1. Module 1: Introduction to Microsoft SQL Server 7.0

2. Overview SQL Server 7.0 Design Goals Upgrading SQL Server Databases Installation and Configuration Changes

3.  SQL Server 7.0 Design Goals Increase Performance Reduce Cost of Ownership Improve Scalability Support Microsoft Windows 95/98 Improve Data Warehousing Capabilities

4. Increase Performance Storage Engine Files instead of devices and segments 8-KB pages instead of 2-KB pages Row-level locking Query Processor Integration with Microsoft Windows NT Permissions assigned to Windows NT users or groups New fixed roles

5. Reduce Cost of Ownership Dynamic Resource Management Automatic memory, disk, and resource management Creation and updating of statistics on non-indexed columns Recompilation of query execution plans Selection of page-level or row-level locking Improved Management Tools Improved Development Tools Multiserver Job Management

6. Improve Scalability Very Large Database Support Backup and restore DBCC statements Bulk copy program Integration with Microsoft Access 2000 SQL Server engine (MSDE), in addition to the Jet engine Improves application scalability

7. Support Microsoft Windows 95/98 Common Source Code for All Versions of SQL Server Non-Supported SQL Server Features Incoming named pipes connections Windows NT authenticated connections Encryption using Multiprotocol network library connections Performance counters

8. Improve Data Warehousing Capabilities Data Transformation Services Moves data between SQL Server, OLE DB, ODBC, or a text file format data source Microsoft SQL Server OLAP Services Allows storage of data in various formats and locations Microsoft Repository Stores descriptive information (data lineage) Microsoft English Query Support Allows users to pose questions in English Full-Text Search Issues queries against character data and indexes

9. Upgrading SQL Server Databases Installation and Upgrade Scenarios Upgrade SQL Server databases during installation Upgrade later Database Compatibility Levels Level 70 allows the use of all new syntax and features Levels 60 and 65 allow the use of SQL Server version 6.0 and SQL Server 6.5 syntax and features only All compatibility levels benefit from SQL Server 7.0 performance enhancements

10.  Installation and Configuration Changes Minimum Hardware and Software Requirements SQL Server 7.0 Editions SQL Server Installation Options SQL Server Setup Unattended Installation

13. SQL Server Installation Options Installation option or result SQL Server 7.0 change Upgrade Option to upgrade existing user databases Installation path C:\Mssql7 Location and size of master C:\Mssql7\Data; 9 MB New sample database northwind Default Windows NT Server network libraries Named Pipes, TCP/IP Sockets, Multiprotocol Default Windows 95/98 server network libraries TCP/IP Sockets, Multiprotocol, Shared Memory Unicode collation General Unicode, case-insensitive, width-insensitive, Kana-insensitive Custom sort order Not supported New installed services SQLServerAgent (replaces SQL Executive) Microsoft Search (full-text indexing and querying) SQLServerAgent (replaces SQL Executive) Microsoft Search (full-text indexing and querying)

14. SQL Server Setup Types of SQL Server 7.0 Installation Information Files Created by the Setup Program Sqlstp.log Cnfgsvr.out Most recent error log vswitch Utility Microsoft English Query and SQL Server OLAP Services

15. Unattended Installation Performing an Unattended Installation Command and Setup Initialization Files Sql70cli.batSql70cli.iss Sql70ins.batSql70ins.iss Sql70cst.batSql70cst.iss Creating a Custom Setup Initialization File Modify a default setup initialization file Modify a setup initialization file generated by the Setup program
