    Can someone please tell me how I can get a copy of SQL Server 7.0?

    I have an application that cannot yet move to SQL 2000 but nowhere on the web can I download this.  The app is already running on SQL 7.0 but there are problems and I want to do a reinstall.

    HELP!!!

    Sorry, but shouldn't you already have a copy of SQL Server 7?

    You might be able to pick up some older book that contains an Eval version on CD.

    why not install /upgrade to SQL 2000 and set the database compatibility to 7 instead of the default of 8?

    then all statements are executed against the sql 7 rules such as no functions, can't use scope_identity(), etc.

    also, i cannot think of a single thaing that would "break" if a db was upsized to sql2000 instead of 7; it is 100% backwards compatible, just with more features.

     

    also, if you have the MSDN, you can download SQL 7.
