  • SQL Server 2000

    Security:Owner = Schema, hard to remove old users at times

    Encryption:No options built in, expensive third party options with proprietary skills required to implement properly.

    High Availability Clustering or Log Shipping require Enterprise Edition. Expensive hardware.

    Scalability:Limited to 2GB, 4CPUs in Standard Edition. Limited 64-bit support.

    SQL Server 2005

    Security Schema is separate. Better granularity in easily controlling security. Logins can be authenticated by certificates.

    Encryption Encryption and key management build in.

    High Availability Clustering, Database Mirroring or Log Shipping available in Standard Edition. Database Mirroring can use cheap hardware.

  • eature SQL Server 2000 SQL Server 2005

    Server Programming Extensions Limited to extended stored procedures, which are difficult to write and can impact the server stability. The incorporation of the CLR into the relational engine allows managed code written in .NET languages to run. Different levels of security can protect the server from poorly written code.

    T-SQL Error Handling Limited to checking @@error, no much flexibility. Addition of TRY/CATCH allows more mature error handling. More error_xx functions can gather additional information about errors.

    T-SQL Language SQL Language enhanced from previous versions providing strong data manipulation capabilities. All the power of SQL Server 2000 with the addition of CTEs for complex, recursive problems, enhanced TOP capabilities, PIVOT/APPLY/Ranking functions, and ROW_NUMBER

    Auditing Limited support using triggers to audit changes. Robust event handling with EVENT NOTIFICATIONS, the OUTPUT clauses, and DDL triggers.

    Large Data Types Limited to 8k for normal data without moving to TEXT datatypes. TEXT is hard to work with in programming environments. Includes the new varchar(max) types that can store up to 2GB of data in a single column/row.

    XML Limited to transforming relational data into XML with SELECT statements, and some simple query work with transformed documents. Native XML datatype, support for schemas and full XPATH/XQUERY querying of data.

    ADO.NET v1.1 of ADO.NET included enhancements for client development. v2 has more features, including automatic failover for database mirroring, support for multiple active result sets (MARS), tracing of calls, statistics, new isolation levels and more.

    Messaging No messaging built into SQL Server. Includes Service Broker, a full-featured asynchronous messaging system that has evolved from Microsoft Message Queue (MSMQ), which is integrated into Windows.

    Reporting Services An extremely powerful reporting environment, but a 1.0 product. Numerous enhancements, run-time sorting, direct printing, viewer controls and an enhanced developer experience.

  • 1)In Sql server 2005 Enterprise Manager and Query analizer combined as a sqlserver Management Studio

    2)CLR Integration Avaliable

    3)XmL Integartion

    4)SSIS ,SSRS,SSAS services Avliable

    5)DatabaseMail Integration,Notifications Services Avilable

    6)Mirroring Avliable
