[PROOF] Sql 2000 VS Sql 2008 R2

you can always use a virtual machine.
and don't come with "virtual machines suck" :/

@up, bro.
Most of the ppls here dont know that much.

You've just proved, that sql 2000 is better use.

Good job.

Not really
He just proved that sql 2000 uses less RAM, which doesn't make it any better(see my prev post)

ask the players about lags and server reactions!
sql server 2008 does much more then just executing queries and giving out results for the gameserver!
look at the ram that the shardmanager is using. way less then on sql server 2008.
can you explain it?
lemme explain it for you. sql server 2008 takes too much time to process all the queries given by the shardmanager. and because of that most of the stuff stays in shardmanager's stack. forcing it someday to crash and maybe even to lose data.
let i t run 1 month without restart.and you'll get shitloads of problems.

sir, if you would be so nice, tell me, WHY should someone use a sql server version above sql 2000!

why da hell is everybody saying that newer versions are better, without giving one fucking reason why, in this particular case, it is better using a cool-newest-server-version instead of the good old sql 2000.
please... jsut saying "it is better, and consuming more ram is better too" isn't enough tbh.
please give your statement so people can actually follow you :)

that doesn't really make sense!
1.it won't stay in the stack
2.If it really crashes after some time it's not well programmed
3.why would it even crash???
4.if the sql server would be too slow the cpu usage would be higher
5.ever tried to run it more than a month?

Optimizations, improvements

Look at my first post in this thread

huge ram usage causes wrong sql confirgation, i have 132K ram usage with 500~700 players (sql server 2008 r2)

Like I said quite some times already: lower RAM usage doesn't make it any better. It makes it worse mostly
If you don't have a SSD it could make it quite slow
You have enough RAM. It's there to be used

well this can importatn to servers depending how they operate
if the server is 1k ppl and pvp, 2000 is the best since no big data is in danger of exploiting
if the server is a big server with normal gameplay, 2008 can avoid any kind of security holes 2000 has
its my opinion
ofc, even if 2008 maybe be more secure, it wont stop a hacker exploiting a sa,123456 login

So.. i'm so bored to read 3 pages of it..

If i'm correct the sql 2k is better than sql 2k8 for use "vsro database"?

dwo/class are using 2k. i am using 2k. and it is better then 2k8 for this particular case.
sro server files were made for sql server 2000. and not even 1 function of sql server 2008 is being used by the server files / web services. so yes, it is a waste of resources, as you can see on the screens.

server files designed for all versions of sql server because you are selecting which driver server will run.main query system of sql server is exec xxxx, select * from xxxx etc.only newer versions of sql re-desings for frameworks to work with more compatible for .net framework programs and more file read/write performance for db dumps

PAINT EDIT NOOB :D
Naah joking.^^

But that isn't a proove. Where is the proofe that there are 900 users online at the 2tn pic? There also can be only 2 online xD

Yés MEN BEST PROOVE EVAR!!! GOOD WORK!!
