Attach Database Between Different Sort Orders
Feb 27, 2004
Hi,
Just wanted to check. I've got a SQL 7.0 box on NT4 with about 40 databases (each about 500Mb-1Gb) which I want to move to SQL2000.
The main problem is, the 7.0 box was built with a sort order not officially supported by the finance software that uses the databases, so I want to build the SQL2000 box with the default sort orders and character sets.
I've done this in a test environment by copying the .mdf files accross and attaching them to the SQL2000 box, and this all seems to work. But is this advisable, and will there be any problems?
Thanks for the help!!

Is there a query you can run against a 7.0 server to return the chracter set and sort order.

Hi There i have two windows 2000 servers which are both running SQL and i would like to restore a backup from one server to the other. Which in my opinion should be an easy task but when i go into the restore option and point it at the file i would like to restore i get the follwoing error
"The database you are attempting to restore was backed up under a different sort order ID (52) than the one you are currently using on this server (50) and at least one of them is a non binary sort order. Backup or restore operation operation terminating abnormally."
The server that i am trying to restore to already has databases on this so i cannot just reinstall SQL and change the sort order not that id know how to do that but this is what i have read.
Is htere anyway that i can put insome script for the database to fix this ???
Im using Enterprise manager with SQL server 7
Thanks in advance

Hello all-
Maybe someone has some insight on this... I currently have some hash values (SHA512 through Enterprise Library) that I'm trying to compare to data in our database. When I sort the values on the pipeline (DT_STR, 1252) with a Sort and compare them against values coming out of an OLE DB Source (SQL_Latin_1_General_CP1_CI_AS) with a Merge Join, any hash that has a '/' in it is treated as inequal to the one in the database.
For even more fun, when I change the sort/merge join to a Lookup, everything (seems) to check out. Is the 1252 code page not the same as SQL_Latin_1_General_CP1_CI_AS? Any other reasons this might be happening?
Cheers,
-Brandon Tucker

Other than the error log is there an easy way to find the sort order and
chracter set of an installed SQL Server. Also after finding the numbers
is there a good reference to tell you what these numbers mean.
Thanks

Hi,
I am developing database support for my application and I am using EDB. I would like to use sort orders to make the code easier but I was wondering if sort orders generate index tables. I mean, do they only sort the records during addition or they also generate index tables to speed up queries. In other words, do they make the database file bigger?
In the MSDN documentation I can not find anything on this.
Thanks,
Giulio

Help ...
Does this mean that I have to re-install SQL Server7 on the target server? For some reason, all except one (the source in this case) of our servers were set up taking the defaults (or at least they are all the same). I can not change the source.
Any advise, before I kill myself

I have a medical records system, SoapWare v4.90, that uses MSDE (SQL2000) databases. Due to the 2gb limitation, I am trying to migrate over to SQL 2005 (Standard or Express) which I have heard works fine. The SoapWare has a datamanager that allows me to log in to the MSDE instance, detach the SoapWare databases from msde (as well as do backups, etc) which I can confirm are detached.
Then I log back into a SQL2005 database instance using the datamanager and try to attach the database. This is what their pictured instructions demonstrate. However, I get the following error:
Database 'sw_charts' cannot be upgraded because it is read-only or has read-only files. Make the database or files writeable, and rerun recovery.
Of course, some of the entries will be read only, since doctors have to sign off the charts and are not allowed to subsequently change them. But I should still be able to switch over to sql 2005?!?!?!?
Or... is there a way to attach the databases to SQLExpress manually?
Help pls?

Greetings, I have just arrived back into the country (NZ) and back into ASP.NET.
I am having trouble with the following:An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file (file location).../Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
It has only begun since i decided i wanted to use IIS, I realise VWD comes with its own localhost, but since it is only temporary, i wanted a permanent shortcut on my desktop to link to my intranet page.
Anyone have any ideas why i am getting the above error? have searched many places on the internet and not getting any closer.
Cheers ~ J

If I detach a database on a server, then attach the database with asingle file only using the data file...will I lose any transactionsthat were in the original log file? There is a debate going on here atwork where some people think that during the detach, transactions inthe log file are saved to the data file.Thanks!

I've created a database inside my ASP.net project, the database is in the App_Data folder as exepcted.I can't run the aspnet_regsql until I have attached it using SQL Server Management Studio, but when I try to attach the database it doesn't let me navigate through my folders properly. The database is in C:UsersWardieDocumentsFirstProjectApp_Data but SQL SMS only lets me navigate to the folder C:UsersWardie and no further for some reason, meaning I can't attach the database and can't use the aspnet_regsql service to create the membership tables.Does anyone know how to fix this?

I want to attach a database that one of the developers had detach it. The LDF file was deleted after detach.
I tried to attach and rebuild the log file in SQL2005 using the following:
USE [master]
GO
CREATE DATABASE [Test] ON
(FILENAME = N'G:MSSQLDataTest.mdf')
FOR ATTACH_REBUILD_LOG
GO
I get the following error:
File activation failure. The physical file name "D:MSSQLDATATest_log.LDF" may be incorrect.
The log cannot be rebuilt because the database was not cleanly shut down.
Msg 1813, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Could not open new database 'Test'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
What should I do?
Thanks,
Canada DBA

Hi,
I have a database that I developed using both Toad for SQL and SQL Server Managment Studio.
All was working fine. I could connect to the database with one of the above and also run two an applications I developed (one in C# and One in VB.NET using VS Express) using the standard SQLConnection class.
the following connection string worked fine...
Server="(local)"; Trusted_Connection="yes"; Database="CDEvolution";
Now, for one reason or another I decided to create a new data source in my Visual Studio project and pointed it to the database fine.
At first it seemed ok as I could see all tables from teh database. However somethign strage has happened. I now can't access the database in TOAD or SQL Server Managment Studio. I also couldn't connect using the above string.
I finally managed to get the two appllications I developed to access database using the following connection string...
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataCDEvolution.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=6000;User Instance=True;
and the applications work fine, however I can access the database using the DB tools.
In SQL Server Managment Studio I remove the database and tried to attach it again but I keep getting the following error message...Could not find row in sysindexes for database ID 5, object ID 1, index ID 1. Run DBCC CHECKTABLE on sysindexes.
Could not open new database 'C:PROGRAM FILESMICROSOFT SQL SERVERMSSQLDATACDEVOLUTION.MDF'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
Any ideas on how I can get access back?
Cheers in advance,
Kevin

Hi,
We are trying to attach a Database from SQL7 to SQL2K SP3.
On SQL7
The Database was detached and the MDF copied to the New Server.
On SQL2K
We used the attach Db (in Enterprise Manager).
We get a red 'x' as normal against the logfile and noramlly it would create a new one when u proceed, but this time we are getting an error after the dialogue box asking to create a new one:
Error 1813: Could not open new database 'dbname'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
Device activation error. The physical file name 'd:mssql7datadbname.ldf' maybe incorrect.
The path is where the logfile resided on the old server.
Regards
John.

Has anyone ever used the CREATE DATABASE statement with the FOR ATTACH clause?
I have a database with something like 128 physical data files which I have to move (detach, move the physical files and then re-attach). Since the limit for sp_attach_db is 16 files, I am forced to use the FOR ATTACH option. I was wondering if anyone had ever done this and if there were any hints and/or recommendations you might be willing to share...
Regards,
