  20. Server Setting Tab • Way in which SQL Server 2000 handles two-digit years is set from the Server Settings Tab • Two-digit years less than or equal to last two digits of cutoff year are in same century as that of cutoff year • Years greater than last two digits of cutoff year are in century previous to that of cutoff year • Rules are not applied for explicit four-digit years Figure 3-10: Configured values and Running values

  21. Memory Tab • Memory tab allows minimum and maximum size parameter for amount of memory that SQL Server 2000 will use Figure 3-11: Memory tab of the SQL Server Properties screen

  25. Connections Tab • Connections tab allows maximum number of simultaneous user connections to be specified Figure 3-15: Connections tab of the SQL Server Properties screen

  26. Configuring Server Options with Sp_configure • Most configuration options modified in SQL Server properties screen are available through a system-stored procedure called sp_configure • The sp_configure procedure takes two parameters: • @configname • Name of the configuration setting to change • @configvalue • New value to assign to the specified configuration setting

  27. Configuring Server Options with Sp_configure Table 3-3: Configuration names for use with sp_configure

  28. Configuring Server Options with Sp_configure Table 3-3: Configuration names for use with sp_configure (cont.)

  29. Configuring E-mail for SQL Server 2000 • There are two services of SQL Server 2000 that provide mail functionality: • SQLMail • SQLAgentMail • Both services can connect to the following e-mail server types: • Microsoft Exchange Server • Microsoft Windows NT Mail • Post Office Protocol (POP3)

  30. Configuring E-mail for SQL Server 2000 Figure 3-16: SQL Mail Configuration screen

  31. Sending Mail with SQLMail • Extended stored procedures • Function that is part of an external software object (DLL), which is coded using the SQL Server 2000 Extended Stored Procedure API Figure 3-17: SQL Server Agent Properties
