I have a datadabase with 1 datafile from 60Gb. Is it a good thing(preformance) to split up this datafile in smaller datafiles from 6Gb each?
I don't have separete diskslices so a can't spread my datafiles on my disks but i only need to know if a datafile from 60Gb sin't too big for MSSQL2000.
Okay heres the problem I'm facing. I have GoDaddy as my hosting company. They only support MSSQL2000 but I just recently bought MSSQL2005 Developer Edition. And I was wondering what is the main difference between them two. I didn't find anything on Google. And the only thing is I can't find a better host. Cause I have 50GB of space and 500GB of bandwidth. And I don't want to lose that for just MSSQL2005 support cause my host doesn't/ Have that. So im stuck like chuck. Is there really any difference?
I founded couple thread about splitting but not find same situation what i have. I have server with Raid10 with big storage massive, and Test server with two 30Gb HardDrives (not into a Raid or Somethink). I have situation when in real server database grown over 30Gb and now i can not restore database copy into a test server because i have one big Data File.
Can i split somehow 35Gb Data file when i restore to test server to 25Gb and 10Gb ???
Hi groupI want to make a new serverinstance, but based on some old files from aprevious instance I once had from a SQL I scrapped.I only know how to use the SQL Server enterprise manager console, and Ihaven't found any tools in there to do that.Any suggestion will be more than welcome.Adrian
When I install a database I set up datafiles to another volume with greater capacity. I would like to know about the report service, there is need for datafiles be placed in another volume, or it may be placed in the same volume of the operating system?
Hey guys i want to relocate my database datafile and transaction logs from C: drive to D:
From what i have in mind , correct me if i am wrong: First I will create the same folder on D drive as they are on C drive then copy the datafile from C to D , then come back and change the paths on the database files to point on D.
Hello,I am trying to clean up a database I inherited.I have an 80GB SQL 2000 database with 20 datafiles each 4096 in size. Ihave been able to remove unneeded data and am now trying to clean up.If I do a Shrink on each datafile would able to recover on average 2gbout of 4g, however I would prefer to have 10 full datafiles and 10empty. (or better yet 5 full 8GB datafiles and 15 empty)Can someone point me in the right direction on how to move the dataaround so that dont have 20 partially filled datafiles?I have noticed that I can shrink a single file and use the "empty thefile option (and move data to other files in the group)." option. Ihave already done this to the last 2 datafiles as a test but not surehow to do this on a large scale. I have also set the 1st 10 datafilesto be able to grow to 8 GB.For lack of a better way to say this, Is there a way to defrag orreorganize the data ables so everything "moves to the front".BTW, I have already run a maintenance plan to reorganize the data andindex pages.
Hi, I have formatted my server because of serious problem and i did not backup my database. I have only a phisical copy of the disk containing data on another disk. :( How I can recover my db? Thank you in advance.
I am trying to resize a database initial log file from 500M to 2M. I€™m using€?
ALTER DATABASE <DBNAME> MODIFY FILE ( NAME = <DBLOGFILENAME, SIZE = 2 ) "
And I'm getting "MODIFY FILE failed. Specified size is less than current size." I tried going into the database properties and setting the log file to 2M, but it doesn€™t keep the changes.
Hi May I ask how to export MSSQL2000 DB to *.sql with all existing data? As I built the DB on local machine, the remote machine only provide SQL Server Web Admin which has Query Analyzer only. I can export a *.sql file, but there are no data. Thanks for help
Hi! I am a newbie using MSQL so please patience. I compact my database with DATABASE SHRINK(DB,10) BACKUP LOG data WITH TRUNCATE DATABASE SHRINK(DB,10)
When I see the properties of my DB I see something strange 1- My log always has 1 mb of space 2- Database properties show me this information:
Size: 21639.23MB Space Available: 782.23
Backup Last database backup: 9/28/2007 1:44am Last transaction log backup 6/9/2007 12:47 pm
I am so afraid because this says that I just have 782.23MB but my disk has 30GB yet.
Ok, so this 3rd party application we have exhibits some interesting behavior; when you amend any table through it's interface it drops and re-adds the object; meaning all permissions to the object are also removed. (Just take my word for it when I say that the table changes have to be done through this app).
Now, I've built a little application that hooks into this using an SQL Server authenticated user account with SELECT only permission on particular tables. Currently the app uses sprocs to access data. However, when changes were made to the schema last week; the application, obviously, received permission errors and ground to a nice halt.
I know that in 2005 we have the lovely EXECUTE AS statement; but I'm running a 65compaability database here and don't have that functionality.
Any ideas on how I can sort this mess out?
Hope I explained this well enough, let me know if you need any more info
Hi, I have a bunch of data from tables on MS SQL 2000 and i want to transfer this data to my new database running on MS SQL 2005. How do i perform bcp on this? thanks :D
Hi Group,I developed a intranet site using MSSQL7/win2000 some time ago.The target environment used MSSQL2000/8.We were (almost painlessly) able to import the db-scheme and data from 7to 8. (Bravo MSSQL)Now I need to do some upgrading on the application and I would like tohave a copy of the database from MSSQL2000/8 to MSSQL7.Is that also possible?Or should I download Microsoft SQL Server Express and use that insteadof my MSSQL7? Is it better?I hope I can get the relationsheet too (that one with Foreign Keysmapped in a nice graphical way).Any advise highly appreciated.I am good with Postgresql, but my MSSQL skills leave a lot to bedesired. :-/For an outsider like me the many versions and OS's are quite confusing.Do I need special commands on MSSQL2000/8 to create a MSSQL7 compatibleexport?Thanks in advance!Regards,Erwin Moller

Hi.. Never used MSSQL 2000 db. I have this website that uses mssql2000. I want to export it and convert db in mysql. Please help me understand how i can do that. I have all login info..
I have mssql2000 running on a Windows 2003 server and now have a requirement to run an Oracle 10g database as well. Is it possible to run both mssql2000 and oracle 10g on the same server without running into any conflicts or will the two programs cause errors with each other?
Anyone have any experience with this? Oracle says it's technically possible but the tech had never seen it done.
Hi, I'm executing a stored procedure in my local LAN which executes another one in a loop and I update a Table. The number of loops is about 6300. This operation takes about 25 seconds in my local LAN. Then I try to execute though in a VPN which has an upload speed of 256 kbps. I open query analyser connect to the remote server which is must faster than mine and I just write exec mystoredprocname in order to execute the procedure. The performance is very very slow. In 7 minutes 180 loops are completed out or 6300. I really cannot understand this. What is the reason of such slow perfomance?? My ADSL model displays no activity when the procedure is executed. I just use the PRINT method in MSSQL in order to display the progress of the operation. I tried to comment it out but with no difference. I also use SET NOCOUNT ON in order not to display the update results.
Can someone explain me the cause for this? Are there some tricks in order to improve the performance when a slow connection is used like a ADSL with a static IP? It seems that something wrong is happening here.
Hello!Does anybody know whether mssql2000 and emc mirrorvew _certified_ forjoint work?(Mirrorview is a fc-based remote mirroring solution)I mean is it supported from the MS point of view to put mssqldatafiles on emc mirrorview volumes?For example Oracle corp. has "Oracle Compatible Remote MirroringTechnologies" certification.But what about MS?
(MSSQL2000) I have read the transaction/locking sections in theMS-help, online and several books. What I want to understand is thetransaction behavior in single statements [not a BEGIN TRANSACTIONStatement1, Statement2... COMMIT].If I have a Table: "Letters" with 1 column "L" and the table presentlyhas rows{A,B,C,D}Case 1 (Insert):First start transaction T1 "SELECT * FROM Letters"Next start transaction T2 [separate connection] "INSERT INTO LettersVALUES( 'Z' )"Is it possible that T2 ends before T1 and the select returns{A,B,C,D,Z}Is it possible that T1 ends before T2 and the select returns{A,B,C,D} [No 'Z']Is this a race condition and I need to use a TABLOCK or TABLOCKX;and are TABLOCK/TABLOCKX only hints? I mean does the use of TABLOCKguarantee a lock on the table? Do I need to use 'SET TRANSACTIONISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE' and if I use 'TRANSACTION ISOLATIONLEVEL' is there a means of telling the system which tables I willtouch so that I can avoid a deadlock [upfront tell the system whattables I need to lock so there is not a race later]?Case 2 (Delete basically the same):First start transaction T1 "SELECT * FROM Letters"Next start transaction T2 "DELETE FROM Letters L = 'D'"Is it possible that T2 ends before T1 and the select returns {A,B,C}[No 'D']Is it possible that T1 ends before T2 and the select returns{A,B,C,D}Case 3 (Update basically the same):First start transaction T1 "SELECT * FROM Letters"Next start transaction T2 "UPDATE Letters SET L = 'Z'"Is it possible that T2 ends before T1 and the select returns{A,B,Z,Z} [Some letters were seen to become 'Z']Is it possible that T1 ends before T2 and the select returns{A,B,C,D}
Here I got some problems with my application. (ASP & English Version SQL Server 2000)
As we are using English MSSQL Server 2000, we got some new functions and we have to facilitate support of Chinese characters in the DB. I have set the collation for those Chinese fields already and those queries or Stored Procs for Chinese are working fine, ONLY if I execute them in Enterprise Manager. Chinese characters can be displayed in the relevant tables.
However here comes the big problem and I got really frustrated. As we will provide user interface in ASP pages, we 'll let users to insert the information which will be sent to the DB. If there's Chinese characters in the query string, the Chinese characters added in the DB would be garbled.
e.g. EXECUTE proc_TestChinese 'XYZ', 'test123' (assume XYZ be those Chinese words)
I am wondering if there's any way I can solve this problem. Should I add special handling for these Chinese words? I have set the ASP pages in UTF-8 or Big5 encoding but it doesn't help. Hope you experts can show me the way out of the mess. Thanks in advance!

I was using MSSQL7 for a long period. I upsized to MSSQL7 from Access some years ago. Without any particular reason when writing code in stored procedures, when I wanred to select some records having a bit column to true I used the syntax bitcolumn=-1 (and not bitcolumn=1). This behavior was used in Access. Everything worked fine. Then I moved to MSSQL2000 and by restoring the MSSQL7 database I had no problem. However, in order to use some features of MSSQL2000 I had to run the sp sp_dbcmptlevel <database>, 80 After that the condition bitcolumn=-1 didn't work. Can anyone verify this behavior, since I have to make dozens of changes in my stored procedures and triggers???

SELECT * FROM TA a WHERE a.rx=264886 and AN= (select max(AN) FROM TA where rx=a.rx)
I have a table TA with 8+ million rows and there is clustered PK on (rx, AN) columns. The count on rx=264886 is 6000+ rows. This query takes about 1 to 2 minutes to fetch data. Can anyone suggest how to improve performance and fetch data faster?
Hi AllI need to aggregate a query to produce the following:Workplace AvgM100 4.7M120 3.45Which would be a normal aggregate:SELECT Workplace, Avg(VALUE)FROM PRODGROUP BY WorkplaceHowever I need the average to only be based on the most recent 20results from each of the Workplace groups.I've never had to do something like this before so can't think of anyway to only take off the most recent 20 for each group (ordered byDate). It doesn't really matter if there were 25 spread across 2 daysI would just cut the list at 20 VALUEs as there is no time componentinvloved.Is there any way to do a sub-query that uses select top 20 ... foreach group that could then be aggregated?I would prefer to do it through a select statement rather than havingto use a stored procedure using and variables, etc which I can do. Thetable is not huge but is growing rapidly so I'm concerned thatanything using dyamic SQL or similar would be become painfully as thenumber of groups grows to 5,000 or more.If anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance,Bevan
