Backwards Technology(SQL 2005 - SQL 2000)
Hi ALL In my script below. I'm trying to update a SQL Server 2000 DB with data from SQL Server 2005. I've written a Cursor to call tables from information schema. Compare the data between 2005 and 2000 then Insert into SQL 2000 Table. But I'm getting The multi-part identifier "c.ID" could not be bound.. Can you please help me to resolve this. DECLARE @TableName VARCHAR(255) DECLARE @Sql VARCHAR(1000) DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR FOR SELECT Table_Name FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE Table_Type = 'Base Table' and Table_Name like 'L_%' OPEN TableCursor FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN DECLARE @Line VARCHAR(1000) SET @Line = '' SELECT @Line = @Line + 'c.'+ c.Column_Name + ' , ' FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES T JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS C ON t.Table_Name = c.Table_Name WHERE t.Table_Name = @TableName and t.Table_Name like 'L_%' SELECT @Sql = SUBSTRING(@Line, 1, LEN(@Line) -1) SELECT @Sql = 'SELECT'+ ' ' + @Sql SELECT @Sql = @Sql + 'INTO dbo.L_BrokerTest' SELECT @Sql = @Sql + ' '+ 'FROM'+ ' ' SELECT @Sql = @Sql + @TableName + ' ' +'A' + ' ' SELECT @Sql = @Sql + 'LEFT JOIN' SELECT @Sql = @Sql + '[Blake-DBN12].Staging.dbo.'

SQL Server 2005 To SQL Server 2000 Scripts/files Not Compatible =(
Hi, I have been developing a rather large database in SQL Server 2005, and was informed that the database is going to be SQL Server 2000, so in the database creation options I chose the backward compatibility option for compatibility with SqlServer 2000. When I have gone to port the database to 2000, it said it was not a readable format and that it was incompatible. So instead of getting angry I wrote a neat little C# program that took the data and structure of my 2005 database, which then deployed it onto the 2000 server which worked fine. However it hates Stored Procedures of which I have a fair few. I try and deploy the stored procedures via a script tool in 2005, but it does not like sys.object. So my few humble questions are: 1. Is there a work around script to deploy the stored procedures, without having to manually type out each one? 2. Does anyone know of a better way to deploy the 2005 database onto the 2000 sql server?

SQL Server 2005 Backwards Compatability
I'm sure this question has already been asked, I made an attempt to search the forums, but was unsuccessful. Our production servers are currently running SQL Server 2000 3a. I just got a new development system and have no intentions of installing SQL Server 2000 dev, but SQL Server 2005 Dev Edition. I was wondering if I will still be able to install SQL2005 and still be able to administer/modify 2000 mdfs with SQL 2005 Enterprise Manager. I wanted to be able to still make development on SQL 2k5 and update the production server (SQL2k). This is on my dev system not the production, the production will still be running SQL 2k, until the client decides on purchasing SQL 2k5. Of course I will not be able to use the new db features and types on a SQL2000 server, I just want to maintain the legacy with 05 Enterprise Manager (i.e.: SP, UDF and DTO). Thanks a gig. Larry

Can I Access A Database Backwards? (I Really Want To Display The Information Backwards Actually).
I am new to accessing sql stuff and asp.net I have some code in a .cs page that accesses a sql database and displays the information on a page from top to bottom (press releases: www.managewatch.com/press). I created this site but I used the code from the old site and just implemented it. I'd like to have the press releases display from newest on top to oldest on bottom. Is there a way I can do this? I have included the code in my cs page that does this: protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { // connect to db SqlConnection db = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["xxxx"].ConnectionString); db.Open(); // Initialize Objects SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(); cmd.Connection = db; SqlDataReader row; // COUNT PAGES ######################################## cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM press"; row = cmd.ExecuteReader(); while (row.Read()) { Literal pressReleaseTitle = new Literal(); Literal pressReleaseBody = new Literal(); pressReleaseTitle.Text = "<div id='pressheader'>" + row["title"].ToString() + "</div>"; pressReleaseBody.Text = "<div id='pressbody'>" + row["content"].ToString() + "</div><br>"; lblPressReleases.Controls.Add(pressReleaseTitle); lblPressReleases.Controls.Add(pressReleaseBody); } row.Close(); db.Close(); } I can see what is happening here "cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM press";" tells it to get all the info from "press" but I just don't get the " row = cmd.ExecuteReader();" part. Is this just grabbing one line of the database? what does this code do? Thanks!

SQL 2000 -&&> SQL 2005 Merge Replication Compatible?
Hi everyone, I'm currently trying to setup a SQL 2k (SP3, build 922) merge replication publisher and a push subscription to a SQL 2005 (RTM release, no hotfixes) subscriber. The distribution database resides on a separate SQL 2k server (SP3, build 1007). I get the error below leading me to believe merge replication is not compatible between versions. Replication-agentclassname: agent Agent_Name failed. Procedure or function sp_MSupdatesysmergearticles has too many arguments specified.. I say this b/c I've tried SQL 2005 32-bit and x64 subscribers and both give the same error. Anyone have any ideas if this is by design or just a bug that will be fixed later? Thanks. LSC

How Compatible Is MSDE 2000 With SQL Server 2000?
Will 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?

Is SQL Server 2000/5 Compatible With Sybase 15 OLEDB Drivers?
I have been having tremendous trouble getting OLEDB connections to Sybase that I use within SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 to work properly - they always seem to revert to the older, third party Sybase drivers if they are installed on the machine and just generally cause problems - I have given up on using them within an SSIS package all together and gone down another route. Can anyone confirm to me whether or not this is because the version 15 native drivers that Sybase provide are not supported by SQL Server, please? Thank you

SQL 2005 License Downgrade To 2000
Does anyone know more details about "downgrade rights". Do you need to askMS for this right?

The downgrade rights enable you to purchase server plusdevice CALs, server plus user CALs, or processor licenses for SQL Server2005 and install and use the previous version for a reasonable period oftime.

Creating A SQL Server 2000 Compatible .BAK File From SQL Server Management Studio Express
Hi,My webhost (1and1) is running SQL Server 2000 and their web tool supports the import of .bak files. However, when I try to import my .bak files created in SQL Server Management Studio Express I get the following error:"The backed-up database has on-disk structure version 611. The server supports version 539 and cannot restore or upgrade this database. RESTORE FILELIST is terminating abnormally."I have Googled this error and learnt that 2005 .bak files are not compatible with 2000 .bak files. I'm just wondering if there are any work arounds to this or alternative tools that I can create 2000 compatible .bak files from from 2000/2005 .mdf files.Thanks in advance.

Is It A Compatible Bug In SQL Server 2005 ?
Hi, all here, I use SQL Server 2005 standard edition , I choose to use table(table stored in Oracle9i) as source for mining structure, and I use Oracle Provider for OLE DB(or Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle).I set one column as logic key and this column stored chinese data.Deployment was successful. When I processed the mining structure, an error happened: Warning 0x80202066:Data Flow Task :Connot retieve the column code page info from OLE DB provider.If the comopenent supports the "DefaultCodePage" property,the code page from that property will be used .Change the value of the property if the current string code page values are incorrect. If the component does not support the property, the code page from the component's locale ID will be used. But I created the same mining stucture and processed it successfully in SQL Server 2000. Is it a Compatible bug in SQL Server 2005？

Reporting Services 2005 In SQLServer 2000 License
I think this question may have arisen before but I'm not clear on the answer. We have customers using SQLServer 2000 with Reporting Services 2000. We want to upgrade them to Reporting Services 2005 but otherwise with identical setup. The question is, is there any cost involved in doing this from a license point of view?

Converting A 6.5 Compatible Db To SQL Server 2005
I'm trying to convert a 6.5 compatible db from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. The issue I'm encountering is that: 1. I cannot simply convert the 6.5 compatible db to SQL Server 2005. I tried restoring from a backup - no success. 2. I tried creating the structure in SQL Server 2005 and then importing the data from SQL Server 2000. Problem is - after importing the data, I then tried creating the primary key and indexes - get a time-out error (which I never got with SQL Server 2000.) I also tried creating the primary key and indexes in SQL Server 2005 FIRST before importing - got errors when trying to import and import failed. I know this sounds like a data problem but I have no problems working with this 3 gig database in SQL Server 2000. Can anyone please help? This is a pretty serious problem I need to overcome with the SQL Server 2005 conversion.

SQL Server 2000 To SS05 - License Upgrade
Hi, We have a product which uses SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition with Per Seat licensing option. Going forward with a new release of the product, we intend to upgrade to SQL Server 2005. Till now our product was being used in non web based scenarios so the Per Seat licensing option helped our case. In the upcoming release which would use SQL Server 2005 we need to break off from the non web based scenario as the product would use SQL Server over internet. So isn't it correct to go for the Processor based licensing instead of the Per seat licensing ? If so then what would be the ideal manner to upgrade the license from Per Seat (in SQL Server 2000) license type to Processor based (in SQL Server 2005) license type ? I have heard of Software Assurance providing assistance in version upgrades. Would it help in case I need to upgrade from one license type to another ? Or is it applicable only in case of upgrade where the license type is fixed ? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Arun

&&"Database Name (6.5 Compatible)&&" Under Management Studio Viewing Sql 2000 Server
I never noticed it before, but I am now using Management Studio to administer our sql databases and the issue became apparent. One of the databases located on a sql 2000 server, says "6.5 compatible", when viewed from Management Studio (but not from Enterprise Manager). What are the step needed to upgrade the database? (I think I need to run the Sql 2005 Upgrade Advisor first, fix any errors found, then manually change compatibility mode (to 80) from the sql 2000 server where the database is located. ) TIA, Barkingdog

@@Error Code In SQL 2000 - 7.0 Compatible Mode
We have an existing stored procedure that uses the @@error code. for every Delete being performed, @@error is used to caputre any errors and then used in the RAISEERROR statement. It worked in SQL Server 7.0., but it is not working in SQL 2000 even when the datbase is in 7.0 compatible mode. I rewrote the procedure to use a local variable that is set = to the global variable @@error and then I used the local variable in the RAISEERROR statement. Shouldn't the original code work in the 7.0 compatible mode?

After doing it I however need to update both the system and SQL Server license keys. And there comes my question whether one can change the SQL Server license key after the installation??
