I'm in a mild-debate with some colleagues of mine.
Can someone shed some light on this for me.
(This is related to a problem we are having with empty recordsets being returned where we know there should be rows returned. I think it could be caused by incorrect/outdated MDAC components.)
We use SQL 7 sp2, and ado DSN'less connection strings.

Hi everyone;
I'm just getting started. I'm on Window 2000 pro with service pack 4 etc...
I installed "C#" and "Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition" -thats fine.
I then installed "Microsoft SQL Server" (SQLEXPR.EXE) it was good until it did a check:
Everything checked and passed fine except for the 2nd to last one:
- Minimum MDAC Version Requirement (Error)
Messages
* Minimum MDAC Version Requirement

So I was wondering where did I go wrong. I have lots of hard drive space too.
CPU is 1.80GHz - with 523,056 KB RAM
I did some research but there seems to be 100's of pages.
Is there any way to restore a database of higher version to lower version.
E.g. I have created a database in sql server 2012, created some tables & procedures in that.I took Full backup of that database. Can I restore it to sql 2008r2 or any lower version.
I know direct restore is not possible, I have to use either import or export option or generating script,but i want to know is there any easy step to do so.

Hi all,
Since some analysis services features are only available in Enterprise version , I have to upgrade my SQL 2005 server from standard edition to enterpise edition.
So I uninstall originial standard version of analysis service and install a Enterprise version. However, the analysis service is still a standard version after installation.
Is it possible to keep data engine as standard version and install a enterprise version of analysis service?
Thank you very much

Hello,I have been searching and reading a lots of information on the microsoft website about the different version of SQL server, but still can not make my decision.In term of performance, is there a real big difference between the workgroup and the standard version? The workgroup is limited to 3 GB of RAM while the standard is unlimited, would that really change the performance if my server has 16Gb or RAM?The price difference is pretty substantial so if could only have to buy the workgroup , it would be better.One more question, regarding the type of licence, my server has 2 processors, could I avoid buying 2 licences and get the Server plus CAL instead. I am using this server to host 4 web-application running on SQL server. Each database is about 15 MB.Thanks in adavance for your advises.Arno
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am wondering if it is possible to change from SQL Server Enterprise Evaluation Version to Developer Version. The reason is because the Enterprise Evaluation version expires after 180 days. So if I create reports and cubes in Enterprise Evaluation I can import them into Developer Edition right? Should I remove the Enterprise Evaluation version after 180 days or leave it then install Developer Edition?

I have an ssis package that downloads a SQL Server 2000 database and restores it to a SQL 2005 server. Ninety-five percent of the time it runs just fine, but every so often the job fails and I get the following set of error messages in the log file. (I have had to delete some of the proprietary information for this message to satisfy my boss like putting in [Database name] in place of the actual name of the database in the error message).

I have received the error message "Package migration from version 8 to version 6 failed".I have developed a SSIS package with Visual Studio 2013 which gives me PackageFormatVersion of 8. I then deploy my package to the ssisdb catalog that is running on a SQL Server 2012, this works fine but when I try to execute the package the error arises…due to SQL Server 2012 has a PackageFormatVersion of 6 and it can’t run something that has a greater version.I haven’t seen any good solution for this but one that would work for me would be to upgrade the Integration Services Server from 2012 to 2014, leaving everything else in 2012 (database, ssms, ssas, ssrs).Would this solve the package format problem? Would I then be able to execute my packages in the ssisdb catalog?
View 3 Replies View RelatedNow, I checked and verified that my backup version of SQL Server is the same as the version installed on the computer I'm restoring too.
I have SQL Server on a production machine that I backed up and want to test a full restore on a dev machine to make sure it will work when I need it to.
Now that I've run the restore command on my tape backup and go to restart the SQL server service I receive:
Configuration block version 0 is not a valid version number. SQL Server is exiting. Restore the master database or reinstall.
I'm afraid I don't understand why this is happening. If the builds are the same, then shouldn't restoring the MASTER database have worked normally and I'd be able to restart the service now?
Any thoughts or suggestions?

I have the trial version of SQL Server 2005 installed and have setup a couple of databases. This trial version will expire in another few weeks. I recently purchased a copy of the software and want to install it. Will I lose my databases, user info, etc? How do I go about installing without losing anything?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have a 64bit os machine that we accidently loaded the 32 bit version of sql server on. We now want to upgrade it to 64 bit sql server, but we now have a production database on it. My understanding is that all I have to do is detach the production database, upgrade to 64bit sql server, then reattach the database. Is this really all I have to do?

I started this thread as the last attempt to sort the issue out.
I have an SSIS package that loads data from a .csv file into my database. It works fine on my developer machine. I start it programmatically or from Management Studio or from Visual Studio, and it works. Then I deploy it to the MSDB database on the computer on which it will have its final place. There again I can start it from Management Studio or from Visual Studio (using the source file), and it works. But when I start it programmatically, it just fails telling me:
Package Warnings:
Package Errors:
The version of component "****" (11773) is not compatible with this version of the DataFlow.
Component "component "Derived Column" (13627)" could not be created and returned error code 0x80070005. Make sure that the component is registered correctly.
The component is missing, not registered, not upgradeable, or missing required interfaces. The contact information for this component is "Flat File Source;Microsoft Corporation;Microsoft SqlServer v9; (C) 2005 Microsoft Corporation; All Rights Reserved; http://www.microsoft.com/sql/support;1".
component "Agreement File" (11773) failed validation and returned error code 0xC0048021.
One or more component failed validation.
There were errors during task validation.
Maybe the source of the problem is that this machine is a 64-bit one, while the developer machine is 32-bit one. But why does the package run fine when I start it from Management Studio?
Any help would be appreciated.

Can some one here give me more insight about how to upgrade a SQL Server 2005 Standard Version (32 bits) to a SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Version (32 bits) as default instance on a Windows 2003 enterprise OS (32 bits). I want to know what is the easist way and what is the safest way. May I preserve some settings I have for the STD version, or I have to start from strach again to configure the server? Is there any catches, anything I should have attention to (We are using heavily about CLR and fulltext indexing)?
Thanks a milliom

We are in the process to upgrading from SQL 7.0 SP1 on a NT 4 EE sp6a active/passive cluster to a SQL 2K SP2 on the same NT 4 EE sp6a active/passive (single instance I think it is called now) cluster.
My question now is about MDAC.
Do I need to upgrade all my clients (W98 SE) that actually have MDAC 2.5 installed to the 2.6 version of the product?
Is there any MS articles that clearly explain this argument?
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards.

Ive got a question on MDAC and SQL 2000.
We have a SQL Server 7.0 running on NT 4.0 with MDAC 2.1 installed.
We also have a SQL Server 2000 running on Windows 2000 with MDAC 2.6 installed, as well as other instances of 7.0 and 2000.
I am trying to setup Push replication from the box with SQL 7.0 and MDAC 2.1 installed to a 2000 server with MDAC 2.6.
A SQL 7 to 2000 push works if an instance of 7 and 2000 are installed on the same machine. I can push to any remote machine, except for the one server with MDAC 2.1 installed.
Could MDAC be my problem?
Thanks,
Kyle
We have a large project that is importing msado21.tlb. We want to import least msado25.tlb to access the ADODB::_Stream object, but are unsure what exactly this entails. I've noticed no problems testing that change, but I cannot find any changelog for the MDAC upgrade. Is anyone aware of, or can point me to, a list of changes (fixes, modifications, caveats, etc) between MDAC 2.1 and MDAC 2.5? The binary msado file is always much newer, of course, but we want to link with the older type libraries to maintain maximum compatibility.
Any help is appreciated, I'm at a dead end!
Hello guys,

Hi folks. Got a real doozy going. One of the network techs reinstalled NT4 SP5 on a server. This reverted the SQL driver back to 2.something. Now sqlserveragent jobs will not run.
I have tried to instal MDAC 2.5, but it doesn't change the driver up to the new 3.xxx driver. I searched around on here and folks said that you have to move the MDAC executable to a new directory. for the new MDAC I don't see MDAC.EXE. I did find MDAC.COM and renamed that. Tried to rerun MDAC 2.5 but still got the old SQLSRV32.Dll.
Uninstalled SQLServer and reinstalled. still got the old SQLSRV32.Dll.
Tried to apply SQLServer SP1. It died.
Found that I am to shutdown some services. Did that. SP1 still dies.
Tried to apply SQLSERVER SP2. It tries to pick up where it died and it dies again.
SO, I'm currently uninstalling SQLServer, reboot, installing SQLServer, reboot, Trying SP2 again.
Didn't think that it was brain surgery just to install a new flippin version of the ODBC driver.. SHEEZ!!!!
MSSQL .7.0 SP2
WIN2KPRO
ATI 32mb video
1.3gh AMD
1g Ram
No other apps are affected....my once fast system is slowed to a crawl. 5+gb
free on C 37gb on E and NO apps loaded in systray. NO background processes,
nunca.
I installed MDAC 2.6 on a system to try to correct an OLE error when using
sp_OACreate that causes an ODBC connection broken and shuts down SQL every
other execution.
***** Now, the system is running slow, I tried reinstalling, moving the data
to a single local drive. (No other apps appear to be slowed)
Uninstalled MDAC 2.6 and reverted to 2.5 still slow.
Reinstalling MSSQL 7 and SP2, and MDAC 2.5 still slow...
As an example, when a simple xp_cmdShell 'dir c:mssql7data*data.mdf' the
resulting 10 lines are slowing typed accross the screen. On most systems
the text is refreshed so fast we only see a flicker.
Cleaning the registry still slow... Profiler shows DML and GHost lines that
appear to suck the life out my system, but its only pegged at 2%, like it's
doing something, but what(?)
Tonight I may have to reformat and reload, however I've seen this before and
would really like a clue.

Hello,
I installed the SQL Server 2k EnterPrise version and developer version on the same version, and the developer version is an instance "Development".
How do I expose both of them to internet? Just open both of them to port 1433? And on the client side, just say IP and IP/Development? Do I need specific set up, will they conflict?
Thanks,
