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.
I need to live update my SQL-Server 2000 database from AS400 database. I usually use Access 2002 database between the AS400 database and the SQL-Server 2000 database to reflect any live update. I use the (Link Tables...) option when creating a new table in access and link it with the ODBC to connect with the AS400 database. After that I work with the Access link table.
Is there any tool in SQL-Server 2000 to show the live transactions in AS400 databasee so I can work on it?
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. )
I know my problem is not directly associated w/ SSIS, so please forgive the post here. I figured this would be the "most" appropriate place to post this challenge.
We're attempting to edit a 2000 DTS package in Design mode from within the 2005 SQL Management Studio. To do this we downloaded/installed the following packages from the MS download site:
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer Components Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility Components
We're able to open the package in design mode from the Management Studio (Server > Management > Legacy > Data Transformation Services > DTS Package Name). But, when the DTS designer is open, the backspace and arrow keys won't respond in the Management Studio. They begin responding when we close the DTS designer. There are no error messages when we close the DTS designer.
Does anyone know of a fix or a workaround? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
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?
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?
We 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.
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'm very new to SQL Server having previously worked with Oracle 10g for the last couple of years.
Anyway, in Oracle there is a view called V$SQL that provides information about SQL that is or has recently been executed. I'm trying to find a similar sort of functionality in SQL Server.
Basically, what I'd like to do is list all of the SQL statements that are running at a given moment. Or even better would be a way of listing all statements that have run in the last 10 minutes.
I just installed SQL Server on my 2003 box. Up till now I've been using MS Access for all my database needs. When I wanted to work on fields in a table, all I had to do was open Access and there you go. How do I view and modify Fields in SQL?
Is it possible to view the transaction log to identify events run against a database. I know that I could create a trace file to log events. But what I really want to know is whether there is any way to actually view the live .ldf transaction log file and make sense of it.
It is possible to do something similar in Informix.
How can I view the transaction log for a particular database. We are trying to track down when a delete occurred and wanted to look there to find it, unless there is a better place to look.
Holy MOLY I've been banging my head up against the wall on this matter for months now. I have two databases and I need to be able to see the tables from different different databases. Usually I create a view like this
LicensingActions.dbo.License_Suspensions
But it wasnt working kept telling me that the License_Suspensions table didnt exsist and at the time the name was in all caps. So I decided to change the name, and low and BEHOLD IT WORKS. The funny was that I wasnt having that problem any of the other tables just that one. Well live and learn. Just thought I'd share that with you guys
I just got some great code from this site for viewing constraints, but I can't find the equivalent for indexes (and I couldn't modify the constraint sql), any suggestions?
why can't i see SQL server 2005 the same way i see Visual Basic 2005 Express edition. i'm able to see VB by going under the all Programs menu and select it, when i try to find SQL 2005, i see configuration tools and some submenu of configuration tools. is that the way it is? if not, how do i get SQL 2005 to open up like VB so i can play with it. Also, at home i do not have a server, do i have to have a home server to play with SQL
I am trying to view a "View" that is in one of my databases, and I am having a problem seeing the scripting that is inside of it. In sql2000 all I needed to do to view a "View" is double click on it. If I double click on a "View" in sql2005 it will open more folders showing the layout, but I want to see the scripting. If I right click on it and then click open view, sql2005 returns the values that the view would bring across. Does anybody know how to view the scripting of a "View" for sql2005?
Also if I select Modify, sql2005 returns scripting but it does not look right.
I would like to know the best way to view Package Logs that are being stored in SQL Server? Right now I select out of sysdtslog90 to see what the log file has. I would like to know if there is a way like SQL 2000 where there is a drop down for the date and you could view the entire package data.
I have a linked table in Access to my SQL 7 database. But one field who's values are either 0 or 1 now show up as 0 or -1 when I view the linked table in Access?
I would like to be able to get a listing of the object permissions for a particular group in a database. I can't find a procedure for doing this. I know I must be overlooking an obvious solution. Does anyone have any suggestions for doing this? Thanks.
I'm on a Dev database (full copy). In EM (that is running on the Dev server) I run a view that I used to build the list of rows to be updated.
SQL 2000 Std SP3 on Win 2000 Server.
When I cut-n-Pasted the clause to my "Update" statement in Query Analyser and try to run it, to my surprised, it got hung up.
I looked in EM to see Locks, and to my surprise my EM View Display is blocking the Update! So; I press "Cancel" on my EM View display and, whammo, the update goes.
I tested and it's consistant and does not matter what column I'm updating.
Is this normal behaviour for EM?
EDIT: I tried the exact same scenerio, in the exact same EM and QA screens, but this time remoting over to the Production box (since it's midnight). The blocking did not occur. Weird!
How to view the errors occured during the job execution (than viewing the Job history).Is there any files available to refer the errors?. Thanks in advance.
Hi,I am trying to debug some queries that are being generated by anexternal program, and I have no way of finding out what the actualsyntax of the query is from within the program itself. This means thatwhen the query fails I am left with only a very unhelpful message.So what I was wondering, was whether there is a way that I can view theactual queries that are sent to SQL server as they happen, or if areal-time solution doesn't exist, then some way I can look back afterthe event and see the syntax of the queries?Ideally, what I would like to do is see the queries in the form theywere sent to the server, ie "SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar='foobar'", asthis would help me to figure out where the generated queries are goingwrong.Cheers,--Dylan Parryhttp://electricfreedom.org | http://webpageworkshop.co.ukThe opinions stated above are not necessarily representative ofthose of my cats.

i have a copy of a SQL Server 2000 database on an external hardrive.I have SQL Enterprise Manager 2005 on my laptop and was wondering ifit is possible to view the backup on my laptop when external harddrive is plugged in.What other software/tools/procedures do i need to do to make thebackup "viewable"RegardsSteve F
