Is It Worth Upgrading To SQL2000
Feb 2, 2001I currently have several databases running under SQL 7. My Shop is migrating to Windows 2000. I was wondering, does SQL 7 run as good under Win 2000 like it does under Win NT? Since we are migrating should I upgrade to SQL 2000 or should I stay with SQL 7?
Thanks.
Upgrading From SQL7 To SQL2000
Jun 28, 2002I'm upgrading a set of databases from SQL7 on one server (A) to SQL2000 on another server (B). I'd like input on the best method for moving the databases over (BCP, restore from BAK, etc), and in particular on moving the list of valid users (with default databases, permissions to databases, etc) and the DTS packages and Agent jobs.
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.
TIA,
Al
Upgrading From Sql2000 32 Bit To Sql2005 64 Bit
Mar 26, 2007Hi,
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!

Error Upgrading MSDE (SP3) To SP4
Jun 13, 2006I am trying to upgrade my MSDE 2000 (SP3)to SP4, but it is giving an error of "invalid instance".
Here is what is on the machine (before running any commands):
I do not see any SQL Server installation on my machine under Start-All Programs. But, I have a directory for SQL Server under:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL
The sqlserver.exe is in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLBinn and version = 2000.80.760.0
To upgrade MSDE 2000 (SP3) to MSDE SP4, I downloaded this file from Microsoft's website: SQL2000.MSDE-KB884525-SP4-x86-ENU.EXE
I ran the above .exe and extracted the files on my hard drive. Now, I have the C:SQL2KSP4MSDE directory and the Setup.exe is in the MSDE directory.
I looked in the services and stopped the following service:
MSSQLSERVER
Now, I ran this command:
setup SAPWD="ourpassword" SECURITYMODE=SQL
/L*v C:MSDELog.log
This came with the error - Invalid Instance
I tried running:
setup /upgradesp sqlrun /L*v C:MSDELog.log
This command ran and did not show any error. I then rebooted the machine, checked that the MSSQLSERVER service is running and checked the version of sqlserver.exe but it was still the same (2000.80.760.0). It should have been 8.00.2039
I am not sure what am I missing. All I want to do is update the MSDE Service Pack on our company machines to SP4.
Please help !

Upgrading MSDE 2000 To SQL 2005 Standard
Apr 10, 2007 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
MSDE && SQL2000
Jul 13, 2006I am developing a Crystal Reports App in VS2005 (VB). I was originally working on an XP machine with MSDE and stored procedures where it worked fine.
I then transferred the development to a Win2003 machine with SQL2000 and am now getting the following error;
Failed to open a rowset. Description: 'Get_Calls_By_MLO_Date' expects parameter '@DT1' which was not supplied. Plus some other error detail.
Here is the SP.
CREATE PROCEDURE Get_Calls_By_MLO_By_Date @DT1 datetime, @DT2 datetimeASSELECT MLO, CallNo, DT, Type FROM ActionsWHERE dt >= @DT1 AND dt <= @DT2 AND ActionID=1 ORDER BY MLO, DTGO
If I transfer everything back to the XP machine it works fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks

am making, I want to upgrade a user's DB engine, if they are still
using MSDE 1.0, to SQL Express 2005.
The upgrade path we have chosen is the following.....
MSDE 1.0 --> MSDE 1.0 sp4 --> SQL Express 2005
I believe this should work, yes? Anywho, I am trying to run a

When SQL Express is installing, everything installs properly except the
backward compatibility component....any idea why this is happening?
I'm certain that some of the above parameters (in red) are wrong because if I install all the engines (above in blue) manually then it all works.

MSDE And SQL2000 On Win2k3
Jul 23, 2005Hi all,I have MSDE installed on an HP server as some of the utilities requireda database. I have also subsequently installed SQL 2000 onto thisserver which is a windows 2003 box. I know it complains at the startof the installation but I was under the impression that it would stillwork ok, especially with SP3 applied.I have tried to apply SP3 but it tells me that it is not a SQL2000instance ad setup will exit?Also I have noticed that in the directory structure it has used thedollar sign i.e. mssql$machinename its the same in Enterprise Manager\machinename$InstanceName. Whats that all about? Its not like that onany other server!My plan is to uninstall sql 2k, uninstall HP apps and MSDE andreinstall SQL 2k. Can anyone explain the above though?ThanksGary

Upgrading Localized MSDE-server To The English Version Of SQL Server Express 2005?
Aug 6, 2007Hello,
at the moment I have the following problem:
We have installed a version of the MSDE 2000 Sp3 with our software since 2005. Now we install SQL Server Express 2005 in order to use the latest version and to be compatible with Vista.
We have never had any problems with the MSDE, so it was no problem that we installed the german version (by mistake) because there never was any output at installation time.
When we now upgrade the existing MSDE installing the new version of our software, there are often problems and there are error messages, unfortunately in german, which cannot be read by most of our international users.
The problem is, that there seems to be no possibility to upgrade the existing (german) MSDE with the english version of SQL Server Express 2005.
My question is, if it is possible to upgrade the german MSDE to the english SQL Server 2005 to enable our international users to read the error messages at installation time in english?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Peter
Migrating From Sql2000 MSDE Database To Sql2005 Express - Attach Database Errors
Apr 23, 2006I have a medical records system, SoapWare v4.90, that uses MSDE (SQL2000) databases. Due to the 2gb limitation, I am trying to migrate over to SQL 2005 (Standard or Express) which I have heard works fine. The SoapWare has a datamanager that allows me to log in to the MSDE instance, detach the SoapWare databases from msde (as well as do backups, etc) which I can confirm are detached.
Then I log back into a SQL2005 database instance using the datamanager and try to attach the database. This is what their pictured instructions demonstrate. However, I get the following error:
Database 'sw_charts' cannot be upgraded because it is read-only or has read-only files. Make the database or files writeable, and rerun recovery.
Of course, some of the entries will be read only, since doctors have to sign off the charts and are not allowed to subsequently change them. But I should still be able to switch over to sql 2005?!?!?!?
Or... is there a way to attach the databases to SQLExpress manually?
Help pls?

I'm not sure if it's the setup I did wrong, but I can't seem to get my
text datatype in my database to store more than 900 characters.
I'm trying to setup a news database for my website, which will populate
the information into a datagrid. To test, I manually added a news
item in the database through the visual studio 2003 gui. I
immediately noticed a problem as the I was getting an error after a
long news item saying:
"The value you entered is not consistent with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit."
I couldn't find anthing to set the buffer limit and the datatype is
"text" filled with simple text in the column. As a further test,
I
simply entered 12334567890123... up to 900 characters and still
recevied the error.
I would appreciate someone leading me in the right direction on this one.
Thanks a lot.
How Do I Change The Name Of A Computer Running MSDE With Out Reinstalling MSDE

MSDE Worth Using Or Should I Invest In MySQL? (was MSDE)
Mar 9, 2005I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this this question but I'll give it a shot.
The only db development that I have ever done is in MS Access. I have a project at work that is being accomplished in VB and I need a db engine to use as the back end. Visual studio came with a copy of MSDE. Is this tool worth using or should I invest in mySQL? Are there any advantages to using MSDE over mySQL?
Upgrading To Sql 7.0
Feb 5, 2002Hi,
I have to upgrade the sql server from 6.5 to 7.0 for the first time. I have decided to go with two machine upgrade using named pipes.
The question is: Can we still use 6.5 machine and database as production version until we test out the application on 7.0?
We are planning to relpeat the upgrade once the testing is done on 7.0 server once the testing is done.
Upgrading From 6.5 To 7.0
May 14, 1999We're going to be upgrading our Server from 6.5 to 7.0. In addition we're getting a new SQL Server Box.
Which of the following is better: a) Install SQL 6.5 on the new box, restore the DB from old box to the new box, then install 7.0 on the new box and use the upgrade wizard to upsize the DB. (We'll have room to leave the 6.5 devices on the box after upgrading.) or b) Install SQL 7.0 on the new box and upsize the db across the network (100megabit network cards).
Thanks,

Ontop of that, I need to change the sa password for all current users (I should be able to manually set it for the new guys).
The problem I'm having is that instead of just updating the current SQL Express engine installed, it creates a new instance of the SQL Express engine when installing SQL Express SP2.
