I'm needing to move a database from SQL 7 to SQL 2000. What is the
best way to accomplish this and keep all tables, data, permissions, etc
in place throughout the move.
Should I use BCP, Replication or something else?
Thanks for any help.
guys,I have a project need to move more than 100,000 records from onedatabase table to another database table every week. Currently, usersinput date range from web UI, my store procedure will take those dateranges to INSERT records to a table in another database, then deletethe records, but it will take really long time to finish this action(up to 1 or 2 hours).My question is if there is some other way I should do to speed up theaction, I am thinking about use bcp to copy those records to datafileand then use bcp to insert it into SQL Server table. Is this the rightway to do it or should I consider other solution (then, what is thesolution.)Thanks a lot!

I have a access database. In this database there are 10 tables and this tables are related to each other.
I want to move these tables to another database according to a field in XYZ table (vertical fragmentation).
for example there is name coloumn in the XYZ table and I want to take only joe lines and other tables related to that from database A and move it to database B
how can I do this?
thanks..
I’m working with an msde database on my local machine, but need to take that database and move it to my remote host. This is problematic because I can not just do a back up and restore.
I was wondering if there were any asp.net applications that would generate lots of sql statements to reproduce the database on my remote host.
I had built a program to back up all the tables in that way, but, forgot that the membership stuff uses stored procedures, and I don't not know how to modify my program in order to back those up too.
Any help will be much appreciated, thank you very much for reading my post
Hello,
What is the easiest way to move a database from one server to another with the all table structures, view and stored procedures?
Thanks,
Using sp_detach and sp_attach we can move different databases to different locations.
how do we do the same for system databases such as master,model,msdb and tempdb.
As off i know we got to be in master database to runthis command, if not this how do we go about this.
Thanks,

If you want to move all the databases to new server. Stop the SQL server service on existing server. Copy mdf and ldf files of all databases to same location iin new server. Also take the backup of master and msdb database from existing server. Then restore master and msdb on new server.

My question is how to move my database to a DIFFEREN LOCATION on a different server. My two servers are different file layout (not my choice though.)
Thanks a lot in advance.

P.S. Should I use the DTS at all to perform this task?
Hi:
I need your suggestion or experience about how to move a database from SQL 6.5 to SQL 7.0. The server where SQL 6.5 resides locates in different network than SQL 7.0. DTS does not work for the database move because of two server can not talk directly.
We need to do this task very soon in production environment. I tried to backup database to a disk (backup device in SQL 6.5) but I failed to restore it in SQL 7.0 because the backup file was not detected by restore utility in SQL 7.0.
Please tell me what I should do. Besides BCP, are there any other methods to move the database from SQL 6.5 to SQL 7.0 in diffferent networks.
Thank you very much.

i've got to move 37 SQL Server databases over to new server. My manager tells me that i have to conduct some "check totals" to make sure that the databases contained exactly the same data from what it was when it got moved.
Is there some stored_procedure to do this ? to make sure that all the stored procedures, views, tables got move across ?
Hi,
I'm new to SQL Server. How do I port the modifications of my table structures, store procedures, functions on the staging server to the procduction server without affect the data?
Can I make this modification to production database while user are still accessing the database or I have to bring down the database to make these changes?
Thanks in advance,

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to move the data directory of SQLServerfrom the application server where SQL runs to another system (the file andprint server) in the network?regards Joop
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a web project in VS.NET 2005 on my development computer that uses an ASP.NET database (ASPNETDB.MDF) to manage user roles. Now I would like to move that database to a test computer with IIS. After copying the web project and database I am able to read from it but when I try to update I get the following error:
Failed to update database "C:INETPUBWWWROOTMyWebAppAPP_DATAASPNETDB.MDF" because the database is read-only.
I think this is because the user 'Network Service' that IIS uses does not have access to the database. So how do I give 'Network Service' access to the database using SQL commands?
I'm trying to move a database created on SQL Server 2005 Express Edition to the SQL 2000 Server (that's the version the company uses). I understand that this is done by making a script that, when executed, creates an exact copy of the database structure on the target server as well as copying the stored procedures.
After that I somehow need to export the data from SQL Server 2005 Express to SQL Server 2000. How can I do that. There's no export function in Management Studio Express.
I am using VWD 2005 Express, with SQL 2005 Express. My web hosting company supports ASP 2.0 and SQL Server 2005, but have put SQL on a database server, which is separate from the application server. I successfully published a "Hello world" test application, but my database application failed after displaying the logon page, presumably when it first tried to connect to the database.
VWD has created my database within the application folder (appApp_DataASPNETDB.MDF) and created the configuration string in web.config: -
<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|ASPNETDB.MDF;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
This all works fine on my local development server, but naturally fails when the application is copied to the web host, and the database can no longer be run from an application sub-folder. With SQL 2000 the problem would have been simple to fix. I would have created a database in the host DB server. I would then have backed up the development database, and restored it into the target database. I would then have changed the connect string, and all would have been OK.
How do I get the development database into the target database with SQL 2005 express? I can't use backup/restore, since there is no backup within VWD 2005 Express, and although there is a backup within Management Studio Express (MSE) I would need to get the database into MSE first. I tried opening the MDF file, but MSE wouldn't recognise this. I can't find any way of exporting the database - the equivalent of SQL 2000's DTS is not available within MSE!!!!!!!!! I tried installing an eval. version of the full Management Studio, but the install failed because "there is no upgrade path".
Once all that's sorted (if it can be sorted - I may have to go back to SQL 2000), where can I find out what to write in the configuration string?
Thank you, Robert Barnes
I need to move two databases from my old PC to my new one. Both machines are running Sql Server 2005 Express. I have tried a backup on old, copy the files to the new but I can't get restore to work. I type in the name of the new database to be created when the restore is complete and then select "From Device" and point to the backup file. I have tried both backup of entire database and backup of files. The error says: "Operating system error. System cannot find the path specified" Well, it found the path and backup file in the previous step when I pointed it to the backup media.
I have also tried the "Copy database wizard". However, Express does not come with "Agent" and the two machines can't see each other without Agent even though I have configured Express to allow remote access.
Any other ideas?
HiAs i have read, there have been discussions before how to move a local MDF databas to MSsql server at a webhost.But i cant figure it out, i know the answere is out there but i cant find it.I have downloaded the Host Deployment tool that generates a .sql file from my database, it looks ok.The problem is that my host dont allow me to execute this. I have also tried to run a file called RunSql.aspx that should help me execute my .sql file.But i recieve errors
Opening url http://mydomainz1.com/mydbfile.mdf.sqlAn error occured: System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found. at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() at ASP.runsql_aspx.__Render__control1(HtmlTextWriter __w, Control parameterContainer) in d:hsadminaccoundidmydomainz1.comRunSQL.aspx:line 58The line 58 is empty
Is there anyway that a mdf file that i have build in VWD 2005 can work as a standalone database?I would like it to be as a .mdb database that is simple to move and so on.
Or do the mdf database have to have a MSsql Express or a MSsql Server?
Grateful for help!

I have an existing SQL 7 database with data and stored procedures. I would like to move it to another NT box that is more powerful...
What's the best method of migrating all the data and sp's from my existing server to a new one?
I'm looking forward to learning about SQL 7.
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
We have to move two of our servers in US hosting SQL Server 2000 database to different location. These servers are clustered using MSCS and uses SAN to store database data. The database on this cluster hosts publisher and distributor. The other two sites in Europe host updateable subscribers. We are using transactional replication. The downtime will be around 24 hours during which servers will be physically moved from one location to other. During this time we will keep the two subscribers running and let the changes queued on subscribers. I have listed following steps based on my limited knowledge of SQL Server. Could somebody please advise if this approach is valid and if I have missed any steps?
1. Make sure no users are accessing database
2. Backup database (In case of emergency need)
3. Stop snapshot, Log Reader, Queue Reader and Distributor Agents
4. Stop SQL Server Service and SQL Agent
5. Take OS backup
5. Shutdown the server
6. Ship the servers and OS backup to new location
7. Setup servers at new location and restore OS backup
8. Start SQL Server Service and SQL Agent
9. Start agents listed in step 3

I got Server A with 30 Databases and I was asked to move 30 databases to Server B…
But server A is having 2 databases as Publication and Distribution to two different servers….. and Server A is a subscription for 6 Databases from other servers….
Once I move the databases from Server A to Server B…… what is the best way to get the Replications too…. I mean Server B should have 2 Db’s as Pub & Distr and 6 Db’s as Subscription…
Is there any way I can script it out in Server A and run the same script in Server B with some modification…. so that the Replication work…..??
I have Jobs and Maintenance plans…. Which should also move from Server A to Server B…. I know using DTS...... is there any better way..??
Please some one give me ur suggestion on this…
Thanks

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a system configured with Windows 2000 and SQL Server 2000Clustering (active/passive). Both SQL Servers have a local E: drivewith the same directory structure.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two databases DB_1 and DB_2 on my server. Both of them have 25 identical tables.
Tables under DB_2 gets refreshed with new data daily and once it's ready with new data, those data should be copied to DB_1 tables (deleting any existing data and loading it with new data).
My question is there any other way other than using Import Data Wizard for moving the data between two databases which included deleting any existing data on DB_1 tables and loadit with new data.
Please let me know...Thanx in advance...

Hi,
I am relatively new to this stuff.
I am using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express (9.00.1399.00)
Can someone tell me the way to get a table and its content to another database (I use two at webhosts4life)
Or perhaps a way to export the data of a table so I can do it at a later stage.
Is that at all possible with this program or do I have to use the non-express version?
Thanks in advance,
Lex
