, where SQL Server 2005 has been already installed. So I install SQL Server 2000 Instance as Named one. And everything is ok now when I connect locally from that server (SQL Server 2000 Instance is accessable both in SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager and SQL Server 2005 management Studio) and Default (SQL Server 2005 Instance) also works. But when I try to connect from SQL Server 2005 Management Studio (located on the other server) - only default instance is successfully connected, the named one - give an error:
TITLE: Connect to Server ------------------------------ Cannot connect to SERVERAMED_INSTANCE. ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1) For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=-1&LinkId=20476 ------------------------------ BUTTONS: OK ------------------------------
so I think smth wrong with using ports simultaneuosly. For SQL Server 2005 Remote Connections are allowed both for TCP/IP and Named Pipes. Default TCP Port: 1433
In SQL Server 2000 I didn't find where to allow remote connections. After insallation in Server Network Utility - default TCP port - 0, in Client Network Utility - 1433.
I have already tried to replace 0 with 1433 - nothing changes, and use 1434 both in Server and Client Network Utility - nothing changes.
I need a remote connect to SQL Server 2000 Instance. I hope the answer exists. Thanks to any ideas.
Is it possible to have both servers installed and not having issues? I am really new to this. At my company we have both installed. At home I created a backup of a database in SQL Server 2005 but can not restore it here were we have both.
The message I got is: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backed-up database has on-disk structure version 611. The server supports version 539 and cannot restore or upgrade this database.
So I think it seems that even though I'm trying to restore it in 2005 this version still uses the old server or something.
Hi, I got on my developer computer one instance of msde 2000. I want to test sql server express 2005, can I install it without "scrap" my other instance of 2000?
Strange question maybee, but it's what I wanna do!
I have a system of SSIS packages in which several packages perform the same lookup on the same table. E.g., i have PackageA, PackageB and PackageC all doing a lookup on TableA. All of these packages are spawned by the same PackageD and run frequently. In some cases, there is an issue with concurrency on these lookups. I get the following exception :
" The ProcessInput method on component "LKP Lookup SecurityID" (6658) failed with error code 0xC004702C. The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running.
"
The hex code of this exception corresponds to the following description : "DTS_E_BUFFERNOTLOCKED. This buffer is not locked and cannot be manipulated." That's as much as i could find on this.
My suspision is that the SSIS engine somehow figures that the lookup in these distinct packages is the same one and builds a shared version of the lookup table in memory. Then there is some sort of a multi-threading issue in accessing this shared memory which leads to the exception above.
Has anyone experienced this? Can someone shed some light on this?
I've installed sql2005 on a windows 200 server. now the requirement is to install sql2000 also on the same server.
Would like to know if any have experienced and type of problem on having both sql on same server. and if there is any impact on installing sql2000 after sql2005.
I have three systems that running different version of SQL sever.. 1. my notebook - SQL Server Express 2005 2. my WS - SQL Server 2005 Standard 3. my server - SQL Server 2000
I installed SSEUtil to all of them and only the notebook works.. I read the Read me but it doesn't help me resolve my problem so I hope someone from this forum can help me out..
The problem: Running sseutil on system 2. and 3. get this error, but not on 1. SSEUtil An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) Additional information: The service 'MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS' is not installed.
I would like to create an SSIS package in 2005 and run it in 2000. Is there anyway to do this? Or does SQL Server 2000 have a precursor to SSIS? I am trying to create a job to automatically catch and kill orphaned processes. -Kyle
I'm running 2000 databases in a 2005 server. Can anyone tell me if there are adverse effects in doing this? As I understand it, the 2005 performance benefits are available to databases running as 2000(Ver80) But some of the new futures may not be available.. And any documentation from Microsoft/white papapers regarding this subjects are appreciated..
Hi allI am looking for the best method to automate a website's database management. Lets say I have a user registration database and the users register. This sends an automated email to the user with a link to activate the users registration. If the user does not register within 24 hours, his registration must be automatically deleted from the database using a stored procedure.I know how to do this using the global.aspx file, however there must be an alternative way of doing this, especially if the database is an SQL database. I do not know how much MSSQL server access is given to a developer by an as ISP who hosts the website.Can anyone tell me what would be the best method to use.ThxWarren
I have a simple update statement that is running forever in SQL 2005 but works fine in SQL 2000. We have a new server we put SQL 2005, restored db. The table in question WEEKLYSALESHISTORY I even re-indexed all the indexes and rebuilt the stats as well. But still no luck, still running extremely long. 1 hour 20 minutes.
I'll try to give you some background on these table. Weeklysalehistory has approx 30 fields. I have 11 indesxes set up weekending date being one of them. And replication control has index on lasttrandatetime as well. So I think my indexes are fine.
/* Update WeekEnding Date for current weeks WeeklySales Records */ Update WeeklySalesHistory set weekendingdate = (SELECT LastTransDateTime from ReplicationControl where TableName = 'WEEKHST') where weekendingdate is null
Weekly sales has approx 100,000,000 rows Replication control has 631,000 (Ithink I can delete some from here to bring it down to 100 or 200 records) Although I don't think this is issue since on 2000 has same thing and works fine.
I was trying to do this within SSIS and thought that was issue. I am new so SSIS but it runs long even if I just run it as a job with this simple Update statement so I think its something with tables, etc that is wrong.
One thing on noticed if I look at the statistics in SQL Server Management studio there is a ton of stats. some being statistics on indexes which makes sense then I have a ton of hind_113_9_6 and simiiar one like this. I must have 90 or so named like this. Not sure how to check on SQL 2000 all the stats to see if they moved over from there or what. I checked a few other tables and don't have all these extra stats. Could this be causing the issue do I need to delete all these extras? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i am working on upgrading the clients and server computers from 2000 MSDE to 2005 SQL Express Adv. Plan to upgrade using the template.ini.
i can find the version of sql server running on th server by @@version but how do i find the version of client connctivity components the computer has installed in order to ugrade?
1. somehow i need to know whether to upgrade a client computer CONNECTIVITY COMPONENTS from 2000 to 2005?
2. is there a way to enable tcp/ip in installation script of SQL Express?
I have a setup where I need to replicate the database which is actually subscribing from another database. The current setup is all in SQL Server 2000. I need to now setup a Distrbutor on a SQL server 2005 and publish the database using this distributor to another server on SQL server 2000.
Has anybody done this before. If yes what will I need to check. Can you please let me know :-
1) SQL Server 2000 which SP should be installed to support this enviroment.
2) SQL Server 2005 which SP should be installed to support this environment.
Where can I further educate myself on this subject?
Right off from the start I would assume that installing SQL Server 2000 or 2005 on Windows Server 2003 that is set up as a web server hosting a website would be against "best practices." Is my assumption right?
Common sense tells me to not to host a website on a pc that is also hosting my database.
Can I run an instance of SQL Server 2000 in SQL Server 2005?
I was planning on restoring a backup of my SQL Server 2000 db to SS 2005, but keep the SS 2000 configuration. The main reason for doing so is to maintain the DTS packages I have in SS 2000 because my understanding is that these are not easily duplicated in SS 2005 Integration Services.
My system is already installed with SQL server 2000 . Is it possible for me to install SQL server 2005 BETA CTP in the same machine and run both side by side.
The box I am trying to connect to is running two instances of SQL Server. There is a SQL Server 2005 instance which is the default. There is a SQL Server 2000 instance which is named 'SQLSERVER'. I can connect to the SQL Server 2000 instance no problem:<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPCSQLSERVER;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> However, I am having trouble connecting to the Default SQL Server 2005 instance. I have tried: <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> but it doesn't work. I have tried explicitly setting SQL Server 2005 to use port 1434 (as SQL Server 2000 is running on port 1433), and then used: <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC,1434;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> but this doesn't work either.
Am I mssing something here? Any help much appreciated Thanks...
I have one standby server that I use for multiple production DB SQL Server 2000 servers. We are upgrading one of the production SQL Servers to 2005. I will install 2005 on my standby and run 2000 and 2005 side by side.
Is this okay? Are there any caveats specific to running 2000 and 2005 on the same standby server?
Has anyone developed a workaround to have SQL 6.5 and SQL 7.0 simultaneously active on the same NT 4.0 Server host. The use of VSWITCH.EXE to switch between SQL 6.5 and SQL 7.0 in not an acceptable solution. There are several applications that are only supported under SQL 6.5 and will not be upgraded to SQL 7.0 for another 3 to 6 months.
There are other applications (ERP and data mart) that were developed specifically for SQL 7.0 to take advantage of its new DTS, OLAP, and query capabilities.
All these applications need full-time access to their respective databases.
The obvious solution is to host SQL 6.5 and SQL 7.0 on separate servers. The client has a "monster" database server which would be too expensive to duplicate. Using a "standard" PC to host SQL 6.5 would significantly compromise performance of those applications.
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,I have managed to create a second copy of my "live" database, forsoftware testing purposes.Inspecting the properties of the new database, everything seems inorder. The logical file name is the same, which I believe is fine, andthe physical database (and log file name) is different.However, despite the fact that there is no application currentlyaccessing the "testing" copy, both databases are seemingly beingupdated simultanously. I can tell this from the physical file sizes onthe server, which are identical, and growing at the same rate.Does anyone have any suggestions why this might be happening - and howI can stop it?Thanks in anticipation!Phil
Hi, I have requirement where I need to show the table sizes of each table in database. For this, I have written a procedure that finds the sizes and loads into a table. In my report, I should be able to run the procedure and select the rows from the table that I loaded the data into.
Is this possible to run the SP and then run query to get rows when a user clicks view report?
I am not an expert on T-SQL and I am trying out a small project to learn.
I have encountered a problem, whereby I have 2 tables, 1 containing the header (header_id, header_file, admin_menu_id and admin_submenu_id) and then I have another table called header_details, where I am storing the language details for this header, with the fields being (header_details_id, fk_header_id, header_alt, header_caption and fk_language_id)
Now I want to create a stored proc, first to insert the header and then the header details. I also want that if the header or header details already exist, I just do an update on these tables.
I tried the following code but its not working:-
ALTER Procedure [dbo].[INSERT_Header] ( @admin_menu_idint, @admin_submenu_idint, @header_filevarchar(150), @header_altvarchar(150), @header_captionvarchar(200), @language_idint @outIDint OUTPUT ) AS BEGIN
-- First do a select on the header table to see if this header already exists
DECLARE @count integer = 0
SELECT COUNT(*) as @count FROM headers WHERE[fk_admin_menu_id] = @admin_menu_id AND[fk_admin_submenu_id] = @admin_submenu_id
--if it exists, then update this header IF @count > 0 BEGIN UPDATE [headers] SET [header_file]= @header_file
WHERE [fk_admin_menu_id] = @admin_menu_id [fk_admin_submenu_id] = @admin_submenu_id ELSE -- Insert header in header table -- BEGIN INSERT INTO [headers] ([header_file] ,[fk_admin_menu_id] ,[fk_admin_submenu_id]) VALUES (@header_file ,@admin_menu_id ,@admin_submenu_id) -- Get the Inserted Header ID -- SET @outID = SCOPE_IDENTITY() END
-- Now do a select on the header_details table to see if this header with this language already exists DECLARE @count_details integer = 0
SELECT COUNT(*) as @count_details FROM header_detail WHERE[fk_admin_menu_id] = @admin_menu_id AND[fk_admin_submenu_id] = @admin_submenu_id AND[fk_language_id] = @language_id
--if it exists, then update this header IF @count_details > 0 BEGIN UPDATE [header_detail] SET[header_alt]= @header_file ,[header_caption] = @header_caption
WHERE [fk_header_id] = @header_id [fk_language_id] = @language_id ELSE -- Insert header in header table -- BEGIN INSERT INTO [header_detail] ([fk_header_id] ,[header_alt] ,[header_caption] ,[fk_language_id]) VALUES (@@out_ID ,@header_alt ,@header_caption ,@language_id) END
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?
I have 2 tables EmployeeA(Eng) and EmployeeB(Spanish) kept in seperate mdb's. I want to add the records into Sql Server 2005 table called StateEmployee.
Procedure: 1. Loop through 2 folders..one containing table EmployeeA in mdb and other containing tbl EmployeeB in diff mdb's. 2. Pick a file from EmployeeA and EmployeeB, both at the same time. 3. Count the total no of rows in both files. If equal proceed. 4. Compare the 'employeeid' of one row of employeeA to the employeeid of EmployeeB. 5. If employee id matches, load both the rows in Sql server else file it to the error table. 6. Loop through all rows simultaneously till end of row. 7. Go to next mdb.
How do i go about this step by step. I am fairly new to SSIS.
I'm using ASP with a JScript variant and MSSQL Server 2000. I would like to write a script that basically erases all data except for a few things.
Is there a way to update multiple tables at once without having to write lines and lines of code? I tried UPDATE tbl1,tbl2 SET uid='asc', but to no avail. It gave me a syntax error. My thinking behind it is something like... UPDATE dbo.* SET uid='mferguson' and after that I can delete stuff like DELETE dbo.*... Any ideas?
I know the above is ASP, I've tried this thread in the ASP forum with no avail... they referred me to this forum.
Is there any problem with implementating some kind of replication andbacking up transaction logs at the same time? SQL Server 2000 StandardEditionThe server is configured to back up log files regularly, with thepresenceof a(New) Disaster recovery server and with an inability forstandby(Standard Edition)I am planning to implement some kind ofreplication hopefully still backing up the transaction logs to enablea point in time recovery.Thanks in advance for your great ideasVincento
