Attaching Northwind (2000) Into SQL Server 2005
Nov 14, 2006
I am trying to attach to the SQL Server 2000 sample Northwind database using SQL Server 2005. When I do the Database-->Attach using the GUI everything seems alright. I can open the Northwind database and see the usual listing of stuff.
However, when I click on the Database Diagrams, I get an error message stating "Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database does not have a valid owner. To continue, first use the Files page of the Database Properties dialog box or the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to set the database owner to a valid login, then add the database support objects."
I have tried repeatedly to get the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to work, all to no avail. I have restarted my machine, and the properties of the database is now saying that the owner is the same as the other databases I have, but I keep getting the error message.What am I doing wrong here? How can I fix this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello,
I've seen threads concerning this problem. I have followed the prescribed steps to fix the problem. I've set the db owner to sa, I've set compatibility to 2005. Still I can't get the diagram to function.
Can anyone out there help me?
Thanks, Bill

Hi,
I have made a backup of a sql 2000 database that was on the server at work and and I would like to use it in sql 2005 express on my home laptop.
Can anyone help? I can't seem to work out how to do it. Do I restore it or re-attach it? Is it possible?
Sorry if these are basic questions.

I just upgraded a large SQL 2000 database server to SQL 2005, and I have 2 databases that won't attach to the 2005 Server. They are both very small, about 90MB in size, and when I attach them to 2005, the process alternates between running and spinloop status. It can sit forever, and will never complete. I restored backups before the upgrade to a SQL 2000 Server, and reran DBCC CheckDB on both, and got no consistency errors, Updated Stats and indexes, then detached and moved the data files to 2005, and same thing.

I've just installed SQL Server 2000 on my local machine. I'm using the following element in my web.config file for my connection string.
<add key="SqlNWind512" value="server=(local)141.705.84.745;database=Northwind;
user id=sa;pwd=h3fe8eq7;packet size=512;" />
Unfortunately, I'm getting the following error on my aspx page:
SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
I had no problem writing a connection string to connect to the MSDE installed on my computer, but making a connection to the Northwind database on my newly installed SQL Server 2000 Developer edition has been elusive to me.
I'm sure my IP address is correct. The authentication mode for logging into the database via Enterprise Manager is setup to require a password for sa. Therefore, I assume it's required in the connection string???
Maybe not so coincidentally, while I have been able to open this database through the Server Explorer in VS.NET, I'm not able to access it via Enterprise Mananger (no response, it just hangs) or my aspx pages.
I'm dying here!!! Is my connection string wrong? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

How do I reattached a SQL server database if the log file was not backed up and none is available. Our server went belly up and the backups were only copying the *.MDF files. The log files were not being included in the backup for some reason.
I know in version 7.0 you could reattach with out the log file but I am having a more difficult time figuring out how to get around thin in SQL 2000. Anybody got any ideas???
Thanks!!!

Hi all,
In the last one and half years, I used the Northwind Database in SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) to learn the programming of SqlConnections, Data sources, Database Exploere, ADO.NET 2.0, etc. via VB 2005 Express.
The Northwind Database in my SSMSE got lost very often, but I was not aware of it. How can I know where the Northwind Database is used or processed by my VB 2005 Express projects that were the examples of some tutorial books or my trial projects? How can I release the Northwind Database back to my SSMSE from the VB 2005 Express projects? Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,

Hi
We would like to install Sql 2005 Enterprise Edition (including database engine, reporting service, integration service and analysis service) as a sepearte instance on a server which already has Sql 2000 with reporting services and analysis services. We do not want to disturb the existing sql 2000 setup.
If we do that then what will happen to my earlier sql 2000 reporting service? Will it be upgraded to sql 2005 reporting service? I heard that reporting services are instance unaware application. Where will be the default reporting service database available?
Please help us.

We have our production SQL 2005 server (64 bit Standard Ed.) attached to an iSCSI Equalogic SAN. We have set up 2 new servers an installed the cluster service. My question is: can I install SQL 2005 in this cluster environment an latter on disconnect the data and log volumes from the production server, attach those volumes to the cluster an reattach the DBs? the reason we need to do it like that is that we don't have enough spare space in the SAN to initially create these 2 volumes in the cluster.
Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,
I have created an .iss file which when compiled creates a setup.exe file on a cd rom. Within the .iss I have extracted the sqlexpress files out so that it will install straight from disk to the users machine rather than from the .msi file. All this has been successful so far....
My problem is:- I want to attach a database to the an instance of sqlexpress on the users machine. I have detached it from SQL Server 2000 and copied it over to the cd. The setup file copies these over the users hard drive. I have looked through many forums etc and the words that keep popping up are:-
sqlcmd.exe
template.ini
type into the command prompt.
Sorry if I'm a little ignorant but I am not sure how to go about these. How do I open the command prompt on the users machine from CD? Do I have to create something to do this?
Any information would be appreciated, any guidance or scripts would be great.
Regards
Sam

Hi, I am trying to edit some data from a SQL2000-datasource in ASP.NET 2.0 and have a problem with a column that has bit-data and is used for selection. SQL2005 works fine when declaring <SelectParameters> <asp:Parameter DefaultValue="TRUE" Name="APL" Type="boolean" /> </SelectParameters>When running this code with SQL2000, there are no error-msgs, but after editing a record the "APL"-column looses its value of 1 and is set to 0. Looks like an issue with type-conversion, we've hit incompatibilities between SQL200 and 2005 with bit/boolean several times before. So, how is this done correctly with SQL2000? (I've tried setting the Type to "int16" -> err. Also setting Defval="1" gave an err) ThanksMichael

Anyone knows what I need to do more?

Hi all,
Long time ago, I downloaded the Northwind and pubs databases from the Microsoft website (I do not remember the details of it) and installed these two databases together into the SQL Server Management Studio Express of my PC (Microsoft Windows XP Pro). I tried to learn an example of using "User Instance" (source code was from a book) on the Northwind database located in my SQL Server Management Studio Express. I just find out that my Northwind database has the title only and no tables at all. If I click on the "+" in front of the "Northwind", I got the following error message:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express
Failed to retrieve data for this request.(Microsoft SqlServer.Express.SmoEnum)
Additional information:
One or more files do not match the primary file of the database. If you are attempting to attach a database, retry the operation with the correct files. If this is an existing database, the file may be corrupted and should be restored from backup. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 5173)..
Please help and tell me how I can repair this Northwind database in my SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Scott Chang
P. S.
I deleted the name 'Northwind' in my SQL Server Management Studio Express, executed the "SQL2005DBScriptsInstnwind" program and I got the following error message: Msg 1802, Level 16, State 4, Line 1

I have several SQL 2000 servers I need to setup transactional (non updatable) replication with. The structure is:
SQL Server 2000 as Publisher/Distributor
SQL Server 2005 Standard as Subscriber
The connection is via the Internet with snapshots using FTP.
I setup the first set (2 databases at location A). They work wonderfully. I created the publication and then subscribed using MGMT Studio for 2K5.
II am setting up the same scenario for location B. Here is my problem:
In MGMT Studio I connect to the publisher (SANDRA). I right-click a publication and choose New Subscriptions..., the publication is already selected. I click next - Run each agent at its Subscriber is selected and the only option (this is desired), I click Next
HERE IS THE PROBLEM:
On the Subscriber's screen there are no Subscribers listed. When setting up location A the subscribing server was listed and I could choose a database. The Next button is greyed out and there is no way to create/add one.
I tried setting up the subscription by right-clicking the subcribing server's Replication folder in MGMT Studio but I get the same result (except that I have to authenticate with the publishing server which works fine).
WHAT'S DIFFERENT:
Location A is SQL Server Standard (SP3) running on SBS2K3. It is obviously on a domain and so SQL Server and the SQL Agent are running under domain accounts. Location B is a Windows XP SP2 machine running SQL Server Personal Edition (it actually says Development Edition in the properties window).
The databases are the same strucutre, different data. At location A the firewall is set to allow 1433->*any* and *any*->1433 where *any* is 1024 or higher. On the XP machine the firewall is set to allow port 1433. I don't think this is the issue because I've turned the firewall off on the XP machine and I get the same result.
ANY IDEAS?
