This is my first foray into SQL Server and i am coming from an Oracle background.
We are currently looking to upgrade a COTS package from a third party supplier. I would like to know is there any end of life announcement for SQL Server 2000 ? Is there an End of Support date announced for SQL Server 2000 ?
In Oracle there is a product life cycle announcement screen, I would like to know if there is a similar page in SQL SERVER and where ?
I am not very good in queries. Could you please suggest me some web site/Tutorial/Artical where i can get Study Material for complex and real life queries. I know the syntexes, I just need to practice queries to enhance my skills
Would someone please make a clarification for me on the mainstream desupport of SQL Server 2000. In the following url it states that the desupport will take place 4/8/2008. http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?LN=en-us&p1=2852&x=12&y=11 Yet, if you read the lifecycle policy it at the following location it states that mainstream support is for 2-5years after the release of the successor product which ever is longer. http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifepolicy Since SQL Server 2005 was released 4/8/2005 then five years would put it on support until 4/8/2010. Would someone please correct me where I am reading this incorrectly?
Hello, I would like to see if Microsoft has issued any announcement on SQL Server 2000 end of support. If anyone is aware of this or seen new posts/articles, please let me know. Thank you!
I've seen threads concerning this problem. I have followed the prescribed steps to fix the problem. I've set the db owner to sa, I've set compatibility to 2005. Still I can't get the diagram to function.
I have a c# application running on my machine. I want to point to a sql server data base express edition running on other machine. By default, from server explorer Ionly acces data base files of the local machine. I dont have acces to remote servers.
I used the file explorer and opened the mdf file on remote server. I tried to acces the mdf file remotely but i got excepcion.
My questios are:
- Is sql server 2005 express edition supporting remote connection to mdf data base file?
- In other words, I can remotelty conncect to mdf file from remote machine ?
So, I how can point my application to remote sql server 2005 express edition data base running on other machine?
Does Microsoft officially support installing SQL 2005 Express on a server where SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition is already running (a has to keep running).
In case they do, where do i find this official info / note.
Have they released white papers on this matter?
I know it is possible to install the two together and that they can coexist, but I am worried about how the two SQL installations wil behave when being updated with patches, security updates, service packs etc. do you run the possibility of them corrupting each other? Therefor it is vital to know if Microsoft supports the two running on the same system.
I have imported a series of SQL 2000 DTS packages to our 64bit AMD SQL 2005 server. I then created SSIS pkgs to run each SQL 2000 package using the Execute DTS 2000 package task. Then I deployed these packages to the Yukon server as well.
I can run these packages when launching them via Integration Services from Management Studio on my workstation, but when I try to run them via a SQL Job or the DTExec command on the server, I get this error. Anyone know of a workaround?

I have installed the SQL Server 2000 DTS components from the November feature pack on both my workstation and the server.
Reader Community I've just started hosting my newly created Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition web site. Unfortunately the Login group membership functions will not function correctly. Having contacted the web service hosting provider, They replied: "We do not support SQL express2005. The only way to use the extra functions of ASP.NET2 such as group membership is if it is using an SQL 2000 database to connect to. " Is it possible to design web sites with Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition that store membership details on an SQL 2000 database? I've just paid £88 approx. $140 for a years subscription, have I chosen the wrong web service hosting provider? Should I have designed the web site with a better web site design software tool that also makes designing membership login functionality easy, just as Microsoft Visual Web developer 2005 express edition? Look forward to all comments? Regards
I am using SQL 2005. I have one very big database. The size of the DB is 1500986.88 MB and space available is 149359.48 MB. There are log files in this DB. The size of my log files are growing so big. The currently allocated space of one log file is 799874.50 MB and available free space is 38281.67 MB (4%). And the currently allocated space of another log file is 1500 MB and available free space for this log file is -760092.83 MB (-50672%)
I am not sure how come available free space for the 2nd log file becomes –ve. What does it mean? If I shrink log file, will I get any extra space? If not, what is the solution?
My one VB Exe used to connect SQL 2000 using windows SQL Server Driver. But same exe is giving problem of SQL Connection Timed out error in SQL 2005 - SP1. As this exe refers 5 tables from database and insert as well as update the data. Also client pc and server pc's ping test is around 30 to 40 ms. Is there any way where we can increase timed out level at SQL 2005.
One more thing which i noticed in 2005. its really very heavy software. even my IBM Xeon_346 server 3GB Dual CPU, 3 GB RAM also not able to handle.
In my MSSQL server 2000 sp4, in performanece monito, buffer memory, pagelife expectancy is equal to 0.00000 (average for 10 sec, auto update). Ithink sth is wrong configured, but what?Marek
Hi. I have a table called "Maxes" with three fields: Exercise_ID, weight, and date. This is for journaling my weightlifting progress. What I want my query to do is this: Return just one record for each Exercise_ID, and only the one with the most recent date.
I tried this:
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT Maxes.Exercise_ID, Maxes.Date_Maxed, Maxes.[Max Weight] FROM Maxes ORDER BY Maxes.Date_Maxed DESC;
but it doesn't quite work. Can someone show me how to do this?
I started receiving these alert messages, and after doing some re-search still can't figure out how to totally resolve it. From what I gather the value Microsoft stipulates 300 for PLE is not accurate if you running a 64 bit OS and dependent of the amount of RAM you allocate to SQL.
If I allocate 20 Gig of RAM to SQL, The PLE should not drop below 1500 - (PLE should be 300 for every 4 GB of RAM) (20/4)*300
During the course of the day it sometimes drops below 1500, so my question is how can I further see why and what query is causing this to happen???
I setup a monitoring job as mentioned by Steve Hood to capture results for me every 20 min.
STUCK! I have a consistent PLE value of 0. The server has 8GB RAM, I/O-CPU counters under 30%, various DMV's results show the buffer and memory cache do not calculate up to it's AWE (32-bit) allocation 7.5GB, waits don't show any problems, no locks, no blocks.
There are improvements to indexes that have to be made but where can I identify the root cause to the low PLE? The same process runs x6 quicker on 2 other much lower spec SQL servers exact copies from a data prospective, however there PLE is very high and not production.
Page Life Expectancy (PLE) is pretty bad on my server. PLE is hovering around 3 minutes "sometimes" but is usally around 20-30 seconds.
Total memory allocated to SQL ( a fixed amount ) is set at 3GB.
Of the total memory allocated, SQL Server is using 2.52GB ... so there is room if needed.
The Buffer Cache is sitting at 2.09GB with a hit rate around 99.8%.
The Procedure Cache is sitting at 378MB with a hit rate around 90.5%.
CPU is hovering around 10-20%
Free System Page Table Entries is LOW ... at 22343
Disc Queue Lengths spike quite often to above 5 and sometimes as high as 36. Usually sitting at .05 to 1.0 (and there are times when the DQLs are great and not measureable.
What I need to find out is how to get PLE above the recommended 5 minute mark???
Please let me know if there are any other items I need to note.
Thanks!

I am trying to create a query that will show how much revenue that we have recieved from a customer After the first invoice and I'm having a difficult time creating a query to do it.. I have a customer table and a sales table joined by custno. SELECT Customer.LastName, Sales.InvDate, Sales.AmtChargeFROM Customer INNER JOIN Sales ON Customer.CustNo = Sales.CustNo The output I'd like is CustNo, LastName, FirstInvoiceAmount, LifeCycleAmount Getting the first inv date seems straight forward SELECT Customer.CustNo, MIN(Sales.InvDate) AS FirstInv FROM Customer INNER JOIN Sales ON Customer.CustNo = Sales.CustNo GROUP BY Customer.CustNo However getting the amount of that first inv and then getting the sum of all invoices not including the first invoice has me scratching my head. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I have few servers that are VM and different version of SQL Severs (2008 Express/Standard, 2012, or 2014 Enterprise) and seems all of them have same issue that when I am querying "sys.dm_os_performance_counters" for "[object_name] LIKE '%Buffer Manager%' AND [counter_name] = 'Page life expectancy'" I am getting very big number (Ex, above 100K or some servers 1M).Is this number seems fine or acceptable?
I'm getting an alert which states that both my Buffer Cache Hit Ratio and PLE are low on one of my SQL Servers though I'm not sure how to correctly check this.
I ran:
SELECT object_name, counter_name, cntr_value FROM sys.dm_os_performance_counters WHERE [object_name] LIKE '%Buffer Manager%' AND [counter_name] = 'Buffer cache hit ratio'
Which gives me the Buffer Cache Hit Ratio, cntr_Value of 9 though its constantly dipping between 3-3000 and is never steady and I'm unsure if this is normal.
I also ran:
SELECT object_name, counter_name, cntr_value FROM sys.dm_os_performance_counters WHERE [object_name] LIKE '%Buffer Manager%' AND [counter_name] = 'Page life expectancy'
Which gives me the Page life expectancy of 209061.
If these values would cause concern and if this is a normal Buffer Cache Hit Ratio? It's constantly dropping from high or low from what I can see. These scripts were pulled from another forum and I'm assuming they're showing the correct values.
I measure PLE on my server and insert them every minute into a table. Now, when I look into the table I just dont know how to interpret the following data. I dont understand how is that possible. It's an sql server bug? or? How to interpret that data?
UAT environment : SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3 Enterprise Edition
SANDBOX environment : SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3 Standard Edition
I have a database backup (.bak) that was taken from UAT environment that has CDC enabled on some tables. I want to restore that database into my SANDBOX environment which does not support CDC (because of standard edition). The restore process fails due to this incompatibility. Is there any way to restore without CDC (I dont CDC enabled on my SANDBOX; just my data from the backup) ?
Hi, I'm trying to convert our application and support additional east asian languages such as chinese simplified, japanese and korean. I know how to make the asp.net side work by support UTF-8 / global resource files / UICulture and whatever. But what do I have to do on the Sql Server side? I tested a few samples and i'm getting garbage characters after entring some chinese/japanese characters. Another unrelated question, I wrote some custom store procedures (dyanmically concatnated strings), I dont' have sql server 2005, so I'm wondering if I deploy it to sql server 2005, will 2005 be backward compatiable with 2000? I don't have any triggers and stuff, so I'm just wondering if you know anything about it. Thanks.
