Changing Domain Name --Risks To SQL Server 2000
Dec 26, 2007
Greetings,
I have been tasked with changing our local domian name from .com to .local. I want to make sure I understand the risks to SQL server 2000 when i make this change. We use SQL for Great Plains version 8, here is my simple plan:
1. Dis-join all workstations from .com domain
2. Make a full backup of all databases iin SQL server 2000 -- all databases use the SA account and not NT authentication
3. Dis-join SQL server
4. Change domain name
5. Re-join SQL server box and workstations
6. Launch Great Plains and go home happy!
I am having trouble identifying the risk to my plan and am wondering if:
1. SQL will launch under the new domain
2. Will the backup I made restore under the new domian
3. Will I experience authentication problems even though we use the SA account?
I am not a DB admin and am feeling a little unsure about this task any help on the risks or links to "how to" guides would be appreciated.

Top N And Compatability Level
Aug 16, 2000How do I check the compatability level of a database?
The db in question was originally created in SQL 6.5 and converted to 7.0. Would this have reset the compatability level to 7 or left it at 6.5?
If it is at 6.5 what are the implications of changing it to 7?
Ray, if you answer this can you please forward me your email address. Thanks.

Changing Compatability From 65 To 80
Apr 21, 2008Finally, I may have a good enough excuse to justify changing the compatabilty level of one of the biggies I look after!
Before I go ahead with the change I just wanted to run a couple of questions passed the community.
I know this is very vague, but what sort of problems should I expect? I know there are a few syntax changes, but I don't imagine I will have a problem going up in compatability level!
What is the best method to perform this?
A very simple
EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel 'playdb', 80
Or
ALTER DATABASE SET SINGLE_USER
EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel 'playdb', 80
ALTER DATABASE SET MULTI_USER
How long does this process take; are we talking seconds, minutes, hours? I imagine it's seconds, but I pose this question because a colleague reckons it will take longer because of the database size. I argue that because it's a db configuration setting, it will make no difference...
Thanks a bunch,
George
Compatibility Level Keeps Changing
Dec 18, 2002I have a problem where I have a software application that
needed to be updated to a newer version. In order for the
new version to work I needed to upgrade my SQL Server 7
database to SQL Server 2000. The upgrade went fine for
SQL Server 2000 and also with the application. The only
problem now is that the compatibility level for the
databases stays at 70. Even when I change the
compatibility level to 80 it will automatically go back to
80. What is wrong? Please help.
Advantages Of Changing Compatibility Level

With Readpast Changing Isloation Level
Nov 2, 2007We have an application that accesses a SQL Server 2005 database. The isolation level is set to Read Committed. When the app calls a procedure to insert,update, or delete it seems to change the isolation level after the commit. After the commit, it calls another proc to fill a drop down and it gets the following message
"You can only specify the READPAST lock in the READ COMMITTED or REPEATABLE READ isolation levels"
The proc that fills the drop down isn't even using a with readpast command, but it is being used in some of the procs used prior to the commit.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Is it possible to set in the transaction level for some queries or do we need to change entire database isolation level by using alter database "ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks2008R2 SET READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT ON"
How To Assess Impact Of Changing Database Compatibility Level
Aug 28, 2006I noticed that a database I am working with has a compatibility level set to SQL Server 2000. The instance is actually SQL Server 2005. I'm guessing that it was created like this because the database originally existed on 2000 and was created via backup/restore.
I'm trying to figure out if this needs to be changed and if so how to go about making the change in a non-disruptive manner. What features of 2005 are turned off as a reult of having a 2000 compatibility level?

View 1 Replies View RelatedRisks Of Staying On SQL Server 2000.
Dec 12, 2007Greetings. We have a group that doesn't want to move from 2000 into a 2005 environment, mainly for financial reasons. Highlights for this server:
The server is really currently used as a reporting box, and not at all for OLTP.
Data is extracted nightly from a mainframe, and dumped into various DB's.
There is no front end at all. Users connect via MS Access to query the data.
While new 2005 features would most likely be attractive to them (partitioning, snapshots, new features of Analysis Services, etc.), the real concern is cost.
They have no plans in the near future to do anything else with this server.
All this being said, are there any glaring risks to this group staying on SQL Server 2000 once it has entered into the Extended Support Phase? Any huge reasons why a group like this would need to upgrade to 2005?

View 0 Replies View RelatedRisks Of Single MSSQL Domain Account For Mult Servers?
Jul 20, 2005Greetings:I am trying to conceive what risks might be created by runningmultiple SQL servers within a domain under a single domain account, asopposed to 1) running under the local service account or 2) multipledomain service accounts.In this case, all the SQL servers are SQL2000 running on Win2003. Theservice account is assigned only to the "Domain Users" group.We do use linked server calls, and I have played and suceeded gettingKereberos up to avoid double hop issues when using Windows Auth. Infact, this is one of the reasons that sparked the question in my mind-- in all the MS Kerebos SQL<->SQL examples, the SQL servers run undera unique service account.As an aside, most of the servers are "line of business" servers, butHR runs under a unique server with more sensitive information. I don'treally think that merits a seperate service account, but again, Icould well be missing something.I mostly looking for food for thought, but concrete examples ofgotchas would be appreciated.Thanks all.d.

Feb 23, 2007Hi,We currently have a fairly old product, which was originally onlycompatible with SQL 2000.When we upgraded our server to SQL 2005, the client product gave us a"This product is not compatible with this version of SQL server"error.We put the server into SQL 2000 compatability mode, and things worked.Then I tested a Windows Vista workstation client. The error returned.I realise that if we are simply dealing with a client incompatabilitywith Vista, then I'm in the wrong forum, but what I'm hoping is thatsomeone knows anything server side, perhaps where SQL 2000compatability mode becomes ignored for some reason, when the client isrunning Vista.The vendor pretty much no longer exists, and nothing I've been able todo with Vista's compatability modes has been helpful so far.

Jan 18, 2006I'm sure this question has already been asked, I made an attempt to search the forums, but was unsuccessful.
Our production servers are currently running SQL Server 2000 3a. I just got a new development system and have no intentions of installing SQL Server 2000 dev, but SQL Server 2005 Dev Edition.
I was wondering if I will still be able to install SQL2005 and still be able to administer/modify 2000 mdfs with SQL 2005 Enterprise Manager. I wanted to be able to still make development on SQL 2k5 and update the production server (SQL2k). This is on my dev system not the production, the production will still be running SQL 2k, until the client decides on purchasing SQL 2k5.
Of course I will not be able to use the new db features and types on a SQL2000 server, I just want to maintain the legacy with 05 Enterprise Manager (i.e.: SP, UDF and DTO).
Thanks a gig.

SQL 2000/Terminal Services Compatability
Oct 11, 2001I need to know if Microsoft supports SQL Server 2000 running on the same server that functions as a Terminal Server (both NT and Windows 2000).
I checked out Microsoft.com and found that SQL Server 7 is supported with NT Terminal Services but can't locate any compatability information SQL 2000.
PS: I know this configuration doesn't make sense from a performance perspective but my customers will want to do this anyway.
Thanks!

Restoring 2005 Backup With 8.0 Compatability Mode On 2000 - Help
Feb 26, 2007Hi,
I have a database that is in the SQL Server 2000 compatability mode on my SQL 2005 server. I am trying to restore a backup of this database on my SQL Server 2000 database on another server and keep getting strange messages. First trying Red-Gate and then plain SQL Server with no luck.
It seems as I remember that the 7.0 and 2000 compatibility issue between backups did not arise when the compatibility mode was set to 7.0.
Is this "planned" behavior or an "undocumented feature"??? Anyone else have success doing this?
Thanks,

Transactions = Table Level Or Row Level ?
Nov 29, 2006When you utilize transactions in ADO.NET are the locks put on the entire TABLE used or at the row level?
For instance if you do a SELECT within a transaction if you only pull 5 rows out of a 1000 row table can you just make it lock the rows that have been pulled? It seems like it locks the entire table?
Thanks

View 2 Replies View RelatedAnalysis :: Calculate Members At Certain Level In One Hierarchy As Sum Of Corresponding Members At A Certain Level
Jun 4, 2015Problem setting is a geography dimension with multiple user defined hierarchies in SSAS 2008.
Ex.:
Hierarchy 1 (political territory): level 6 --> level 5 --> level 4 --> level 3 (state) --> level 2 --> level 1
Hierarchy 2 (sales territory): level 4 --> level 3 --> level 2 (sales region) --> level 1
...
Hierarchy 9
The relationship between state and sales region is n:1, i.e. one state belongs to exactly one sales region, and one sales region can consists of one or multiple states. Unfortunatly I can't define this attribute relationsship in the dimension because it would lead to a diamond-shaped relationsship without a user-defined-hierarchy to back it up. So far that isn't much of a problem, user don't drill down from sales region to state. But now I want to define a calculated member that multiplies a measure from the main measure group with another measure from a weighting factor measure group at the state level and above. The granularity attribute of the geography dimension in the dimension usage tab of the weighting factor measuregroup is the state.
So far what I've got is:
CREATE MEMBER Currentcube.Measures.[weighted measure state and above] AS NULL;
SCOPE (Measures.[weighted measure state and above],
Descendants(geography.[political territory].[all member],3,SELF_AND_BEFORE),
Descendants(geography.[salesterritory].[all member],2,SELF_AND_BEFORE),
... Descendants(geography.[hierarchy 9].[all member],1,SELF_AND_BEFORE)); this = sum(existing(geography.[political territory].state.members), measures.[main measure group measure] * measures.[weighting measure group measure]);END SCOPE;
This works from a functional point of view, but is rather slow when querying any other hierarchy than the political territory hierarchy, because SSAS first goes down from the state level to the key attribute of the geography dimension, and then aggregates from there to the sales region.In other words, I want SSAS to resolve the relationsship (which state belongs to which sales region) through the dimension, and not through the fact, and apply the calculation afterwards. Like some kind of currency conversion, but only from a certain level upwards.
