Deprecated Database Engine Features in SQL Server 2008

This topic describes the deprecated SQL Server Database Engine features that are still available in SQL Server 2008. These features are scheduled to be removed in a future release of SQL Server. Deprecated features should not be used in new applications.

You can monitor the use of deprecated features by using the SQL Server Deprecated Features Object performance counter and trace events. For more information, see Using SQL Server Objects.

Features Not Supported in the Next Version of SQL Server

The following SQL Server Database Engine features will not be supported in the next version of SQL Server. Do not use these features in new development work, and modify applications that currently use these features as soon as possible. The Feature name value appears in trace events as the ObjectName and in performance counters and sys.dm_os_performance_counters as the instance name. The Feature ID value appears in trace events as the ObjectId.

SQL Server Management Objects (SMO)

SQL Server Database Management Objects (SQL-DMO) has been removed from SQL Server 2008 Express and will be removed from other editions.

We recommend that you modify applications that currently use this feature as soon as possible. If you must support SQL-DMO for SQL Server Express, install the Backward Compatibility Components from the SQL Server 2005 feature pack from the Microsoft Download Center. Do not use SQL-DMO in new development work; use SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) instead. You can obtain the SMO documentation by installing SQL Server 2005 Books Online.

DB-Library

Embedded SQL for C

Although the Database Engine still supports connections from existing applications that use the DB-Library and Embedded SQL APIs, it does not include the files or documentation required to do programming work on applications that use these APIs. A future version of the SQL Server Database Engine will drop support for connections from DB-Library or Embedded SQL applications. Do not use DB-Library or Embedded SQL to develop new applications. Remove any dependencies on either DB-Library or Embedded SQL when you are modifying existing applications. Instead of these APIs, use the SQLClient namespace or an API such as OLE DB or ODBC. SQL Server 2008 does not include the DB-Library DLL required to run these applications. To run DB-Library or Embedded SQL applications, you must have available the DB-Library DLL from SQL Server version 6.5, SQL Server 7.0, or SQL Server 2000.

Change History

Updated content

Corrected the information in the Linked servers category. Replaced OLEDB as the deprecated feature for linked servers with the SQLOLEDB provider and added SQL Server Native Client as the replacement feature.

Added the sp_configure option 'user instance timeout' to the list of deprecated instance options.

Added the DESX encryption option to the list of deprecated features.
