Hello.I have loaded SQL 2005 Express (from the web) with SQL ServerManagement Studio Express. I suspect this means that the "SQL ServerAgent" is not available. This "SQL Server Agent" comes with SQL 2000(even the free version of MSDE 2000 has this feature). This agent isuseful for scheduling jobs (in conjunction with the availableEnterprise Manager).So my problem is how do I schedule jobs with this product? It isrunning on the XP OS.Regards JC.......
I did a backup using SQL Server 2005 Express on 1 machine, and when I tried to restore to SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (included with VS 2005 Pro), it gives me the following error: TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio------------------------------ An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch.

I read a few posts about not being able to restore 2005 to 2000, but I have 2005 on both machines. I'm not sure the best way to check, but I know I installed the SQL Server 2005 Developer edition to the new machine recently. Any ideas? Thanks!
Hi,I have an old 2000 bak file for a db that I would now like restoredonto sql server 2005. I keep erroring out though, this is what I'mdoing:Went to Restore Database in sql 2005, selected the db I want itrestored to, and File (say c: empxyz.bak)Checked the restore checkbox, went to options checked Overwrite theexisting database.Do I need to do anything else, maybe in the Restore the database filesas section? As those path are listed as:C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdataxyz.mdfC:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdataxyz_log.ldfIf I just run it without updating those mdf and ldf paths, I keepgetting an error:Exclusive Access could not be obtained because the database is in use.Thanks.

In SQL 2000, When I restore a database backup called "A" as "B" the datafile name and log file will change automatically with the new restored database name , whereas in SQL 2005 the datafile name and log file name remains with backup database name.
Will this issue be addressed in next release of service pack.
I've tried starting SQL from the command line in single user mode (-m). When I try to open Management Studio I receive an error that it can't connect. Can you only restore master from a command line in SQL 2005? Or can I do it from a GUI?

My customer has SQL Server 2005. I have SQL Server 2000 on my laptop (on XP Pro). I believe I have an empty database the same as theirs, but I need to restore their data. They sent me a normal SQL Backup, but my laptop threw a fit and cannot work with it.
They are now trying to export the database to Microsoft Access and send me that, but I won't get that until next week now. However is there a better and easier solution for those of us with insufficient experience of this, please?

Is there any easy option you can see to operate the transfer, since the backups I have from the DB already contain the data corruption?
Thanks a lot for any hint you could provide, -- Julien
From everything I'm reading, I shouldn't be getting this error in 2005: Too many backup devices specified for backup or restore; only 64 are allowed. RESTORE HEADERONLY is terminating abnormally. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 3205) I have both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 (Express) on same dev box, have loaded SP 4 for 2000, I'm trying to restore this in 2005. Why am I still getting this error? Help is appreciated greatly. Thanks. Sheryl

Hi All I have a problem in transferring a 2005 backed up database to SQL Server 2000 SP3. i got an error message, crux of it is "too many backup devices specified only 64 allowed"

Now get a message,crux of it is "current version of Database in 611 and destination version is 536"
Is there a solution???? should i download any other patches or Should i tweak the SQL 2005 backup process??? ASAP Plz
Does anyone know if this works to where the data is viewable/usable?
I have an application that takes datasets out of the SQL database. We decommisioned our old SQL 2000 SP4 machine and brought in a SQL 2005 Server. What we did was backed up the old database and then restored it on the new Server.
Now the application does not see the old datasets but will collect new ones that are viewable. We can import older datasets but we have nearly 27 GB of data, which our DBA can see the old tables in Enterprise Manager but our applciation can't see it.
I'm thinking it might be a schema issue or the way that 2005 translate the odler 2000 SP4 database. Does anyone know, or have they run a back up on a older 2000 Server and then restored it to a 2005?
While ago my SBS 2003 which had SQL 2000 crashed so I had to rebuild everything and this time I used SBS 2003 R2. My SQL 2000 databases were backed up under Veritas 10 and now I'm trying to restore them under SQL 2005. Is this possible?

I have a SQL 2000 DB. Current tables in sql 2000 DB are in single file. I am planningto migrate the DB to sql 2005. I am going to partition the tables in sql 2005 and have multiple files. What is the best way to do this? Would backup/restore work? If I restore onto sql 2005 from sql 2000 backup, will the tables spread over different files automatically or not? Any ideas will be appreciated...
SQL Server 2005 TR with IU/QUS - Restore from a backup
Im trying to set-up the above using sp1. It all works fine until the final step, creating a subscription through sp_addarticle and Im getting the following error:
Msg 8152, Level 16, State 10, Procedure sp_MSget_synctran_commands, Line 198 String or binary data would be truncated.
This worked fine on my laptop with a small table with a couple of columns.Now Ive looked at this error and its like
select * from #art_commands
The table only has 49 columns in it, so its not huge.
What are my options for solving/getting around this problem:
1. Try and fix sp_MSget_synctran_commands, from memory, #art_commands has a nvarchar(max) column and Im wondering if this is related. must admit, havent really looked solidly at this sp yet.
2. SP2 doesnt look like it fixes this problem.
3. Create a bespoke method to replicate.
4. anymore for anymore?
It will be impossible to synchronize the databases so this restore from backup was my only option. Im a bit stuck now, can anyone help?
