I am running a SQL 2000 server (Server A) on Win2000. I have a seperate server(Server B) running SQL 7.0 on NT6.0. When I attempt to create a linked server From B to A, I am unable to connect but I am able to create a linked server from A to B and connect( but I can go the opposite direction from A to B and connect). We have another server (Server C) that is running SQL 2000 and NT6.0. We can connect from B to C (so we are assuming that issue is not one of version compatability between versions 7.0 and 2000). The server Network configurations on all the servers are the same. The only difference is Win2000. Are there any other factors we may not have considered?

I don't have any extra machines, so I'm thinking of evaluating SQL2K on one of my existing boxes with SQL 7 already installed. My experience is that SQL 6.5 co-existed extraordinarily well with SQL 7. Does the same apply to the SQL 7 / SQL 2K combination? Thanks!

iam under process of upgrading sql7 to sql2000. already i upgraded clients to sql2000. then i got problem with some of our applications to connect to sql7 server. then i replaced in clients new ntwdblib.dll with old one then it works fine. to overcome this problem shall i install MDAC2.6 on server, where sql7 is there.
Is there any problem to SQLserver7.0 with MDAC2.6 ? because i want to install MDAC2.6 on production server with sql7.0.
I'm converting DBs from SQL7 to SQL2K; the previous owner & server issues had created secondary data and/or log files. The size of the databases, and the configuration of the new server, do not warrant those secondary files. In restoring the databases from SQL7 to SQL2K, either by detach/copy/attach or backup/restore, is there a method for deleting the secondary files without, of course, losing any data?!
Just wanted to know if anyone is aware of any issues with NT40/SQL70 & Win2K/SQL2K servers in a Windows 2003 domain? ... or if anyone can point me to some links to read up on ... thanks in advance for any response.
Below is the script. The problem is when I simulated the Oracle linkdrop, my SQL2K never have to a chance to head to the GOTO section as itdies with this error msg and exit. Any idea on a workround?

The company for which I work did not have a DBA until I started a few weeks ago. Whoever installed SQL2K used the wrong CD so they have been running Personal Edition on their servers. I have installed a new SQL2K standard instance and have restored everything except the jobs and DTS packages. Can the msdb from the Personal edition be restored to the standard instance?
Is it possible to downgrade SQL from Enterprise to Standard Edition, or do you have to remove the previous installation (uninstall) and reinstall. Meaning you would also have to restore all user databases? Thanks.
Our RAM is constantly at 75% of the physical memory. The CPU usage ranges from 10-90%. I need recommendations on brand and specs. I would like to keep the cost under $10k.
It needs to have RAID 1 for the OS and at least 200GB RAID 5 or 10 for the data. We would also like to have hot swappable drives.
Here's the configuration I am considering...
Brand: Dell (Not sold on this yet) CPU: Dual Quad 2Ghz Xeons RAM: 8GB HD 1: 36GB RAID 1 HD 2: 300GB RAID 10 OS: Windows 2003 64bit SQL: SQL 2005 64bit
What are the pros/cons of upgrading from SQL 2000 32bit to SQL 2005 64bit? Also, any recommendations on the hardware?

We have a current install of SQL2005 Developer on a Win 2003 Server Enterprise and it works as advertised. It is accessed as Test05
Yesterday a SQL2000 Developer Edition was also installed on the same Server as named instance Test05Test052000.
The 2000 seems to start and run OK and can be connect to by Management studio etc from that same box. However it can not be connect to via the network. Any ideas?
One of my clients has installed SQL5K at their HeadOffice. However there are some production units are there running under SQL2K. We have one stored procedure which used to update the masters from HO to Units. Under SQL2K it was working fine, but when we run the procedure on HO under SQL5K, it returns the following error message.
**************************************
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "charlie1" returned message "Unspecified error". OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "charlie1" returned message "The stored procedure required to complete this operation could not be found on the server. Please contact your system administrator.". Msg 7311, Level 16, State 2, Line 4 Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES_INFO" for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "charlie1". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used. *************************************
The above also ocurs when I simply issue the command :
SELECT * FROM [server2K].[Mydatabase].[dbo].[MyTable]
I've tried to add the server with "sp_addlinkedserver" it was added successfully. The login info is same across the servers.
An unknown person at a client's site installed IIS on a production SQL Server. I would like to remove it (it's not being used and the service is shut down). Does anyone know of any troubles with uninstalling IIS? Will the removal also hose SQL?
How 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.
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.
Is there any special procedure to install a SQL7 (plus sp3) and a SQL8 server on a Windows 2000 Server.
I did succed installing both of them, but all of my applications are behaving strangely ()error msg ect)...So I may supose that there some kind of predefined process to have those kind of installation working properly..?
Can you please advise on how to copy tables from DB1 to DB2 on the same SQL 7 Server. The programer had me drop the tables from DB2 and wants me to copy the tables from DB1 to DB2.
We have two servers each running SQL7. I cannot run a trace on one server from the other. Whatever server name I enter in the drop down box, the trace only records activity on the server that profiler is running on. Even if I put a non-existent server name in the box (!), the trace accepts the name but still only runs on the host server.
I have been asked to install Sql 7 on a Win2K server. I am looking for White papers, articles, postings etc which identify potential issues or known issues. I have looked through MSDN, Win2K, Microsoft Sql7 and TechNet for specifics. Any suggestions?
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?
