Poll: SQL2k, NT, and Stability

  • I've been plagued by strange bugs over the last several month after upgrading to SQL2K SP2 on Win NT 4.0 SP6a. I'm wondering how many people out there are running on the same platform and whether it has been stable or not. Perhaps, NT is the source of my troubles and not SQL2k?

    Any feedback appreciated!

  • We have had no issues, but it does run far superior on Win 2K that NT4. What is the bug?

  • No issues on SQL 2K or SQL 7. W2K is sooo much better than NT4. Terminal Services alone are worth it.

  • We have a couple of SQL2000 SP2's installed on NT 4.0. No strange problems. We plan to upgrade to Win2K server soon.

    Once you've accepted your flaws, no one can use them against you.

  • We have some SQL Server 2000's running on NT 4.0 and others that we have upgraded to Windows 2000. The only problem we ran into was with one of the FTP commands changed from NT 4.0 to Windows 2000. Other than that the upgrades went great. We are planning to upgrade all our Servers to Windows 2000. Perhaps upgrading will eliminate the problems you are having.
