NOTE: We strongly
recommend migrating from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005
or 2008. As Microsoft continues to move forward with SQL server
technology, SQL 2000 will fall further behind the standard. It is no
longer actively developed or updated, as it has been superseded by SQL
2005 and 2008. While we will continue to maintain our existing SQL 2000
servers, our
recommendation is to upgrade your SQL service to a more recent version
at your earliest possible convenience.
If you decide to migrate your SQL database we have a forum post on the steps needed to complete this process.
To connect to your Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database using the Query Analyzer, you will need to follow the steps listed below.
- Open Query Analyzer
- Go to File -> Connect or (Ctrl-O)
- Type the server name into the SQL Server text box (server name can be found in the MS SQL 2000 Database Manager)
- Check "SQL Server Authentication"
- Type in the login name and password into their respective text boxes (login information can be found in the MS SQL 2000 Database Manager)
- Click "Ok"
