Question on SQL Installation

[Chicken'n Toast]

Hello,

Is it possible to install "SQL 2000 Server 1CPU" on a dual processor machine
and make SQL use only one CPU?

Thanx

Re: Question on SQL Installation

Yes, regardless...

But - what version are you talking about?

a.. SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition (64-bit)
a.. SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition
a.. SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition
a.. SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition
a.. SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition
a.. SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE)
a.. SQL Server 2000 Windows® CE Edition (SQL Server CE)

Yes. Look at affinity mask.

Note however this does NOT allow you to purchase just one CPU license if you
go that route for licensing.
