  • RE: Integer vs nchar(6) primary keys

    Remember that any datatype starting with the letter "n" is a Unicode-compatible datatype and requires extra overhead for processing. Because Unicode characters have so much more space in them...

  • RE: Oh no someone has snookered our transition plan!

    And remember, you don't have to install Reporting Services for SQL Server to function.

    SSRS is a separate install that you are required to choose (or not) during the...

  • RE: Restore a 2005 db to a 2000 server

    No, I haven't. I've never needed to revert. But even though that wizard is out there, I'm sure it can't revert everything.

    There are a lot of...

  • RE: Restore a 2005 db to a 2000 server

    Yeah, unfortunately you can't move a 2005 database to 2000 without a lot of work. Even then, something will probably fail.

  • RE: Connection Manager Error moving data from SQL Server 2000?

    But in your previous post, you said you're writing "TO" SQL Server 2000. And that is what seems to be the problem to me. Check your destination source...

  • RE: Identify a checklist for database relocation

    MP,

    You should be aware of everything.

    Are your Servers names actually changing? What about share folder names? Instance names? DNS names / pointers? Permissions?

    If you're going to...

  • RE: How much time every day?

    The first 15-30 minutes of my day are checking the jobs, making sure all of them ran correctly. This determines how the rest of my day goes.

    If jobs failed...

  • RE: Database Security

    You really should look at Books Online, topics: Fixed Database Roles and Fixed Server Roles. This will give you a listing of all available permissions that are already set...

  • RE: how do you secure SQL against everyone?

    I don't know. I think the best way to secure the Server against everyone is to unplug the darn thing and lock it in a closet.

    Of course...

  • RE: Connection Manager Error moving data from SQL Server 2000?

    I'm a little confused. Why are you upgrading DTS to SSIS if you're still using SQL Server 2000 and not upgrading your database to 2005? If you're not...

    I disagree. Certification helped me get my current job.

    Of course, my college degree had nothing to do with computers. Neither did my paid work experience, so...

  • RE: Connection Manager Error moving data from SQL Server 2000?

    What tool are you using? The DTS Import / Export Wizard or SSIS? From which Server are you initiating the move, 2000 or 2005?

  • RE: System Stored Procedure Question

    Jason,

    I'm so glad you figured it out. I was at a loss myself.

    Was this particular DB an upgraded one or a fresh install? If upgraded, probably...
