SQL 2000 On Win2k3 Enterprise?

Aug 30, 2006

I am attempting to install MS SQL 2000 SP2 on a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP1 box. The only installer I can find on the disc is in the MSDE directory and when I run it it immediately gives me this error:

"This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."

I have tried copying the install files to my local hard drive for install, I have checked the version of my Windows Installer (3.1.4000.1840). I have the SP4 updates ready to go once it's installed, but I just cannot get past that point. I know that the same software version has been installed on other Windows 2003 systems, so why would it have a problem on this one machine?

Thanks

SQL 2000 SP4 On Win2K3 Cluster

Feb 20, 2008

Hey there I am an SQL noob, our bank has no real SQL Admin, we had onw that left but never had a good knowledge transfer. We have 2 SQL servers clustered. IBSQL1 and IBSQL2 they make up cluster IBSQL. We have 2 other servers IBIIS1 ans IBIIS2 and we noticed when installing apps on them that they could not see the database. Yet it can ping IBSQL. The problem is on IBSQL1 and 2 port 1433 is not listening or open. Thus on IBSQL it isn't either of course. I have read of all kinds of people having this issue and most have said you need to manually add a connection string "Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=machineName,1433;Initial Catalog=xx;User ID=xx;Password=xx" Problem is I do not know how to add a connection string.

I need step by step instructions since im new to this. Start/programs/etc..... Apparently it is not enough to open the properties of tcp/ip in the config util and say 1433. You need to reenforce it by adding that string.

As it stands I cannot "telnet ibsql 1433" it tells me to take a hike basically.

So is the connection string the likely cause? or could it be something simpler? Thanks in advance.

Migration From SQL 2000 Enterprise Server To The SQL 2005 Enterprise Server (64 Bit-Itanium Server)

Dec 20, 2006

We are migration few database from SQL 2000 Enterprise Server to the SQL 2005 Enterprise Server (64 bit-Itanium Server)

Problem :

- The performance difference observer was not much (Just 15-18%)

- The CPU Utilization goes to 100% immediately, when the software login screen appears and it sustains in between 90% to 100%

- Multi-User Access (3 or more concurrent users), the sql performance is tremendously slow.

Steps followed for Migration:

- We have used the backup and restore method to migrate the data from SQL 2000 Enterprise Server to the SQL 2005 Enterprise Server (64 bit-Itanium Server).

- We ran the DBCC DBREINDEX for each affected tables

- We executed the sp_updatestats procedure for all the tables

- Upgraded the DB compatibility version to 90

- Installed the SQL 2005 Enterprise Server (64 bit-Itanium Server) Service pack 2.

One thing that we observed, was the memory usage, on SQL 2000 the sqlservr.exe uses around 1.5 GB where as on the SQL 2005 its just 120 MB.

A normal select query on 2000 Server took 11-12 sec, having 10 lac records, and the same query on 2005 took 1 min (3-5 sec CPU process taken by sqlservr and rest by the Sever Management Studio.

The only differance noted was that on 2000 the entire data was displayed at one go where as in 2005 the data was displayed at the 1st sec, and was filling the rest in the buffer, and to finally display entire data it took 1 min.

Also

when we run this query

select * from sys.dm_os_sys_info

one column os_priority_class shows a value = 32 ? what does this means.

In the MSSQLSERVER SERVICES, properties, there is a parameter displaying value

Advanced > Running Under 64 bit OS = No ? what does this means.

Could anyone pls suggest as to how to increase the sqlservr.exe memory area, and also how the enhance the performance.
