Backwards Technology(SQL 2005 - SQL 2000)
Feb 29, 2008Hi ALL
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 @TableName VARCHAR(255)
DECLARE @Sql VARCHAR(1000)
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_%'
SELECT @Sql = SUBSTRING(@Line, 1, LEN(@Line) -1)
SELECT @Sql = 'SELECT'+ ' ' + @Sql
SELECT @Sql = @Sql + 'INTO dbo.L_BrokerTest'
SELECT @Sql = @Sql + ' '+ 'FROM'+ ' '
SELECT @Sql = @Sql + @TableName + ' ' +'A' + ' '
SELECT @Sql = @Sql + 'LEFT JOIN'
SELECT @Sql = @Sql + '[Blake-DBN12].Staging.dbo.'
SELECT @Sql = @Sql + @TableName + ' ' +'B'+ ' '
SELECT @Sql = @Sql + 'ON' + ' '
SELECT @Sql = @Sql + 'A.ID <> B.ID'
--PRINT @Sql
EXEC (@Sql)
FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName
END
CLOSE TableCursor
DEALLOCATE TableCursor

SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition Licensing (How To Install Without A License, Then Require License On First Run)
Oct 13, 2006I have a VERY Legitmate use to install sql 4 workgroups on a pc without licensing it. I am making a disk image for MANY pcs to be imaged and load licensing after the imaging is completed.
I have been able to do this with Windows XP Professional, MS Office 2003 and a couple non-Ms programs. The information for MS software even came from their KB, so I know what I am doing is legit. I just can't find any information on doing this for my sql app.
Any suggestions??

SQL 2000 -&&> SQL 2005 Merge Replication Compatible?
Apr 19, 2006Hi everyone,
I'm currently trying to setup a SQL 2k (SP3, build 922) merge replication publisher and a push subscription to a SQL 2005 (RTM release, no hotfixes) subscriber. The distribution database resides on a separate SQL 2k server (SP3, build 1007). I get the error below leading me to believe merge replication is not compatible between versions.
Replication-agentclassname: agent Agent_Name failed. Procedure or function sp_MSupdatesysmergearticles has too many arguments specified..
I say this b/c I've tried SQL 2005 32-bit and x64 subscribers and both give the same error. Anyone have any ideas if this is by design or just a bug that will be fixed later? Thanks.

Can I Access A Database Backwards? (I Really Want To Display The Information Backwards Actually).
Feb 15, 2008I 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!

Jan 18, 2006I'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).
Thanks a gig.

How Compatible Is MSDE 2000 With SQL Server 2000?
May 20, 2005Will any application developed against SQL Server 2000 Developer
Edition work on an identical platform with only MSDE 2000 installed? I
understand there's a concurrency limit with MSDE 2000 of around 25 (and there's no GUI) but apart
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?
Is SQL Server 2000/5 Compatible With Sybase 15 OLEDB Drivers?
Apr 10, 2008
I have been having tremendous trouble getting OLEDB connections to Sybase that I use within SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 to work properly - they always seem to revert to the older, third party Sybase drivers if they are installed on the machine and just generally cause problems - I have given up on using them within an SSIS package all together and gone down another route.
Can anyone confirm to me whether or not this is because the version 15 native drivers that Sybase provide are not supported by SQL Server, please?
Thank you
Database Name (6.5 Compatible) Under Management Studio Viewing Sql 2000 Server
Jul 5, 2006I never noticed it before, but I am now using Management Studio to administer our sql databases and the issue became apparent. One of the databases located on a sql 2000 server, says "6.5 compatible", when viewed from Management Studio (but not from Enterprise Manager).
What are the step needed to upgrade the database? (I think I need to run the Sql 2005 Upgrade Advisor first, fix any errors found, then manually change compatibility mode (to 80) from the sql 2000 server where the database is located. )
TIA,

Creating A SQL Server 2000 Compatible .BAK File From SQL Server Management Studio Express
Jul 11, 2007Hi,My webhost (1and1) is running SQL Server 2000 and their web tool supports the import of .bak files. However, when I try to import my .bak files created in SQL Server Management Studio Express I get the following error:"The backed-up database has on-disk structure version 611. The server
supports version 539 and cannot restore or upgrade this database.
RESTORE FILELIST is terminating abnormally."I have Googled this error and learnt that 2005 .bak files are not compatible with 2000 .bak files. I'm just wondering if there are any work arounds to this or alternative tools that I can create 2000 compatible .bak files from from 2000/2005 .mdf files.Thanks in advance.
Is It A Compatible Bug In SQL Server 2005 ?
Oct 9, 2006Hi, all here,
I use SQL Server 2005 standard edition ,
I choose to use table(table stored in Oracle9i) as source for mining structure, and I use
Oracle Provider for OLE DB(or Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle).I set one column as logic key and this column stored chinese data.Deployment was successful. When I processed the mining structure,
an error happened:
Warning 0x80202066:Data Flow Task :Connot retieve the column code page info from OLE DB provider.If the comopenent supports the "DefaultCodePage" property,the code page from that property will be used .Change the value of the property if the current string code page values are incorrect. If the component does not support the property, the code page from the component's locale ID will be used.
But I created the same mining stucture and processed it successfully in SQL Server 2000. Is it a Compatible bug in SQL Server 2005？
Converting A 6.5 Compatible Db To SQL Server 2005
Feb 7, 2006I'm trying to convert a 6.5 compatible db from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. The issue I'm encountering is that:
1. I cannot simply convert the 6.5 compatible db to SQL Server 2005. I tried restoring from a backup - no success.
2. I tried creating the structure in SQL Server 2005 and then importing the data from SQL Server 2000. Problem is - after importing the data, I then tried creating the primary key and indexes - get a time-out error (which I never got with SQL Server 2000.) I also tried creating the primary key and indexes in SQL Server 2005 FIRST before importing - got errors when trying to import and import failed.
I know this sounds like a data problem but I have no problems working with this 3 gig database in SQL Server 2000.
Can anyone please help? This is a pretty serious problem I need to overcome with the SQL Server 2005 conversion.

SQL Server 2000 To SS05 - License Upgrade
Jan 21, 2008Hi,
We have a product which uses SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition with Per Seat licensing option. Going forward with a new release of the product, we intend to upgrade to SQL Server 2005. Till now our product was being used in non web based scenarios so the Per Seat licensing option helped our case. In the upcoming release which would use SQL Server 2005 we need to break off from the non web based scenario as the product would use SQL Server over internet.
So isn't it correct to go for the Processor based licensing instead of the Per seat licensing ?
If so then what would be the ideal manner to upgrade the license from Per Seat (in SQL Server 2000) license type to Processor based (in SQL Server 2005) license type ?
I have heard of Software Assurance providing assistance in version upgrades. Would it help in case I need to upgrade from one license type to another ? Or is it applicable only in case of upgrade where the license type is fixed ?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Arun

Changing License Key In SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition 64-bit
Apr 28, 2008Hi,
I need to install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition 64-bit running on Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition 64-bit. Instead of installing it on every single machine I thought of installing it on one of them, updating it with all the necessary updates, creating a ghost image of the updated system and database and copying the image on all the other machines.
After doing it I however need to update both the system and SQL Server license keys. And there comes my question whether one can change the SQL Server license key after the installation??

Product Key For SQL Server Standard Edition 2005 Via Open License Agreement
Sep 28, 2007
Hi,
I have a customer, Customer who has purchased SQL Server Standard Edition 2005 via Open License Agreement. The product key is not available with the media.
I checked with eOpen team and confirmed that SQL 2005 does not require product key or Volume License Key for installation.
however, according to the VKB article 331355 titled "eOpen License Web Site" under "Exceptions" it is mentioned as:
SQL Server: The product key is distributed with the media. If the customer did not get a product key with the media, refer them to their reseller. The product key is hidden between two shrink-wrapped CDs.
Need your clarification on this,
How should we provide the key to the customer.
Thanks,
