I have two SQL servers. One licensed for 2000 Standard Edition licensed under the processor model. The other is SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition licensed under the user cal model.
I want to switch these Editions and licensing models. My production server needs the Enterprise Edition and I want to put the processor licensing model with it. I want to put the Standard Edition on my reporting server with the user cal licensing model.
I have the instructions to upgraded Editions and it is straight forward. Can I use this procedure for both servers and not have issues?
Hi all, I would like to ask which edition and licensing type of SQL server 2005 should I use for the scenerio as described below. Please advice.
I have an ASP.Net application, whereby there will only be around 4 to 5 users accessing to the application. On the same database server, there is another VB.Net Windows application accessing to the database as well. Which kind of edition and licensing type should I use? I have tried MSDE and SQL 2005 Express edition. However, I always get timeout errors from time to time. Does it have something to do with the editions? Please advice. Thank you very much.
I'm getting some conflicting information , regarding sql 2005 Standard Edition licensing for multi instancing.
If you have multiple instances of SQL 2005 Standard Edition on one Server, do you need to pay a server license for every Instance or just the one Server license?

From reading the licensing considerations page [1], my understanding is that if my environment is 2 servers - an IIS Server and a separate SQL Server Std - I will need a 2nd license of SQL Server to run Reporting Services on my IIS Server? Is this correct? If so, would a license of SQL Server Express Edition w/Advanced Services satisfy the second license requirement, or would I need a license to match the database server?
Essentially, what is the recommended guidance for Reporting Services and Web Applications? It's a known best practice that, for performance, run SQL Server on a dedicated machine separate from IIS. Is it recommended that the database server also serve the reports?
I have a Sql Server Express Edition instaled in a Windows 2003 Server. I will use SQL Authentication. Need I Cal's for Windows 2003 server to each user that will access the SQL Express ? If yes, why ?
Hi Experts, Can you tell me the procedure how to install SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition with CAL licensing? This is very very urgent, Your help would be appreciated..
I have two question with respect to the developer edition licensing in SQL Server 2000 and 2005:
Question 1 I wanted to install a developer edition on a Development/Test Server. The server needs to be accessed by our development and Testing team of a team of 20 from their workstations. Is that possible?
Question 2 And if so what are the different licensing options that I can choose from considering that I don't want to install a developer edition of sql server on each workstation? The developer edition will be installed on the Dev/Test Server and the workstations will connect to the server using NT or Standard authentication.
I have one server hosting an ASP.NET application. It will be running 2005 Standard Edition.
I don't really understand which licensing model I need. Obviously processor licensing would work, but at a hefty price!
The web application and SQL Server are on the same machine, and no other machines will be querying the database. The only 'users' are the people who visit the website (both internal and external users).
Can someone help me properly determine the most cost efficient licening model to use?
I have a VERY Legitmate use to install sql 4 workgroups on a pc without licensing it. I am making a disk image for MANY pcs to be imaged and load licensing after the imaging is completed.
I have been able to do this with Windows XP Professional, MS Office 2003 and a couple non-Ms programs. The information for MS software even came from their KB, so I know what I am doing is legit. I just can't find any information on doing this for my sql app.
Hi All Server 2003 standard edition, MSsql 2005 standard edition As I understand it server 2003 standard only supports 4gb. Does this mean I can only use up to 4gb as the maximum memory for server 2005? If that is the case I would like to use the 3GB switch, and leave the other gig for other apps. If I set the 3GB switch in boot.ini do I then also have to enable AWE (which I can't seem to do) or can I forget about AWE altogether?
Hi,Is it possible to switch to another user's credentials after logging in? Iseem to remember that there is a stored procedure for this, but I can't finddetails anywhere. I want to temporarily suspend my login's admin privilegesand become an "ordinary" user, for testing purposes.Thanks,Peter
There are some concept about context switch block me .
---executor: dbo create user u1 without login
go
create table t
(
col int
)
go
create proc proc1
with execute as 'u1' as
insert into t values(1)
go
exec proc1
I think proc1 can't be run successfully beacuse the executor of proc1 is u1 and I didn't grant any permission to user u1. So it will return a error message like The INSERT permission was denied on the object 't', database 'tempdb', schema 'dbo'
To my surprise, the "exec p1" command could run successfully..
I am trying my first sliding partition scheme with 2005, and I am getting the following error...
ALTER TABLE SWITCH statement failed. Check constraints or partition function of source table "ScanStoreAggregateLoad' allows values that are not allowed by check constraints or partition function on target table "ScanStoreAggregateTest'.
I have gone over the functions and constraints a gazillion times. The columns are set to Not Null. The constraints are set to AND NOT NULL. The constraint values align and align with the function. But still I get the failure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here are the definitions:
CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION pfn_ScanStoreAggregate(int)
AS
RANGE LEFT FOR VALUES
(19224,
19225,
19226,
19227)
CREATE TABLE dbo.ScanStoreAggregateTest(
ProductID int NOT NULL,
DateKey int NOT NULL CONSTRAINT ck_ScanStoreAggregateRange CHECK ((DateKey BETWEEN 19224 AND 19227) AND (DateKey IS NOT NULL)),
hi out there On our Windows 2003 servers w. sp1 and running MS SQL Server 2000 w. sp4 we see from time to time that we get this error "cannot allocate 64k continous memory" or "SQL Server could not spawn process_loginread thread" which could be caused by nothing left in the "Memtoleave" pool - I have now search for advice on how to determine the values for the -g-switch - but without much success - and if I just go for the "try&error" concept my sql-server just allocates less and less ??? - ehh - in which units are the parameters for the -g option specified - bytes, kilobytes, mbytes - 4k block ???? Any suggestions for measuring the actual running value of this pool - memtoleave ??
So here's what I'm trying to do: I have three columns of data. Sometimes only one of the columns will contain a value while others may contain a null. If two or three contain a value it will be the same. So if I'm building a table in the layout designed and I want the value of the table to be the value stored in these columns. In pseudocode it looks like this:
Switch(column1 and column2 are null, value = column3, if column1 and column3 are null, value = column2, otherwise, value = column1)
Something like that where column1 is the default so if column 1 has a value then set the textbox value to it otherwise find a column that has it. I know that at least one column will definitely have a value. Anyone that can provide guidance on how to execute these I would appreciate it greatly.
Starting to play around with SQL server at work and this is my question:
In the query design mode in access I can make one of the fields an expression that is driven by a built-in switch function. i.e. Switch([CategoryName] Like "Beverage","Drink",[CategoryName] Like "Cheese","Dairy") This results in the additional column field I created to display "Drink" for each record that has the CategoryName = "Beverage", and "Dairy" for "Cheese".
Can I do something like this in SQL server in the view designer itself, or do I need to make a user defined function and call it?
Any One Tell me how i can use N'Switch in SQL Server Stored Procedure .

Hello everyone, thanks in advance for reading. I'm new to reports and have tried searching for my answer with no luck. Any direction would be great.
Here is the issue, I have 3 colums in the dataset which display String data ("High", "Medium", or "Low")
I've added a column to the table on the report where I would like to convert the value of "High", "Medium" and "Low" to 3,2,1 respectively then SUM these numbers.
Is this possible? I've tried several variations of the code below--maybe it's not possible to do what I want? Thanks again for your time and help.
Fields!PP.Value is set to: =Switch(Fields!Avail_Rank.Value = "High", 3, Fields!Avail_Rank.Value = "Medium", 2, Fields!Avail_Rank.Value = "Low", 1)
I need to switch two int values in my table, but I have no clue how to do it. If I switch the 6 to a 5, then I can't distinguish between the 5 that's supposed to be a 5 and the 5 that needs to be a 6. Any help is greatly appreciated - thanks in advance!
Basically I have 635k records in a table with a person's first name, and date of birth (other stuff but it's not relavent). I imported all the data from excel files, but somehow a bunch of records got the first name and date of birth mixed up, so I'm trying to write a stored procedure that would switch the first name with the date of birth wherever the firstname is purely numeric, or something of the sort. Now records are in fact repeated so another possible but more time taking solution is to write a stored procedure that I give the date of birth and it does the switching around for the respective date of birth when it's found inside the First name. Any suggestions? All the code I've written has proved useless :/
Is it possible to switch back to SQL 6.5 after upgrading to SQL 7.0 using the tape method? During the tape upgrade the 6.x devices are deleted. Is there no backout plan?
Dear all,i am planing to implement a Windows 2003 Cluster with MS SQl 2000Enterprise Edition. I have 2 Nodes (4 * XEON MP Processors) with 8 GBRAM per Node.I have the need for 6 SQL instances and would like to implement aactive-active cluster. What do you think it the best way to configurethe memory for the Servers ?I would like to run 3 instanced per Node but can i allocate 7 GB perNode for SQL (and 1 for the Operating System) ?What is happening then i one server fails ?Should i plan to allocate only 3 GB per Server for SQL to make surethat one server can handle the load for all instances if one serverfails ?Should i use the /AWE switch only in the boot.ini to allow more than 4GB Memory ?or should i use the /3 GB switch as well ?Maybe somebody can give me a hint.Best regards,Walter

We are running a DTS package with the dtsrun utility and would like topass a variable through it. Inside our package we have a VB scriptthat references a table that contains the information about all of ourjobs and we would like to pass a variable to tell it which jobs torun. The reason we cannot just add the variable to the VB script,i.e. in a where clause, is because we would like more then 1 bat fileto run this package. We want some jobs to run with 1 bat file andother jobs to run with another. If we could pass through a variableof 1 that would refer to a column within our table then only thosejobs would run at that time. Make sense?Any help is appreciatedThanks
I have a couple of reports with predefined queries. When I try to edit a data set query it goes directly to query design mode losing the query I already had. As you can see this is a real problem because I can't edit queries. How can I switch off design mode? any ideas are pretty much appreciated.
