SQL SVR 2000 STD ED CD NT/W2K W/ 5U CAL
The next-generation database for the business Internet, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is the fastest way to deliver the next generation of scalable Web applications with Windows DNA. It dramatically reduces the time required to bring e-commerce, data warehousing, and line-of-business applications to market, while offering the scalability needed for the most demanding environments. The foundation for Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) and data mining is included and fully integrated with SQL Server.
1 Small Upgrades, Some Issues
There are some important additions, such as clustering and failover support, and a few niceties like user-defined functions and indexed views. Upgrading the data format from 7 to 8 was seamless, but replication was painful. Gone are the Enterprise Manager HTML-based pages at the machine level, replaced by a small maze of things to do to make replication happen. We finally had to reinstall the server to make replication happy. The help file on this topic is a joke. It reads something like "Step 1, configure replication. Step 2, start it up." with absolutely no detail.
My bottom line: take your time in upgrading.
2 Modern, Fast, Smart, Stable
Each time i did something on this new release of SQL Server within some first weeks i was saying two phrases: "Wow! How can i live without this cool thing?" and "It's should be done erlier! It's so simple!". Thousands of new features, improvements. Now i will go home, because i do my work faster than i could think.
