Hi.

I am using SQL Server 2000 EE (SP4) on Windows Server 2003 EE (SP2).
Data is populated into the tables in bulk from text files through a third
party application made in VB 6.
The problem is that the data is not populating into the tables as I have
done reindexing several times but all in vain. The problem starts when
upgrade the RAM from 2GB to $GB and  installed the SQL Server 2008 EE on the
same machine, on which SQL Server 2000 was already installed, as a standalone
server. I added the SQL Server 2000 node into the SQL Server 2008 and run the
reindexing.

After that data is not populated into the tables and gives the error
"Timeout expired". As I uninstalled SQL Server 2008 and also reinstalled SQL
Server 2000 but the problem remains the same.

Muhammad Bilal

What do you mean by " I added the SQL Server 2000 node into the SQL Server
2008 and run the
reindexing." ?

I mean that I only used sql server 2008 as a client to sql server 2000 and
reindex the tables already in the sql server 2000.

Re-installing SQL Server is overkill.  Reindexing won't make the data
appear.  Are you sure that the bulk load completed and wasn't rolled back?
How are you selecting the data?  Use Query Analyzer (SQL 2000) or SSMS (SQL
2005 or 2008) and run a SELECT against the target table with the NOLOCK
hint:

select top 100
    *
from
    MyTable with (nolock)

.... will give you 100 rows from the table and will not block on locks.

Data is inserted after comparing the each record inserted in the table with
the rows in another lookup table. Profiler shows the Query “Select * from the
tbl_Lookup” and then cursor close and the error message of “timeout expired”
is displayed.

Before this problem  after showing the “Select * from the tbl_Lookup” the
SQL Server starts populating the data.

Is there any other way or steps to increase the efficiency of the SQL Server
other than reindexing. Or any maintenance plan to improve the efficiency of
the SQL Server which should be done periodically.

I am using software developed in VB 6. No I haven’t tried increasing the
timeout settings. Does it make any difference?
Kindly can you tell me how to do it?
