Finding Out Db Compatibility Levels In 2005
Dec 31, 2007
In a new environment where we have 2005 servers and loads of databases that are running in compatibility mode with 2000 (80)
Are there any queries we can run on that can tell me what compatibility level each db is?
Looked on the web for ages apart from here but only info for changing the compatibility level - sp_dbcmptlevel – but queies only seem to be for changing it not and not reporting on it.
But I obviously do not want to do that for a production environment.
I want to do a mini report as to what db’s are still (I think all) 2000 mode and then suggest upgrades – I can go into the properties of each one but I know there must be an easier way – finding a load of admin queries that require cross apply and for that I need 2005 (90) compatibility….or is that only for the master db?

Hi There,
We have been using SQL 2005 in our dev enviroment for a few weeks, and I have just completed migrating our production server to a 64bit instance of SQL 2005 standard.
I have 3 publications, 1 snapshot, and 2 transactional. All go to SQL 2000 databases.
Our dev enviroment is in compatibility level 90, and our application is working fine. My concern is, will changing the production compatibility level from 80 to 90 affect / break replication to SQL 2000 Servers?
Thank you.

I have captured some trace output for performance evaluation for an application which has just been upgraded. Originally, this application can only run with database compatible 70.
So, after we have switched this level from 70 to 80, I noticed that all T-SQL statements which executed thru the use of "sp_executesql" have much higher IO usuage. The usage increased from approximately 50 I/O to approximately 12000 I/O. When I reviewed the profiler output, I noticed that all select statements which executed thru this "sp_executesql" statements performed "index scan".
When I switch back to run with database compatibility level 70, my profiler output shows that all these "sp_executesql" statements performed "index seek".
All these statements use the same unique non-clustered index.
Is it a SQL Server bug? Does anyone know which service pack or hot fix address this problem?
Thanks...byyu :)

Hi All,
The IP company that host my site is installing SQL 2005 soon and I my building a web application with SQL 2005 Express. So the question is has anyone heard of any problems with uploading an 2005 express onto a sql 2005 server? I would like to find out now before I finish all of the work. Don't want to find out later that you can't run a sql 2005 express database on a sql 2005 server.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I am a newbie developing a web site. My local machine has sql 2005 standard edition on it. The host that I am trying to use only has sql 2005 64 bit version.
would I be able to do the use the same database between the two ( i.e. once my site is running at host, would I be able to download the database on my local machine, make changes to my site and then upload again on the hose without any glitches?). In addition, how about sql express doing the same with sql 2005 64 bit.
Thanks a lot for taking time to read the post.

I am attempting to install SQL Express 2005 SP2 on a Windows 2000 Server computer. Can someone tell me if this version of SQL is compatible with this operating system? I am getting a warning that my system does not meet the minimum hardware requirements when attempting the install.
I have 512bm of memory (minimum requirement is 192), a PIII/866mhz processor (minimum requirement is a PIII/600mhz) and plenty od disk space. So is it the operating system that is causing this warning?
I also have the Windows Installer 3.1 as well as the Dot Net Framework 2.0 installed.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help - Steve

Are there any known issues with using RDO with SQL Server 2005?
My company is in the process of updating our SQL Server 7 database to
SQL Server 2005. Most of our applications are several years old and
written using RDO to access the database. I have since started the
daunting task of updating all the applications to ADO, but it's only
about a quarter of the way done. We need to update the database ASAP,
but we cannot wait until all the applications have been updated to ADO.
While testing the applications (written in VB6) against the new SQL
Server 2005 database, I have come across a problem with the RDO queries
not returning the correct data. The query returns 4 records. In the
SQL7, it properly shows 4 for RowCount and 4 records are present in the
recordset (as seen by looping through the recordset using rs.MoveNext).
In SQL2005, it properly shows 4 for RowCount, but looping through the
recordset shows that the recordset only contains 1 record. The problem
seems to be linked to a Left Join in the Query. (see below) Table1 has
a column that has a RecID for Table2. In the case where the Table2RecID
column in Table1 is 0, the row is just not added to the recordset even
though it increments the RowCount.
Code:
SELECT * FROM Table1 As T1
LEFT JOIN Table2 As T2 On T1.Table2RecID = T2.RecID
I converted the query to ADO and it ran fine with no problems. The issue has something to do with SQL Server 2005 and RDO.

I have a hosted solution where the web host provider tells me I'm running on a 2005 platform, but when I check the DB options, it shows compatibility level 80. The provider tells me I'm not losing any performance by running in the lower compatibility mode. Is this truly the case? What else am I losing out on in terms of features or capabilities?

On my current contract we have a SQL 2005 box with a user database and the tempdb database in 6.5 compatibility mode. I would like to remove the user database and change the tempdbs compatibility mode. When you try and use EM just about everything fails with errors about collation or syntax. From what I have found it could be related to the tempdb being in 6.5 compatibility mode but either way I would like to remove this old unused DB.
My question is after I remove the user DB and reset the tempdb compatibility mode what will or could break? I haven't been able to find much on what would change or what to look out for after the change is made. Has anyone else done this? If so what issues did you face.
Thanks

Hi All,
We have upgraded our database from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 keeping the compatibility level 80.
Now the question is -
Would microsoft support compatibility level 80 in SQL Server 2005 even after the extended support date for SQL Server 2000?
OR
If Microsoft dropped the support for SQL 2000, then would Microsoft support compatibility level 80 in SQL Server 2005?
Thanks

We have the following trace flags present in startup in SQL server 2000:
809
1204
3605
3913
Need to understand if these should be required in SQL Server 2005 + SP2 version. I have run the upgrade advisor tool which indcates that the behaviour of some flags has changed and some other TFs are no longer applicable. Hence, I want to know about the above mentioned TFs.

In my office, we offer support for applications developed in Access 2003 in a SQL Server 2000 environment, for some of our clients.
In one PC we have installed MsOffice 2003 and recently installed SQL Server 2005 personal edition, but now we have a problem because there is a compatibility problem between them. We need some upgrade for Access to avoid it, but can't find it.
Can We fix this problem, maintainning Access 2003 and SQL Server 2005 personal edition and maintainning the support for our clients?
Notice that our clients can't upgrade, in the short time.

Hello All,
I am in the process of upgrading my current database in SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. I have finished my analysis using the upgrade advisor and have found a lot of SPs having upgrade related issues. From what I estimate I think it will take around 3-4 weeks to resolve all of those issues. I wanted a quicker way to upgrade my database since we have very little time for the final release. The main reason for upgrade to 2005 was use of new features like Database Mirroring and/or peer to peer replication alongwith the Partitioning features and the new T-SQL enhancements.
The question I wanted to ask was does the compatibility level 80 of SQL Server 2005 supports these new features.
From what I have read on the KB article at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822400 is that mirroring is supported in any compatibility level, but there is no specific mention on the peer to peer thing.
Also when I personally tried using the New Partitioning Features of 2005 on the database having compatibility 80, it worked fine. Also other features like SQLCLR and TRY...CATCH works fine.
One thing I observed was that new T-SQL statements like PIVOT/UNPIVOT is not supported
It will be nice if someone can give out the entire list of features that will be supported in the compatibility Level 80 and also the list of the ones that are not supported.
Thanks in Advance,
Mitesh

Hi,
We are planning to upgrage our SS 2000 databases(couple of hundreds) to SS 2005.
To minimise the potential work arounds, it is agreed to have complex databases, continue running on compatibility mode 80. What are the potential impact of having database on mode 80(apart from not being able to use new feature)on SS2005?
Fruther how we can we import SS 2000 DTSs to SS 2005 SSIS in an cluster environment?
Thanks,

Hi All
I€™m having a problem setting up maintenance plans on one of our SQL 2005 servers but first here€™s a bit of back ground.
The server is a Virtual machine running win2k3R2 SP2 server std and SQL 2k5, A supplier arrived to install and app on the server when discovering there app didn€™t work with 2k5 they seem to have set the 2 dbs on the server into 2k compatibility mode and set the entire SQL install to think its a 2000 install. (I€™m not sure how this is done all I can see is the wrong version number in management studio) The problem this is giving me it that the folder in management studio for Database Maintenance Plans is no longer under the management folder instead it under a sub folder called Legacy (which is how management studio seems to deal with all registered 2000 instances) and as such a can no longer right click and create new database maintenance plans is there any way around this or will I have to setup my backup job manually?
Ohh and have the supplier shot at dawn
Thanks All
Jon

Hello all,i'm moving all my development to the new 2005/Fw2 environment.Now, i have an MSSQL 2005 server on the development server. To restore an existing database, i've created a new database with MSSQL 2000 compatibility level, and i've restored the backup over it. Everything seems ok, but when i try to create a diagram, i get the following error message:"Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because the database does not have a valid owner. To continue, first use the Files page of the Database Properties dialog box or the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to set the database owner to a valid login, then add the database diagram support objects."I've checked the properties and there seems to be the right owner (sa). If i create a new database with 2005 compatibility level, everithing works fine.Where is the problem?Also, a side question: by setting compatibility level to 2000, is it correct that the database can be deployed to a 2000 Server environment with no problems?Thanks in advance for any advice. -LV

I installed SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition. When i create a new database (using the "New Database" dialog) i cannot set the new database's compatibility level to "SQL Server 2005(90)" because this option is not in the "dropdown list". the only items shown are: "SQL Server 7.0(70)" and "SQL Server 2000(80)". I set the owner to "sa". How do i get "SQL Server 2005(90)" in my "compatibility level" drop down list? Is this an installation option that i missed? Thanks in advance for any assistance!

I know my problem is not directly associated w/ SSIS, so please forgive the post here. I figured this would be the "most" appropriate place to post this challenge.
We're attempting to edit a 2000 DTS package in Design mode from within the 2005 SQL Management Studio. To do this we downloaded/installed the following packages from the MS download site:
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer Components
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility Components
We're able to open the package in design mode from the Management Studio (Server > Management > Legacy > Data Transformation Services > DTS Package Name). But, when the DTS designer is open, the backspace and arrow keys won't respond in the Management Studio. They begin responding when we close the DTS designer. There are no error messages when we close the DTS designer.
Does anyone know of a fix or a workaround? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Mike

I know the ..Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLLOGErrorLog on the server contains the information. But that needs I to RDP to the server or open the file remotely. Is there any other way to find out the port from my SSMS connection?
I remember in SQL Server 2000 you could find the information by choosing Properties of a connection in EM and click on the Network Configuration button. (I know it works when you are ON THE SERVER! But when I tried from my desktop, pressing the button didn't do anything)

Ok guys, I am trying to install Sql server 2005 on Vista but I am still stuck with this warning message in the System Configuration Check during Sql server 2K5 installation :
SQL Server Edition Operating System Compatibility (Warning)
Messages
* SQL Server Edition Operating System Compatibility
* Some components of this edition of SQL Server are not supported on this operating system. For details, see 'Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2005' in Microsoft SQL Server Books Online.
Now, I know I need to install SP2 but how the hell I am going to install SP2 if Sql server 2005 doesn't install any of the components including Sql server Database services, Analysus services, Reporting integration services( only the workstation component is available for installation)?
Any work around for this issue?
P.S.: I didn't install VS.NET 2005 yet, can this solve the problem?
Thanks.

I am in the process of migrating from Sql Server 2000 to 2005. Part of my plan is to move some database's to 2005, but use the 2000 compatibility mode for the short term. My issue is this, our DR boxes are still on SQL Server 2000, would I still be able to use our log shipping processes? Or would I be better off in starting with migrating the DR boxes to 2005 first?

Hello,
I have found code on how to find sql server instances on your local network but my question is. Is there an easy way to find a local copy of SQL Server 2005 and what the name of the instance is. Beacuse the program I am writing will need a sql server installed somewhere on the network then it will allow the user to select either the local copy or a network copy of the sql server

Hi,
We're currently developing an application against SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition. Recently, we've started to consider deploying certain installations against SQL Server Express. We're particularly worried about some stored procedures we've written taking advantages of features which will not be available in SQL Server Express, is there a simple compliance tool or such that we can scan our existing tables/functions/stored procedures/etc with to identify potential pitfalls when running on SQL Server Express?
Thanks,
Jeremy
