• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 and RDO compatibility

  Are there any known issues with using RDO with SQL Server 2005 My company is in the process of updating our SQL Server 7 database to SQL Server 2005. Most of our applications are several years old and written using RDO to access the database. I have since started the daunting task of updating all the applications to ADO, but it's only about a quarter of the way done. We need to update the database ASAP, but we cannot wait until all the applications have been updated to ADO. While testing the applications (written in VB6) against the new SQL Server 2005 database, I have come across a problem with the RDO queries not returning ...Show All

• SQL Server Index on bit fields in SQL Server Management Studio

  I noticed that I can put a bit field in an index in a SQL Server 2000 database, while using the SQL Server Management Studio (shipped with SQL Server 2005). In SQL Enterprise Manager this wasn't possible. Does SQL Server 2000 support indexes on bit fields and doesn't Enterprise Manager support it, or doesn't SQL Server 2000 support indexes on bit fields and is it a 'bug' of the SQL Server Management Studio Thanks. My experience tells me that this is not true. When the SQL Server only has to access an index instead of the real table, this can increase performance. In the past we've converted Bit fields to Ti ...Show All
