  • RE: DSN settings for ODBC connection to SQL 7 Server

    Your post doesn't make much sense.

    Your system DSN specifies the type of authentication (NT Auth or SQL Auth). If you are using NT Auth, then the authentication will actually occur...

  • RE: Install Problems

    I haven't seen this with SQL. I've installed dozens of workstations and servers, all W2K, no issues. This is usually one of the cleanest installs I have seen.

    I would dbl...

  • RE: Auto restart SQL Server Agent

    I assume you have the default W2K settings? Verify this. Be sure no one has changed items on the server.

    Also, is SQL running as a local admin? This might be...

  • RE: Estimating space usage

    You can get the sizes for most datatypes, etc. from BOL or use INSIDE SQL Server by Kalen Delaney. It's a great reference.

    The hardest part will be estimating growth. Get...

  • RE: sql 6.5 migration

    v6.5 will run on W2K, but there are issues with getting it setup. I would be careful. Better yet, upgrade to 2000 and run in v6.5 compatibility mode.

    I've done this...

  • RE: Memory

    Answer: (hate to say it) It depends. I have a SQL Server with 512 that hums. Depends on the load. If you are getting lots of paging and the site...

  • RE: collation error

    If you declare it as @oppid, does it work?

    Haven't really worked with collation, but I will try to alter a server here and see.

  • RE: Auto restart SQL Server Agent

    Can you post more information? I am not sure what you mean.

    Also, you should be able to go to the Services item in control panel and stop and start SQLAgent.

  • RE: Testing SQL Server Installation

    There are lots of features, but if you are not using them, do you care? Maybe, but it might be difficult to test some things (replication) if you are not...

    If you have the $$, Quest Software makes a tool for stress testing.

  • RE: Indexes vs Table Scans

    I agree with Andy. PK, FK are great choices for non-clustered indexes.

    Then look at which queries are run often. It doesn't do much good to index (clustered) for a...

  • RE: Data not posting to destination field

    I think that based on this, you need separate fields in SQL Server for each extent. Then this

    DTSSource("meatcost__1")

    Needs to return the correct value.

    Will this work to a text or...

  • RE: Dynamically changing Tables in Transform Data Task

    I'd use a flag to mark when a transfer is complete. either a global variable or a field in a table. then when a task succeeds, mark the variable complete...

  • RE: Data not posting to destination field

    What is an extent? Apologies, but I am not familiar with Postgress.

    Can you transfer from Postgress to varchar() or to a text file?

  • RE: Dynamically changing Tables in Transform Data Task

    Is this one time or periodic?

    If one time, it's quicker to build each one by hand. (also simpler, KISS).
