Hi, I have recently qualified as a MCITP - DBA with SQL 2005, but as I have no commercial experience, have been strugglling to get into the industry. However, I have finally been offered an interview on Monday. The problem is that the company use 2000, not 2005. I think I am pretty much up to speed on the differences, but was wondering (nay, pleading) if anybody could let me know the main commands for analysing query performance and index statistics etc, with a reference to thier equivalent DMV in 2005 (which I am totaly familiar with) This is something I could easily pick up whilst doing the job, but I am aware that there will be an SQL test to asses my knowledge during the interview and I am desperate not to get caught out. Please help!

I am trying to transfer data from a sql server 2000 database to a Sql Server 2005 database... and i just want to transfer around 2 tables.. and my sql server 2000 database is located in one machine and the 2005 database is located in the other machine.. So i am trying to insert data into the sql server 2005 database. So can i do it like this..
Insert into SqlServer2005comp.Databasename..TableName
(
Columns
)
Select
Columns
From
sqlserver2000comp.Databasename..tablenames
Where UserId = @UserId.
Is this the right way to do it.. and can i give this query in the sqlserver2005 db or the 2000 db
I don't know if this is the right forum to post this question, but here it goes.
We have restored into sql 2005 the database backups made in sql 2000. We connect with trusted connection and application roles, and when trying to execute a transaction to another database (with the guest user), we get a permission error.
Does anyone know if, apart from restoring the databases, we should do something else to get the guest user working the same way as with sql 2000 in the restored databases?
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?
When using Form authentication, can we not use SQL SERVER 2000? When I am working with the ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool Wizard, it tells me that:
Your application is currently configured to use: Advanced provider settings
How can I use my existing database on SQL SERVER 2000?
i want to create fulltext search for that i have started Microsoft Search component but when i am tring to open SQL server Enterprise manager, i am getting sql server group but it showing "no items" not any database or any other data. what to do.
I can't find the start option and the check box which says auto start when sql agent starts in 2000.
In sql 7.0 it was pretty simple to configure the mail.
First configure the MAPI, then restore the same in sql agent test it then go to suport service then right click on sql mail and select the profile and click start button there before this test the profile i know we had options such as auto start sqlmail when sql agent starts as well as start and stop in support service..
My problem is i don't see either of these information nor can i find the same..i tried everywhere but they seem to be lost some where..Can some let me know what exactly is the process to start and stop sqlmail in 2000.
Hello All, I am not sure what is going on, but ever since I installed my ASP.NET shopping cart I keep getting the following error message in my Event Viewer under Application. If anyone out there has any idea why this is happening please let me know because it seems to be crashing my other sites on my web server. I have a Web Server which connects to a separate SQL 2000 Server. This error message is on my Web Server. Thank you all in advance for your help!

I launch an installatino of SQL Server 2000 on a server, upgrading the V7 original datbase but it failed with error : "the ordinal 105 could not be located in the dynamic link library opends60.dll"
I have an urgent situation expecting your advice. I have a .net front end application running against SQL 2000 DB in a XP box, it has been working fine for two years, recently when the .Net app starts, it works still ok getting data from sql database on the first form (dislpay data retreived from a table and view in a master-client grid), while I often get timeout error when I proceed with other processes that need sql database and I noticed that the HD light on SQL server machine (XP) kept flashing when timeout error occured, seems it kept reading/writing disk. I could not even close enterprise manager from SQL Server box when the HD was busy, and it also took a considerable long time to reboot the machine. sometimes I just shut down the machine (power off) and turn on the power again, then the sql server came back to life and could work stable for a couple of days.
Do I need reindex? reinstall sql server? or might it be relating to hardware issue?
We have few branches with individual dbs are sitting in the branches itself. Periodically all the data need to be updated to a single HQ database. At the moment, all the tables's primary key are unique and each branch will have branch ID's in the transaction tables.
e.g. Branch1 data need to be updated to HQ db. However, HQ db records which are related to Branch 1 data only need to be updated back to Branch 1. other branch records should not goto Branch1.
Similaryly other branch records need to be updated/replicated back to HQ database. And only records related to the particular branch need to be updated from HQ (if any changes made)..
At the moment, i can do simple replication from one db to another db only... Can anyone guide/give suggestions on how to go about doing this?? If possible, please give steps involved...
I have just purchased this new laptop and it comes with Vista Ultimate Edition. Our office network is on SQL 2000. When I tried to connect my new laptop with SQL 2000, it keeps giving me weird run time error. Can someone please tell me, is SQL 2000 compatible with VISTA Ultimate or not, if yes, how can I connect without getting this error. If not, do I need to upgrade SQL 2000 to SQL 2005?
Hello all. I have a nvarchar field in the format dd:hh:mm:ss I need to get a sum of these fields in the same format. So for example if the values are 01:23:00:00 and 00:01:00:00 then the sum of these fields should be 02:00:00:00. Can someone help me? Thanks.
I am currently working on a project which requires reports that need multi-pass queries. I am currently using Crystal Report 8.5 and am not sure how to use multi-pass queries.
Here's some explanation about what I need :
A report has 10 different columns (counters). However, to get the values in all the columns, the filters (WHERE clause) are different for all the columns. The only way I can think of doing this in Crystal Reports 8.5 is using Sub-reports (that will kill my performance) or then write stored procedures to populate an intermediate table on which the report will be based on.
Is there any reporting tool in the market that will help me pass multiple queries (with different WHERE clauses) in the same report.
I would appreciate your help on the above the earliest.
I've try to use DTS to import data from Sybase 11 database to MSSQL2000 database. After the import process completed, I found that all the Keys, triggers disappeared. How do I solve the problem???
Hi every one I am new meber of this community with an urgent new problem with SQL server DTS process:) pls HELP! PROCESS DETAILS:
My data base(db) is on main frame(flat file with hierarchical db format) I used vb script to get that db and split it in to three files so processing is easy after this I use dts PROCESS WITH EXECUTE SQL TASK in combination of some bulk insert scripts to pick these files from server directory and import it in to sql server tables. I know I could have use bulk insert task in dts but my formate file was giving me a problem while I try to develop it through that process so I ended up using tsql bulk insert statment with formate file in the EXECUTE SQL TASK .
PROBLEM : My problem is I have to manually activate VB script where as I want this to be part of my DTS packet so it can be automated.
I know there is Active x scripting task in DTS but have not used it can some one please tell me if this script can be put in to Active X scripting task with or with out any modifications and also what are the modifications I need to do so it can run before other DTS task (which picks the file and insert it in three different tables after format file application.

I am trying to do a unattended upgrade of an MSDE 2000 named instance, say MyInstance, to a SQl Server Express Advanced edition. The set up is Mixed Mode Authentication. ( I can't use Windows Authentication for business reasons). The error I get is

Can't I use SQL Authentication? I could not find a definitive answer on this one. Here's one thread that seem to indicate the same issue
My questions: - Can I use SQL Authentication? - Where am I going wrong? - I know the error message says to use Windows Authentication but I don't understand why I am I forced into using that.
I've successfully carried out pull subscription using Wizard in SQL server 2000.
But NOW its the time to deploy the project & I've to do it programatically........
i tried to use the default stored procedures like "sp_addmergepullsubscription ", "sp_addmergepullsubscription_agent ", "sp_reinitmergepullsubscription ", with respective parameters.
Then using replmerge.exe i tried to execute the batch file But could not succeed......
Can anyone guide me from the Basics ??? (i knw the Replication Architecture its heirarchy....but have NO idea of performing it Programatically......!!!!!!!!)
by BASICS, i mean......how should i execute the resp. stored procedures with what parametes & the order i should follow in order to successfully pull a merge subscription in SQL server 2000.
if a Sample code is mentioned as example, would be better for me to understand....
I am attempting to move some SQL 2000 databases to SQL 2005. My main production database does not seem to want to move. When I use the SQL 2005 GUI the .bak backup file is marked 'Incomplete'. When I attempt to restore the backup file I get a 'RESTORE detected an error on page (0:0) in database' message. I saw a thread in the SQL Express forum suggesting trying to restore from the T-SQL level to get the GUI out of the picture and I get the same 'error on page (0:0)' message. However when I take the same file and use SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager it restores with no problems.
Hi, I am trying to edit some data from a SQL2000-datasource in ASP.NET 2.0 and have a problem with a column that has bit-data and is used for selection. SQL2005 works fine when declaring <SelectParameters> <asp:Parameter DefaultValue="TRUE" Name="APL" Type="boolean" /> </SelectParameters>When running this code with SQL2000, there are no error-msgs, but after editing a record the "APL"-column looses its value of 1 and is set to 0. Looks like an issue with type-conversion, we've hit incompatibilities between SQL200 and 2005 with bit/boolean several times before. So, how is this done correctly with SQL2000? (I've tried setting the Type to "int16" -> err. Also setting Defval="1" gave an err) ThanksMichael
