I have a SQL Server 2005 DB that contains a version number that is specific to its schema. I have an SSIS package that performs an export/import of user data. I need to be able to compare the DB version number of both the target and the source database before the migrate operation can continue. Does anyone know if there is a Control Flow Task (or some other task) to do such a thing or will I need to write a custom Script Task?
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Is there any way to restore a database of higher version to lower version.
E.g. I have created a database in sql server 2012, created some tables & procedures in that.I took Full backup of that database. Can I restore it to sql 2008r2 or any lower version.
I know direct restore is not possible, I have to use either import or export option or generating script,but i want to know is there any easy step to do so.

I have an ssis package that downloads a SQL Server 2000 database and restores it to a SQL 2005 server. Ninety-five percent of the time it runs just fine, but every so often the job fails and I get the following set of error messages in the log file. (I have had to delete some of the proprietary information for this message to satisfy my boss like putting in [Database name] in place of the actual name of the database in the error message).

Now, I checked and verified that my backup version of SQL Server is the same as the version installed on the computer I'm restoring too.
I have SQL Server on a production machine that I backed up and want to test a full restore on a dev machine to make sure it will work when I need it to.
Now that I've run the restore command on my tape backup and go to restart the SQL server service I receive:
Configuration block version 0 is not a valid version number. SQL Server is exiting. Restore the master database or reinstall.
I'm afraid I don't understand why this is happening. If the builds are the same, then shouldn't restoring the MASTER database have worked normally and I'd be able to restart the service now?
I am trying to use the Import Wizard to setup a daily job to import new records based on an ID field (PK). The source database is remote and a replica. I am inserting new records to update my table called the same thing. Both are SQL Native Client
Code Snippet select * from [CommWireless].[dbo].[iQclerk_SaleInvoicesAndProducts] as S1 join [IQ_REPLICA].[dbo].[iQclerk_SaleInvoicesAndProducts] as S2 on S1.SaleInvoiceID = S2.SaleInvoiceID where S1.SaleInvoiceID > S2.SaleInvoiceID
When I parse the query, I keep getting an error message.
Deferred prepare could not be completed. Statement(s) could not be prepared. Invalid object name 'IQ_REPLICA.dbo.iQ_SaleInvoicesAndProducts'. (Microsoft SQL Native Client)
Anyone know an easy why to get this to work? Or should I add a create table to verify new records?

Language : VB.NET Database : MSSQLserver2000 i have developed a tool to compare two databases, but it is taking long time to compare. First it will take the whole table into main memory(order by primary key). Same procedure for table2 of second database. Then it will start comparison by taking row by row. i tested with one third party tool, which is taking only 2 min to compare 800000 records of a table. My tool is taking 1 hour,40 mins to do that. Is there any other optimized method?
I have one databaseand I create new database by copy everything from first db I then alter some column on new database and now I would like to compare two databaseHow can I do it ?
We're using Sql Server 2000. The one database contained tables and stored procedures which were possibly updated with some script information. Is there an application(commercial or free) or script I can use to compare the base database against this updated database to confirm there schema information is the same.
Here's my scenario. I've got an web site that is going to allow access across two different domains. So I pull out the user name and domain with a split. At that point I want to say If user name = a value in bug_user table then redirect ~default.aspx Else redirect to other page. I'm kind of stuck. Here is what I got so far. Imports System.DataImports System.Data.SqlClientPartial Class MasterPage Inherits System.Web.UI.MasterPage Sub page_load() Dim user As System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal user = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User Dim username As String username = user.Identity.Name Dim namer As String Dim domain As String Dim firstname As String namer = username.Split("")(1) domain = username.Split("")(0) Dim objcon As ConnectionStringSettings = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("bug_trackerConnectionString") Dim str As String = objcon.ConnectionString Dim con As New SqlConnection(str) Dim com As New SqlCommand("", con)?????????????????????????? con.Open() com.commandText = "Select FirstName, LastName, Userid, Domain from bug_user" con.Close()??????????????????????? Between the question marks is where i start to get lost. I don't know how to look into the column Userid in the table bug_user table to see if my variable namer is present and I don't know where I should start my if statement. Thank for your help.
Can anyone recommend any utilities which compare 2 databases and report on the differences? A developer would like to compare the before/after images of a database once an upgrade has been applied.
He has looked at Red Gate ( http://www.red-gate.com/SQL_Data_Compare.htm ) and would like any recommendations about this product or any other.
Let us suppose that I have two similar databases and need to create ansql-script upgrating one database structure to another. For example, thesedatabases are from different versions of some software, first is from earlyversion, next is from current, and second one contains several new tables,sevelal new fields in old tables, several new or changed stored procedures,UDFs and so on.How to solve this problem using standard tools?
Hello, I am writing a website (in vb) to allow for room use reservations and I am looking for a way to compare the selected start and end times which are date-time format to records already in the database for that day/time and specific room. If the selected time does not fall within an already reserved time frame I then want to insert it into the table. I have already written a procedure to do the inserting and that works fine. I just want to validate it before calling the insert. Any ideas? The fields to be validated on the form are textboxes containing date time which populate as read only after the time selection is chosen from dropdown. Thanks in advance It's greatly appreciated.

if we generate a database file on a particular version of ms sql express and in time to come if there are a few more versions of ms sql express out there with the users - if we continue to package with our app a database file from an older version of sql express will that be a problem with users running a newer version of sql express ?
Also what about the converse scenario - where we ship a database file from a newer version of sql while the customer is still running on an older version.
I need to pull dates from a DB2 database via TSQL (Linked server - IBM DB2 for i IBMDASQL OLE DB Provider) and compare it to today for a less than or greater than type comparison.
Database: DB2, Customer information housed here Columns: UTOFMM - Month (2 character, numeric) UTOFDD - Day (2 character, numeric) UTOFYY - Year (2 character, numeric. Problem: years from 2000 to 2009 are stored as 0, 1, 2, ... etc) UTOFCV - Century Value (2 char, numeric. 0 = before 2000, 1 = in or after 2000)
I need to concatenate the date to be "sql" friendly, and then compare to today's date. It's to find any customer with date values in the fields above, and then differentiate between dates before today and after today.Here is the snippet of what I'm trying to fix. This portion of a nightly job is just checking for <u>any</u> value in the UTOFMM column of the current record.
Add Customer ID Update [responder].[Temp_RX_CUSTOMERS] set CustomerID = lf.UTCSID from [responder].[Temp_RX_CUSTOMERS] LEFT Outer Join [HTEDTA].[THOR].[HTEDTA].UT210AP lf ON [responder].[Temp_RX_CUSTOMERS].LocationID = lf.UTLCID where lf.UTOFMM = 0 GO
I'm not a full-time DBA, so excuse my style of expressing my question.I have a database which has 2 tables in SQL 2005. Both these tables have similar column names, EXCEPT for new extra columns in FY2007_DATA. I can visually see the difference in columns in Database Diagrams. My goal is to :- I want to compare FY2007 tbl column names to FY2006 column names and display only those columns as results that do not match.Tbl 1 :- FY2006_DATA Tbl 2:-
FY2007_DATA
With online reading and help I have managed to get this script to do exactly opposite of what i want. Below is the query
/* This query compares the column names from two tables and displays the ones that have an exact match. It does not care for case-sensitiveness */
Select a.Table_Name, a.Column_Name, (b.Table_Name), (b.column_name) From [2006-2011].INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns AS a Join [2006-2011].INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns AS b on a.Column_Name = b.Column_Name Where a.TABLE_NAME = 'FY2006_DATA' And b.TABLE_NAME = 'FY2007_DATA' AND a.Column_Name IN (Select Column_Name = LEFT(c.column_name, 20) FROM [H1B_2006-2011].INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns AS c WHERE c.TABLE_NAME = 'FY2007_DATA' )
When I change "AND a.Column_Name IN.." to "AND a.Column_Name NOT IN.." so that the results will (should) display the extra columns in FY2007, in fact I do not see any results, but query executes perfect.
Since some analysis services features are only available in Enterprise version , I have to upgrade my SQL 2005 server from standard edition to enterpise edition.
So I uninstall originial standard version of analysis service and install a Enterprise version. However, the analysis service is still a standard version after installation.
Is it possible to keep data engine as standard version and install a enterprise version of analysis service?
Is it possible to take a Database from version 8.0 (SQL Server 2000) and convert it to version 7.0? My ISP is running SQL Server 7, and I am developing on SQL Server 2000. I will be using Active Server Pages to make most of my modifications to the database, once it is complete. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance.
How can I tell which version of SQL Server that a .mdf file was created with? I have a file from a customer that I cannot open with SQL Server 2005 and suspect it was created with an earlier version of SQL Server. How can I convert it to SQL Server 2005?
Hello,I have been searching and reading a lots of information on the microsoft website about the different version of SQL server, but still can not make my decision.In term of performance, is there a real big difference between the workgroup and the standard version? The workgroup is limited to 3 GB of RAM while the standard is unlimited, would that really change the performance if my server has 16Gb or RAM?The price difference is pretty substantial so if could only have to buy the workgroup , it would be better.One more question, regarding the type of licence, my server has 2 processors, could I avoid buying 2 licences and get the Server plus CAL instead. I am using this server to host 4 web-application running on SQL server. Each database is about 15 MB.Thanks in adavance for your advises.Arno
I am wondering if it is possible to change from SQL Server Enterprise Evaluation Version to Developer Version. The reason is because the Enterprise Evaluation version expires after 180 days. So if I create reports and cubes in Enterprise Evaluation I can import them into Developer Edition right? Should I remove the Enterprise Evaluation version after 180 days or leave it then install Developer Edition?
