Hi ,
We are using the a 4 CPU SQL Server 2000 Enterprise edition for our application ,
We want to migrate to SQL2005 with the compatibility level downgraded to SQL2000.
If we go for the SQL2005 Standard edition is there any problem?
We are not using the Failover clustering in our server.
thanks & Regards

Hi,
Is there any difficulties I should be aware of? I'm not running DTS and I think my DB is relatively simple. I've googled and not found anything that sticks out as a problem.
We are getting a new server because we want more RAM, and better upgrade options. The hosting company recommended 64bit SQL, so I am thinking of following their recommendations.
I am upgrading from a 2 x p4 2.8ghz xeons to 1 x Intel 5130 dual core 64 bit chip. I also will be going from 2 gigs to 4 gigs of RAM.
Any thoughts I would love to hear.
Thanks!

is it possible to retain all our custom settings in the standard edition after changing to enterprise edition.

We have SQL 2005 standard edition and Reporting Services installed on the same server. We are now upgrading from standard to enterprise edition, so we ran setup and let it do its thing. This upgraded SQL Server without any problems but it failed to upgrade Reporting Services. We got a message saying "...set up did not have the administrator permissions required to copy a file: C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.5Reporting ServicesReport Server
ssrvpolicy.config...".
As we tried to upgrade reporting services using the same administrator account we cannot understand why this error would occur. From checking the version of SQL Server to Reporting Services we have 9.00.1399.06 on SQL Server and 9.00.1399.00 on Reporting Services so I presume this proves the upgrade did not work?
Has anyone got any idea what we need to do?
Thanks
Hello, you all,
I did all the stuff necessary for the upgrading (the Upgrade Advisor didn't say anything special), but the Setup says the following:
"
Name: Microsoft SQL Server 7.00.1063
Cause: The update is blocked. You can obtain more informations in the online help "Versions- and editionsupdates".
Editions problem:
The update is blocked because of rules for the editions update.
"
Is it possible that an upgrade is not possible with the evaluation edition? Or can there be another cause?
Thanks in advance

Will it be possible to do an in-place upgrade from SQL 2000 Server Enterprise SP4 32 bit running on top of 64 bit Windows 2003 Enterprise , clustered, to SQL 2005 Enterprise 64 bit?
The 32 bit SQL 2000 to 64 bit SQL 2005 in place upgrade seems questionable to me...
Anybody tried anything like this?

Hi
I have new bought the SQL server 2005 enterprise, but it have 2 CDs, so what are the differences between CD1 and CD2? and so which one should i install first? or is it necessary to install both two or just need to install one of them?
And about my original sql 2000 database, can i just attach it's MDF file into the sql 2005 engine, or which import wizard can load the sql 2000 MDF into sql 2005? or do i need to keep the sql 2000 engine before do this?
thx
Can anyone comment on the engine performance difference between SQL2005 Enterprise Edition versus Standard? I'm talking generalized performance of the engine and not admin features (parallel index operations) or scaled-storage (partitioning)
( http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/enterprise/comparison.mspx )
The marketing literature makes note of two things:
Enterprise can use more then 4 processors
Enhanced read-ahead and scan (super scan)
(note: I cannot find anything about this 'feature')
One un-noted Feature:
only Enterprise supports 'lock pages in memory'
We are in the process of migrating from SQL2000 to SQL2005 in an OLTP environment. Based on the marketing literature; I would have chosen SQL2005-standard. But based on our limited testing, we are seeing some strange differences.
Query Performance
With MaxDOP=1 and using a large batch query (select top 1500000); SQL2005-Enterprise is twice as fast as SQL2005-Standard.
(Note: this difference persists regardless of lock-pages-in-memory setting)
CPU Utilization
In addition, taskmgr shows that SQL2005-Enterprise uses a single processor at ~90%. While SQL2005-Standard shows a single processor at ~20%.
Lock Behavior
We are also seeing lock-behavior differences. A single DML statement that attempts to modify ~5000 rows will cause Table-locks on SQL2005-Standard but obtain normal row-locks on SQL2005-Enterprise.
These empirical differences make me wonder if the engine codebase is fundamentally different between the two?
Any insight would be appreciated.
I am attempting to upgrade a 2005 Standard Edtion to Enterprise Edition. This is a default instance. All components are upgraded successfully except the Database Engine. I receive the following error:
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following problem: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]The certificate cannot be dropped because one or more entities are either signed or encrypted using it.. To continue, correct the problem, and then run SQL Server Setup again.
This installation does not have encryption enabled, so I do not undersand the error or how to correct it.
After rebooting the SQL instance appears to be upgraded to Enterprise, but it cannot be upgraded to SP2.
Thanks,
Hi,
I would like to find out if there is any way to upgrade SQL Server 2000 (Ent) to 2005 (STD)
The Instance has many logins and jobs etc and I dont want to loose those
A document or some advice on how to go about it would help
Thanks
This may be a stupid question, but can someone from MS SQL Server Team kind enough to confirm it, please?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded my SQL 2000 server to SQL2005. I forked out all that money, and now it takes 4~5 seconds for a webpage to load. You can see for yourself. It's pathetic. When I ran SQL2000, i was getting instant results on any webpage. I can't find any tool to optimize the tables or databases. And when I used caused SQL Server to use 100% cpu and 500+MB of ram. I can't have this.Can anyone give me some tips as to why SQL 2005 is so slow?

When moving the databases, which are currently in code page 850, I might want to have them convert to the standard Latin-1 of SQL2000, though this isn't critical.

Hi all,
I just wonder can we install both sql2000 & sql2005
into one server, any problems?
thanks for advice.
I have two SQL servers setup; A - SQL 2005, and B - SQL 2000.
I would like to create an account on Server A which has access to the results from one view via a linked server on Server B. I don't want the user on Server A to be able to access any databases, tables or even columns on Server B with the exception of those contained within this view.
Is this possible, and how would I go about doing it? (Permission-wise)
I have just loaded SQL2005(server only)on my production box.
This box also is running SQL2000.
When I install the SQL2005 SP2 it says that if services are locked they will cause a reboot. I stop all the SQL 2005 services but it also want to stop SQL2000 Server for "backward compatiblilty".
I thought installing a separate instance of SQL2005 would not have any effect on my SQL2000 instance.
Thanks for your help

Hello all
I have an odd problem with sql 2005. I'm a long time sql 2000 user trying to migrate to 2005. My company uses CSVs to import data from our clients db into our SQL db. In 2000 I just create a txt source and pick whichever CSV and transform to a temp sql table. This has always worked just fine with no problems.
So we have a new server with sql 2005 installed. I go through the "migrate dts 2000" wizard and pull in all my DTSs from sql 2000. The first thing I see that needs to be fixed is "connection 1" which is my CSV connection manager along with the flat file source.
I went through both the connection and the flat file source and tried to copy exactly what I do in sql 2000. When I preview the data or even execute this package I get bad data.
Here is what my CSV looks like:
"ACCT ","ACCOUNT DESCRIPTION ","ACCT TYPE","SCH NO","SC"
"9999Z","Balance By Source Offset",9
"87B","UTILITIES(NOT PHONE)U-C",7
72,"ADM-LEGAL/AUDIT/COLL EXP",7
315,"SALES TAX - VEHICLES LOCAL 1",3
"90A","INTEREST(NON FPLAN/MORT)/N-C",7
73,"MEALS & ENTERTAINMENT-ALL",7
"210A","REBATES RECEIVABLE",2,17,4
"5A@","# OF EXT WARR SALES-UC",10
"51N","N/C-VEHICLE INV MAINTENANCE",7
"87D","UTILITIES(NOT PHONE)SVC",7
"90B","INTEREST(NON FPLAN/MORT)U-C",7
317,"ACCRUED OTHER",3,75,4
This is what it looks like when I preview it inside the flat file connection manager:
ACCT ACCT DESC ACCT TYPE SCH NO SCTYPE
9999z blance by source... 9– – "87B" UTILITIES(NO... 7
So it is basically putting two rows of csv data into one row of SQL data. Now I realize my CSV isn't in the correct format because it doesn't have the extra commas at the end of a row IF the columns are null. It seems that 2005 doesn't recognize the carriage return/line feed. It puts the actual ascii characters in the preview. Once I execute the package it changes the ascii characters into blank spaces. My big issue is, why did this work just fine in 2000 but I can't get clean data in 2005? I'm completely clueless now, I have no idea where to go with this. Its impossible to change the output of the CSVs I get. There is literally no other options. I kinda get what I get with them. Why is this happening?
Does anyone know of a resource that describes the steps to upgrade an instance of MSDE(2000) to SQL 2005 Standard?
We found something on a MS site that indirectly indicated you could upgrade the MSDE to SQL Express and then upgrade Express to the full version of 2005, but that method created quite a bit of problems(System databases), which we were not able to resolve short of uninstalling MSDE and the apps and installing SQL 2005 and re-installing the apps; but I have to believe there is a better way.
Thanks! Bob McEuen
Hi,
I've got an issue - A client required SQL 2005 for a new CRM package. They run SBS 2003 standard R2, so I ordered the upgrade to premium. No worries, but the developer needed SQL before the package arrived, so we installed the eval version, and then applied SP2 because this was needed for the CRM package.
Now the full version has arrived. I tried running setup both with and without SKUUPGRADE=1 and neither way will let me upgrade, stating that a later version is already in use.
I do have a good backup of the databases (I also have an entire image-based backup as well) but I don't want a disaster. My question:
Do I uninstall SP2 then upgrade to the RTM version of SQL2005 workgroup edition (the one with SBS2003 premium) or is there some other trickery required?
I'd prefer to get a smooth upgrade rather than ending up in a situation where I'd have to restore a heap of things.
Cheers,
Jeroen
Any one knows if I can restore a SQL2000 database backup file on SQL2005? and the DB structure will be upgraded?

Hi,
Can a sever with OS win2003 install both sql2000 & sql2005? is there any problems with 2 differenct versions in one sever.
Thank you. :)
I have installed MSDE2000 (name: mypcsql2000, port 1433) and sql2005 Express (mypcsql2005, port 1434) on my WinXP.
I'm developing some application and I need to test both server.
It has worked fine about 1 year, but last month i got error message.
When i'm trying to connect to SQL2005 from my application or import data from Excel, i get error message:
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Invalid Connection()).]Invalid connection.
I can access SQL2005 with Management Studio or cmd line (sqlcmd). But not with Excel (or with my application).
MSDE2000 works fine, i haven't any problems.
Last weekend I have reinstalled my WinXP and also MSDE2000, SQL2005 Express.
Worked fine, but when turn on automatic updates ON and afterwards installed latest updates, the problem is here again...
Any idea to solve this problem?
(sorry for my english...)
Hello!!
we use SQL2000(64bit) and we are considering our system to apply SQL2005
so i tested two SQL-Server on One Machine by installing each instance of them.
The RESULT..
i can't find difference of performance between two instance.
is there no impoving in Database engine?
* i'm sorry, for my poor sentence...
I am a IT Manager.I have question:
There is a database was created on SQL Server.
I want to learn if I restore the database to SQL 2005 then I want to get backup then I want to restore to SQL 2000.
shortly: SQL 2000 sever-> SQL 2005->SQL 2000 SERVER
Can I do that?
If I do that is there someting missed?

I have a distributor setup on SQL Server 2005 (9.0.3042) and am trying to create a publication on SQL Server 2000 (8.0.2040) which receives the following error in my production environment:
Msg 8526, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_addpublication, Line 802
Cannot go remote while the session is enlisted in a distributed transaction that has an active savepoint.
The interesting part of this equation is that I was able to get this to work without error in my DEV (development) environment and well as my QAT (test) environment. This end result was that my distributor was SQL 2005, my publisher was SQL 2000 and my pull subscriber was SQL 2005. I have been diligently comparing our production environment to my other environment and have yet to find differences.
Has anyone else seen an error similiar to this? Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I need to install SQL2000 onto a machine (W2K3 R2, SP2) that already has SQL2005, SP1 running. I can't disturb the SQL2005 installation.
Are there any problems or pitfalls to avoid? I've googled and looked on Technet but not yet found an answer.
Has anyone done this?
I know that if I install a separate instance of SQL2000 alongside a default installation of SQL2000 then I'll get a totally separate installation which won't affect the other one at all, so I reckon it could be done. But I have to be sure before I start!
Thanks in advance,
Steve
