If you require SQL Server 2000 for existing solutions, you can still acquire additional licenses by taking advantage of the SQL Server 2005 "downgrade rights." The downgrade rights enable you to purchase server plus device CALs, server plus user CALs, or processor licenses for SQL Server 2005 and install and use the previous version for a reasonable period of time.

No. SQL Server 2000 can either be run on the same device as the MOM server, in which case the MOM server license is sufficient. Should the customer run the SQL server database on a separate physical machine, it will require only an OML for managing the server SQL Server 2000 is installed on. In addition to the MOM licenses mentioned above, SQL Server 2000 needs to be licensed. This can be done either standalone or through the MOM 2005 with SQL Server 2000 Technology license.

Based on customer feedback received, we decided that at release, System Center Reporting Manager 2006 will support only SQL Server 2005 to allow customers to take advantage on the newest and richest database technology.

Double click on the downloaded EXE file. You should be prompted to browse to the location of the database instance (Default location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$CAREWARE). Once you have chosen the location the installer should automatically upgrade the service pack for SQL Server 2000. If the installer does not automatically upgrade the service pack or generates an error during the installation process, then you will need to do the following in order to complete the upgrade.

We provide a MS SQL login and password for your SQL database. Connect to the online SQL server using the Enterprise manager or our online SQL Manager to create tables. Install MS SQL 2000 on your local Windows NT machine and register the online SQL Server by.... And then this server would appear on your enterprise manager...Right click and CONNECT and then create your SQL tables.

Yes, this is an optional extra, for costs see the order form. Ideally you will manage your SQL Server DB using Enterprise Manager or Visual Studio.NET (or similar), however, we do offer a web based front end using ASP.NET Enterprise Manager.

Yes, you can install multiple instances of both server versions on the same machine. At least one of them has to be installed as a named instance. For a default instance, the default port is 1433. For a named instance, it is dynamic but you could configure it as fixed port. Applications querying a SQL Server by IP number will be directed to the default instance. Applications should always query the SQL server to get the dynamic port of a named instance, and then connect to that instance.

Yes. First back up your SQL 2000 database, and then move it to the SQL 2005 server you want to use. Restore your database, and then run the Orion Configuration wizard on the Orion server and specify the new SQL Server instance. For more information, see the Orion NPM Migration Technical Reference.

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000) is the free, redistributable version of SQL Server (and it is shipped with Timetabler 6). MSDE contains a workload governor designed to limit performance if the database engine receives more work than is typical of a small number of users. Installation of MSDE or SQLServer depends on your anticipated use of Timetabler.

Create a SQL Server Integration Services project via SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio On the Control Flow tab, drag a Transfer SQL Server Objects and set the source connection, destination connection, SourceDatabase and DestinationDatabase; if the DestinationDatabase does not exist, manually create an empty database in Enterprise Manager Execute the task with the following options DropObjectsFirst: True IncludeExtendedProperties: True CopyData: True ExistingData: Replace CopyS.

You can upgrade most installations using the SQL Server 2005 setup program. All report server content and settings will be fully functional after the upgrade process. In cases where you have customized your report server deployment (added extensions, changed virtual directory settings, or encrypted the ASP.NET account user name in the registry), you will need to migrate your Reporting Services installation.

Yes, you will be provided an address, login and password credentials to use for accessing your SQL Server 2000 database.

For monitoring MS SQL 2000 Server, you have to specify the Host Name or IP Address of the machine in which MS SQL Server is running. What is shown in Enterprise Manager is [servername]\[instancename]. Here servername refers to the machine in which the MS SQL 2000 Server is running and instancename refers the name of the MS SQL 2000 Server. Hence while adding the MS SQL 2000 server, you have to specify only the servername part in the Hostname / IP Address field and not the instancename.

Yes. SQL Server may be run on the same server on which MIIS 2003 is running. However, due to performance reasons, it is recommended to run SQL server on the same machine. For more information on configuring the MIIS and SQL servers for best performance see the MIIS 2003 Capacity Planning Guide.

SQL Server is Microsoft's flagship database system for enterprises. While it is extremely fast and reliable, it may be costly for small companies. Find out more at the SQL Server product page.

Server SQL modes define what SQL syntax MySQL should support and what kind of data validation checks it should perform. This makes it easier to use MySQL in different environments and to use MySQL together with other database servers. The MySQL Server apply these modes individually to different clients. For more information, see Section 5.2.6, "SQL Modes".

You can set the default SQL mode (for mysqld startup) with the --sql-mode option. Using the statement SET [SESSION|GLOBAL] sql_mode='modes', you can change the settings from within a connection, either locally to the connection, or to take effect globally. You can retrieve the current mode by issuing a SELECT @@sql_mode statement.

Simply call us at 305-274-8393. There is no charge to upgrade your server type; however, there is a charge of $50 to downgrade your server type.

No, you cannot do that. Target servers must be at least the version of the master server. Otherwise the master could try to do something that is unsupported on lower level targets. You will have to enable remote connections and [optionally] start the SQL Server Browser service. If there is a firewall between your client and the SQL server, you will also have to open the appropriate ports on the firewall.

No. The Computer Playbook 2006 installation installs a free version of SQL Server 2000 called SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine. This is a scaled down version of SQL Server 2000 that is freely distributable. Remember, the Computer Playbook database only needs to be installed on one computer on your network. It may or may not be installed on the local machine. To verify the database server is running on the local machine, click here.

How can I query an Excel spreadsheet as if it were a database? <cfquery datasource="XLS" name="test"> SELECT * FROM 'INFO$' </cfquery> <cfoutput query="test"> #test.Name# </cfoutput>

Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 comes with the Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000), which is installed by default and is used to track jobs. Due to licensing restrictions, customers cannot install the full version of SQL Server on compute nodes running Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003. Customers wishing to install full versions of SQL Server should purchase Windows Server 2003 x64 Standard, Enterprise, or Datacenter Edition.
