Am very new to MS SQL adminstration Can anybody help me out how to work on Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000) Release A just for the practice.
The activity which am going to workout on MSDE is below.
How to install SQL(on XP) How the layout will be(like if i insall MSDE what are all Application will be and how they depends on each other) How to create/delete tables if so, how can we do it either by GUI or CUI
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.
Hi everyone,In using the SQL Server Database Wizard in Access 2000 to create a newaccess project, I get two consecutive error messages and then the wizardshuts down. The first, which apprears immediately after starting the wizardis a message box stating something like "the property value is too large".After clicking through and filling out the values in the connection anddatabase dialog, I get a second dialog box with the message "Overflow" andthe wizard terminates.My operating system is Windows 2000 Professional with Access 2000 and MSDE2000.Does anyone have any thoughts about what might be causing these errors?Thanks in advance.
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?
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 want to view the sample databases within Access 2003. When I try to view them an error message appears saying I need MSDE 2000 but this will not run on Windows Vista which is my operating system. What do I need to view the sample database as well as develop applications within Access using SQL server?
Hi All,I had two Window NT 4.0 Server, say A and B... We recently upgradedfrom MS SQL Server 6.5 to MS SQL Server 2000 on Computer A, and forComputer B, I installed SQL Server 2000 from scratch. These two have asame RAM(512MB) and CPU speed...so the setup for hardware is almostidentical...For server A, there are around 10 connection to this SQL Server...For server B, there are also around 10 connection to this SQLServer...The database for SQL Server B is a copy from SQL Server A.... Irestored the database on SQL Server B from the backup dump of ServerA...We have a store procedure called usp_GetMemo(ID Interger) ... we feedID number to this store procedure and return its return Description...this table has ID column and it's Non-Cluster index, allow theduplicate row... there are 1.7 million records for this table...Here is problem... whenever i execute more than 100 times for thisstore procedure(usp_GetMemo(ID)) continuously, the CPU usage ofComputer A is 3 times bigger than computer B....I did run the command "DBCC DBReindex" , "Update Statistics" for thistable on computer A, but did not make any difference...Keep in mind that Computer A has been upgraded to SQL server 2000while Computer B installed from scratch... would that make differencesomehow?? Before the upgrading, the CPU usage of computer A is thesame as Computer B...Any help will be really appreciated,Thanks alot,Kim,
I am developing a proposal to my company, which is a microsoft select client, for introducing SQL 2005 to a new BI project. The company already has SQL 2000. I would like to have a full tabular format of SQL 2005 SSIS Features comparison to SQL server 2000 DTS.
Most of feature enhancement paper has only tell what is new but not tell about what is already existed and how much it is improved (in quality and quantity). Yes, tabular format is more useful.
I tried to search through microsoft.com, technet but still cannot find the relavent one. Would you please give me a web link ?
Please suggest. I am not impersonated myself like a competitor. You can verify my id by sending e-mail to chaivat.jirapummin@th.standardchartered.com
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,Simple question: A customer has an application using Access 2000frontend and SQL Server 2000 backend. Data connection is over ODBC.There are almost 250 concurrent users and is growing. Have theysqueezed everything out of Access? Should the move to a VB.Net frontendtaken place ages ago?CheersMike
I've created a small company database where the tables reside in a SQLServer database. I'm using Access 2000 forms for a front end.I've got a System DSN set-up to SQL Server and am using links withinAccess 2000 to get to the SQL Server tables.My forms worked fine until I made a few minor changes to the databaseschema on SQL Server (e.g. added a foreign key, or added a column).After that, all the links break - I click on a table link and get anerror msg like "invalid object name."Deleting the links after a schema change and re-adding the links seemedto fix the problem. The forms I'd already created seemed to work fineafter re-creating the links.But then I got more advanced with my forms. I have it set up so thatfor certain entry fields, the combobox gets populated with values froma table (the description appears in the drop-down and the correspondingprimary key value gets populated in the table). I created a number offorms using this technique, entered data, and everything worked fine.Made a small schema change and it broke everything -- not the actualtable links, but the functionality for the drop-downs. My values nolonger appeared, and this was true for forms that accessed tables whoseschemas did not change.This is driving me nuts. Is there any way to keep my forms frombreaking each time I make a small schema change?Thanks.- Dana
Hi, I worked on a project in ASP.NET using SQL server 2000 as the back end. Its a conversion application that I rewrote in ASP.NET using C#. I need to import the old data in Access db into SQL server 2000 and I have very little knowledge about doing it. The data in not a direct one -one transformation. There are considerable changes to the Database design and data types. Any help and suggestions wud be really helpful. Also, any article links wud be great.
We have a SQL Server 7.0 system in NT 4.0 environment. We upgraded our users to Access 2000 and started to work with this. Now we installed a new server which is Windows 2000 based and the domain is different from the SQL servers domain. We then installed Access 2000 on Windows 2000 to use with terminal server. But I noticed that there was a problem with the program. I then looked at the program which was written on Access 2000 and saw that the tables and views can't be seen. The program runs but I can't see the views and tables. Another thing is access disconects from SQL Server when I want to see the tables. So what can be the problem.
In one part there is an Access 2000 on Windows 2000 server. On the other part SQL Server 7.0 on Windows NT 4.0. And Access can't see the tables in SQL server.
Venkatesh writes "In MS-Access table a coulmn is specified as Auto number property. I want to migrate this table into SQL Server.
We can create a new column that has identity property in SQL Server 2000, which simulate autonumber property of MS-Access.
My access table contains 700 records and I need to set the column (ListID) as Auto number. i.e., I m going to modify this coulmn with identity property.
But I cant set the identity property for the existing column.
Can u pls send me the sql query that modify the existing column(ListId) with Identity property.
Our development team is doing some stuff in ASP. They are interested only in char and varchar data types. They clearly told us that they are not going with text and image data types.
Is it possible to make a row size behind 8060 bytes in a table without text and image data types?.
I am converting a MS Access 2000 project to use SQL Server. This project has uncovered a number of problems, my latest seems to be very odd.
When I query using ADO against the SQL Server database, the results don't seemed to be returned immediately. It's like the access methods being used are waiting too long to write/read the data.
This could be a simple ADO configuration error, but I cannot find any settings that would make this behave so strange.
I'm using OLE/DB drivers with trusted security and attaching using client-side recordsets (I tried server-side as well, same results) to get data for the Access form. In many instances, the data from the form is not yet retrieved when I check the results using the debugger. If I execute the same section of code just seconds later, it works without fail.
I ran the SQL Server Profiler just for grins and found that records were not getting written to the database as I would have expected. Apparently ADO had generated a transaction and rolled it back. (why I don't know) I have looked in Microsoft's support database and on MSDN to no avail. Rather then rewriting my T-SQL as stored procedures for these functions, I'm hoping for some insights from anyone else who has been down this nasty road.
Here is the exact scenario:
Problem #1: A form that accepts data and has an update button does not update the recordset being used to populate the form. I even coded a rst.Update statement into the code. The record within the recordset isn't updated until the DoCmd.GotoRecord , , acNewRec call has been made. I suppose I could code the insert statement myself, but shouldn't Access be updating the database for me. (it does have r/w access)
Problem #2: A subform that performs a query and allows records to be added to a table does not correctly detect data returned from the query. A check is made in the code for a field (which has a value of 0) but the code detects a null value. If I step through this code in the debugger, enough time passes that the value is present and I never see the problem. If I set a breakpoint at the error, the null condition is indicated, even though the debugger shows a value of 0 for the field.
SQL Server version is 2000, with SP3a applied.
I updated the MDAC to 2.8, JET to 8.0 and still the same problem. I cannot find anything in my ADO or Access books for a setting that would cause this behavior. My connection is using the following info:
Set Conn = New ADODB.Connection Conn.CursorLocation = adUseClient Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset Connection string: Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=myserver;Initial Catalog=mydb;Trusted_Connection=Yes;Integrated Security=SSPI; Recordset Cursor type: adOpenDynamic Recordset LockType: adLockOptimistic
I open the recordset using: rst.Open mytable, Conn, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic, adCmdTableDirect
Problem # 1
After manipulating the data in the form, I press a "save" button on the form. This button calls a number of subroutines, eventually executing the code below:
Problem # 2 I set the recordsource using: (in the form_open) Me.RecordSource = "Select * from mytable where myfield = 'data'"
In the form_unload, the problems occur. It tests for a value stored in the form from the query. This value is null at the time of the code execution, it has a value when inspected within the debugger however.
Maybe I'm missing something here, this project was originally coded using DAO. My conversion to ADO is 95% complete. (all of these two components are converted to ADO) This problem is causing me to miss out on sleep and look like a rookie.
Has anyone seen or heard of something such as this? Is there any hope for this snarled mess of 25K lines of code?
Hi,I have developed an application using VB 6 (SP 5), MS Access 2000 andCrystal Reports 9. I migrated from from access to SQl Server 2000.This wasn't a problem as i could import all the tables to SQL Server.Also, i could make VB6 talk to SQl Server.The problem arsies when i run my application. The sql syntax foraccess seems to be different than that for SQL Server. A simpleexample being: In access boolean datatype is true/false ,whereas inSQL Server the boolean equivalent is bit (numerical 1 or 0). Thesekind of issues are causing problems and most queries don't run.Would i need to go and change all the queries in accordance with SQlServer syntax ,which would be very time consuming or is there anyfunction which will convert the access datatype into its equivalentSQl Server datatype??Any input/thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.ThanksJatin
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.
We are experiencing a problem with Sql Server 2000 linking to anAccess 97 file. We have two machines that link to this .mdb file, andwe recently upgraded one to newer hardware, SP3a, MDAC 2.8, etc. Thelink on this upgraded machine no longer works, giving this message:Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error.[OLE/DB provider returned message: Cannot open a database created witha previous version of your application.]OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ].The link on the older machine still works. We decided to tryconverting a copy of the file to Access 2000 to see if the newerpatches/drivers/whatever no longer supported 97. We set up a link onboth machines to this file, and they both work. However, on theupgraded machine, the following error is receievedServer: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error.[OLE/DB provider returned message: System resource exceeded.]OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'ICommandText::Execute returned 0x80004005: ].when making 1-3 connections to the the linked server, while the oldermachine supports at least 7 simultaneous queries connecting to thelinked server and still hasn't produced that error.Does anyone have any idea if there is a known issue with linking toAccess 97/2000 files under MDAC 2.8, Jet 4.0, etc? Any light anyonecan shine on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
Hi all,I just got SQL Server 2000, but I already have MSDE installed. Is there anyreason I would want to keep MSDE around on my computer if I install SQLServer 2000? I use MS Visual Studio 2002 on Windows XP SP2, in case itmakes any difference. I intend to deinstall MSDE before installing SQLServer 2000, but I get the impression from a few posts that some people haveboth installed and I'm not sure why that would be done. What functionalityis in MSDE that is not in SQL Server 2000?Thanks for answering.--Diana
I have a client that is moving their web ap (which has already been developed) from one host to their own servers. The problem is that they don't have MS SQL Server 2000, but they have MSDE. All the code is already writen to work with SQL SERVER 2000.
I have a couple of questions:
1. Can I safely assume that all this code will work with MSDE and all I have to change is the connection string? For example:
SqlConnection myConn = new SqlConnection(connstring);
In other words, can I still use the SqlClient classes to work with MSDE, or will I have to modify the code?
2. Will it be a problem creating the tables and migrating the data from SQL SERVER to MSDE? Can I use Enterprise Manager to do this?
3. I never had to remotely (or even locally) connect to a MSDE database alone, I always develop with a SQL Server db. Can I use a similar connection string for the MSDE database? Do I have to create a data provider on the local machine? Can you give me an example of a MSDE connection string?
I have MSDE installed on a production machine together with a bunch of ASP.NET applications. I was asked to replace MSDE with SQL Server 2000 and move every application from MSDE to SQL Server 2000 with minimum downtime.
Did any of you go through a similar process?
What is the best way of doing this conversion?
How to move the backups from MSDE to SQL Server?
Is it possible to have MSDE and SQL Server 2000 coexists for a time while moving stuff around and redirecting every connection?
Any hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, I am developing an web-database application using ASP.net,c# and MSDE. and after the completion of the project i want to deploy the database over the server whichs got sql server professional edition. Are there any changes to be made while deploying it over the server and also will the connection string for MSDE and SQL client the same ? Please do clear me the confusions i have got .. thanks inadvance
Hi, I am a VB programmer and we have a VB application that uses Access as its db (~500MB mdb file) using DAO. We want to upgrade to MSDE/Sql Server because we have clients that will use around 5 connections to the db and others with no more then 20 users. I was asked to build a simple test program in Vb under MSDE that will enable us to test few clients working simultaneously (I have few days for that). There is so much material on MSDE and we just ordered an MSDE Developer guide book from the Amazon that will arrive in a few days. The amount of material is confusing like hell and I didn't work with ADO before, I don't even know if to work with Access 2000 or with a different db, can you advice ? Do you know of a good sample that show a beginner like me how to access MSDE from VB using ADO? If you do please please advice it will ease the pressure and the days are numbered. Thanks a lot.
I developed an app which stored data in SQL 2005, and encrypted some data using EncryptByPassPhrase( PassPhrase, TheData ), DecryptByPassPhrase( PassPhrase, TheData).
One of the implementations of this will have to store the data in SQL 2000, which doesn't support this functionality. Is there a simple data encryption functionality somewhere that I can implement within a stored proc so I can have my app be independent of the back-end data base server?, i.e. so I can have two different stored procedures depending on the back end db, and not to have the front end handle the encryption?
