SQL Server 6.5 And Windows 2000 Professional
Jun 28, 2000Currently, I have the client side of SQL Server 6.5 (Enteprise Manager, Security Manager, Books Online, etc.) installed and running under Windows NT 4.0 Workstation. When I attempt to install the same package under Windows 2000 Professional I get the following message - This program does not run correctly on this version of windows. To continue, click Run Program. Has anyone sucessfully installed this under Windows 2000 Professional? Are there any patches or service packs to apply? Thanks.

Jun 19, 2006Just curious if anyone out there has had success running a Distributed Transaction on Windows 2000 Professional SP4 lately?
I have come to the conclusion that is is virutally impossible. I am running MSDE on a Win2k Pro machine and trying to run a distributed transaction via linked server and am getting the
"The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction."
error. Yes I have been scouring the web looking for answers and have implemented pretty much everything I have run accross... and Yes the MSDTC service is started on both machines... BTW: If I run the procedure on XP it works great!!!
I am wondering if anyone even uses Win2k Pro anymore let alone trying to run a distributed tarnsaction on the darn thing.
If anyone out there has it running let me know I would love to chat with you for a minute or two.

SQL Express Minimum Requirements Warning On Windows 2000 Professional???
Apr 1, 2006The computers here at work run Windows 2000 5.00.2195 SP4. Everything checks out with the minimum requirements at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/sqlreadme/#_3462_setup_issues_238p
However, one of the "Reports" from the installation says the machine does not meet the minimum requirements, but provides no details. It installs and I have Admin rights on this machine, but I can't even connect to the Northwind database that I downloaded.
Is this due to our logging process where the "system" is actually in another country? (ie, "CITYNAME/Username"
Any help is appreciated!

Excel 2007 Documents Not Displayed In Windows XP Professional Sp2 Start Menu Recent Documents List
Jan 26, 2007Excel 2007 Documents Not Displayed in Windows XP Professional sp2
Start Menu's Recent Documents List:
Dear Microsoft Support:
I can't figure out how to get recently used Excel 2007 (new file formats) documents to show up in the Windows XP Professional (sp2) Start Menu's Recent Documents List. I checked the Internet, the knowledgebase, many parts of the MS web site, etc. for an answer but can't find one.
Are Excel 2007 documents supposed to show up in the XP Start Menu's Recent Document List? Is this a bug or do I have to do some sort of configuration to make it do so? If it's a bug, when will a fix be available?
Are these new Excel 2007 files filtered out like EXE files are which will not appear in the Recent Document List?
The Excel 2007 file types are listed in the Registry.
This question is also posted on Experts-Exchange...No solutions yet.
Thanks.
Jim.

Also, I want to install SQL 7.0 in my home PC. should I install it with Win 2000 professional or Server version?

View 1 Replies View RelatedMS SQL - Professional Assistance Required Concerning Capacity.
Oct 4, 2004Hi there,
We are currently developing a E-Com research site where subscribed members can conduct market research. The web site is developed and ready to go, however we are undecided what is required on the Database side and could do with some of your expert help.
Users will be conducting research on our MS SQL database. The database holds every product sale made by a select number of consumer good companies. The database holds 12 million records at any one time, however overall the database is very static and is not updated online. We intend to only store 1 months data, therefore on a weekly basis we delete old & add new records.
We are offering three categories of searches on the DB.
1. By Seller
2. By Category (i.e. Hair Care, Laundry etc)
3. By Sale.
The first two searches are not performance intensive as they are compiled and stored in the database - therefore no need for calculation online. Our main concern is the 3rd report. This report is where we allow the user to search for a specified search string. Therefore in the main table that holds all the sales, we have a full-text index for the field "Product Description".
What we are unclear on is the Capacity requirements regarding providing such functionality. I.e What server do we require?
We have researched many articles and have absorbed all the information regarding multiple disk controllers, lots of memory etc.. etc.. However we still have not been able to obtain an idea on what Server would serve our purposes. For example: would the following server do the job?
2 x 2.4Ghz Hyper-threading Xeon CPUs with 512Kb Cache and 400MHz System Bus
2GB Samsung RAMBUS 800-45 Memory (RIMMS / RDRAM)
A lot is determined by the usage, i.e. how many queries are executed per minute etc. At present we do not have a clear idea on the number of users. However we are not truely concerned about this as the 3rd report needs to execute and return within a short period of time. That is our main concern.
Therefore our question is as follows: If you were going to host a database that consisted of 12 million records & full-text indexing which had to be queried in a few seconds, what would you purchase?
We ask you to consider that funds are extremely tight and although the new latest server may do the job, it is most likely out of our budget. We are looking for the most cost effective solution but still statisfying the purpose.
Kind regards
Angus
Novice Question. This Should Take About 5 Seconds For A DB Professional.
Jun 4, 2007I'm sure this problem borders on retarded for most readers of this form, but here it is:
I have table with contest and another table with user ratings on those contests.
Contests: ContestID, CreatorUserID, Title
Ratings: ContestID, UserID, Rating
If I
SELECT Contests.*, Ratings.*
FROM Contests INNER JOIN Ratings ON Contests.ContestID = Ratings.ContestID
WHERE (Ratings.UserID = '1')
This only returns the contests that User 1 has rated. But I need all contests. If the user hasn't rated one, I want the result set to show Rating = NULL. The problem is that if a user hasn't rated a contest, that ContestID does not exist in the Ratings table.
Can someone please show me how to solve this?
Thanks!

View 1 Replies View RelatedBought And Installed VS2005 Professional - There Is No Management Studio Got Installed In The SQL Express.!
Jan 26, 2006Hi Friends,
I have a question. At my home computer i downloaded and installed VWD. As usual it also installed Sqlexpress as part of the installation(i checked the option). Later on i downloaded Management studio separately so i am fine with my home computer as every thing is free.
But at work we decided to develop application using VS 2005 and Sqlserver 2005. So we bought and installed VS2005 professional edition at work and it also installed Sqlexpress during the installation as a defualt desktop engine. I am fine with that too. But i am not understing where do i get the Management studio? Is it some thing i could get it off the web for free or what? I am not sure we would have an option while installing the VS 2005 professional that also does install management studio and we need to check that option. I am not sure if we could get the management studion off the web for free and and evelop applications.
Please advise. Thanks -L

View 3 Replies View RelatedPackage Execution Fails In Windows Service But Runs Fine As A Windows Application.
Jun 23, 2006I am attempting to write a Windows service that watches a database for uploaded files to import. When a new file is found, the corresponding SSIS package is run from the file system with variables passed through. I started development as a Windows app and copied the functionality to a service.
The app runs fine. The service does not. I get a "Failure" each time a package is executed. Everything is identical behind the scenes with the obvious exceptions that OnStart and OnStop handlers are buttons in the app. I added a script task at the beginning of one of the SSIS packages to notify me that it is even running at all. It doesn't even hit that initial task.
Again, the app will run all packages just fine. The data is imported and the results return as "Success."
The following is the code executing the package. Any help is appreciated. I've been banging my head on this one for a few days now. (Is there a tag to format a code sample?)
Dim pkgLocation As String
Dim pkg As New Package
Dim app As New Application
Dim pkgResults As DTSExecResult
pkgLocation = sPackageFolder & PackageName & ".dtsx"
pkg = app.LoadPackage(pkgLocation, Nothing)
Dim vars As Variables = pkg.Variables
vars("ImportId").Value = ImportId

Now the desktop app needs to open and update the .SDF file that is stored on the Windows Mobile device. (Device will be docked via USB.)
What format would the path to the .SDF look like that the WinForms application would need to specify in order to open it?

Memory Configurations For SQL Server 2005 EE X64 With SQL Server 2000 EE X32 On Windows Server EE X64 Server
Apr 20, 2007My server is a dual AMD x64 2.19 GHz with 8 GB RAM running under Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with service pack 1 installed. We have SQL 2000 32-bit Enterprise installed in the default instance. AWE is enabled using Dynamically configured SQL Server memory with 6215 MB minimum memory and 6656 maximum memory settings.
I have now installed, side-by-side, SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition in a separate named instance. Everything is running fine but I believe SQL Server2005 could run faster and need to ensure I am giving it plenty of resources. I realize AWE is not needed with SQL Server 2005 and I have seen suggestions to grant the SQL Server account the 'lock pages in memory' rights. This box only runs the SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 server databases and I would like to ensure, if possible, that each is splitting the available memory equally, at least until we can retire SQL Server 2000 next year. Any suggestions?
