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longer actively developed or updated, as it has been superseded by SQL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.
Follow these steps to configure the SQL client to connect via the alternative port for SQL 2000.
- Go to Start - Programs - Microsoft SQL Server - Select SQL Server Client Network Utility
- In the General Tab - Select TCP/IP in the Enabled protocols box - Click on the Properties
- Change the Default Port number of 1433 in the text box to the alternative port (We currently support connections through port 1433 and 14330)
