  • RE: check list for Migrating sql server 2000 to 2005

    I haven't done migration to 2008 yet. However, from what I understand, the engine hasn't changed very much and 2008 supposedly allows a direct upgrade from 2000.

    Look into Microsoft's SQL...

  • RE: XML Upload loading the data as NULLS

    I run into the same problem with SSIS when I have a schema definition mismatch. I'd advise checking that first. Make sure to check not only structure but (if applicable)...

  • RE: XML value contains predifined XML character "<" and "="

    Thanks for posting your solution. That's a nice document.

    So are you going to force the actual xml file to include the those entity references instead of the &lt and =...

  • RE: Creating XML from SQL Server 2005 - What are my options?

    I'm assuming "flat" means that the XML is all on one line with no pretty carriage returns between each data element. Sort of like:

    &ltcolumn1&gt2adfad&lt/column1&gt&ltcolumn2&gtadfeoue&lt/column2&gt&ltcolumn3&gtetouen&lt/column3&gt

    If that's not what the OP means...

  • RE: check list for Migrating sql server 2000 to 2005

    Have you tried right-click to see if a menu with a script option pops up?

    SSIS in 2005 supposedly allows for the migration of jobs, logins and maintenance stuff, but I've...

  • RE: Disaster Recovery Rollback

    I have to agree with Ian here. Replication is not meant as a disaster recovery tool. It's meant to keep data synchronized between separate offices such as bookstores or airlines.

  • RE: Disaster Recovery Rollback

    BTW, have you looked into Data Mirroring? That might stand you in better stead.

    What about passive / active clustering with RAID 5 or RAID 10? That is probably the easiest...

  • RE: Disaster Recovery Rollback

    Regarding #1, Server A becomes the backup once it becomes available again. Don't try to transfer. It's too much work. Just re-snapshot the database(s) in question and restart Replication using...

  • RE: check list for Migrating sql server 2000 to 2005

    A few things to remember:

    Make a checklist. -- We can't give you a specific one because it depends on how your server is setup. The checklist should include EVERYTHING...

  • RE: Best Practice: How often to reboot SQL server?

    Ditto, ditto, ditto. Reboots are EVIL (unless your server is totally screwed already or you're doing a software update that requires it).

    Ask your hosted team why they've implemented that policy....

  • RE: SAN vs directly attached storage

    Ah, yes. The great SAN debate.

    SANs can be wonderful things. We use them in our environment because we have clustered servers. However, the IO issue is well known and...

    I'm pretty sure you can change the default namespace, but you'd have to play with it to be positive.

  • RE: Generate XML Root in SQL 2000

    I don't think so. I'm pretty sure the FOR XML..., ROOT command is brand new with SQL 2005.

    Sorry.
