I'm sure this question has already been asked, I made an attempt to search the forums, but was unsuccessful.
Our production servers are currently running SQL Server 2000 3a. I just got a new development system and have no intentions of installing SQL Server 2000 dev, but SQL Server 2005 Dev Edition.
I was wondering if I will still be able to install SQL2005 and still be able to administer/modify 2000 mdfs with SQL 2005 Enterprise Manager. I wanted to be able to still make development on SQL 2k5 and update the production server (SQL2k). This is on my dev system not the production, the production will still be running SQL 2k, until the client decides on purchasing SQL 2k5.
Of course I will not be able to use the new db features and types on a SQL2000 server, I just want to maintain the legacy with 05 Enterprise Manager (i.e.: SP, UDF and DTO).
I am new to accessing sql stuff and asp.net I have some code in a .cs page that accesses a sql database and displays the information on a page from top to bottom (press releases: www.managewatch.com/press). I created this site but I used the code from the old site and just implemented it. I'd like to have the press releases display from newest on top to oldest on bottom. Is there a way I can do this? I have included the code in my cs page that does this: protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { // connect to db SqlConnection db = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["xxxx"].ConnectionString); db.Open(); // Initialize Objects SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(); cmd.Connection = db; SqlDataReader row; // COUNT PAGES ######################################## cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM press"; row = cmd.ExecuteReader(); while (row.Read()) { Literal pressReleaseTitle = new Literal(); Literal pressReleaseBody = new Literal(); pressReleaseTitle.Text = "<div id='pressheader'>" + row["title"].ToString() + "</div>"; pressReleaseBody.Text = "<div id='pressbody'>" + row["content"].ToString() + "</div><br>"; lblPressReleases.Controls.Add(pressReleaseTitle); lblPressReleases.Controls.Add(pressReleaseBody); } row.Close(); db.Close(); } I can see what is happening here "cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM press";" tells it to get all the info from "press" but I just don't get the " row = cmd.ExecuteReader();" part. Is this just grabbing one line of the database? what does this code do? Thanks!
In my script below. I'm trying to update a SQL Server 2000 DB with data from SQL Server 2005. I've written a Cursor to call tables from information schema. Compare the data between 2005 and 2000 then Insert into SQL 2000 Table. But I'm getting The multi-part identifier "c.ID" could not be bound.. Can you please help me to resolve this.
DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR FOR SELECT Table_Name FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE Table_Type = 'Base Table' and Table_Name like 'L_%'
OPEN TableCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN
DECLARE @Line VARCHAR(1000)
SET @Line = ''
SELECT @Line = @Line + 'c.'+ c.Column_Name + ' , ' FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES T JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS C ON t.Table_Name = c.Table_Name WHERE t.Table_Name = @TableName and t.Table_Name like 'L_%'
Hi,We currently have a fairly old product, which was originally onlycompatible with SQL 2000.When we upgraded our server to SQL 2005, the client product gave us a"This product is not compatible with this version of SQL server"error.We put the server into SQL 2000 compatability mode, and things worked.Then I tested a Windows Vista workstation client. The error returned.I realise that if we are simply dealing with a client incompatabilitywith Vista, then I'm in the wrong forum, but what I'm hoping is thatsomeone knows anything server side, perhaps where SQL 2000compatability mode becomes ignored for some reason, when the client isrunning Vista.The vendor pretty much no longer exists, and nothing I've been able todo with Vista's compatability modes has been helpful so far.
I have a database that is in the SQL Server 2000 compatability mode on my SQL 2005 server. I am trying to restore a backup of this database on my SQL Server 2000 database on another server and keep getting strange messages. First trying Red-Gate and then plain SQL Server with no luck.
It seems as I remember that the 7.0 and 2000 compatibility issue between backups did not arise when the compatibility mode was set to 7.0.
Is this "planned" behavior or an "undocumented feature"??? Anyone else have success doing this?
I have sql server 2000(sp2) rs installed on one of my mashine and I am using VS,NET 2005 to develop some reports.
At the deploing step I am getting some error:
"Connection could not be made to the report server http://..."
Additional information on error message says:
"The attempt to connect to report server failed.Check your connection information and that report server is a compatible version. (Microsoft.ReportingServices.Designer)."
Can't find any information about this issue. Is there anything I have to do to fix this.
I need to simulate cursor-type (groan) behavior in a dataset and am wondering if this is possible in the foreach task. Example - The user has the need to go through the data row-by-row, and if a certain value is missing in row 10 then go back to row 8, grab a value from that row, and plug it in the missing column in row 10. Then move on to row 11.
Is there a way to make the foreach ADO enumerator travel backwards? Is there a way to do this that will not be awfully inefficient? Any suggestions out there would be welcome.
I've advocated for set-based updates, and these simply aren't an option, as each successive row depends on the updates that may have happened above it in the sequence. Unless I hear of any other ideas out there I have to move forward with this sequential type operation.
what are the SS rules around forwards compatibility? For example, I have a SS2014 DB instance but I'm able to query it through SSMS2012 Express. Also, I backed up a SS2012 database and restored it into a SS2014 instance which works as expected. Should I also be able to back up a SS2014 instance that was restored from SS2012 and restore it into a separate SS2012 instance?
How do I check the compatability level of a database? The db in question was originally created in SQL 6.5 and converted to 7.0. Would this have reset the compatability level to 7 or left it at 6.5? If it is at 6.5 what are the implications of changing it to 7?
Ray, if you answer this can you please forward me your email address. Thanks.
Finally, I may have a good enough excuse to justify changing the compatabilty level of one of the biggies I look after!
Before I go ahead with the change I just wanted to run a couple of questions passed the community. I know this is very vague, but what sort of problems should I expect? I know there are a few syntax changes, but I don't imagine I will have a problem going up in compatability level! What is the best method to perform this? A very simple
EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel 'playdb', 80
Or
ALTER DATABASE SET SINGLE_USER EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel 'playdb', 80 ALTER DATABASE SET MULTI_USER
How long does this process take; are we talking seconds, minutes, hours? I imagine it's seconds, but I pose this question because a colleague reckons it will take longer because of the database size. I argue that because it's a db configuration setting, it will make no difference...
Does SQL Server Express Edition work with a Pentium M computer? When I downloaded it there was a message that it wasn't the proper hardware but everything else fits the requirements for an install.
I am currently running a sqlServer 2000 database and am considering changing it to 2005 I see that I can do this via Properties> options and changing the dropdownbut are there any risks?
I need to know if Microsoft supports SQL Server 2000 running on the same server that functions as a Terminal Server (both NT and Windows 2000).
I checked out Microsoft.com and found that SQL Server 7 is supported with NT Terminal Services but can't locate any compatability information SQL 2000.
PS: I know this configuration doesn't make sense from a performance perspective but my customers will want to do this anyway.
hiI just gotta know:what is the database that sql server creates/works with?Can it be used in an oracle environment?Or can it be uploaded to a Oracle db? (like access thru odbec)thanks!!jim
I upgrade to sql 2005 from sql2000. The problem is that the compatability mode 90 is not available, 8.0 and 7.0 are, when looking at the compatability level in the properties tab. THe GUI, Management studio is loaded and operational.
What do I need to do to make the 90 compatability mode available?
We have multiple NT machines which have/require Service Pack 3 installed and run an application which makes an ODBC connection to an SQL 7 DB. Some of them are experiencing ODBC issues.
Question: Are there any known ODBC compatability issues with machines runnings service pack 3 ODBC connecting to SQL 7 running NT Service Pack 4?
I have ran into a problem making a database where i have two versions of a book , one in russian and the other in English. The english part worked but when i input the data for Russian it gets replaced each time with question marks. Is there something i have to enable for the SQL database for it to be able to store Russian Text, or is it a DataType i have to set???
When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.
How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?
Currently, if I run this query:
SELECT @@version
I get the following:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.
Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:
I installed Visual Studio 2005 Professional then after that was installed and running, I tried to install the the SQL Server 2005 Developer's Edition which installed but I do not get the SQL Server 2005 Studio Manager. I have remove and reinstalled but it never gets installed. Any ideas?
We have been using Sql Server 2005 Compact Edition 3.1 RDA synchronization method successfully on Sql Server 2000 database. Recently we moved the database to Sql Server 2005, sync doesn't work anymore, it just hangs on one table. On further investigation, we found out that it's the index on that table that causes this. We removed the index, it works fine. We are wondering the root cause, removing the index is not a solution for us. Any thoughts?. Thanks.
(1) I have already installed of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition first.

(3) How to use SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition instance on visual studio 2008?
I am trying to install SQL 2005 in a 2-node virtual Windows 2003 cluster. I set the cluster up through Virtual Server 2005 with 2 virtual nodes and one virtual domain. The nodes can connect to each other as well as the physical machine. When I try to install a fresh copy of SQL 2005 on my cluster, I get an error every time. The error stops the installation while checking system configuration after installing prerequisites. The log file entry is as follows:

I have a SQL Server 2005 evaluation that has already been installed and setup on a server. I believe it originally had a 180 day eval. There have been numerous databases and users added as well as maintenance plan created...
The eval was put on the machine as an interim solution while waiting for paper work and order processiing things to happen. All the paperwork and ordering... have been completed and I now have the real SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition license key ....
I am very new to SQL Server and need to determine ...
1. Can I update the eval copy to become permanently licensed?
2. Would I want to upgrade the eval to permanent? Will I lose any capabilities by keeping the current eval setup?
If it is reasonable to keep the eval setup
3. How do I go about entering the license key to make it permanent?
If it is necessary to install the new Standard Edition...
4. How do I install it while maintaining the already defined databases, data, users, maintenance plan...
Hi, I am developing an application for pocket pc 2003 smart device which utilizes synchronization between SQL CE 2005 and SQL server 2005 by means of REMOTE DATA ACCESS method call PULL( ) and PUSH( ) but currently these are the details of the error Im encountering when PULL( ) method is called:

Hello,If I backup and restore an express database to sql server 2005 standard, will there still be limitations in regards to the database size, cpu...etc.? Thanks,Jon
Do you now, How can I move database with datas to release version of sql server? Procedores backup/restore can't help becouse of unsuported version database.
How do I upgrade Sql Server 2005 Express to SP2 if I also have SQL Server 2005 Enterprise SP2 already on the same box? I installed Sql Server 2005 Enterprise first, then applied SP2, then installed Visual Studio 2008 (which installed SQL Server 2005 Express).
When I try to upgrade Sql Server 2005 Express to SP2 using the special Express edition of SP2, I get an error message that says "None of the selected features can be installed". I end up having to cancel the install of SP2.
I'm left with SQL Server 2005 at level 9.0.3054 and SQL Server 2005 Express at 9.0.3042. How can I bring SQL Server Express 2005 to the same level as SQL Server 2005 Entperprise?
Hello!! How can I upgrade from SQL Server 2005 Express Edition to SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition? I see allot of example of upgrading from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005, but no example on upgrading from SQL Server 2005 Express to SQL Server 2005 Enterprise or Standard. Is this possible?
I need to install SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition on a new Windows Server 2003 machine that has SQL Server 2005 Express Edition installed by a backup application (Backup Exec). Will I need to uninstall the express edition in order to install the standard edition? Can the two coexist as separate instances or will the standard edition installation simply upgrade the express installation?
