  • RE: Best Practices for Reboot Schedule

    Why reboot SQL Server 2000 on a schedule? Well, I found a reason this week. Luckily I didn't get burned. I have a Win2K Advanced Server 2000 active/passive cluster, it's...

  • RE: Anyone ever get this error?

    The SQL Server may have been created and set to listen to a port other than 1433. Especially if you have virtual servers. We have two virtual servers on one...

  • RE: QOD Button on Home Page

    <SLAP ON THE FOREHEAD>. Thanks, I never even saw the Test Center link. My only excuse is that I've used this site so much I know where the links are...

  • RE: Best Practices for Reboot Schedule

    I have SQL Server 2000 on a MS Windows 2000 Advanced Server active/passive cluster. I rarely reboot my servers. They normally only get rebooted when I add software that requires...

  • RE: Using "Like" or Wildcard

    Here's the problem:

    WHERE (LEDef_ActiveInd = 1) OR(LEDef_ActiveInd = 1) AND (LEDef_Cd LIKE '10%')

    You are asking:

    Give me LEDef_ActiveInd = 1, OR give me (LEDef_ActiveInd = 1) AND (LEDef_Cd LIKE '10%').

    So, when...

  • RE: SQL Server Agent Fails to Startup

    I agree with psclvn, it looks like you have SQLSERVERAGENT service set to run under the SA account. I suggest checking that and MSSQLSERVER service account. If either or both...

  • RE: Data Conversions

    Does the time represent hours? ie: 05:00:00 = 5 hours

    Will there be minutes and seconds?

    I would add the varchar data as it is:

    05:00:00 plus 36:00:00 equals 41:00:00

    then divide it by...

  • RE: Not allowing Restore of Sql Server7 Database

    Shas3 is correct. Consider that as far as SQL Server is concerned - SA is GOD. GOD can do anything, you can not stop GOD. But you CAN stop other...

  • RE: Decimal Format

    How did you 'define' your decimal field? The proper syntax is:

    DECIMAL(p,s)

    p=precision - the number of digits total

    s=scale - number of digits to the right of the decimal.

    So, to be able...

  • RE: backup to non-default location

    What command(s) are you using to backup the database? Maybe there's a typo or error in it.

  • RE: Restoring a database

    The answer depends on what you are actually backing up...

    .mdf and .ldf files:

    Use the sp_attach_single_db_file command to attach the .mdf

    actual backup files created by BACKUP DATABASE command.

    Use RESTORE DATABASE command...

  • RE: Use another port instead of 1433

    Yes, COX is acting as a CALLER ID and is not allowing you access.

    If the business that owns the SQL Server requires you to be able to access it from...

  • RE: Use another port instead of 1433

    By the way, it appears you may be mis-understanding how ports work. Let me provide an analogy (if you do understand ports, please forgive me).

    I (server) have a phone number...

  • RE: Use another port instead of 1433

    The port change has to be made on the SQL Server itself not on the client side. Then the clients have to set up the ODBC connection to that port....
