How can i connect to Sqlserver2000 from sqlserver2005

Hi,

Can any1 tell me how to connect to Sqlserver2000 from sqlserver2005 ...I cant see sqlserver2000 instance name when i try to search in database engine

With regards

mahender

I assume you're talking about using SSMS and you can't see your sql2k instance?

When you click "browse" button, the application send a broadcast onto the network on UDP 1434 to get a list of available sql instances from sqlbrowsers. If the sqlbrowser port is blocked or it's not running on the node where your sql2k instance resides, you would not get a reply back. This does not mean, however, that you cannot connect to your instance. If this is a default instance, you can just specify the servername explicitly and the application (ssms) should connect. If it is a named instance, you will need to specify the listening tcp port (e.g. servername,12345) to connect (this assumes your sqlbrowser is not running).

If you're talking about creating a connection between the two servers, you will want to look for "sp_addlinkedserver" in book online. There should be detailed info to walk you through.

How can i cluster sql 2005 for load balancing?

i have a table with 10,000,000,000 records and i need Select and Insert many
records from or into this table in less than one second.
i can't buy a very expensive hardware(Server) for this SQL Server 2005
but i can buy many medium price hardwares(Servers) for this SQL Server
2005.
how can i distribute or cluster this table between many hardwares(Servers)?
note: i have few users (maximum 5 users) for my database but i have a
very large table and Sql server 2005 server need to respond to this
users in less than 1 second.
i want to distribute this huge table in seperated hardwares. becuase i
can't buy a very expensive hardware from my server but i can buy many
medium price hardware for my server.
note: i need this: when a user run a select query on this huge table
his/her request distribute between many hardwares not one hardware.
Clusters are for high availability (HA) - not load balancing. You should
look at partitioned tables (SQL 2005) or partitioned views (SQL 2000). If
your queries always include the partitioning column in the WHERE clause, you
should be able to realize a performance benefit without necessarily going to
more servers. In the event that partitioned tables, or local partitioned
views, don't do it, then distributed partitioned views -0 where you do use
multiple servers - can be the solution.

If you have a disk I/O bottleneck, it could be that you're memory starved.
It could also be that your RAID array has very few spindles.
What numbers have you been getting from Perf Mon?

|||I think you are not considering the full ramifications of partitioning that
Tom has recommended, even on a single hardware installation.
It is not just a disk resource issue that partitioning attempts to resolve.
Unless you expect each of the 5 users to query the entire 10 Billion rows on
each pass, partitioning will limit the user to the specified data needed at
for any individual pass if the partitioning function is chosen correctly.
I suspect this table is large because the data is time sensitive, that is,
historical?
If so, if you had a dedicated table (or partition) for each month, week,
day, whatever the granularity is, and then one only needed data for that
particular date range, they would then only access a single table
(partition) instead of the entire data set.
If this data represents years of monthly, or daily, data, then each query
would only have to deal with a handful of tables, each only a few hundred
thousand or so records. Each query then becomes 10, 100, maybe even 1,000
or more times quicker.
Sincerely,
Anthony Thomas

How are extensions with no Filter handled?

I can't find the answer to this anywhere. I have a 16+ Gig table with
an image column that is full-text indexed based on the usual extension
column. Some of the extensions are not the standard ones with the
basic filters. For these extensions I do not want to be indexed with
the full-text search. How does SQL Server handle these...does it
ignore them or use the text filter? Could this slow down the
population of the index if it does not have a filter for that
extension? Any ideas of how to better manage this are greatly
appreciated. Thanks!

Tim,
For those file extensions that you do not want to FT Index, or are not FT
Indexed, you should see the following entry in the application event log for
those file types:
Event Type: SQLFTHNDLR
Event Source: Information
Event Category: None
Event ID: 2001
Date: 8/24/2005
Time: 4:05:35 PM
User: N/A
Computer: JTKWIN2003
Description:
One or more documents stored in image columns with extension 'doc' did not
get full-text indexed because loading the filter failed with error '0x1'.
Replace 'doc' for your file extension. You may also try setting the "file
extension" column value to NULL (if the column is nullable) or to ' '
(space) if it is not, and run a Full Population to compare against your
normal Full Population with this column populated to get some idea of the
performance difference.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for the tips! Cheers!

hotkey to uncomment

CTRL-SHIFT-C comments code, what do you use to uncomment?
I searched online help and googled and for the life of me cant remember
Hi g
If you are talking about the SQL 2000 Query Analyzer, you can go to the Edit
Menu, and choose Advanced (at the bottom). The Advanced Options include both
Comment and Remove Comments, and they will show you what the hot keys are.
Remove Comments (Uncomment) is CTRL-SHIFT-R

hot spots

I've read a little about drives having "hot spots" as a performance issue.
Hot would one go about detecting this? I can't think of a direct way to
monitor accesses to a certain physical area of the disk, are there
performance counters from which this condition might logically be inferred?
tia,

Interesting tool, thanks! Sadly, its lack of ability to query drives
connected via SCSI or RAID cuts it's usefulness to the bone, as nearly all
of the storage on production machines I see uses either or both of those
interface technologies.
