Differences Between 2005, 2000, And Express - Documentation, Whitepapers?
Apr 27, 2007
Can anyone point me in the direction of some NON-sales documentation on the differences between these product? I am sure, especially with Express, there are considerable functionality and architecture differences.
I've looked in BOL, and I've done searches online.
All i seem to get is sales related stuff.
I'm curious about the architecture of SQL 2005, SQL express. In 2000, there was some fairly detailed documentaiton on this subject, but 2005 BOL seems REALLY diffucult to find things.
I may just need to try different keywords...

Two questions for you all...
1. Has anyone found a good software that does database documentation that is fairly priced and pretty much fully automatic. Something to document tables,views,stored procedures and so on...
2. Have any of you found a paper or better yet a chart that shows what is new to sql server 2005 that wasn't in 2000 and also more importantly what was available in 2000 that will not be supported in 2005?
Thanks

Hi all,
I'm just wondering if there is documentation anywhere to help me with installation of SQL 2005 Express on a remote computer. I've set up IIS 6.0 and Windows Server 2003 Web Edition on another computer and am planning to use that for a development server.
Currently I've already installed VWD Express (local computer) and SQL 2005 Express, as well as SQL Query Manager (remote computer). But I seem to be having problems with VWD being able to create databases when i edit the code remotely.
For example when I right-click on "Data Connections" in the "Database Explorer" to create a new database it won't let me. The only way I can do this is to add a connection to a database which I have previously created. And even then there are still problems.
If I set up the database by adding a connection I cannot seem to create stored procedures. The error message I keep getting is "This feature is not supported in Visual Developer".
Is this due to wrong settings whilst installing SQL Express? Or am I just not configuring it right?
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Firslty, my aplogies if this is documented elsewhere - I am a new user to SQL Team and not yet found everything! I hope someone here can help me...
In brief, I am making the foolish mistake of embarking on my third and final year of an MS(c) degree in forensic computing. For my final year project I am intending to study and document (for forensic computing purposes) the forensic capture and investigation of data from a MS SQL Server database.
However, my experience is mostly from MySQL! In other words, I know very little about the internal structure of MS SQL Server 2000 or 2005.
Which leads me to my question....
Can anyone point me in the direction of a technical pagedocumentpdf (whatever) that details what the core fundamental differences are between 2000 and 2005. I'm not talking about an MS publicity paper - no, I need a non-bias technical guide which states the differences as fact.
If the differences in 2005 are mostly just cosemtic (the GUI etc) then I'll study 2000 because lots is already known and documented about it it seems. However, if it's much more than that and the differences are specific to what I'm studying (the forensic capture) then I'll probably have to go with 2005 because that's what we will be encountering more of in the next few years and the differences will effect the investigator.
Your time and responses much appreciated.
Regards
Ted
(BTW - Having looked at the description of 'Inside Microsoft SQL Server 2000', it seems like it might be a good book for my project (if I do 2000). Would you guys agree?)

Hi,
I have a simple sql statement that used to work in SQL 2000 that isn't working in SQL 2005. The order by clause doesn't seem to have any effect on the result set. The sql statement is:
ALTER VIEW dbo.SELECT_PP_END
AS
SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT
PP_PERIOD_ID,
CONVERT(VARCHAR, PP_END_DATE, 101) AS PP
FROM dbo.PP_PERIODS
ORDER BY PP_END_DATE DESC
The period end date is appearing in ascinding order on sql server 2005 and in the correct order in sql 2000. Any idea? Thank you for your help
- T.A.

Some time ago I saw a section in sql 2005 BOL describing the t-sql features that have changed from sql 2000 to sql 2005. For example, some NULL handling and that "*=" is no longer supported. Can anyone find that refernece for me?
TIA,

I just wanted to post a difference I found between SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 regarding UDPATE statements that are done on a join. I understand that if tables are designed correctly this won't be a problem. But, when you inherit a bad design, you are unfortunately stuck with it. Hopefully this will help ease data differences in your migration from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005.
Run this code on a SQL 2000 connection, then run on SQL 2005. My guess on the behavior difference is strictly performance based since 2005 pulls the top result. Either way it can cause a lot of head scratching if you're not aware of it.
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#UpdateTestA') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #UpdateTestA
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#UpdateTestB') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #UpdateTestB
CREATE TABLE #UpdateTestA(
UpdateTestA int identity(1, 1),
FullName varchar(20),
UpdateData varchar(10))
CREATE TABLE #UpdateTestB(
UpdateTestB int identity(1, 1),
FullName varchar(20),
UpdateData varchar(10))
INSERT INTO #UpdateTestA(
FullName)
VALUES ('Barney Rubble')
INSERT INTO #UpdateTestB(
FullName,
UpdateData)
VALUES ('Barney Rubble', 'First')
INSERT INTO #UpdateTestB(
FullName,
UpdateData)
VALUES ('Barney Rubble', 'Second')
SELECT * FROM #UpdateTestA
UPDATE a
SET a.UpdateData = b.UpdateData
FROM #UpdateTestA a
INNER JOIN #UpdateTestB b on b.FullName = a.FullName
SELECT * FROM #UpdateTestA
DROP TABLE #UpdateTestA
DROP TABLE #UpdateTestB
Hope this solves a problem that you were having too.

I have the following a view on a SQL2K box that uses the following SELECT statement:
SELECT
SF.SKU,
SAT.PublicationDate AS SATPubDate,
SAM.PublicationDate AS SAMPubDat
FROM SkuFlags SF
LEFT OUTER JOIN SpringArbor_ttlsparb SAT ON SF.ISBN = SAT.ISBN
LEFT OUTER JOIN SpringArbor_music SAM ON SF.ISBN = SAM.PrimaryKey
WHERE (
(
( SAT.PublicationDate IS NOT NULL ) AND
( SAT.PublicationDate <> '010001' ) AND
( GETDATE() <= DATEADD(day, -1, ( CAST(LEFT(SAT.PublicationDate, 2) + '/01/' + RIGHT(SAT.PublicationDate, 4) AS DATETIME) )))
)
OR (
( SAM.PublicationDate <> '010001' ) AND
( SAM.PublicationDate IS NOT NULL ) AND
( GETDATE() <= DATEADD(day, -1, ( CAST(LEFT(SAM.PublicationDate, 2) + '/01/' + RIGHT(SAM.PublicationDate, 4) AS DATETIME)))
)
)
The view works in SQL2K. When I try to run it under SQL2K5, I get a "The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value." error. I know what the error is, the SAM.PublicationDate field has NULL values in it (and this is vendor supplied data that is updated frequently, so not dealing with NULL values isn't an option), so during the CAST function it's try to CAST NULL + /01/ + NULL into a DATETIME value and crashing.
My question is why this works in SQL2K and not SQL2K5?
Thanks,
Kevin

We have developed a mobile system that uses merge replication for SQL Mobile to SQL 2005. Previously we have developed mutliple mobile systems using merge replication for SQL Ce to SQL 2000.
Based on the knowledge we had gathered over about 4 years, we applied the synchronisation parameters for the SQL 2005 solution as we would for the SQL 2000 solution.
We have found there are some differences. Not too surprising I suppose, only some of these have us a little baffled.
For instance, there was a little flag called keep_partition_changes in SQL 2000 that is supposedly superceded by the use_partition_groups flag. However, if you don't set up your filtering to conform to the standards required by the use_pre_computed_partitions flag if you want it set to true, then the use_partition_groups flag gets set to false - also the @partition_options falg gets set back to 0 (static or non-unique data) when we want it at 3 (Single Parition, One subscriber).
To top it all off, when you get the use_partition_groups flag working, there are restrictions on which columns you can update on the device. WTF? This seems ludicrous, to be unable to update data at the subscriber - particularly information that allows you to effectively "delete" data from your subscription.
Examples of the current behaviour are as follows,
On initialize for a subscriber, the subscriber will receive their own data as inserts, plus exact multiples of that data as updates. Say there are 100 rows in TableA, the subscriber gets 100 inserts, plus 6000 updates. TableB has 20 rows, the subscriber gets 20 inserts, 1200 updates.
Further to this, performance goes out the window when synchronising changes. Typically the data flow will be between 5 and 200 changes in both directions for a synchronisation. We are seeing sync times in the replication monitor of over 20 seconds per user. Surely the calculations do not take that long. The tables in the database are not very large.
This behaviour gets significantly worse as we load the system. The application has an auto sync function which is timed to operate evry 10 minutes. However, now that there is in excess of 50 or so users on the system, those synchronisation times blow out to multiple minutes and the server starts to thrash. We have looked at indexing and maintenance but to no avail.
Everything still points to the merge replication setup.
So, it seems obvious to me that we are mising some key information about how to set up merge replication in SQL 2005. We woudl be very gratefull if someone could point out the errors of our ways.
Sorry for the convoluted post. Hope someone can help us.
Cheers
Steve

Hi,
Sorry for the wide distribution.
I'm trying to find any useful whitepapers about how to effectively build and operate a disaster recovery site at a remote location for SQL Server 2000. Does anyone know where to find such information?
I also know that one good option for my customer is using the Mirroring feature of SQL Server 2005. What are the other options? Is Replication an effective one for a mission-critical database (online banking)?
Thanks in advance

Hi Guru's,
I am kind of baffeled. I have a table with a column of 8 varchar in 2000
and the same in 6.5. When I insert into 2000 with a data length of more than 8 chars via Cold Fusion into the table, it fails. The same Cold Fusion
program inserts into the 6.5 table, but truncates the data but does not fail.
Does anyone know why this happens. Thanks, Newbie.

Hey all,
I have a VB6 app. If i run it against one SQL server - its fine. Another SQL 2000 server - it fails.
Here is the code
frm.AdodcTemp.Recordset.Delete adAffectCurrent
The error is
Run time error 3021
Either EOF or BOF is true, or the current recordset has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record.
They are both on Windows 2000 servers. I have checked SQL versions with @@version and
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel'), SERVERPROPERTY ('edition')
Both identical.
The i used components checker to check MDAC versions - both 2.8. Also then checked the related MDAC Dlls. All identical.
Only thing i am having real trouble checking is the "Server Network Utility" - which on the server that works (?) is giving me an error of 126 "the specified module could not be found". Any idea what could be causing this?
What else could be different? Any ideas?

Hello, I'll start by saying that I don't know the first thing about SQL.
I have product that I am trying to setup on a windows 2003 R2 SP2 server that requires SQL Server Express 2005. I have this same setup installed under Windows XP Pro SP2 and it works fine.
The product uses a PHP script to talk to the SQL Server to create the orginal DB but I get the following errors:
*******************************************************************************************************************************************
Creating initial MFP Database...

*********************************************************************************************************
I have enabled the running of PHP scripts under IIS in Windows 2003 R2 (along with all of the other listed web executables). But I am stuck. For some reason the PHP scripts seem to either not have permission to talk to the DB, or Windows has some extra security in it that I need to know how to work correctly with.
I also am checking my ODBC > System DSN
when I try to craete my datasource, I get:
Connection Failed:
SQLState: '08001'
SQL Server Error: 2
[Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2].
Connection failed;
SQLState: 'HYT00'
SQL Server Error: 0
[Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Login timeout expired
Connection Failed:
SQLState: '08001'
SQL Server Error: 2
[Microsoft][SQL Native Client] An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to the SQL server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
FYI I have set TCP/IP properties for SQL under Protocol > General > Enable - YES.
Thanks for any assistance.

I currently work for a company that has had a "family business" mentality for many years. The only trouble is, it has grown into a fairly large company over the years and that mentality just doesn't cut it anymore (We have around 200 employees in 2 offices, and 25-50 remote users).
I have recently taken over the role of System Administrator, and I'm having a lot of trouble trying to get everything under wraps. There are a LOT of un-documented things happening with our database/web server, and in order to keep things safe & secure, I need to try & flesh out what those mystery settings would be. I feel that NOW is the time to get some solid documentation down, to protect my ass before some critical failure happens.
I'm wading into unknown waters here, and I'm hoping that somebody who's "been there" might have some tips to make my life a little easier.
I have an IBM Bladecenter, and a spare blade with which I can use to re-produce as close to a mirror copy of our system as possible. I have installed windows 2003 /w SQL2000 and restored a full backup of our databases and imported all database user accounts, and logins. What about Maintenance Jobs? Error Logs? Patches/Hotfixes? Service accounts? Membership roles? System databases? ODBC Sources? Services? Startup Scripts? I'm sure the list could go on & on... What are some of the crucial details I should look into?
Has anybody been in this boat before having little knowledge of what was built before you arrived, and have any insight on how to get through this without too much headache?

Hi there,
I'm trying to find what are the main differences between SQL Server 2005 64-bits and 32-bits. So far, I've found some articles about TPC-C performance but I would like to know some response time or execution time of a batch or SSIS packages.
Any information about this 2 versions is appreciated.

Hiya,
I'm a SQL n000b, and have just joined the forum 5 minutes ago seeking an answer to this problem that I've encountered. It seems that the way connection strings are handled in SQL 2005 have changed. This connection string used to work, but is now borked:
<add key="DBNAME.ConnectionString" value="packet size=4096;integrated security=SSPI;data source='sqlvirdev0035dev35';persist security info=False;initial catalog=DBNAME;connection timeout=60" />
Has something explicitly changed in SQL 2005 that would break this <add key>? Does something need to be set server side in order to handle these connection strings now? I have no idea why this won't work anymore, I just know that it doesn't work.
Ty for any help,

Hi guyz,
I have basic knowledge of Sql Server 2005 and now i wanna move ahead in Oracle 9i !
So, i have 2 questions here -
a)Whats the Difference between Sql Server 2005 and Oracle 9 i ?
Note: Please keep the discussion general so that student like me can understand. I have never seen Oracle but the industry requirements suggest that Oracle is way better than than SQL Server 2005. But thats what i think
b)I am Running Windows XP SP 2 and i would like to practise Oracle 9i. So, Where i can download it for free ? I know i have checked there website but they don't mention the difference between each version. Oracle does't market their products as well as Microsoft.
Please , I am Student .. so i request you to make the discussion general .
Thank you for your time.

Hi all,
I'm about to download the VWD ASP.NET 2.0 with SQL Express 2005, but i currently have Visual studio.net 1.1 and SQL Server 2000 installed on my PC, XP Pro.
Has anyone had problems with this or are they happy to run along side one another without over writing projects already created in the older versions?
Thanks in advance.

Currently on my development machine i have SQL Express 2005 running.
On the production server, they have SQL 2000. So I need to get one of my databases from this server to the other one. From my understanding you can't export from 2005 to 2000 because of the drastic change.
What is the easiest way for me to do this?
create the tables manually and export the data in CSV and import it that way?
Cheers

Hello
Server Details:
OS => Windows Server 2003
SQL => SQL Server 2005
Client Machines:
OS => WinXP sp2
SQL => 2000, 2005 express
The developers at work connect remotely to the server. Some of them have the "client SQL 2005 express" and others are using "SQL 2000"
Over the next week I plan to upgrade all the developers to 2005 Standard.
I have performed an upgrade of '2005 express' to '2005 standard' and encountered no problems. However I have no experience upgrading the 2000 client.
Can anyone suggest a strategy (fresh install/upgrade)or highlight any pitfalls that I should avoid.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions offered.
Regards
Toby
