Hi,
I am trying to install the eval version of Reporting Services. One of the requirements for installing this is to have SQL Server 2000 with service pack 3a. I've downloaded the service pack and followed the instructions documented by Microsoft (applying SQL2KSP3.exe, then SQL2KASP3.exe).
It appears that the application of the service packs did nothing. No errors where returned after the executable was run. But, after having applied these service packs, the version has not changed. I have restarted the service, and the server with no success. The version that is returned is
'Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.194'.
I am running MSSQL server Developer Edition, running on Windows 2000 Professional (service pack 4).
Any suggestions. I have even uninstalled the SQL server and re-applied the service packs, so I really am having trouble trying to figure out what to do next.
Thanks,
Jim
When I try to run SQL Server 6.5 Service Pack 5a, I consistently receive the error message
"Setup initialization could not be successfully completed.
cfgchar.exe could not be executed. Please check the relevant
out file."
I am currently at Service Pack 3.
1) I have insured that the PATH environment variable does not contain quotes.
2) I have no other applications running at the same time as the service pack is running.
The contents of the cfgchar.out file appear as follows:

Hi There
I understand that from Sql Server 2005 service packs should be able to be applied with no disruption, is this true ?
I want to install service pack 1 on our 2005 instances but i cannot find any documentation in BOL or the official SP1 website on installation steps.
Is there no thing i need to do when i install the service pack ? I am just weary of applying a service pack to the instance while users are woking etc.
I find it very starnge that they are no reccomended steps to follow before applying th service pack. If anyone has a link to this i would really appreciate it as i cannot find ot anywhere ?
Thanx
I have SQL 2005 Express installed. When I try to apply service pack 1 to this by going through the upgrade process, I get an error ' THe installer has encountered an unexpected error. The error code is 2259. Table(s) update failed'
Any ideas? Help!

USE AdventureWorksDW
GO
CREATE MESSAGE TYPE HelloMessage
VALIDATION = NONE
GO
CREATE CONTRACT HelloContract
(HelloMessage SENT BY INITIATOR)
GO
CREATE QUEUE SenderQueue
CREATE QUEUE ReceiverQueue
GO
CREATE SERVICE Sender
ON QUEUE SenderQueue
CREATE SERVICE Receiver
ON QUEUE ReceiverQueue (HelloContract)
GO
DECLARE @conversationHandle UNIQUEIDENTIFIER
DECLARE @message NVARCHAR(100)
BEGIN
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
BEGIN DIALOG @conversationHandle
FROM SERVICE Sender
TO SERVICE 'Receiver'
ON CONTRACT HelloContract
SET @message = N'Hello, World';
SEND ON CONVERSATION @conversationHandle

RECEIVE CONVERT(NVARCHAR(max), message_body) AS message
FROM ReceiverQueue
Any help is welcome
Are there any guidelines or best practices for deploying or testing Service Packs? What types of tests should be performed prior to upgrading or do I just trust Microsoft?
View 4 Replies View Related How do SQL 2000 service packs play a role in upgrading? That is, can SQL 2000 Standard with no Service Packs(SP) be upgraded to SQL 2005 Standard, or does SQL 2000 Standard have to have a certain service pack(SP).
What about re-applying SQL 2005 service packs when upgrading Express SP1 to Workgroup, etc.?

Hi,

still showing 7.00.623 instead of 7.00.699
HELP !!!

I'm currently using Base SQL 7.00.623, do I need to apply SP1 before putting SP2 or can go directly to SP2.

Is the sql server 2000 service pack 3 worth applying to production database server or should I still wait. i do have sql 2000 service pack 2 on the server ?
Thanks
I am binding bunch of SQL object change t/sql code into one service pack and then distribute to around 1500 databases.
gradually, I feel I need to put the table/proc/trigger/field/datatype/data size.... all the changes into a kind of database so that could let me or other developers quickly pull out all the change info against a particular object, say table customer. It may have changed 15 times already, from enlarge customerName data size from 30 to 50, add a unique constraint to force the customerName uniquenss, add an index on companyPhone field, modify a delete trigger when an customer becomes inactive to append to a historyCustomer table before delete it....
Of course, the db should also include servicePack release date, each object release reason, approved by.....
At first, it sounds simple and not a big deal, but when I draw something and found the relationship between table--field--datatype--size--constraint is not so simple. Is there something even 'raw' available there already, so I might take a short cut and move on?
thanks

Hi Guys,
Just wanted to ask before I apply my servers with the latest service pack.
Has anyone encountered any problems after applying SP4 or any comments?
Thanks & Regards
Is there a way to check what version of SQL 6.5 is
currently in use? I installed SP5 but want to verify
whether it is recognized as the current version. Also,
what is the release # for SP5?
Thanks.

Is NT Service Pack 4 a requirement to install SQL SP5?
