I may not be the best forum for this post, however I believe some one
can still help me or direct me somewhere else.
I'm finding that win 2003 x64 and SQL 2005 CTP is slower than win 2003
and SQL 2000.
Machine A: Opteron 2.2 (248) w/ 2 cpus. 8GB memory. SCSI disk array.
Windows Enterprise 2003 x64 final release. SQL Server 2005 enterprise
CTP.
Machine B: Opeteron 2.2 (248) w/ 2 CPUs. 4GB Memory. IDE Drives.
Windows Server 2003 (32bit) and SQL Server 2005 (standard).
I'm using Cognos' DecisionStream as the ETL tool (32bit). I have the
identical job on both machines. Machine A is slower to do my nightly
build (1h 20m) vs. Machine B (50m).
I've done no tweaking of the databases. I Used SQL 2005's studio to
copy the database from Machine B to Machine A.
The only major difference is the O/S and SQL, the machines are same
speed, however Machine A has twice the memory and faster disk; so I
would expect it to be faster.
Can anyone think of smoking guns I might be missing?

I highly recommend that you check out Kevin Kline's article on Bare
Metal Tuning in this month's SQL Server Magazine. It does require a
subscription, but he goes through a series of steps to show you what
changes to hardware configuration will do to SQL Server performance.
One thing he noted in a live presentation of this at DevTeach is that
when you do these tests, you need to be careful about changing multiple
things in between benchmarks. For example, you said the only major
difference is the O/S and SQL Type, but yet your hardware specs are
very different.
Questions that come to mind for me are:
1. Do you have AWE enabled on both machines?
2. Is hyperthreading on or off on both machines (is an Opteron even an
hyperthreaded CPU?)
3. Are your database objects segregated in the same fashion on both
machines?
Again, I really recommend Kevin's article; it might give you some leads
in how to explain the differences.

Hi to all.
After working a while with visual basic express 2005 and SQLserver 2005
express, mainly to learn the vb language and to take my first steps with
ADO.net, I decided to buy Visual Basic .Net 2003 standard edition.
The install went fine and in the server explorer I can connect to all
databases on my SQLserver 2000 MSDE, not to those made with SQLserver 2005
express, but this seems normal, isn't it?

We are running SQL 7, using Access 2000 as a front end. Our network person
is wanting to migrate to Windows 2003 (we're currently on Windows 2000), and
wants to know if we should migrate to SQL 2003 at the same time. Are there
major changes between SQL 7 and SQL 2003, and how hard of a task would it be
to migrate our single database to a new version of SQL?
Thanks,

We have an Access 2000 MDB with a SQL 7 back end. We are upgrading SQL

mentioned that they had heard about some incompatibilities between Access

with Access 2000 be better?

Has anyone heard of any problems running SQL 7 under Windows Server 2003?
We're upgrading to 2003 and are wondering if we can keep SQL 7 with the new
OS.
Question 2: If we upgrade SQL to SQL 2005, can I run our database in SQL 7
mode? Or would it be better to just convert it to SQL 2005?
Thanks!

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
