Unsupported tuning options for some editions of SQL Server 2000 and of SQL Server 2005
On This Page
INTRODUCTION
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Books Online incorrectly lists the editions of SQL Server that are supported by the Database Engine Tuning Advisor graphical user interface (GUI) and the dta utility.
Note The dta utility is the command prompt version of the Database Engine Tuning Advisor.
The
Database Engine Tuning Advisor GUI and the dta utility can be used to tune databases only on the following editions of SQL Server:
- SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition
- SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition
- SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Evaluation Edition
- SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition
- SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition
- SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition
- SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Evaluation Edition
- SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition
However, not all tuning options are supported for SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition or for the editions of SQL Server 2000.
