I'm currently running SQL Server 2005 SP2 with the 3050 hotfix. I just noticed that KB Articles 934458 and 934459 came out, which are more hotfixes for SQL Server 2005 SP2. However, I'm confused.
KB Article 934458 refers to patching versions 3042 - 3053 whereas KB Article 934459 refers to patching versions 3150 - 3158. What's the difference between the 30xx and the 31xx builds? I thought all SQL Server versions used the same build number.
I swear I saw a stored procedure that would tell me what version service pack and what build my sql servers are... Does anybody know how to find out? I think its a transact query... Also, I think I saw a stored procedure that would associate that cryptic string of numbers into text; ex: "SQL 6.5, Service Pack 5"
What is the latest patch level for SQL server 2000?
I am currently at this build level:
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.818 (Intel X86) May 31 2003 16:08:15 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.0 (Build 2195: Service Pack 4)
How can I tell when microsoft bring out a new SQL server hotfix or patch?
Is there any way to restore a database of higher version to lower version.
E.g. I have created a database in sql server 2012, created some tables & procedures in that.I took Full backup of that database. Can I restore it to sql 2008r2 or any lower version.
I know direct restore is not possible, I have to use either import or export option or generating script,but i want to know is there any easy step to do so.
Since some analysis services features are only available in Enterprise version , I have to upgrade my SQL 2005 server from standard edition to enterpise edition.
So I uninstall originial standard version of analysis service and install a Enterprise version. However, the analysis service is still a standard version after installation.
Is it possible to keep data engine as standard version and install a enterprise version of analysis service?
Hello,I have been searching and reading a lots of information on the microsoft website about the different version of SQL server, but still can not make my decision.In term of performance, is there a real big difference between the workgroup and the standard version? The workgroup is limited to 3 GB of RAM while the standard is unlimited, would that really change the performance if my server has 16Gb or RAM?The price difference is pretty substantial so if could only have to buy the workgroup , it would be better.One more question, regarding the type of licence, my server has 2 processors, could I avoid buying 2 licences and get the Server plus CAL instead. I am using this server to host 4 web-application running on SQL server. Each database is about 15 MB.Thanks in adavance for your advises.Arno
I am wondering if it is possible to change from SQL Server Enterprise Evaluation Version to Developer Version. The reason is because the Enterprise Evaluation version expires after 180 days. So if I create reports and cubes in Enterprise Evaluation I can import them into Developer Edition right? Should I remove the Enterprise Evaluation version after 180 days or leave it then install Developer Edition?
I have tried to attatch a database ,created by SQL server Express within a C# application , in SQL server 2005 Enterprise edition, but the following error message appears:

We have a 64bit os machine that we accidently loaded the 32 bit version of sql server on. We now want to upgrade it to 64 bit sql server, but we now have a production database on it. My understanding is that all I have to do is detach the production database, upgrade to 64bit sql server, then reattach the database. Is this really all I have to do?
Can some one here give me more insight about how to upgrade a SQL Server 2005 Standard Version (32 bits) to a SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Version (32 bits) as default instance on a Windows 2003 enterprise OS (32 bits). I want to know what is the easist way and what is the safest way. May I preserve some settings I have for the STD version, or I have to start from strach again to configure the server? Is there any catches, anything I should have attention to (We are using heavily about CLR and fulltext indexing)?
we have automated build on every night. In our solution is SSIS project, where each package is encrypted per password. We call build process per command line like this..
C:ProgrammeMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEdevenv.exe (c:DevelopmentX3\X3.sln /build Release)' in 'c:DevelopmentProjectsDailyBuild
Through build process we get a error:
External Program Failed: C:ProgrammeMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEdevenv.exe (return code was 1):
We think a reason is, that on build of SSIS project must be entered a password. You can wonder for what we need that SSIS packages are part of our build. We hope that on build process is also created Deployment Utility, if so set in dtproject.user. Is it so? Is there any way to create Deployment utility on automated build process? Can be a password provided pre command line?
Does anyone know how to get SQL Server versions, Service pack versionsand the Server that instance of SQL is running on a network. I haveseen some threads on how to list SQL servers in a network but I need tofind more info about these SQL servers.Any help appreciated..!Thx...
Hello, I installed the SQL Server 2k EnterPrise version and developer version on the same version, and the developer version is an instance "Development". How do I expose both of them to internet? Just open both of them to port 1433? And on the client side, just say IP and IP/Development? Do I need specific set up, will they conflict? Thanks,
I downloaded the 101 Samples installation (i.e. 101SamplesCS.msi) from Microsoft's website, which contains SQL Server database files.
While working with the databases in the "Data Access" samples from the 101 Samples projects, I get the following error:
"Database <mdf_name> cannot be upgraded because its non-release version (600) is not supported by this version of SQL Server. You cannot open a database that is incompatible with this version of sqlservr.exe. You must re-create the database..."
I assume the database files were created with a beta or CTP version of SQL Server 2005. Does anyone know where I can get an updated version of these database files or scripts to update them?
We just upgraded 2 sql servers from sql server 2000 sp3a to sql server 2005 build 2153, and merge rep exists between these 2 servers.
However, after sql server upgrade, we had to reinitialize merge replication and now the merge agent is reporting 2 errors
1)
Error messages:
The Merge Agent failed to upgrade triggers, metadata and stored procedures on the Subscriber to versions compatible with SQL Server 2005.

looking inside the sp_MSensure_single_instance stored procedure, it's trying to obtain an exclusive lock on resource 'Merge Agent Name' but fails and returns -1
this is the stored procedure executed by sp_MSensure_single_instance and @retcode = -1 and thus cannot obtain exclusive lock on resource
so i think it's failing because for some reason MSmerge_PAL_role database role does not have enough rights to obtain exclusive lock on necessary resources
i've tried many things to fix this, including scripting out and dropping all merge rep, turning off replication db option and reapplying replication create scripts on the server, and even manually deleting the MSmerge_PAL_role database role but still doesn't work
I have an ssis package that downloads a SQL Server 2000 database and restores it to a SQL 2005 server. Ninety-five percent of the time it runs just fine, but every so often the job fails and I get the following set of error messages in the log file. (I have had to delete some of the proprietary information for this message to satisfy my boss like putting in [Database name] in place of the actual name of the database in the error message).

I have received the error message "Package migration from version 8 to version 6 failed".I have developed a SSIS package with Visual Studio 2013 which gives me PackageFormatVersion of 8. I then deploy my package to the ssisdb catalog that is running on a SQL Server 2012, this works fine but when I try to execute the package the error arises…due to SQL Server 2012 has a PackageFormatVersion of 6 and it can’t run something that has a greater version.I haven’t seen any good solution for this but one that would work for me would be to upgrade the Integration Services Server from 2012 to 2014, leaving everything else in 2012 (database, ssms, ssas, ssrs).Would this solve the package format problem? Would I then be able to execute my packages in the ssisdb catalog?
1-We have sql server 2008 with 2 nodes with cluster(Active/Passive). 2-Due to performance problem we are going to separate the reports from database. 3-I want to create reporting server,as i am new for this pls let me know the step by step process to create reporting server. 4-Is it possible to create new instance for reporting in passive node and shear the cluster resources??
I would like to install this on my server which is a cluster. The server has 2 instances on it. I only want to install it on the dev instance. I got the executable from Microsoft. There is a hotfix.txt file but that doesn't have any installation information. Could someone please help me to find some documentation so that this will only update our dev instance. If there is documentation, could someone please send it to me?
Need some recommendations on . I have been tasked with building some SQL servers. The hardware config is:
4 Quad-core processors 64 GB of RAM (128GB of RAM coming in next group of servers) 4x73GB hard drives.
We normally build the servers with two Raid 1 disk groups. Mirroring the OS on one Raid group and keeping the default pagefile (for crash dumps) and then create another large pagefile on the other Raid group. We have been told from our parent company that we are to build the servers with a RAID 5 config and place the pagefile onto the same raid group as the OS. I know this is wrong and I need evidence to support my thoughts. If anyone has any links to whitepapers or research I would greatly appreciate it.
Now, I checked and verified that my backup version of SQL Server is the same as the version installed on the computer I'm restoring too.
I have SQL Server on a production machine that I backed up and want to test a full restore on a dev machine to make sure it will work when I need it to.
Now that I've run the restore command on my tape backup and go to restart the SQL server service I receive:
Configuration block version 0 is not a valid version number. SQL Server is exiting. Restore the master database or reinstall.
I'm afraid I don't understand why this is happening. If the builds are the same, then shouldn't restoring the MASTER database have worked normally and I'd be able to restart the service now?
I have the trial version of SQL Server 2005 installed and have setup a couple of databases. This trial version will expire in another few weeks. I recently purchased a copy of the software and want to install it. Will I lose my databases, user info, etc? How do I go about installing without losing anything?
I started this thread as the last attempt to sort the issue out.
I have an SSIS package that loads data from a .csv file into my database. It works fine on my developer machine. I start it programmatically or from Management Studio or from Visual Studio, and it works. Then I deploy it to the MSDB database on the computer on which it will have its final place. There again I can start it from Management Studio or from Visual Studio (using the source file), and it works. But when I start it programmatically, it just fails telling me:
Package Warnings: Package Errors: The version of component "****" (11773) is not compatible with this version of the DataFlow. Component "component "Derived Column" (13627)" could not be created and returned error code 0x80070005. Make sure that the component is registered correctly. The component is missing, not registered, not upgradeable, or missing required interfaces. The contact information for this component is "Flat File Source;Microsoft Corporation;Microsoft SqlServer v9; (C) 2005 Microsoft Corporation; All Rights Reserved; http://www.microsoft.com/sql/support;1". component "Agreement File" (11773) failed validation and returned error code 0xC0048021. One or more component failed validation. There were errors during task validation.
Maybe the source of the problem is that this machine is a 64-bit one, while the developer machine is 32-bit one. But why does the package run fine when I start it from Management Studio?
I have 3 tables, a supplier table, a types table and a relationship table between the two..I want to build a query that put the different types in columns, and use a Boolean value to identify if the supplier supplies that type.
Hi,I have a problem, when I want to access to my SQL Server Expressdatabase from my ASP.NET application.My workstation ID is KITOLAP-HPMy username is user01Now I built the following connection String (VB.NET):Dim workstation As String =System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("computername")connectionString = "workstation id=""" & workstation & """;packetsize=4096;user id=user01;integrated security=SSPI;data source=""" &workstation & "SQLExpress"";persist security info=True;initialcatalog=webshop"connection = New SqlConnection(connectionString)Although I put as user id "user01" the application makes an error whenI try to open the connection, saying that the login with user "aspnet"failed.How can I change it so that as login-user "user01" is taken and not"aspnet" or otherwise, how can I create a new user in the SQL Serverdatabase with which I could access the DB??thanks,kito
We are planning to use a 2-node SQL Server 2005 cluster as part of a new Biztalk 2006 project, and I would like some advice regarding SQL Server service packs and editions.
Testing has already been running for some time without problems, but the test environment (a) is not clustered, (b) is using SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition rather than Enterprise and (c) has neither of the SQL Server service packs installed.
As this is a major project for us, my instinct would be to use Enterprise Edition (maximise performance and scalability) and to apply SP2 (because I thought it was best practice to be up-to-date). I would have liked to do this before we go Live so we don't run the risk of having to change afterwards if we hit a problem.
Understandably, the project guys' perspective is this: testing so far has not been affected by SQL Server bugs, and we should go Live with the environment we have tested in, albeit with the planned 2-node cluster which is seen as a 'must have'.
I have trawled Books Online, Technet and other resources without success, so any thoughts or info on required, recommended or preferred combinations of Biztalk 2006 with SQL Server 2005 editions and service packs in a clustered environment would be greatly appreciated - thanks!
I have SQL Server 2005 Standard installed on a Windows XP SP2 PC. I tried to install the SP1 upgrade from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=CB6C71EA-D649-47FF-9176-E7CAC58FD4BC&displaylang=en, which is listed as build 2047. I installed the upgrade and each upgraded component reported success, and I rebooted the PC. However, checking the version of my SQL Server as per KB321185 results in version 9.00.2040.00. There are errors at the end of the SQL9_Hotfix_KB913090_sqlrun_sql.msp.log log file as follows :

Attempting to reinstall SP1 resulted in the same errors. I need to fully upgrade to build 2047 so that I can install the cumulative hotfix build 2153. Does anyone have suggestions as to what causes this behavior?
