SQL Server 2000 Virtualization
Feb 13, 2007I'm looking for information on running SQL Server 2000 on virtual servers. Has anybody tried this? What is Microsoft's position? Any information is appreciated.
Thank you

Virtualization Licensing: Confusing And Inconsistent
May 30, 2007Hi, I'm researching the possibility of housing permanent virtual SQL Server instances. Part of the research includes licensing and costs:
I have to say I am confused by two sources of material related to SQL Server virtualization licensing on Microsoft's website...
Source 1: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy/faq.mspx , quote below:
Q. How do I license SQL Server 2005 for my virtual environments?
A. For Standard, Workgroup, and Enterprise, if you decide to license on a per processor basis, you must buy a SQL Server license for each virtual processor. For Enterprise Edition, you can also choose to license all physical processors in a box. This gives you rights to run SQL Server on unlimited number of virtual processors running on the same machine. For Server/CAL mode, for Standard and Workgroup, you must obtain SQL Server licenses for each Virtual Operating System Environment on which you run instances of SQL Server. However, for Enterprise, if you have a Server license for the physical Server, you may run unlimited instances of SQL Server in any Virtual Operating System Environment that you run on that same machine.
If you are using hardware partitioning on a multi-processor server, you get unlimited virtualization for SQL Server Enterprise Edition as long as all processors in that hardware partition are licensed. For example, if you have a hard partition of 10 physical processors on a 32-processor superdome server, 10 processor licenses of SQL Server 2005 give you rights to run free unlimited virtual machines with SQL Server on those 10 physical processors.
I came up with the following table-format explanation to make sense of it all:
Licensing Mode
Applies to
Number of licenses needed
To get this many standalone instances
Per processor per virtual
Standard, Workgroup, Enterprise
#virtual OSs *
#virtual CPUs
Standard, Workgroup:
#virtual OSs * up to 16 instances
Enterprise:
#virtual OSs * up to 50 instances
Per processor per physical
Enterprise
#physical CPUs
¥ virtual OSs * up to 50 instances
Per seat (aka Server + CAL) per virtual
Standard, Workgroup, Enterprise
#virtual OSs + S(users)
Standard, Workgroup:
#virtual OSs * up to 16 instances, among S(users)
Enterprise:
#virtual OSs * up to 50 instances, among S(users)
Per seat (aka Server + CAL) per physical
Enterprise
1 physical OS + S(users)
¥ virtual OSs * up to 50 instances, among S(users)
Where:
€œCPU€? is the number of CPUs as physically-recognized by the virtual OS or physical OS. CPUs enumerated by hyperthreading or dual-core processing and its corresponding host CPU are considered together one CPU. Refer to the Intel CPUCount utility for more information.
€œ¥ virtual OSs€? represents the theoretical maximum number of virtual machines supported on hardware of physical host.
€œS(users)€? represents the sum of unique users or devices that may or may not be concurrently connected at any time
Source 2: http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/userights , select "SQL Server", "-->", quotes below:
"Per Processor" page:
To run instances of the server software in virtual operating system environments on a server, you need a software license for each virtual processor that each of those virtual operating system environments uses. If a virtual operating system environment uses a fraction of a virtual processor, the fraction counts as a full virtual processor.
"Per Server/CAL" page:
For each server software license you assign, you may run, at any one time, one instance of the server software in one physical or virtual operating system environment on the licensed server.
Which I feel equates to this:
Licensing Mode
Applies to
Number of licenses needed
To get this many standalone instances
Per processor per virtual
Standard, Workgroup, Enterprise
#virtual OSs * #virtual instances * #virtual CPUs
Standard, Workgroup, Enterprise:
#virtual OSs * #virtual instances
Per seat (aka Server + CAL) per virtual
Standard, Workgroup, Enterprise
#virtual OSs + S(users)
Standard, Workgroup:
#virtual OSs * #virtual instances, among S(users)
Enterprise:
#virtual OSs * #virtual instances, among S(users)
Can a Microsoft representative clear this up for me, please?
I want to present the information accurately and objectively short-term, as well as legally in the long-term.
Thanks in advance for any information.
VIsta Registry Virtualization And Global Settings
Mar 29, 2007Hi,
I develop a software that stores few application settings in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMy Companyetc... registry key. I only store things like Database server name etc in there, that are common to all users of the software. In XP I require an administrator to complete the installation so that he is able to store correct settings in the registry. Normal users do not store anything in HKLM, some settings are however stored in HKCU hive.
Now the problem is Vista and it's new registry virtaulization feature. For example my installation program (InstallShield) stores a "InstallSQL=1" value in registry if SQL Server 2005 needs to be installed at first lauch of the program. THen when the software starts for the very first time it installs SQL server and updates registry accordingly. The problem is that at that point the virtualization kicks in, meaning that only the Guy who runs the installation gets an updated registry settings, any other user would still have the InstallSQL=1 settings when they actually should have a InstallSQL=0 settings as the server has already been installed.
So the first question really is, what is the correct procedure for storing global settings like these in Windows Vista ? An INI file would have the same problem as the Program Files folder is also virtualized. Is there a way to set the registry key not to virtaulize itself ? I do not want to manifest the program to run under Admin rights as they are not needed for anything else that storing the few values necessary to access the server and track install state. Any other settings are stored on the database, so this is not the problem.
Any input is greatly apprecieted.
Kind Regards,
Petri
Single Instance/Multiple Instance/Virtualization Q
May 17, 2007I work for a mid size company with the usual collection of enterprise applications. We are trying to consolidate our SQL environment consisting of around 100 databases none of which are over 100GB with the average database size around 5GB. Recently a large server was purchased as the "Big Daddy" SQL box. Obviously not all the databases will be moved to this one box but within reason a number can.
My question: What is the best way to configure the box?
1 OS & 1 Default Instance - How do we isolate loops memory leaks etc...
1 OS & Multiple instances, ie:Dedicated instance for each application. - How do you allocate CPU & memory, allow for optimum performance without putting others at risk from a rouge process?
Virtualized OS for each application with a default instance - Too much overhead impacts performance?
Future plans include offsite replication, perhaps mirroring with failover.
I'd appreciate anyone else's thoughts ideas? How have you tackled this problem in your environment?
Thanks

Bit-data From SQL Server 2000 (2005 Working, 2000 Doesn't)
May 19, 2008Hi, 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

Jul 23, 2005I've created a small company database where the tables reside in a SQLServer database. I'm using Access 2000 forms for a front end.I've got a System DSN set-up to SQL Server and am using links withinAccess 2000 to get to the SQL Server tables.My forms worked fine until I made a few minor changes to the databaseschema on SQL Server (e.g. added a foreign key, or added a column).After that, all the links break - I click on a table link and get anerror msg like "invalid object name."Deleting the links after a schema change and re-adding the links seemedto fix the problem. The forms I'd already created seemed to work fineafter re-creating the links.But then I got more advanced with my forms. I have it set up so thatfor certain entry fields, the combobox gets populated with values froma table (the description appears in the drop-down and the correspondingprimary key value gets populated in the table). I created a number offorms using this technique, entered data, and everything worked fine.Made a small schema change and it broke everything -- not the actualtable links, but the functionality for the drop-downs. My values nolonger appeared, and this was true for forms that accessed tables whoseschemas did not change.This is driving me nuts. Is there any way to keep my forms frombreaking each time I make a small schema change?Thanks.- Dana

Access 2000 On Windows 2000 Can't Interact With SQL Server 7.0
Mar 13, 2001We have a SQL Server 7.0 system in NT 4.0 environment. We upgraded our users to Access 2000 and started to work with this. Now we installed a new
server which is Windows 2000 based and the domain is different from
the SQL servers domain. We then installed Access 2000 on Windows 2000
to use with terminal server. But I noticed that there was a problem
with the program. I then looked at the program which was written on Access 2000 and saw that the tables and views can't be seen. The program runs but
I can't see the views and tables. Another thing is access disconects from SQL Server when I want to see the tables. So what can be the problem.
In one part there is an Access 2000 on Windows 2000 server. On the other part SQL Server 7.0 on Windows NT 4.0. And Access can't see the tables in SQL server.

Sql Server 2000 Installing Database On New Sql Server 2000
Oct 30, 2007
Problem description
There are two sql servers with the same database in different locations with replication running on them. Users in the two locations insert or update date on there own database through an ms access application . The data are replicated to both servers.
Someone wanted a copy of the database and they dropped replication, but users continue to modify and add data on both servers and so replication could not be back again without merging the two databases as one again and restarting replication.
My job was to merge the databases and make replication work and after allot of work all is fine.
I copy and attached the database on my pc that I set up as a server and did the job. Then I went back on both servers that had replication running before I attached the database and set the subscriber and publisher and all was fine to that point.
The database has six groups with permissions on them and many database users on each location. Both the groups and the users show on the database.
I create a new login and user and I add him to the groups to get the permissions.
Now back on a user pc I login with the new user name run the ms access application and try to add some new records, but I get errors that I cannot insert null values to two of the fields in several tables in the database.
This was not happening before and the database was recording the values in those fields namely the user name and the date that the new record was created.
After some reading I found out that I might need to set the groups and permissions on the views and tables from the beging but Im not an expert.
Any ideas?
Thanks allot

Disaster Recovery: SQL Server 2000 On Win 2000 Server.
Sep 13, 2007This past Monday, our Raid 5 array failed on our SQL 2000 server (standard edition). Long story short, we were able to get the data back, mostly. In SQL server Ent. Mgr., I had to restore 4 databases that were 'Suspect' and "greyed out". No problems there... I was able to restore them.
What was interesting was that the SQL Server Agent would not start. As it turned out, a few files were either corrupt or missing after we got the machine back up. We had to restore a few files from tape backup and now the SQL Server Agent starts... but now I have a new problem.
For some reason, my default SQL Server Agent "Job" that is scheduled to run once per day fails. It appears that all of the databases get backed up, but for some reason, the msdbdata.mdf database is NOT being backed up.
I have a few questions. Could my msdbdata.mdf be corrupt? I have a successful backup of the msdbdata.mdf table from 9/10/2007. Can I just restore from that? Will there be any repercussions to any of the other database tables if I do?
Furthermore, should I just restore the msdbdata.mdf, master.mdf and the model.mdf? I really have no idea what these tables do and the repercussions of modifying them. I am not a DBA (obviously) and I just don't want to make an mistakes.
Thanks, CFDev.

from that, are there any aspects of SQL Server 2000 functionality (from the .NET applicaiton code's point of view) that
are "disabled" in MSDE 2000?
