We have an active database that sits on SQL Server 2000 that currently has per seat license...but now want to switch to per processor.
If I go to ControlSQL Server 2000 License Set up...it doe not give me the option to choose per processor.
Do I need to un-install/re-install SQL Server 2000 and choose the per processor choice and then re-attach our database ?
It seems like a lot of work..please advise.
Thank you
We have a MSSQL with per seat license of 20. The MSSQL is sitting in the same machine as the asp.net.
Does that mean that the the no. of connections and Max Pool Size are limited up to 20 only?
Thanks,

Hi,
I have a SQL server installed in per server license mode... I am getting some error saying
"THE MAXIMUM SIMULTANEIOUS USER COUNT OF 1 LICENSE FOR THIS STANDARD EDITION SERVER HAS BEEN EXCEEDED. ADDITIONAL LICENSE SHOULD BE OBTAINED AND INSTALLED OR YOU SHOULD UPGRADE TO A FULL VERSION""
can someone tell me how to go from per server to per seat....
Thanks
Does it mean "per hard drive" or "per CPU"(Pentium III, Pentium IV, etc.)? I'm a bit confused about it after reading a lot of books and article talking about processor license. Thanks in advance....
View 4 Replies View RelatedIf I install an instance of SQL Server on a box with 4 processors but specify in the licensing part of the installation procedure that it's a '2 processor license', does that really mean that SQL Server will only use 2 of the 4 processors? I ask because, having done this, if I check the SQL Server instance's properties, on the Processors tab, there are 4 processors ticked - giving the impression that 4 processors are being used by this SQL Server instance. Can anyone throw some light on this?
Another question... If I wish to reconfigure the same SQL Server instance from a 2 to a 4 processor 'per processor' license, how can this be done?

I recently completed developping my own e-Commerce model using SQL Server 2000 on Windows XP Pro .
However, now that I have it running smoothly, I would like to transfer the files to a dual Xeon 1.7 Ghz system with Windows Server 2003 with SQL Server installed for commercial use. I looked at the prices, and I was shocked to see a processor license for SQL server to be $5,000 to $20,000!

I have a few questions comparing the free MSDE to actually purchasing a server license:
1. I undestand that MSDE limits the concurrent queries to 25 at a time... is that sufficient for a site that has say 500 visitors a day, who make 10-20 queries each? What about 1000 or 5000 visitors?
2. When the MSDE query manager detects too many queries, does it queue queries to resolve sequentially automatically? Or, does it just FAIL if there are too many queries? I'd hope that it would queue the query so that I don't have to go through my source and re-program each query to re-try in this case.
3. Is the 2GB database size limit of any concern on an ongoing basis? Seems to me that is more than enough as long as I erase some tables every few years.
If anyone has had experience with either/or system, I appreciate your advice.
Thanks,
Brent
I currently have a single proc server in production and want to maintain a spare server that is dual-proc.
Is there a technical problem installing a single license SQL 2000 Standard on a dual-proc server? WIll it allow it or is it actually just a legal licensing requirement?
I need to upgrade a solution from SQL Express Advanced to Workgroup Edition because of the 4GB size limit. I'm planning on deploying the solution in an secure web enviroment were only authenticated users will be able to access the database. The actual username's and passwords would be stored in an Express database. Therefore since only named users would be accessing the database server web app, can I use the CAL license model??
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a VERY Legitmate use to install sql 4 workgroups on a pc without licensing it. I am making a disk image for MANY pcs to be imaged and load licensing after the imaging is completed.
I have been able to do this with Windows XP Professional, MS Office 2003 and a couple non-Ms programs. The information for MS software even came from their KB, so I know what I am doing is legit. I just can't find any information on doing this for my sql app.

Per-seat? problem
I have installed SQL7 standard edition on a server and the desktop version on an NT workstation PC. When I try to DTS between them, I get an error with regard to needing per seat licenses. I installed SQL7 from ‘BackOffice Test Platform’ CD (we are a MS Solution Provider), but there was no option for ‘seats’. What am I missing? Is there another SQL7 CD?
Thanks,

In order to use Replication, sql server installation must use per seat licensing. What if I have per server licensing, how can I change the licensing to per seat so I can use replication
Ahmed
Is this change possible without re-installing SQL 7.0? if so, how?
The install was completed by a network guy who thought he knew enough about SQL and now I have to fix it, but all I know is that we use the per server mode in our company. Help Please!!!
I am running a query on a SQL Server 2005 database and encounter the following error message
"Internal Query Processor Error: The query processor encountered an unexpected error during execution."
There is a join between a table on the 2005 database and another on a 2000 database. I have run DBCC CHECKTABLE and found no errors on the two tables.
Anybody with ideas?
Thanks
SQL Server 2005 9.0.3161 on Win 2k3 R2
I receive the following error:
"Error: 8624, Severity: 16, State: 1 Internal Query Processor Error: The query processor could not produce a query plan. For more information, contact Customer Support Services."
I have traced this to an insert statement that executes as part of a stored procedure.
INSERT INTO ledger (journal__id, account__id,account_recv_info__id,amount)
VALUES (@journal_id, @acct_id, @acct_recv_id, @amount)
There is also an auto-increment column called id. There are FK contraints on all of the columns ending in "__id". I have found that if I remove the contraint on account__id the procedure will execute without error. None of the other constraints seem to make a difference. Of course I don't want to remove this key because it is important to the database integrity and should not be causing problems, but apparently it confuses the optimizer.
Also, the strange thing is that I can get the procedure to execute without error when I run it directly through management studio, but I receive the error when executing from .NET code or anything using ODBC (Access).
At the moment my asp.net app is working ok and I can connect to the database using windows authentication, however i'm trying to use sql authentication on my local computer.i'm using sql server studio at the moment to manage the database. And tried numerious combinations of things to try and get it working and allow me to connect to the database using SQL authentication but still no luck :(can anyone give me some rough step by step instructions to setting up the sql username and password for forms authentication and activating it for a certain database?thanks

Guys!
I'm using SQL Mail to send out Emails to Customers re: outstanding Invoices. I also use SQL Mail on the same box to send out emails to our Sales Reps with summaries of outstanding invoices. Now, I've set up multiple outlook profiles on the server. I tried using
xp_startmail @user = 'CreditControlDept'
xp_sendmail .... (to customers)
xp_stopmail @user = 'CreditControlDept'
xp_startmail @user = 'InvoiceTracker'
xp_sendmail...(to internal sales reps)
xp_stopmail @user = 'InvoiceTracker'
DOES NOT WORK!!! the profile does'nt switch at all. SQL Mail sends out all the emails using the profile that it started with. How can I use xp_startmail and xp_stopmail to switch between different user profiles.

Hi
If I dump a replicated Db and restore it onto another DB, how do I switch off replication from the restored DB. I believe there were some scripts developed for this in 6.5.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Could anyone help me to find out how to switch signs of "+" and "-" in matrix drilldown?
In columns drilldown i have wright (that means "+" for drilldown and "-" for drillup)
In rows I have it conversely, don't know why and don't where I can change this.
Thank you!
I sometimes have problems when running index rebuilds due to the tran log growing too big. MS suggest switching the db from full recovery mode to bulk-logged mode fur the duration of the rebuild. Question is, when you switch a db from full recovery to bulk logged, does that invalidate the tran log backups up to that point? When the db is switched back into full-recovery mode, are the following tran log backups still in sequence?

Do you know of any resources in terms of Transact SQL in order to migrate from 6.5 to 2000?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to know how I can switch from one database to another within the same script. I have a script that reads the header information from a SQL BAK file and loads the information into a Test database. Once the information is in the temp table (Test database) I run the following script to get the database name.
This part works fine.
INSERT INTO @HeaderInfo EXEC('RESTORE HEADERONLY
FROM DISK = N''I:TESTdatabase.bak''
WITH NOUNLOAD')
DECLARE @databasename varchar(128);
SET @databasename = (SELECT DatabaseName FROM @HeaderInfo);
The problem is when I try to run the following script nothing happens. The new database is never selected and the script is still on the test database.
EXEC ('USE '+ @databasename)
The goal is switch to the new database (USE NewDatabase) so that the other part of my script (DBCC CHECKDB) can run. This script checks the integrity of the database and saves the results to a temp table.
What am I doing wrong?
Hi
My C# application has a DataGridView which is bound to a DataSet. I used Visual Studio to add/configure the data source. Everything works fine on my computer. When I try to run the application on another computer I can't connect to the database, because it uses a wrong connection string.
How can I make a specific connection/connection string permanent for a specific application?
Thanks.
I've got a situation where I need to execute portions of a script against every database on a given instance. I don't know the name of all the databases beforehand so I need to scroll through them all and call the "use" command appropriately.
I need the correct syntax, the following won't work:
DECLARE DBS CURSOR FOR
SELECT dbname
FROM #helpdb
ORDER BY dbname
OPEN DBS
FETCH NEXT
FROM DBS
INTO
@dbname
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
USE @dbname
The last line - the "USE" statement - is invalid. The following for example works:
USE master
But when supplied a declared variable a syntax error results for the use command because it expects an identifier.
So .. what is the correct syntax to pass a declared parameter to "USE", or is there another way to meet this requirement?
Thanks for your time.

It is simple question, just slipped out of my mind at this time...... how do we change Security Context for 2005 version from network to local system.
thanks,
Hi,
One of our client application launches a execuatable on server by calling master..xp_cmdshell. We are migrating to SQL 2005 and I would like to use the Context Switching feature
We have sql login €œclient€? which is used by clinet application and has very least privelge and have only required access to requried database and tables.
xp_cmdshell is disabled by default on our server and I would like to enable xp_cmdshell, launch the executable on the server and disable xp_cmdshell.I have created another SQL Login €œBob€? and is member of sysadmin. The below SP is created by logging in as €œBob€?. My objective is to grant execute access on this SP and grant impersonate access to sql login €œclient€? . So that client application connecting to SQL server can launch the executable by calling the SP
create proc Bob.[Bob_enable_xp_cmdshell]
with execute as 'Bob'
as
EXEC sp_configure N'show advanced options', N'1' RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
EXEC sp_configure N'xp_cmdshell', N'1'
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
EXEC sp_configure N'show advanced options', N'0' RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
-- launch the application using xp_cmdshell and disable the xp_command shell
When I try to execute (exec [Bob].[jtr_enable_xp_cmdshell]
) the above SP by logging in as €˜Bob€™, I€™m getting the below error
Msg 15247, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_configure, Line 94
User does not have permission to perform this action.
Msg 5812, Level 14, State 1, Procedure jtr_enable_xp_cmdshell, Line 4
You do not have permission to run the RECONFIGURE statement.
Msg 15123, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_configure, Line 51
The configuration option 'xp_cmdshell' does not exist, or it may be an advanced option.
Msg 5812, Level 14, State 1, Procedure jtr_enable_xp_cmdshell, Line 6
You do not have permission to run the RECONFIGURE statement.
Msg 15247, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_configure, Line 94
User does not have permission to perform this action.
Msg 5812, Level 14, State 1, Procedure jtr_enable_xp_cmdshell, Line 7
You do not have permission to run the RECONFIGURE statement.
Please note the SQL Login €œBob€? is a member of sysadmin fixed role. Thank in advance for you help.

Hi,
I need to allow only a specific group of users to use a linked server. Rather than granting each user access in the linked server I create and give access to a local SQL login "link_user" and then grant the group impersonate to "link_user". The folllowing statements then work fine:
EXECUTE AS LOGIN = 'link_user'
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(linked_server, 'SELECT * FROM ...)
But when I use the exact same statements in a stored procedure I get the folllowing error:
Msg 7416, Level 16, State 1, Procedure linktest2, Line 5
Access to the remote server is denied because no login-mapping exists.
I need to be able to work with the result set which is why I use OPENQUERY rather than EXECUTE... AS... AT which works fine also in stored procedures!?
Is there another workaround then to create all users in the linked server security?

Hello,
I need to pull data from an Excel Workbook (DTS Excel Source) where the data is stored in worksheets that are each named one of the twelve months of the year. The package is fired by a job that runs once a month. Currently, I have to go into the select statement of the Excel source before the process runs and change the name of the Worksheet that the data is pulled from.
How can I set up the sql statement for the Excel source so that I can pull from the Worksheet that contains the name of the current month?
Thank you for your help!

I have a query that gets the tables, columns, indexes, index_columns for all tables in a data base.
But, I need to be able to select any data base on the server
and then drill down into the tables, columns, etc.
I looked at sys.databases but can't see how to relate that to the
sys.tables to extend my query.
Is there a way?
I've looked at the information_schema area and catalog views
but I don't see a solution yet.
I would like to run the same query on multiple tables. So say I have a list of tables
@tableList = a|b|c|d
And then I have my query looping through the tables
for (@table in tableList)
{
update from @table
set = ''
}
Is there a simple way to do this in an mssql query, if so how do I get to loop through the query switching the table name?
I have a table which has been partitioned on BIGINT column.
Partitioned_Table (ID BIGINT, Name VARCHAR(10), Gender VARCHAR(2))
I have a left range partition function on ID column.
CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION Partition_Function ( BIGINT )
AS RANGE LEFT
FOR VALUES ( '20150601000', '20150602000', '20150603000' );
That means the first partition is IDÂ >= 20150601000Â to ID < 20150602000.
 I have to switch in a table into an empty partition.
Switching_In_Table(ID BIGINT, Name VARCHAR(10), Gender VARCHAR(2))
Before the switch in, I am creating a CHECK constraint on Switching_In_Table CHECK(ID LIKE '20150625%') Can I use like clause in this scenario?
