Buying A New Server To Put SQL2000 Onto
Apr 3, 2007
Our SQL Developer asked for a new server with a separate small hard disk for the Transaction Log alone to reside on, to increase performance. This will be hard to do, since the servers we have been looking at are low-profile rackmount, and only hold 2 SATA disks. I hate to waste our only expansion bay on a small HD. Is this really something important, or will a Quad-core processor and plenty of RAM make the performance difference negligible? We have 32-bit SQL2000 licensed per processor, and our database is only about 26GB. I was hoping to get 1 large disk and partition it into a 20GB OS partition, and the rest would be for SQL. Am I totally on the wrong track?
My 2nd question is about RAM - if we get 4GB of RAM, will it decrease the performance if we get 64-bit O/S pre-installed instead of 32-bit? I know 64-bit O/S *can use* more RAM than 4GB, but does it *need* more RAM for the same level of performance that we have now? (We are planning to expand that to at least 8-12GB whenever we upgrade to 64-bit SQL2005, but the budget does not allow it just yet.)
Thanks!

Hi Everyone,
I am looking to buy SQL Server for my home computer solely for the purpose of training for Exam 70-431 Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist: SQL Server 2005. My inclination is to buy SQL Server Developer Edition from Amazon.com for $41.99. Is this the best thing for me to do? What is the difference between Developer, Express and Standard in terms of training for the certification exam?
Thanks!

Does any one know of any good components I can buy in to sit on top of my SQL Server to provide the kind of search functionality that google has - 'Did you mean...,' nearset match etc. I have set up SQL Server Full Text but to build all the extra functionality will take some time and I think it will be more cost effective to buy a component in. If any one has used any could you let me know of you experinces please. CheersScott

Greetings...
I don't know if you have this question being asked before, but I searched and I didn't find. I'm not an expert in SQL issues.
I'm used to doing some programming on ASP on my personal computer. I use the SQL 2000 as a database - I used to use to SQL 2000 enterprise manager to manage my database on my local computer or to enter my database on the web hosting companies. Any way, my question is: I have now windows vista. I'd like to install SQL 2005 to do my usual work.
What version of sql 2005 should have for this personal use as mentioned above?
I totally appreciate any help or additional information regarding this topic since i'm not an expert and still new in this field
Thanks

Hi,I was hoping someone may be able to shed some light on a SQL2000 connection problem.I have an ASP.NET(1.1) application that connects to a SQL2000 instance on the localmachine, the connection details are as follows: Connection Code :try
{//connect to the provided datasource
using(SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(strConnectionInfo))
{
strStatus = "Pulling Data";
SqlDataAdapter sqlA = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM NavBlocks",connection);
sqlA.Fill(dsNav.NavBlocks);
SqlDataAdapter sqlB = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM NavItems",connection);
sqlB.Fill(dsNav.NavItems);
bNavLoaded = true;//prevent further calls
}
}The connection string is as follows: "Data Source=BOBBITSQL2000;Initial Catalog=pinnacleCMS;User Id=myUser;Password=myPass;"Now this conection has never been a problem, the intial catalog exists, the user exists and has permissions, further to this this users connection details can be used to succesfully access the database from a dsn on this machine. The server explorer finds the database fine, Visio finds the databse fine.The problem only existed after I reverse engineered the database into visio (the database was originally developed using Visio), then dropped all of the tables using Enterprise Manager, and re generated the database from within Visio (ddl script) following a few minor changes.Since the re generation I get the server not found error message from the ASP.Net application.I have tried using different network libraries, logging in using the sa account etc, it makes no difference the ASP.Net application cannot see the SQL server instance.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.p.s. I have tried dropping the firewall with no success, no updates have been installed.Thanks

I recently was moved into an applications developers position here at the lawfirm I work at.
Thusfar, its been alot of straight ASP, SQL2000, and Access.
I know the need for me to know .Net is coming, and Ive decided to start playing with ASP.net so I can look a bit proactive..
Ive looked over what I need to get started, in liu of Visual Studio I know of the VS Express options. However, I currently have SQL Server 2000 installed locally on my machine along with IIS 5.1. All the VS Express information Ive found keeps referencing SQL2005 express. Can I get away with using what I already have with 2000? Or if not, can SQL2005 express be run alongside with SQL2000?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I'am running Sql2000 Enterprise edition
on Windows 2000
When I re-name the Server for example
from TST_SVR To TST_SVR1, Sqlserver comes backup fine with the new name (TST_SVR1) , BUT I'am still able to connect to the SqlServer even with the old Server name (TSR_SVR). I do not want to connect using the old server name.
I have dropped and added server using
Sp_addserver and Sp_Dropserver, My
@@servername command returns the new server name
Any help in this matter is really appreciated
Thanks

Brand new to linked servers and trying some stuff. I've successfully linked a server using EM (both are sql2000). I can successfully run a select statement through QA. I'm trying to test a locally-stored procedure and am having a bit of trouble. Please, no arguements about best method - I have no choice. Cannot create stored procs on remote machine.
If I run this through QA, I get an immediate return set: select * from linkedName.dbName.dbo.tblName
If I try to create a test stored proc like the following, I get: Error 7405: Heterogeneous queries require the ANSI_Nulls and ANSI_WARNINGS options to be set for the connection. This ensure consistent query semantics. Enable these options and thenreissue your query. When I looked it up in BOL, I thought I was setting these items?
CREATE PROCEDURE zp_countyListing AS
SET ANSI_WARNINGS ON
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
select * from linkedName.db.dbo.tblName
Thanks for the assistance.

I’ve got a linked server created in SQL2000 to DB2.
I’m using Client Access ODBC Drivers, and Microsoft OLE DB provider for ODBC Drivers.
I have views created against the linked server as
ALTER VIEW BLBATDT AS
SELECT * FROM LURCH_PARADB.S102D4LM.PARADB.BLBATDT
All seem(ED) to be working fine until I ran into this issue.
Using the view
If I select count(*) from BLBATDT returned value 786
If I select * from BLBATDT I get 76 rows returned
If I select from BLBATDT where field = value I get nothing, when in fact there is a value I specified.
I modified the view creation to
Create view as
select * from openquery(LURCH_PARADB,
'select *
from S102D4LM.PARADB.BLHDR')
Performed the above simple selects, (same results)
I modified the view creation to
Create view as
select * from openquery(LURCH_PARADB,
'select field_list_of_all_fields_in_the_table
from S102D4LM.PARADB.BLHDR')
Same results
However if I modified the view creation to
Create view as
select * from openquery(LURCH_PARADB,
'select field1, field2
from S102D4LM.PARADB.BLHDR')
And limit the fields selected to a small subset, everything works fine.
I think the issue may be that the parent tables are very wide in total byte count and the number of fields is also large.
This particular tables has 120 fields with a total record length of over a 1000 bytes.
If this is the case, how do I resolve this?
Has anyone ran into this before?

Hi,
I want to install SQL 2000 Server on Win-2003 STD Server and transfer the database that has been running on SQL-2000/Win 2K server.
Win-2003 Server has Apache services and TrendMicro AV Server running. After installation the SQL service starts automatically. But I am not able to see the database from Enterprise manager. It gives error 'A connection could not be established to <local>. Reason: Login failed for DOMAIN/USER. I am logged into Win2003 server as 'Administrator' for installation. SQL Server authentication in Mixed Mode and connect using Domain user account.
While applying update(SP3) also the same error comes after trying to validate password and the Sql service automatically stops. I tried using both Win pwd and SQL sa pwd. Both are giving same error.
How I can go abt it?
Shall be grateful for a reply,

Linked server from SQL2005 to SQL2000

I use the following SQL statements to create a link server. RemoteServerName is an SQL2000 and I am executing this in another machine which is SQL2005.
Though the link server is created successfully, I am not able to se the tables under it so could not query anything.

I have setup SQL2000 Personal edition on my notebook.
I cannot connect to an existing SQL7 server on the network anymore. I
used to run SQL7 Desktop edition which ran just fine.
I also noticed that when I start my machine it take about 2 minutes
until the SQL service is started.
Any ideas why this is not working anymore?

Hi,
I installed vs2005 & then SQL2000 but I canot load my SQL2000 instance into the explorer. I try to 'add a server' by putting in the computer name, but I can't get it. I also have installed sql2005 express & compact edition installed but I cannot log onto express, only comact.
when I try to create a DB in vs2005, I get an error. I have set express to accept remote connections for tcpip but that didn't help
any ideas? Do i have to install VS2005 after installing sql2000? Should I remove express?
Thanks very much for any ideas

My company recently purchase a NetApp FS870 and we want to move the SQL data files for out production DB. The NetApp is a NAS. Without loggining in to the SQL Server and establishing a drive mapping.
Does anyone know how to connect SQL2K to the remote machine?
We would prefer to use UNC naming to access the share, as leaving servers logged in and open with a mapped drive is a huge secutrity hole, and presents a reliability issue too.
