Question on just connectivity tools for SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 We are in the process of doing a inplace-upgrade of our SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. Currently all of the client computers have only the connectivity tools from SQL 2000 installed in them. Is it necessary to upgrade all the client machines with new SQL 2005 connectivity tools? Any advice in this regard will be greatly appreciated. Question on Client tools for SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 The other question I have is I have a unique client that has SQL 2000 Client tools installed, I am planning to also install the SQL 2005 Client tools, in this scenario when the Client connects to the Server which client setting does it take. So for instance if in the SQL Serever 2000 Network Client utility if I have only tcp_ip enabled as the network protocol and on SQL 2005 if I have only Namedpipes enabled, how does SQL Server figure out which setting should it look at? Do I need to keep them consistent for both? Thanks

- 1. Backup SQL 2005 to SQL 2000
Hi, Is there anyway to restore a database that was created on SQL 2005 into SQL 2000. We have a database that I have been doing some testing on, on SQL 2005 and need to restore it back to SQL 2000 but keep getting various messages. I have read that there is no way to do this but thought I would drop a message in here first to confirm this or to find a way to do it? Thanks Mike - 2. Backup SQL 2005 - Restore In SQL 2000
Hi, I have been testing a database in SQL 2005 (keeping it in 2000 Mode from the properties) and need to restore it back to another machine running SQL 2000 SP4. I am getting errors and cannot find a way to do it? Can any one help please? Thanks Mike - 3. converting varchar to smallmoney
Hi My ticket engine stores values in varchar. The sql db-field that corresponds was created as smallmoney. The below statement works for conversion of "leavedays" if the given value is entered without any decimal places (E.G. 4) As soon as a user enters a value that includes decimal places (E.G. 4.5) the conversion will not work. In this case the value 4.5 is rounded to 5. What do i have to do to convert the value as it is entered by the user? Thanks in advance t. Statement: INSERT INTO leavereq (mitarbeiter, startdate, enddate, leavedays, remainingdays, approvedby, approvedon) SELECT {0} , convert(datetime, {1}) , convert(datetime, {2}), convert(numeric, {3}), convert(numeric, {4}),{5}, getdate() DDL for concerned database: CREATE TABLE [dbo].[leavereq] ( [mitarbeiter] char(50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL, [startdate] datetime NULL, [enddate] datetime NULL, [leavedays] smallmoney NULL, [remainingdays] smallmoney NULL, [approvedon] datetime NULL, [approvedby] char(50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] GO - 4. Remember password checkbox does NOT remember password
SQL Server 2005->SQL Server Management Studio->Connect to Server-window: Remember password-checkbox does not stay checked and the password field is emptied. How many years still for a company that has 31 billion dollars in cash to fix this annoying problem in a login screen on one of their most important products SQL Server 2005? Remember password-checkbox does not remember password. - 5. Using COLLATE in ORDER BY?
Apparently my complaints about sorting can be addressed using the COLLATE clause. So I modified my select like this... select col1, col2 COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS_KS_WS from stuff order by col1, col2 COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS_KS_WS It appears to have no effect, however. I would have thought that selecting "width sensitive" would answer my problems, but no such luck. Am I doing anything obviously wrong here? Maury

Hi Without upgrading the clients you will not have access to the facilities available to the Native Client although this may not be a problem immediately after upgrading. Depending on what you require the client tools for, then you may not need to upgrade them, but you will not have any of the SQL 2005 specific features available. The protocol used by your application will depend on what you have specified in the connection string, installing SQL 2005 may give you more updated versions of the component you use. If you are not using SQL 2000, I would look at removing the SQL 2000 tools. HTH John

What is the recommended approach regarding the client tools and application connectivity in a mixed environment where we have SQL Server 2000 and are starting to migrate to SQL Server 2005.

What is the preferred or recommended way to handle this? Any issues, gotchas, etc?
