View 1 RepliesHi fellow techs! I am getting to know SQL 2000 intimately and it's been a fun ride with the top down!
My question is, are there any gotchas that I should be aware of in SQL 2000 if I want to change 3 of my databases running on one 2000 SQL server from simple to full recovery model? I want to begin backing up the log file for point in time purposes, but don't want anything to break by disregarding the gotchas, if there are any.
Thanks!
Hi,
I have upgraded my server from 6.5 to 7.0.The application is running
on PowerBuilder 6.5.After upgrade the performence of application is
down by 200 % .The application basically validates claims.All the code
is written in front end except for one trigger.When i ran a trace on 7.0
i found s system stored procedure SP_cursoropen which is taking more time.
I found from 6.5 trace for same data the same procedure is taking very less
time.I came to know from BOL that this procedure is used internally by
SQL server to deal with server side cursors written from front end
application.Is there any way to tune the server to improve performence.
I found a configuration option Cursor_Threshold .Can any one suggest me
about this configuration option?
Thanks in Advance

It was possible to read the transaction log on SQL 6.5 with DBCC LOG and find out what was going on. Is there any way to do this in SQL 7.0/2000 or do you now have to rely on SQL Profiler? I have noticed that SQLProbe has a log viewer in it and would like to know how they did it.

Our developers want to implement a new system but rather than buy new db servers for the purpose, they'd like to use existing kit - as consolidation seems to be the direction our company is going in. We are in the process of purchasing new servers which host 64-bit windows 2003 and 64-bit sql 2005.
The developers don't really have a requirement as to whether the db servers are 32-bit or 64-bit, but as they want to make use of our kit, their new system will potentially be hosted on 64-bit os/sql 2005. As they haven't done the reseacrh into potential issues, we'll have to do that for them - is there anything we need to worry about? I know there are some issues with SSIS, such as no 64 bit support for Jet Engine data sources, etc. Is there anything else we need to be aware of?
Any tips would be appreciated!
Thanks,

Hi,
Does Microsoft have (for those MS folks who monitor this forum) or has anyone compiled a list of gotchas on running SSIS for x64. I know of two right now from this forum (and there are undoubtedly more):

I was thinking of deploying an SSIS infrastructure on Windows Server 2003 x64, but if there are too many problems or complicated workarounds, it might not be worth it.
Thanks,

I'm about to unistall V6.5 from my 7.0 server. Has anyone done this yet?
Does it require a machine reboot? Have you had any problems after the uninstall? Is it really as simple as the BOL leads me to believe?
Hi,
I have a SQL2000 database that I want to move to SQL7. What's the best
way to do that?
Many thanks.
Could anyone inform me how much the conventional memory SQL7 Enterprise on Advanced Server 2000 can have?
The SQL is on an active/active cluster. Currently each runs at 2GB of memory, with available memory for failover. I am planning to add another 2GB to each SQL node. Is this possible? Are there any configurations I need to do? Do I need to set AWE enabled? and How much?
Your help is greatly appreciate.

I used to rely heavily on the sysobjects.crdate under mssql 6.5 to identify the last time an object was updated (primarily sprocs, but also tables and views). With the Sql7 Alter command, there doesn't seem to be any easy way to tell the last time an object was changed. Is this data stored out on any of the system tables/information views?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe are running SQL 7 on a Windows NT Server. If you copy a 25Mb filefrom this machine to a W2K server, the file copy takes over 5 minuteson a 100Mpbs switched network.Copying the same file to another NT server takes only seconds, andcopying the same file to the W2K server from the 2nd NT server, (whichis not running SQL) takes only seconds also.Has anyone any ideas as to why file copying between this machine and aW2K one will take so long. It is repliacted on 5 further w2K machines.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow can I copy a SQL 7 database from one server to another? Please tell me all the ways because I've tried the obvious and it doesn't work. (backup and restore - won't go from one server to another, DTS transfer object Wizard - does a whole pile of errors and doesn't do stored proceedures and trigures). Thanks for help in advance. Also, what is the email address to post to the listserv and where is the FAQ for SQL7? Most of my listserv's tell you where to post right at the bottom of the digest I get - any chance you guys would do that with this list? Thanks again.

After installing SP2 we encounter a problem with MMC. When selecting a DB we recieve a RunTime error? And the DB items/properties are not shown.
Is there anyone with the same problem and knows how to fix this? I search the MS site for more information but there is nothing on it.

Is MS SQL 7.0 have any difference/incompatibility problem with the BackOffice's SQL 7.0?
anybody can clarify this to me please... tq!
I am going to install SQL7.0 on the current NT4.0 with SQL6.5 on it by uninstalling SQL6.5 first and then installing (not upgrading through Wizard) SQL7.0.
Here are the questions I need help with:
1. Should I convert the database after the installation of SQL7.0 or directly restore the SQL6.5 databases backup?
2. If I need to convert the databases, How and in what way?
3. Which way is better upgrade or installation?
Thank you ahead of time

I am looking for documentation/information on how to configure SQL7 so that I

I have other applications which use SMTP for delivering our e-mail.
I don't have Exchange. Internally we use GroupWise for our mail system.
Thanks in advance!!!

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi folks. Got a real doozy going. One of the network techs reinstalled NT4 SP5 on a server. This reverted the SQL driver back to 2.something. Now sqlserveragent jobs will not run.
I have tried to instal MDAC 2.5, but it doesn't change the driver up to the new 3.xxx driver. I searched around on here and folks said that you have to move the MDAC executable to a new directory. for the new MDAC I don't see MDAC.EXE. I did find MDAC.COM and renamed that. Tried to rerun MDAC 2.5 but still got the old SQLSRV32.Dll.
Uninstalled SQLServer and reinstalled. still got the old SQLSRV32.Dll.
Tried to apply SQLServer SP1. It died.
Found that I am to shutdown some services. Did that. SP1 still dies.
Tried to apply SQLSERVER SP2. It tries to pick up where it died and it dies again.
SO, I'm currently uninstalling SQLServer, reboot, installing SQLServer, reboot, Trying SP2 again.
Didn't think that it was brain surgery just to install a new flippin version of the ODBC driver.. SHEEZ!!!!
Does anyone know of a sp similar to sp_helprevdatabase (SQL 6.5) for SQL 7.0? Will I need to use SQLDMO or can I use DTS somehow.

Starting with Win2k you are not suppossed to have to install MDAC, as it comes with the OS. What about when I install SQL7 and it automatically installs MDAC. Do I have to reinstall MDAC in this case?

I need to know can I use Japanese characters in SJIS format with American SQL 7 on Win2K. I must be able to integrate a Japanese language database and an English language database on one platform. Since most people working on this project are bilingual, it would be OK to get Win2K Japanese. But I am not sure how to get SQL Japanese in the states, where I am working now.
Can you helP?

Is there any way in which I can move an objects/ data to another
filegroup using transact sql?
I have created a table such that the data is on a secondary filegroup.
But the table has image and text data and this data is going to
the PRIMARY filegroup.
I tried chnging the filegroup for the text data but this property but does not change(I did it through EM).
As a result, the disk which contains the primary filegroup is getting filled up.
I have configured my database such that the primary file group is on one disk and the secondary on another and the log on the same disk as the primary filegroup.
I have given lesser space to the primary file group and more space to the secondary filegroup.
help on this is greatly appreciated because my system is rapidly growing with respect to data.
thanks and best regards

Has anybody had any problems with mmc crashing when running Enterprise Manager on SQL Server 7.0/SP1? This occurs on a fairly regular basis on several of our development NT client machines (NT SP4 and SP5). We are running Version 1.1 of mmc. Is there a later version (or service pack) we need to be using?
Any comments on this would be appreciated.
Thanks
I am attempting to connect to sql7 using isql_w and integrated security. No go. If I try to connect using standard security, all goes well. I am using tpc/ip, but if I switch to multiprotocal with integrated security, it works. Why won't integrated security work with tcp/ip?
