Overview

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is a software program developed by Microsoft. The most common release is 8.00.194, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The setup package generally installs about 44 files and is usually about 467.1 MB (489,790,325 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows XP. While about 17% of users of Microsoft SQL Server 2000 come from the United States, it is also popular in Iran and Indonesia.
