Jobs not running within SQL Server Agent on SQL7 despite being schedulled. The only explanation
I can think of for causing this is due to a date correction on the NT Server ( backwards ) by the NT Administrator.
I can run jobs manually, but the scheduled run times are being ignored.
I'm hoping that the jobs will start running again as schedulled when the system catches up to the date it was
previously at.
Has anyone had experiences of this and found a way to get things running again ?
The following query runs fine on sql 7.0 but it kind of hangs/keeps running without any output on sql server 2000
---------------------
Set @cmd = 'Update ABCD Set
'+@day+'_LB = IsNull(LB,0),
'+@day+'_UT = IsNull(UNIT,0)
From tempData as T
Where T.STORE_NUM = ABCD.STORE_NUM And T.ITM_ID = ABCD.UPC'
execute (@cmd)
------------------------------------
But if we hard code the @day parameter and run the query like this it runs very fast on sql 2000....
Update ABCD Set THIRD_LB = IsNull(LB,0),
THIRD_UT = IsNull(UNIT,0)
From tempData as T
Where T.STORE_NUM = ABCD.STORE_NUM And T.ITM_ID = ABCD.UPC

Hi All,
I have an issue where I am told that we should run Exchange/IIS/MS SQL7/Site Server on same physical PC (cost cutting analysis).
Could anyone please tell me in a few words why I should not run the above mentioned services on the same physical computer ?
I would appreciate any input.

We are running SQL 7 on a Windows NT Server. If you copy a 25Mb filefrom this machine to a W2K server, the file copy takes over 5 minuteson a 100Mpbs switched network.Copying the same file to another NT server takes only seconds, andcopying the same file to the W2K server from the 2nd NT server, (whichis not running SQL) takes only seconds also.Has anyone any ideas as to why file copying between this machine and aW2K one will take so long. It is repliacted on 5 further w2K machines.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow can I copy a SQL 7 database from one server to another? Please tell me all the ways because I've tried the obvious and it doesn't work. (backup and restore - won't go from one server to another, DTS transfer object Wizard - does a whole pile of errors and doesn't do stored proceedures and trigures). Thanks for help in advance. Also, what is the email address to post to the listserv and where is the FAQ for SQL7? Most of my listserv's tell you where to post right at the bottom of the digest I get - any chance you guys would do that with this list? Thanks again.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIn my environment, there is maintenance plan configured on one of the server and while running DBCC checkdb on a database of size around 200GB, log file usage of tempdb is increasing and causing the maintenance job to fail.
What can I do to make the maintenance job run successfully, size of the tempdb database is only 50GB and recovery model is set to simple. It cannot be increased as the mount point on which it is residing is 50GB.
If I start a long running query running on a background thread is there a way to abort the query so that it does not continue running on SQL server?
The query would be running on SQL Server 2005 from a Windows form application using the Background worker component. So the query would have been started from the background workers DoWork event using ado.net. If the user clicks an abort button in the UI I would want the query to die so that it does not continue to use sql server resources.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
One of my stored procs, taking one parameter, is running about 2+ minutes. But if I run the same script in the stored proc with the same parameter hardcoded, the query only runs in a couple of seconds. The execution plans are different as well. Any reason why this could happen? TIA.

After installing SP2 we encounter a problem with MMC. When selecting a DB we recieve a RunTime error? And the DB items/properties are not shown.

Is MS SQL 7.0 have any difference/incompatibility problem with the BackOffice's SQL 7.0?
anybody can clarify this to me please... tq!
I am going to install SQL7.0 on the current NT4.0 with SQL6.5 on it by uninstalling SQL6.5 first and then installing (not upgrading through Wizard) SQL7.0.
Here are the questions I need help with:
1. Should I convert the database after the installation of SQL7.0 or directly restore the SQL6.5 databases backup?
2. If I need to convert the databases, How and in what way?
3. Which way is better upgrade or installation?
Thank you ahead of time

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi folks. Got a real doozy going. One of the network techs reinstalled NT4 SP5 on a server. This reverted the SQL driver back to 2.something. Now sqlserveragent jobs will not run.
I have tried to instal MDAC 2.5, but it doesn't change the driver up to the new 3.xxx driver. I searched around on here and folks said that you have to move the MDAC executable to a new directory. for the new MDAC I don't see MDAC.EXE. I did find MDAC.COM and renamed that. Tried to rerun MDAC 2.5 but still got the old SQLSRV32.Dll.
Uninstalled SQLServer and reinstalled. still got the old SQLSRV32.Dll.
Tried to apply SQLServer SP1. It died.
Found that I am to shutdown some services. Did that. SP1 still dies.
Tried to apply SQLSERVER SP2. It tries to pick up where it died and it dies again.
SO, I'm currently uninstalling SQLServer, reboot, installing SQLServer, reboot, Trying SP2 again.
Didn't think that it was brain surgery just to install a new flippin version of the ODBC driver.. SHEEZ!!!!
Does anyone know of a sp similar to sp_helprevdatabase (SQL 6.5) for SQL 7.0? Will I need to use SQLDMO or can I use DTS somehow.

Starting with Win2k you are not suppossed to have to install MDAC, as it comes with the OS. What about when I install SQL7 and it automatically installs MDAC. Do I have to reinstall MDAC in this case?

Is there any way in which I can move an objects/ data to another
filegroup using transact sql?
I have created a table such that the data is on a secondary filegroup.
But the table has image and text data and this data is going to
the PRIMARY filegroup.
I tried chnging the filegroup for the text data but this property but does not change(I did it through EM).
As a result, the disk which contains the primary filegroup is getting filled up.
I have configured my database such that the primary file group is on one disk and the secondary on another and the log on the same disk as the primary filegroup.
I have given lesser space to the primary file group and more space to the secondary filegroup.
help on this is greatly appreciated because my system is rapidly growing with respect to data.
thanks and best regards

Has anybody had any problems with mmc crashing when running Enterprise Manager on SQL Server 7.0/SP1? This occurs on a fairly regular basis on several of our development NT client machines (NT SP4 and SP5). We are running Version 1.1 of mmc. Is there a later version (or service pack) we need to be using?
Any comments on this would be appreciated.
Thanks
I am attempting to connect to sql7 using isql_w and integrated security. No go. If I try to connect using standard security, all goes well. I am using tpc/ip, but if I switch to multiprotocal with integrated security, it works. Why won't integrated security work with tcp/ip?

Guys,
I'm evaluating SQL 7.0 on a Win95 machine. I have a dump file of my 6.5 databases which I would like to port to my 7.0 machine, unfortunately when I tried to run the restore command on SQL 7.0's EM, I got an error saying that the directory which I am restoring from is already existing.
Is there a workaround to directly restore my 6.5 dump to 7.0?
Any help will be grately appreciated!

Hi all,
We had implemented a customized locking mechanism on our apps in SQL.6.5 which worked fine. But, we couldnt implement row-level locking, and hence had some performance problems. Can someone suggest how I can implement the row-level locking in SQL.7.0? Should I go for cutomised set-up again, or should I leave to the SQL server to take care of locking ? How has the experience been with other users?
Thanks
Rnathan
