I've got a few SQL Servers at work which are development servers using SQL Server Standard Edition. I would like to downgrade them to SQL Server Developer Edition to save the Standard Edition licenses for production purposes. However, i do not wish to uninstall and reinstall SQL Server Developer Edition, restore all the dbs. Is there a way to change the version of the SQL Server ?
View 2 RepliesWe are in need of a solution to our problem. We are working for a customer and cannot use their database to work on during development. We have copied the layout and made a sample db for our development.
Rather than writing down all the changes we make to our own db and then making the same changes to the customer's, is there a better way? Can we use something like sourcesafe?
Thankyou
Hi All,
Can we have 2 versions of SQL Server on the same server? Example, can I install SQL Server 2000 and 2005 on the same server? Please let me know about all the combinations possible/not possible.
Thanks a lot.

Is there a way to do the following -- I need to be able to update a table based on a selection by a DDL. So here are my two update queries:
1. Update RequestData Set Approved = True Where DeptID = @DeptID2. Update RequestData Set Approved = True (Yes I need to be able to do all of the rows at once.)
But it's all based on the selection of the DDL---I really don't want to have to create two seperate sql commands any ideas?
Is there a way to remove old versions of a DTS package without rewriting the entire package?
These packages run fine but take up more space than I am willing to allocate.
I understand the SANs are only Supported by SQL Server 2000 Enterprise and no other versions of SQL, can anyone supply information to the contrary please?

I can see that SQL server 2000 trial is available for download, but I need to try out 7 for a particular project at work. Is this available for trial download? (Has it ever been?)
Thanks.
Hi all...
I'm a MySQL user and I want to switch to MS SQL Server, I heared that there is more than one type of MS SQL Server and one or two can be downloaded for free. Can someone tell me the different types of MS SQL Server and where can I download those free versions?
Hi,
Our server has SQL Server 2003 installed, I'd like to use SQL Server Express 2005 as I'm about to try and learn ASP.NET and most tutorials use that.
Will installing Express 2005 conflict with the Server 2003? Can both version be run on one server?
Thanks.
I'm running a SQL 7 db on a LAN in city A with other users accessing it fromanother city (city B) over a WAN. Obviously the WAN users are getting muchslower access to the data. One thing I was wondering was if it was possibleto have two versions of the database, one on each server, and have themautomatically synchronize as users at each location make changes. Or, ifthat's not possible, then at least have the city B users get any changesthat the city A users get as they are made.Thanks for any input.Neil

View 3 Replies View Related I have a server with sql 2000 and 2005 installed on it. When I try to connect to the msde 2000 database with an app or with managment studio express I get the following error
"An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.

We will be upgrading from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. From what I have read, as part of the installation of SQL 2005 we will be installing the .Net framework 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005.
We currently have production .Net applications which were developed in Visual Studio 2003 with the .Net framework 1.1.
We plan at some point to upgrade our applications to Visual Basic 2005, but we were planning on upgrading to SQL 2005 first.
I have a couple of questions about this.
1) We are a small shop and the same server which hosts our production applications also hosts SQL server for our model office and test applications. Can we have both versions of the common language runtime running on the same server?
2) Our .Net applications access the SQL data through stored procedures or views. I have run the Upgrade Advisor and it does not look as though there are any signficant upgrade issues with our SQL database objects, so we are tentatively planning on changing the compatibility levels of our databases to 90 after they are imported to SQL 2005. Assuming we take care of any SQL issues that we do have with our database objects, should we expect to encounter problems running our existing applications, under the older version of vb.net, and accessing our databases once we have upgraded to SQL 2005? (Of course we plan to test everything, but I just wanted to know if we should anticipate anything in particular.)
Thanks.

SQL 2000 Client tools SQL7 SP3 Server back-end.
I have a DTS Package created with SQL2000 client tools, which contains a SQL connection and a sql task (exec sp_who2). When I run the package on my PC it works, when I run the package via SQL Agent it comes back with :-
DTSRun: Loading... Error: -2147287038 (80030002); Provider Error: 0 (0) Error string: The system cannot find the file specified. Error source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package Help file: sqldts.hlp Help context: 713. Process Exit Code 1. The step failed.
I am not using any files. The DTS Package is called PMC_Test
Here is the dtsrun syntax from the SQL Agent job.
DTSRun /S "APP003" /N "PMC_Test" /E
When I try and open the DTS package using SQL7 client tools I get the same error message.
I'm trying to correct an error that a user is getting when running SQL Server 7.0 SP3, Desktop edition/ Windows NT 4.0 SP6. The error says that C:WINNTSYSTEM32odbcint.dll and C:WINNTSYSTEM32odbccp32.dll are different versions. I tried to install MDAC 2.5 sp1 to correct this problem but this message continues throughout the install. This is causing sqlagent service to hang. Any ideas of how to reinstall ODBC components without reinstalling the OS?

I know this is a very basic question for all of you but I need help.
I am a CPA working with a client to select an accounting & project management software for a construction client. In the top 5 choices, there are 2 that require MS SQL Server as the DB. This client will have about 10-20 users, including project managers & accounting personnel but by DB standards transaction volumes will be low. The company has a few large projects. There is no inhouse IT staff; network administration is outsourced.
The question on the table is this? How much more difficult is it to use MS SQL server in this environment? If all of the client's requirements can be met using a run-time version of Sybase, Pervasive, or FoxPro, isn't this the simplest solution. I don't want to recommend an elephant if it is not needed. I would appreciate your opinion....Thanks

Hello,We are trying to set up replication between different versions of SQLServer (7 & 2000).This is how the 2 servers are now setup:DB1 - External web-server w/SQL Server 7DB2 - Internal server w/SQL Server 2000REPLICATION SETUPThis is how we need the replication to be set up. They are allTransactional Replications.DISTRIBUTION:This is set up on DB2, which is running on 2000WITH PUBLISHERS ON DB1, AND PULL SUBSCRIPTIONS ON DB2:dbo.Employment_App & dbo.Employ_Jobs (together in one replication)dbo.FeedbackNOTE: This set of replications work some of the time, but make DB1 &DB2 very slow when running. A lot of times, the jobs say "RetryingJob", but they usually will eventually work.WITH PUBLISHERS AND PUSH SUBSCRIPTIONS ON DB2:dbo.Jobsdbo.Releasesdbo.SearchNOTE: This set of replications used to work when DB1 & DB2 both ran onSQL Server 7 with 2000 Enterprise Manager's. But since we moved thedata to an internal server (DB2) that runs on 2000, it doesn't work atall.We've researched the problem, and found an article by MS called"Replication Between Different Versions of SQL Server" athttp://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...plimpl_4joy.aspthat states that this setup should be possible (on Combination 3 forTransactional Replications).But it's not working at all. Are there some steps that we need tocheck to have replication setup between 2 servers running on differentversions of SQL Server (7 & 2000)? Any & all help & advice isappreciated. Thanks.KWilliams

View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,I've got installed Win 2003 SBS Premium with the SQL Server 2000 on a servermachine. It works almost fine, except the application which uses the SQLServer. The main part of the application runs (since the last update) fine,but other tools of that application (database import and the databasemanager for check and rebuild) doesn't. They hang up or kill the database.Our software developer says that these problems are in correlation with theserver os. But there won't be any problem if we install Win 2000 Server andadd an additional SQL Server 2000.Finally my question is: Are there any differences between the SQL Server2000 Versions, which are sold (a) as a single product, (b) as part of theWin 2003 SBS Premium package and (c) as part of other Server versions?Thanks in Advance,Martin

Hi Guys,
I need to detect what version/ or versions of SQL Server are installed on a machine before I can install my software. I am currently looking for SQL Server 2000 / SQL Server 2005 /SQL Server Express Edition & SQL Server 2008 CTP (for the time). How do I find this out. Is SQL-DMO the way forward or should this be some WMI script. I would appreciate any pointers/scripts etc.
I have read a lot of people mentioning using @@version from a query window but as I need the software to do this on first start up can this work for all versions
Thanks in advance
It looks like 3.5 is the most current version of SSCE. Does this version support stored procedures? Are there plans for a new version of SSCE with Sql Server 2008? Will that version support stored procedures? Thanks!
View 3 Replies View RelatedDo you find that there is a big difference between the different
versions of SQL server (6.5, 7, 2000, 2005) as is between Microsoft

Or is the difference in SQL server minimal and very small compared to the programming languages I mentioned.

As usual, I'm thinking in terms of Sql2k-dts and...
I am learning SQL Server 2005 Express, and want to use the Northwind data base as used in many code examples. I wanted to attach the Northwind data base via SQL Management Studio, but cannot find a Northwind.mdf file.
When I do a search using 'Northwind', I see there are already a couple of different versions of Northwind already loaded. One appears to be associated with SQL Server Mobile Edition (Samples folder) and another seems to be associated with Visual Studio 8SDKv2.0Quickstart.
Can I use one of these existing Northwind databases (none have .mdf extention) for SQL Server 2005 or do I need to download yet another version?
I have sql server 2000 developer, sql server 2005 (workgroup, standard and enterprise), express and compact 3.5
and i need to test 2000, 2005 express and a full version of 2005 and compact all on the same machine.
Has anyone done something like this and are there any issues with this?
i have seen some threads about 2000 and 2005 being fine as long as one is a default instance and one is a named instance. Would i be able to do the same with say express being the default instance and then 2000 and 2005 both having named instances? And is there a particular order i should install? I already have 2005 express as the default instance and compact installed already.
Thank you
Jeff
