Do you find that there is a big difference between the different
versions of SQL server (6.5, 7, 2000, 2005) as is between Microsoft
programming languages (VB.4, VB5, VB6, .Net and now .Net 2)
Or is the difference in SQL server minimal and very small compared to the programming languages I mentioned.
Thanks a lot
Hi all...
I'm a MySQL user and I want to switch to MS SQL Server, I heared that there is more than one type of MS SQL Server and one or two can be downloaded for free. Can someone tell me the different types of MS SQL Server and where can I download those free versions?
Hi,
Our server has SQL Server 2003 installed, I'd like to use SQL Server Express 2005 as I'm about to try and learn ASP.NET and most tutorials use that.
Will installing Express 2005 conflict with the Server 2003? Can both version be run on one server?
Thanks.
Is it possible to run both SQL200 standard and SQL2005 Express on thesame server? I need to test a database created in 2005 on ourproduction server but don't want to upgrade our "live" databases yet.

I know this is a very basic question for all of you but I need help.
I am a CPA working with a client to select an accounting & project management software for a construction client. In the top 5 choices, there are 2 that require MS SQL Server as the DB. This client will have about 10-20 users, including project managers & accounting personnel but by DB standards transaction volumes will be low. The company has a few large projects. There is no inhouse IT staff; network administration is outsourced.
The question on the table is this? How much more difficult is it to use MS SQL server in this environment? If all of the client's requirements can be met using a run-time version of Sybase, Pervasive, or FoxPro, isn't this the simplest solution. I don't want to recommend an elephant if it is not needed. I would appreciate your opinion....Thanks
Hello,We are trying to set up replication between different versions of SQLServer (7 & 2000).This is how the 2 servers are now setup:DB1 - External web-server w/SQL Server 7DB2 - Internal server w/SQL Server 2000REPLICATION SETUPThis is how we need the replication to be set up. They are allTransactional Replications.DISTRIBUTION:This is set up on DB2, which is running on 2000WITH PUBLISHERS ON DB1, AND PULL SUBSCRIPTIONS ON DB2:dbo.Employment_App & dbo.Employ_Jobs (together in one replication)dbo.FeedbackNOTE: This set of replications work some of the time, but make DB1 &DB2 very slow when running. A lot of times, the jobs say "RetryingJob", but they usually will eventually work.WITH PUBLISHERS AND PUSH SUBSCRIPTIONS ON DB2:dbo.Jobsdbo.Releasesdbo.SearchNOTE: This set of replications used to work when DB1 & DB2 both ran onSQL Server 7 with 2000 Enterprise Manager's. But since we moved thedata to an internal server (DB2) that runs on 2000, it doesn't work atall.We've researched the problem, and found an article by MS called"Replication Between Different Versions of SQL Server" athttp://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...plimpl_4joy.aspthat states that this setup should be possible (on Combination 3 forTransactional Replications).But it's not working at all. Are there some steps that we need tocheck to have replication setup between 2 servers running on differentversions of SQL Server (7 & 2000)? Any & all help & advice isappreciated. Thanks.KWilliams
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,I've got installed Win 2003 SBS Premium with the SQL Server 2000 on a servermachine. It works almost fine, except the application which uses the SQLServer. The main part of the application runs (since the last update) fine,but other tools of that application (database import and the databasemanager for check and rebuild) doesn't. They hang up or kill the database.Our software developer says that these problems are in correlation with theserver os. But there won't be any problem if we install Win 2000 Server andadd an additional SQL Server 2000.Finally my question is: Are there any differences between the SQL Server2000 Versions, which are sold (a) as a single product, (b) as part of theWin 2003 SBS Premium package and (c) as part of other Server versions?Thanks in Advance,Martin

Hi there,
I have one publicacion on ms sql 2005 Enterprise w.sp1/MS Windows 2003 Enterprise w.sp2 and one subscriber on MS sql 2005 Enterprise w.sp1/MS Windows 2003 w.sp2, but I have also 3 subscriber on MS SQL 2000 w.sp3/MS Windows 2000 advanced server w.sp4. They replicate the same database with a publication compatible with 80RTM, All works fine with data replication, but I can't replicate DDL to MS sql 2005 suscriber, I don't care that don't replicate DDL, but I want manually alter triggers at MS sql 2005 suscriber, but I get this error at the subscriber on when I run the ALTER TRIGGER statement :
Msg 21531, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSmerge_altertrigger, Line 67
The DDL statement cannot be performed at the Subscriber or Republisher.
Msg 21530, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSmerge_ddldispatcher, Line 181
The DDL operation failed inside merge DDL replication manipulation.
Msg 3609, Level 16, State 2, Procedure TU_Centros_Distribucion_Articulos, Line 58
The transaction ended in the trigger. The batch has been aborted.
Any help will be appreciated,
PD. I miss sql2000 replication, where I have full control over the database logic
Howdy Folks!
I just finished an OLEDB interface written in VS2005 C++ that works with Sql Server Compact Edition 3.1. My team now wants me to make my interface compatible with Sql Server 2000, 2005, and 2005 Express. My question is...what header/lib files do I need installed and in my stdafx.h to pull this off? Is there a particular order I need to include these files in?
Right now I'm just including the following for SSCE:
#include <ssceerr30.h>
#include <ssceoledb30.h>
Once I get the right includes figured out, the next step is figuring out what CLSID's I should use in the CoCreateInstance call. I *think* I'm supposed to use CLSID_SQLOLEDB for 2000, CLSID_SQLNCLI for 2005, and I haven't a clue for 2005 Express. I could use some clarification on this as well.
Thanks a ton in advance...I've always been impressed by the MSDN boards...
Books online "Deprecated Database Engine Features in SQL Server 2005" makes references to "Features not supported in Future SQL Server versions".

Will there be an Upgrade Advisor available to help us identify issues with our code any time soon or should we start building our own?
One of the big problems with the old MDAC was different versions on different client machines. You would test your app with the latest version say, but when you deployed it, it might fail as the client has a different version.
My company develops software for Municipal Government clients. These clients use other SQL Server applications as well as ours, but they can only use one version of the client software (MDAC) on a given desktop. That means if we require a particular MDAC version, but the clients other applications from other vendors don't officially support that MDAC version, the client is in a real jam.
Our software also supports Oracle, which allows our software to specify a particular Oracle Home which points to a directory with a particular version of the Oracle client dlls (along with corresponding registry entries for that Oracle Home), such that we control the exact client version of the Oracle software that the client uses with our applications. This will not interfere with, and is completely seperate, from the default Oracle home installed when you install the Oracle client software.
What I would like to see for the Native Client is the ability to have our applications use the version of the Native Client that we wish to support and deploy without interfering with the Native Client version used by other applications. Have a default Native Client, but allow applications to somehow specify a different Native Client version/set of DLLs.
Is there any such functionality with the Native Client? (I didn't see any mention of such in the documentation, but I thought I'd ask)
If not, are there any future plans to support multiple Native Client versions on the same desktop?
I am confused about the version numbers for SQL Server Compact/Mobile. It _looks_ like the versions went from CE 2.0 to Mobile 2005 to CE 3.0 (or 3.1). Is this correct? In fact, I found one location the specifically said Compact Edition is the next version of Mobile. In another location I saw Compact Edition referred to as 2005 CE.
This has got me going because I am creating a Mobile/CE app and I keep getting a "Initialize SQL Server Reconciler" and the best information I can find indicates a mismatch between the server component and the client component.
So, what are the current versions of Mobile/CE? Is there a location that lists all of the components and what version they should be?
Thanks.

We have installed 2014 sql server. We have currently 2008r2. We have to run the real time report. So we need to set up transactional replication b/n those two servers. We need to use 2008r2 as publisher and 2014 as subscriber.
Is it ok to have subscriber higher version than the publisher?
I currently have three SQL Server instances installed on my notebook. One is v8, which I believe is used by an accounting application. The other two are as follows:-
SQL Server MSSMLBIZ
SQL Server SQLEXPRESS
The second one (SQLEXPRESS) fails to start generating the following error:-
The SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) service terminated with service-specific error 17058 (0x42A2).
Other services listed in SQL Server Configuration Manager are:-
SQL Server Integration Services - which runs apparently normally.
SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER)
SQL Server Reporting Services (MSSQLSERVER)
SQL Server Browser
The last thre of these are run under LocalSystem.
I have been trying to install the SQLServer SP2 to the SQLEXPRESS instance for some number of days now, but each time it runs, it fails to install.
I am beginning to wonder if there is a sequence of installation for each of the above instances that should be followed. Can anyone give me any suggestions, or answers to the above problems?
Thanks,
Simple question, is it doable?
I tried once before and my machine was messed up.
Thanks

Visual Studio 2005 shows SQL Server 2005 installed product versions differently than the actual. As seen below VS2005 displays 9.00.3042.00 as the version of SQL Server 2005 however it is 9.00.3050.00 in SQL Server Management Studio. [Look at Installed Products section after selecting About MS Visual Studio from Help menu ]
SQL Server Analysis Services
Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services Designer
Version 9.00.3042.00

I have VS2005 SP1 and SQL2005 SP2 installed. Why VS2005 reports versions wrong?
In our Microsoft Dynamics Nav instance we have a Sales Header Archive table - into which copies of the Sales Header are placed, with 3 items forming the compound key:
Document Number
Version
Occurrence number
so if doc 1 is archived, then the records would be
Doc# | Version | Occurrence #
1 | 1 | 1
When a second copy is archived a new record is added:
Doc# | Version | Occurrence #
1 | 1 | 1
1 | 1 | 2
and then when maybe a 3rd version is archived a 3rd entry added
Doc# | Version | Occurrence #
1 | 1 | 1
1 | 1 | 2
1 | 2 | 2
This is for EACH document and I now need to retrieve the dataset which is the latest version of each document... but I'm drawing a blank!
If I
select [Doc#], max([Version]) as [V], max([Occurrence #]) from (table) group by [Doc#]
then I get the distinct list of docs, but I now need to use this list to select the records which match this criteria, from this table.
How do I select just these?
I thought (wrongly) that I could simply say:
Select * from Invoice Table where
Invoice.[Doc#], Invoice.[V], Invoice.[Occurrence #] in
(select [Doc#], max([Version]) as [V], max([Occurrence #]) from (table) group by [Doc#])
Question is in the subject.
Thanks in advance

We are in need of a solution to our problem. We are working for a customer and cannot use their database to work on during development. We have copied the layout and made a sample db for our development.
Rather than writing down all the changes we make to our own db and then making the same changes to the customer's, is there a better way? Can we use something like sourcesafe?
Thankyou
I've got a few SQL Servers at work which are development servers using SQL Server Standard Edition. I would like to downgrade them to SQL Server Developer Edition to save the Standard Edition licenses for production purposes. However, i do not wish to uninstall and reinstall SQL Server Developer Edition, restore all the dbs. Is there a way to change the version of the SQL Server ?

Is there a way to do the following -- I need to be able to update a table based on a selection by a DDL. So here are my two update queries:
1. Update RequestData Set Approved = True Where DeptID = @DeptID2. Update RequestData Set Approved = True (Yes I need to be able to do all of the rows at once.)
But it's all based on the selection of the DDL---I really don't want to have to create two seperate sql commands any ideas?
Is there a way to remove old versions of a DTS package without rewriting the entire package?
These packages run fine but take up more space than I am willing to allocate.
I understand the SANs are only Supported by SQL Server 2000 Enterprise and no other versions of SQL, can anyone supply information to the contrary please?
