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longer actively developed or updated, as it has been superseded by SQL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 database using Enterprise Manager to manage your database, simply follow the steps listed below.
- Open Enterprise Manager, navigate to SQL Server Group (default group)
- Right Click on SQL Server Group, select "New SQL Server Registration"
- Type the SQL Server Name (found in your Control Panel) in the "Available Servers" text box and click "Add." Click "Next"
- Select SQL Server Authentication as "Authentication Mode." Click "Next"
- Type in the Login and password (can be found in your database activation email). Click "Next"
- Click "Next" and "Finish"
