It is assumed the max database size for MSDE 2000 is 2GB. But actually I am able to save more than 2 GB to an MSDE database, now its size is more than 5GB. I am confused. What is the actual size limit for MSDE?
View 5 RepliesHi there,
I recently saw that the transaction log files of user dbs grow undefinitely in SQL Server 2000 - one of our customers had a 11 GB log file which totally slowed down the server.
Another customer of ours uses one of my applications logging all actions in a MSDE database file and I fear that the corresponding transaction log file will grow and block the system too - is there any way that I could shrink and set the max size of the transaction log file through SQL?
I already know the command "SHRINK FILE ('filename')" but I haven't found a SQL command to set the max size.
Thank you for any hints!

Hi all,Here is my situation.I have an application that uses SQL 2000. The client has a programthat uses MSDE. The client MUST have the MSDE version of the Database.What I have done is to create a SQL 2000 Database that is exactly likethe MSDE version. What I wish to do, is at regularly scheduledintervals, update the SQL 2000 Data with the newest MSDE Data.On my clients server, they have both MSDE and SQL 2000 installedthe msde has a user name and password to access it, whereas the SQL2000 uses authenticated mode to access it.What I'm trying to do is to write a bunch of SQL Queries, that I canrun that will copy over the new Data, but I'm having problems accessingthe msde database in query analyzer from the SQL DatabaseCan anyone give me hints on the best way to try thisThanksScott
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have detached my database from the server and copied the mdf and ldf files to the new PC do I need to do anything but attach it to the MSDE? What about logins, roles, etc... does all this remain the same or do I need to delete the old and reenter them?
Please provide any help, thank you.
Greetings all,
Is theyr an Graphical edit interface for the MSDE 2000 A database ? Windows based would be best.
Tnx for the answer.

I designed a database for daily reporting system. It involves mainly INSERT operations and data retrieval. The problem here is the size of database is growing rapidly beyond the estimation. I changed the datatypes from int to tinyint, even after that i didn't find any difference in size of the database. Please suggest me solution by which i can optimize the database size also suggest me some tips by which i can estimate the database size. Please respond at the earliest possible.

I am having a bit of a mare on the database backup front - i.e. monster
DB, not a great deal of space to back it up into.
As I do the backup, the file on the disk seems to stay at 2KB
How does the file get written? Is there a temp somewhere first?
Cheers in advance - Dave

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have MSDE installed on my computer and I'm using Web Data Administrator to manage my databses. The problem is that whenever I add a column with a length of more than 8000, I get the following error:
Length must be between 0 and 8000
If I create the column programmatically then i get this error:
The following error occured while executing the query:
Server: Msg 131, Level 15, State 2, Line 2
The size (8005) given to the column 'Article' exceeds the maximum allowed for any data type (8000).
I need several columns that can hold around
32,000 characters. What's the deal? Is this a limit with MSDE, or am I
missing something?
Thanks
Can you install Sql Server 2000 Developer Edition with MSDE 2000 release A already installed?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy objective is to use Enterprise Manager to move (copy) my SQL db from the server to my windows desktop computer.
I downloaded MSDE and am having trouble installing it, no doubt because I do not understand the documentaion (ReadMeMSDE2000A.htm).
When I try to run setup, I get that message that says:
"A strong SA password is required for security reasons. Please use SAPWD switch to supply the same."
Considering my purpose, do I need a "strong" SA password? If not, how do I get around it? If yes, how do I set it up?
I am a Mac user so I have poor windows skills, please make it as painless as possible for me, thanks!

Thanks in advance. What is maximum SQL Server database (*.mdf) file size with SQL Server 2000 as part of Microsoft Small Business Server 2000? (Database files were limited to 10 GB in SBS 4.5 with SQLServer 7.0... has this changed?).
View 1 Replies View RelatedWill any application developed against SQL Server 2000 Developer
Edition work on an identical platform with only MSDE 2000 installed? I
understand there's a concurrency limit with MSDE 2000 of around 25 (and there's no GUI) but apart
from that, are there any aspects of SQL Server 2000 functionality (from the .NET applicaiton code's point of view) that
are "disabled" in MSDE 2000?
Trying to transfer databases from MSDE to SQL. When I use SQLEnterprise Manager - DTS - import or export, it works for the firstdatabase, but then fails for the others. I select the to and fromdatabases using DTS - Import - 'MS OLE DB Provider for SQL Server',then select 'Copy objects and data between SQL Servers'. It failswith the generic error message: 'Copy objects failed', nothingfurther. I tried to just copy data, and it doesn't work totally. Ontwo databases, it said that it copied everything, but when I go inunder Enterprise manager, some of the tables are incomplete, i.e. nodata, table shows up in the list, but if you try to look at it, itsays that it is missing or empty. Also, one table was not evencopied. In the other two cases, I get errors, does not copy alltables. I get errors, like insert fails, but the column it referencesfor the table does not even exist in that table. Any suggestionswould be appreciated.
View 2 Replies View Relatedi went through the documentation but i was not clear on following, here is the scenario :-
a Central server is having SQL Server 2000
3 Remote Locations :- Each having 4-5 no of computers, connected on a Lan, and on one of the machines MSDE 2000 will be running.
My Questions are :-
1. Can remote locations, update data locally and send changes (say in every one hour) to central server. If yes, then how ??
2. Same way they can receive updates from Central Server on whatever was updated on Centra Server or on the 3 remote locations. If yes, then How ??
any help will be highly appreciable.
I am creating an install program and I'm wondering if there is a
difference between SQL Server 2000 and MSDE 2000? Do they have
different entries in the Registry?
From the documentation that I've read it seems as if they are one and the same.
However, if someone knows how to differentiate between them in the Registry it would be greatly appreciated.

I am about to setup an application server. This app will generate reports and instead of just having a HTML page up, I am considering running dotnetnuke type portal to offer the userbase a better interface for the reports, info, announcement, etc.
Server isn't too bad (2x1.7Ghz Xeon I think, 2GIG RAM) type of setup (may be little more or less). App doesn't require as much resources, but we are planning for the future )
While I have some resource to play with, I also need to make sure I don't load much that may impact the application performance. In my experience, SQL Server 2000 will take a lot of resources even when not used as much. So I am considering MSDE.
I am curious however, WHAT ARE THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SQL 2000 Server Vs MSDE 2000 ?
Beside no Client tool and mostly command line specific command, what else there to convince that I should go for server vs desktop engine?
Now our company has Enterprise license for SQL, so I am not worried about the cost (well a little maybe), but mostly wondering about performance.
If you think of any reason why I go to SQL Server 2000 over MSDE, please let me. Otherwise, I think MSDE in this case is the appropriate RDBMS to go for.

Hi,
How does one install MSSQL 2000 on a machine that's already running MSDE 2000? Do i need to unintstall MSDE, or both can be installed seperately??
Is there a way to simply upgrade MSDE into MSSQL 2000?
Thanks!

Hi,
i use this script that show me the size of each table and do the sum of all the table size.
SELECT
X.[name],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[rows]), 1), '.00', '') AS [rows],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[reserved]), 1), '.00', '') AS [reserved],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[data]), 1), '.00', '') AS [data],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[index_size]), 1), '.00', '') AS [index_size],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[unused]), 1), '.00', '') AS [unused]
FROM
(SELECT
CAST(object_name(id) AS varchar(50)) AS [name],
SUM(CASE WHEN indid < 2 THEN CONVERT(bigint, [rows]) END) AS [rows],
SUM(CONVERT(bigint, reserved)) * 8 AS reserved,
SUM(CONVERT(bigint, dpages)) * 8 AS data,
SUM(CONVERT(bigint, used) - CONVERT(bigint, dpages)) * 8 AS index_size,
SUM(CONVERT(bigint, reserved) - CONVERT(bigint, used)) * 8 AS unused
FROM sysindexes WITH (NOLOCK)
WHERE sysindexes.indid IN (0, 1, 255)
AND sysindexes.id > 100
AND object_name(sysindexes.id) <> 'dtproperties'
GROUP BY sysindexes.id WITH ROLLUP) AS X
ORDER BY X.[name]
the problem is that the sum of all tables is not the same size when i make a full database backup.
example of this is when i run this query against my database i see a sum of 111,899 KB that they are 111MB,but when
i do full backup to that database the size of this full backup is 1.5GB,why is that and where this size come from?

Hello all, im new here and do not have no experience with sql. I am trying to install a tax software that I need to run my little business. When I install it gets to a popint that it asks me for my SQL server usernme and password. I remember doing this last year and I reinstalled MSDE and set up a username and password. I seem to not remember what I used, i tried all that I would have but can not get past that step.
I remember adding some lines in the setup,ini file when I installed it last year. Now I can go ahead and reinstall it again and set up a new one, but will the uninstalling and reinstalling of MSDE affect my previous software from last year? Its the same software but I need this years installed.
I have tried using sa as the username and a blank password, with a password and others that I have read up on, still cant log on. Keep getting worng credential screen.
Is there a way to get that info, i doubt it or else it would not be secure, or can I just simply reinstall MSDE?
Many thanks!!

Hello to everyone.
I'm looking for an help :(
I'ved installed MSDE on a Windows 2000 Pro with this option in Setup.ini :
INSTANCENAME=msde
SECURITYMODE=SQL
SAPWD=<mypassword>
All goes good, and at the end of install process, i restart pc.
When restarting, i logged in , and the icon of MSDE was in the System Tray.
Strange thing, is that the circle in the icon have no red square or green arrow inside, but is empty.
I open the window of MSDE and at Server and Service, was 2 empty fields.
I filled on SERVER with the IP address of my pc
Service Field, continue to be blank :(
When i try to start the MSDE, it tells to me that there's no selected service, so the MSDE can't start.
Have someone some ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks to everyone for help!

Hi,
I have a customer with Office 2000 and uses Access 2000. I normally use SQL/7, but for this job would it be save to use MSDE on the web site so the customer can upload and download the MSDE file for product information? I use SQL/7 for the backend. Please advise.
