Microsoft updates SQL Server 2000 with 64-Bit features
World’s largest software company Microsoft shipped out a new service pack for SQL Server 2000. This upgrade is developed to bring certain 64-bit functionalities to this aging server solution. They call it the SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4 and it accumulates all the previous SPs namely SP1, SP2 and SP3a. This would give the network administrator a single patch to apply to a freshly installed SQL Server 2003 to bring it up-to-date.
The company also said that this update is the first of its kind to service the 64-bit edition of SQL Server. It would now allow the users of SQL Server 2000 running Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition to run 32-bit SQL Server applications on 64-bit architectures in Windows on Windows emulation also known as WOW64.
This update is also capable of delivering performance improvements on 64-bit 32-way and above systems. The company also updated the Visual Database Tools to address security. Plus, new registry entries in the service pack are added to provide more control over the various parameters like security, metadata and memory management of the SQL Server installation.
