Best Way To Migrate SQL Version 7 Databases To 2000

Jul 20, 2005

We are moving all databases from a SQL version 7 server to a version 2000server. Which of the following is the preferred method?1) Detach the DB on the version 7 server, move it to the new server viaWindows Explorer and reattach it there.2) Use SQL Enterprise Mananger with the DTS Export Wizard to "copy objects &data between SQL server databases" from the version 7 server to the 2000server.With the changing of the version, I thought maybe option 2 is best. Thoughts?--Mike CzizekIowa Network Services, Inc.Join Bytes!

Upgrading Replicated Databases To 2000

Jan 17, 2005

I am planning on upgrading one of my SQL 7 servers to SQL 2000. This server is currently and will continue to replicate with a SQL 7 server.

I want to view our current replication jobs & schedules in plan text so I can check when I recreate the replication that I haven't missed anything. Does anyone know if this is possible?

SQL 2005 - Why Do Databases Suddenly Think They Are Replicated?

Nov 10, 2007



Hello All

I hope somebody can help. This is the second time I've seen this issue. The first time I thought it was a one off, but now I'm getting concerned.

I have two clients - one had Merge replication set up on a database that had a log log file that just grew and grew. The database was set to SIMPLE recovery. I could understand the log file growing if it was set up for transactional replication, but it wasn't transactional, just merge. Looking in sys.databasese the log_reuse column was set to REPLICATION.

I ran the sp_repldone stored proc on this database and all was well - I could shrink the log file down to a reasonable size. This server was SQL Server 2005, Service Pack 2.

Now I have yet another client who has a growing transaction log file. Low and behold the log_reuse for the database is set to REPLICATION again. This server has never had any type of replication set up at all!!!! The log file is still growing and DBCC OPENTRAN indicates undistributed transcations. This particular server is SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 1.

Can someone PLEASE shed some light on what's going on here? Is there some kind of bug that I don't know about? Searching Goolgle Groups seems to indicate that other people have had this problem, and they have have to set up replication and run sp_repldone to resolve it, but that's surely uncalled for on a database that has never seen replication?

Thanks

Moving Replicated Databases To A Replacement SQL Server

May 23, 2006

Any advice that can be offered on this subject would be much appreciated.

We are debating whether to backup/restore the replicated databases or simply copy the mdf and ldf files accross and Attach them. The question is whether the replication information is retained for the publshed objects when the files are copied across? Alernatively, must we use backup/restore with KEEP_REPLICATION set for the restore?

We also plan to back up and restore the distribution, publication, master, msdb etc databases as well as rename the SQL Server to have the same name as the original.

Do these things need to happen in any particular order?

Does the timing of the renaming of the SQL Server matter?

At least some of the these operations (restoring the master database and renaming the SQL Server) need to be done in single user mode. Is is best to restore all the system databases in single user mode?

Lastly, is it necsssary (from a SQL Server point of viewpoint) to rename the computer to have the same name as the SQL Server?



Thanks,



Dick Campbell

DB Engine :: Migrate Table Data When Dealing With Constraints

Nov 19, 2015

I need to script out data in several tables (30+) and then reload those tables on a different database.  The "target" database table data will get overwritten each time, not appended to.  Several of these tables have numerous foreign keys and other constraints that must be dealt with.  None of them have more than 100 records or so.  Then I need to keep this script in source control and reference it as part of a post-deployment step with a Visual Studio DB project.

I have redgate, dbghost and visual studio.  Are there any tools will generate the script for me complete with dropping all the constraints, truncating the tables, then re-adding the constraints back?  Or, am I looking at simply scripting the table data out, then modifying the script myself to add in the steps to drop/readd the constraints?  Further, since some of these tables might have relationships, not just to other tables, but to those in question, there will likely be an order in which the tables need to get loaded.

The approach I am thinking will be needed, since ive done this sort of thing before except with SSIS, is to run something like dbghost or the "generate scripts" option in SSMS as a starting point.  From there, change the order around as needed, etc.

Migrate Multiple Access Databases

Jan 21, 2008

I’ve been asked to migrate many Access databases to SQL Server. There are no reports, queries or forms in these databases. There are two different database structures. Each has many copies with different data. For example, 80 people each have a copy of abc.mdb. Each copy has the same tables, but different data. The databases cannot be merged without modifying the structure of the databases and the programs that access them. There are over 100 databases ranging in size from 2 MB to 60 MB.

What’s the best approach to do this? I don’t want to manually run each through the upsize wizard.

Should I use a local SQL Server Express or a central SQL Server?

Will there be any benefits to doing this? Will the performance improve?

Personally I’d rather redesign the databases, merge the data and modify the applications that use the data. But it’s not my decision.

How To Reverse Migrate Databases From SQL 2005 Express To SQL 2000

Oct 3, 2007

I've got about 2 months worth of daily databases created in SQL Express 2005 for a pilot project, which the client is converting to a purchase. Unfortunately they're using SQL Server 2000 and I can't figure out how to migrate the databases to the older version. All my searching turns up how to do it in the expected direction.

Any pointers to how or where to search appreciated.

Reporting Services :: How To Get Add-in For SharePoint Version To Sync With SSRS Engine

Oct 23, 2015

I have installed SQL 2012 on my DB Server. The SSRS database version table(s) list the current version as 163. The Version number that's displayed in the Programs and Features for SSRS Add-in for SharePoint (yes, on the db server) is 11.2.5623.0.

On my two SharePoint servers the version number for SSRS Add-in for SharePoint shows 11.2.2058. I have installed SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2 on all three machines. When the SharePoint box calls into SSRS to render a report I get this error:

The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is '163'. The expected version is '162'. --->

Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.InvalidReportServerDatabaseException:

The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is '163'. The expected version is '162'.

what else I need to install - and where - to correct this error. What is expecting version '162' and why?

Managing SQL Express Databases With Standard Version Of SQL Server Management Studio

Mar 28, 2008

I have a windows 2003 server which has SQL 2005 Express with advanced services installed on it. Then a few weeks back the company purchased SQL server Standard Edition which comes with SQL Server Management Studio (which has more features than SQL Server Management Studio Express currently installed on the server where sql express is running)I have been trying to schedule a maintanance plan on the SQLExpress Instance database from the SQL Server Management Studio that came with the standard version of sql but i have not been able to have all SQL Server Management Studio functionality available when connected to the SQLExpress instance. So is there a way i can connect to the Express Instance from management studio(that comes with the standard edition of sql) and have all its functions available when working with a SQL express database. Or i must upgrade the express database?

DB Engine :: Does It Affect Database Integrity Of 2 Databases Have Same Logical Name In Instance

Aug 13, 2015

In our production we have a database by name MyDb.The application team wanted another database by the name MyDbOld which contains the data of Mydb 1 month old. So I created a database MyDbOld in other instance(test) and restored MyDbOld from the one month backup of MyDb in production server. In test instance I backed MyDbOld as MyDbOld.bak...

In the production instance I created a new DB by the name MyDbOld and restored the MyDbOld in the production from the backup of MyDbold.bak in the test instance. Now I have 2 databases in the production instance ie MyDb and 2)MyDbOld. However I find the logical names of both the databases to be the same although the database name and the physical file name to be different.My questions are-:

1) Does it in any manner affect the integrity of the 2 databases if the 2 databases are in the same instance and have the same logical name?
2) Would the dml or data retrieval operations in the 2 databases have any conflict in any manner what so ever?
3) Having a unique database name, and unique file names for the physical files for any database in an instance what is the purpose and significance of additionally having a logical name for a database?
4) Which I could restore a database from the backup of another database in the same instance and at the same time change the logical and physical name of the files to correspond to the new database.

DB Engine :: Re-indexing And Update Stats Of Mixed Compatibility Databases In Server 2008r2

Jun 15, 2015

We have recently migrated quite a databases around 20 from SQL 2000 and 2005 to SQL server 2008R2.

I am using Ola's script for index maintenance for those with compatibility level above 80 as i heard it supports that way.

Hence separated in 2 way job where for those with compatibility level 80, we are running job with below query on each database with 80 as compared

USE ABC
GO
EXEC sp_MSforeachtable @command1="print '?' DBCC DBREINDEX ('?', ' ', 80)"
GO
EXEC sp_updatestats
GO

I am not sure if this is the only way in for those databases, because we are seeing the database getting because of that somewhere using above query.( seems log file filling very rapidly).

But above is not the case with those databases , with compatibility 90 and above.

What Sql Server Version To Buy? Difference In Performance Between The Workgroup And Standard Version

Feb 19, 2008

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

Integration Services :: Package Migration From Version 8 To Version 6 Failed

Sep 22, 2015

I have received the error message "Package migration from version 8 to version 6 failed".I have developed a SSIS package with Visual Studio 2013 which gives me PackageFormatVersion of 8. I then deploy my package to the ssisdb catalog that is running on a SQL Server 2012, this works fine but when I try to execute the package the error arises…due to SQL Server 2012 has a PackageFormatVersion of 6 and it can’t run something that has a greater version.I haven’t seen any good solution for this but one that would work for me would be to upgrade the Integration Services Server from 2012 to 2014, leaving everything else in 2012 (database, ssms, ssas, ssrs).Would this solve the package format problem? Would I then be able to execute my packages in the ssisdb catalog?

After Restoring MASTER Database, Can't Start SQLServer Service: Configuration Block Version 0 Is Not A Valid Version Number

Jul 16, 2007

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?



Any thoughts or suggestions?
