MDAC Upgrade

Please advice.
I have a WIN 2K SP3 ADV Server that runs SQL 2K with MDAC
2.6 SP1.
I would like to upgrade this to MDAC 2.7. Can I simply
run the MDAC 2.7 update or what is the Microsoft way to
do this.
Help Appreciated.SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3a comes with MDAC 2.7 Service Pack 1a, so the
best way is to install the SQL Server Service Pack.

with MDAC 2.6 SP1. What is the best course of action to
upgrade to MDAC 2.7

We run Win 2K SP4 and SQL2000 SP2 +. Remember to make sure that the server
MDAC is at least the same level as the client or higher. MDAC can introduce
changes that cause things like DTS, run from the client, to fail.
We upgraded the server to MDAC 2.7SP1A and then the clients. A simple
download and then run the DASETUP.

Maximum size of table?

SQL20 Ent SP3 WIN2K Adv SP3
I'm hoping for some guidance here.
I've a single table with 184,000,000 rows, I think this is probably
a good candidate for some kind of partitioning.
My question is, how many rows would constitute a decent sized
table, before partitioning?
I know it's a very subjective question and depends on row size
database size and others, but any opinions would be most welcome.It's more on what you do with the data and how you access it. Explain a
little of how you access this table and we can give a better answer.

In addition to the previous, Data Junction is used to load the data, query

any of the previous rows or just the new ones? How about the subsets, are
they created only from the new data? Sounds like you work mainly with
blocks of data, maybe by date. If that's true then you may consider
partitioning the data by date (weeks, Month, quarter etc) so it's easier to
work with only the relevant data. If you do keep it in a single table then
make sure you have a clustered index on the column(s) that will allow you to
differentiate the current data. Otherwise you may be scanning the entire
table over and over for these updates and queries.
