  • RE: SQL 2000 - End of Support List

    It ended a long time ago. Only way you can get SQL 2000 support is if you're a premier customer and have purchased extended support.

  • RE: Need help in getting data very fast .. how?

    Nice easy question, nice clean answer.

  • RE: Dump Tran for all DBs

    Why are you truncating the transaction logs? Do you know what that's going to do to your log chain and your ability to restore to point-in-time?

    It looks like following the installation of Sql 2005 64bit the new system database area was renamed to "old" and the 32bit folder was kept.
