No icon or utilities...

Does anyone know why, after an upgrade from SQL 2000 to 2K5, there would not be an icon or a path to get to Management Studio? I can register the server from other locations and the services are running on that box, but there are no options on the box itself to get to Management Studio.(i.e. Start...Programs...SQL Server 2005...Management Studio) Please advise.

Most likely, the client tools were not installed. I don't think that they are installed in a default installation on a Server OS.

Put in your installation media, and select client tools.

No compatibilty level 90 option after upgrade from SQL 2000 to 2005

I did an in place upgrade of my SQL 2000 server to SQL 2005.

Now all the system and user databases are set to compatibilty mode 80 and in the options tab there is no compatibilty mode 90 option.

How can I set the databasbes to compatibility mode 90?

Thanks!

Stange thing, did you try using the TSQL command for that ?

sp_dbcmptlevel [ [ @.dbname = ] name ]
[ , [ @.new_cmptlevel = ] version ]
90 = SQL Server 2005

Nightmare query upgrade from Access

Hi, nice to meet you all ^^

I've been given this access database to look at which could eventually be upgraded to SQL, I am conducting a kind of initital research in to how we would go about it. The previous system has developed over time and is pretty messy. I'm not really a database developer, but as everyone is busy on other things, this side project has been given to me to look at as a warm up!

Basically I've managed to upsize all the tables and their contents, and have begun copying the forms over to a .adp - creating most of the queries as stored procedures.

I'm working through cronologically, and this is the 2nd query the system requires... It was full of IIf statements which I have commented out. The adp works, but is missing a lot of data - can't really work out where it was meant to be feeding from, I personally can't stand access - but it's what the original was created in and what they want to use.

I've commented out the IIf statements. I began by trying to convert them in to CASE statements and such - but frankly can't get my head around that.

Getting back to basics... I suppose the question would be: I am upsizing from access to SQL, what the heck do I do with all these IIf statements?IS your question how to change IIF(Experssion,true,false) to a case statement

iif(1=2,'One=Two','ONE<>TWO')

would return 'ONE<>TWO'

case when 1=2 then 'One=Two' else 'ONE<>TWO' end

would return 'ONE<>TWO'

Also

IIf([saledesc] Like "C*",[sale & lot.LotNum] & "C",[sale & lot.LotNum] & "F") AS SaleLetter,

CASE WHEN SALEDESC like 'C%' then lotnum + 'C' else lotnum + 'F' end|||Thanks - that's a starting step for me!
