Database Migration Plan - (mssql/msde To -&> Pgsql/mssql)
Feb 10, 2008
Hi,
i was planning to create a database migration tool ..
its a certain database of a DMS (document management system) to
another DMS (two different DMS)... from DMS using msde 2000 server .. and tranfer to a DMS using a postgre sql or mssql .. depends ..
they have different table structures and names . . :D
i was thing of what language shall i use.. or what language is the best to work on this kind of project :)
I've been tasked to move our production databases on MSSQL 2000 to 2005. I've supported MSSQL since version 6.5 and performed migrations to successor versions.
Current Environment is MSSQL 2000 32-bit with current Service Packs.
I've performed mock migrations on Test servers upgrading all Production instances simultaneously from MSSQL 2000 to 2005 32-bit. The Test environment is identical to Production minus server name, IP etc. Also I have a separate server with MSSQL 2005 installed where I use the DETACH / ATTACH and BACKUP / RESTORE method for migration / acceptance testing. There are approximately 30 databases totaling 70 GB. This has gone as expected and fairly successful. Vendors have been coordinated with to update code and staff for acceptance testing.
I'd prefer going directly to MSSQL 2005 64-bit instead if possible due to memory benefits etc. This is where I'd like some feedback prior to borrowing a 64-bit server for testing.
Upgrade options:
1. Is it better to migrate from MSSQL 2000 32-bit to 2005 64-bit via: a. DETACH / ATTACH b. BACKUP / RESTORE c. Is one method more advantageous relating to the end result? 2. Regarding XP clients, have issues been experienced with the default SQL Server driver or is an alternate recommended for XP clients to connect to a MSSQL 64-bit server databases? 3. If you have performed this migration and have relevant experience please pass them along.
Hello there..... im currently running a mysql database and i want to switch to a mssql database structure... creating the database is not a issue, but inserting values is a problem...
my forum has a lot of data and moving one row at a time is near insanity....
I am doing my final semester project. It is a migration tool that converts the DB2 PL dialect into MSSQL Server's T-SQL dialect. I am in need of sample DB2 PL files(procedures, UDFs, triggers) for testing the tool. Please point out me to some DB2 files repository links or if you have some files, please give me the same. I will use this only for testing purposes.
Here i had a task to migrate sybase 8.0 database to mssqlserver 2005 .how can i migrate this using INTEGRATED SERVICES (SSIS) or any other options. .Please try to provide some basical info because i am new to sybase versions.
I am facing a problem with MSSQL 2005 maintenance plan. I created a plan which takes full backup of all the db€™s and in the same plan I added a clean up task which is suppose to clean all the files older that 1 day.
To gain compression I converted this plan to lite speed. Now the problem is Backups are running fine but the clean task is not cleaning old files. The job runs fine without fail.
Any body who has faced similar problem please let me know if have the solution ?
I need to work with MSDE on a new laptop ive been given. Apparently msde is already installed. I have a service running named "MSSQL$MICROSOFTSMLBIZ" - how do i configure it, or should I just download a later copy of msde and setup a new copy ? I know I know...use sql express. However, I need to work with msde in this case to make it easier (on me) for moving the data into a sql 2000 database.
Hi All,I have question and that is-- if i have a database that is implementedin MSDE Now i want the same database in MSSQL. What are the steps i doneed to follow for this.Thanks in AdvanceHoque
I have recently upgrade from MS SQL 2000 to MS SQL 2005. The maintenance plan disappeared. Although the jobs are still around and running. What issues might arise from this? Thanks..
How many result-rows does mssql return should be used asynchronous method to use mssql cursor, can get the best performance in any time in any result offset?
i want to make the cursor fast in any time whatever how many results returned
Does enabling/disabling Data Execution Prevention have a performanceimpact on SQL 2000 or SQL 2005?For SQL best performance - how should I configure for:Processor Scheduling:Programs or Background servicesMemory Usage:Programs or System Cache
I am a bit new to the MSSQL server. In our application, we use so many SQL queries. To imporve the performance, we used the Database enigine Tuning tool to create the indexes. The older version of the application supports MSSQL 2000 also. To re-create these new indexes, I have an issue in running these "CREATE INDEX" commands as the statements generated for index creation are done in MSSQL 2005. The statements include "INCLUDES" keyword which is supported in MSSQL 2005 but not in MSSQL 2000.
Ex:-
CREATE INDEX IND_001_PPM_PA ON PPM_PROCESS_ACTIVITY
I have clients that have the MSDE version installed and we need to upgrade there program to the MSSQL 2005. Is there an easy way to convert the data? Should or Could I uninstall MSDE and than install MSSQL2005 WorkGrp? Will there data be affected? Any tips would be appreciated.Thanks!
I am currently work on mssql 6.5. On my workstation, I have mssql 6.5 cient software.
However, I would like to install mssql 7.0 server on my nt workstation and work with it to become familiar with 7.0. Can I install mssql 7.0 server on my nt workstation? Can mssql 6.5 client coexist with mssql 7.0 on the same machine if they are in different directories?
Ben writes "I have a sql script that doesn't function very well when it's executed on a SQL 2000 server.
The scrpt looks like this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- USE [master] GO IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM master.dbo.syslogins WHERE loginname = N'SSDBUSERNAME') EXEC sp_addlogin N'SSDBUSERNAME', N'SSDBPASSWORD' GO GRANT ADMINISTER BULK OPERATIONS TO [SSDBUSERNAME] GO GRANT AUTHENTICATE SERVER TO [SSDBUSERNAME] GO GRANT CONNECT SQL TO [SSDBUSERNAME] GO GRANT CONTROL SERVER TO [SSDBUSERNAME] GO GRANT CREATE ANY DATABASE TO [SSDBUSERNAME] GO USE [master] GO If EXISTS (Select * FROM master.dbo.syslogins WHERE loginname = N'SSDBUSERNAME') ALTER LOGIN [SSDBUSERNAME] WITH PASSWORD=N'SSDBPASSWORD' GO GRANT ADMINISTER BULK OPERATIONS TO [SSDBUSERNAME] GO GRANT AUTHENTICATE SERVER TO [SSDBUSERNAME] GO GRANT CONNECT SQL TO [SSDBUSERNAME] GO GRANT CONTROL SERVER TO [SSDBUSERNAME] GO GRANT CREATE ANY DATABASE TO [SSDBUSERNAME] GO USE [master] GO IF EXISTS (select * from dbo.sysdatabases where name = 'ISIZ') DROP DATABASE [ISIZ] GO USE [SurveyData] GO exec sp_adduser 'SSDBUSERNAME' GRANT INSERT, UPDATE, SELECT, DELETE TO SSDBUSERNAME GO USE [SurveyManagement] GO exec sp_adduser 'SSDBUSERNAME' GRANT INSERT, UPDATE, SELECT, DELETE TO SSDBUSERNAME ---------------------------------------------------------------
I need to be converted to a script that can be executed on both MSSQL 2000 and MSSQL 2005.
I was wondering if somebody there could help me with this problem?!
DB is developed on local computer with MSSQL 2005 Express. My host is on MSSQL 2005 workgroup. Are they compatible, because I am getting errors? Is my approach wrong?
I have tried several approaches.
A) I created a backup of database on my local, then placed a copy on the server. Then I tried to restore through Server Management Studio. I get this error.

B: I also have tried copying the database. I put it in the same path as the other databases that can be read with server management studio on the server. Then, tried to get to it through server managements studio and it did not appear. So I tried to attach it. Then I received this error:

C: I have also tried opening the Database, and back up file through Server Management Studio. without success.
D: I also tried Windows and Software update at microsoft update, but no updates were recommended for Version on Server.
I'm surprised this is so hard. My original data base was created in same family of software. 2005 MS SQL Express. I could use some direct help from someone experienced with this. Am I doing it wrong or are the DB versions incompatible.
The Folowing code is not working anymore. (500 error)
Set objRS = strSQL1.Execute strSQL1 = "SELECT * FROM BannerRotor where BannerID=" & cstr(BannerID) objRS.Open strSQL1, objConn , 2 , 3 , adCmdText If not (objRS.BOF and objRS.EOF) Then objRS.Fields("Exposures").Value =objRS.Fields("Exposures").Value + 1 objRS.update End If objRS.Close
The .execute Method works fine
strSQL1 = "UPDATE BannerRotor SET Exposures=Exposures+1 WHERE BannerID=" & cstr(BannerID) objConn.Execute strSQL1
I am very new to asp.net. I really mainly use PHP but want to migrate to asp.net, but it doesn't seem that easy.I am creating a page for peson to pay a subscription page where they will enter personal information an credit card information.I created the form for this with validation controls.I don't know however how to write the form data to the mssql database.I am using mssql 2005, but i would need a work out for the 2000 version as well.
Hello,Is it better to use a DSN connection or using a connection string Set Connection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Which is easier to use and more reliable? Also could I have all the connection info on one page and then just include it with a include statment everytime I need to query the database?? Thank you, Rich
I've come from the asp world into .NET and I have looked all over the web for the proper way to make a database connection to a MSSQL server and all I have found is samples of connections to Access databases. Can anyone point me in the direction of how to create a db connection for microsoft sql server.thanks
We have set up an user acceptance server with a database that is the same as production. However, I have been told that this database and server may be used for applying fixes rather than user acceptance.
To avoid confusion over which database is on which server, it might be a good idea to rename the database. I am not sure if this can be done un der mssql 6.5?
1)Can I rename a database?
2)If so, how can I do so?
Which system tables would I use to update?
Any information you can furnish will be appreciated. THanks.
When using the "Management Studio" how do I create a database? When it starts up, I only seem to have the option of connecting to a database, while not actually creating one :S
David writes "Dear sir, I've installed VS.NET 2005 Professional many times and find that the MS SQL Express 2005 is running. My ambition is to log into this server so that I can convert my MySQL database into it. What is the default; Hostname Port Username Password
What tool is provided so that I might execute my schema to create a database in this server. This 'schema' will obviously have many tables inside. Most SQL products provide some type of utility program where one can create, edit, delete databases and an adminstration program. I see nothing of yours in my Programs -> MS SQL Server 2005 -> SQL Computer Manager. Thank you, David Kennedy"
Hello, another question from a newbie to mssql.Is there a way of allowing access to database only by providing username andpassword (disabling trusted connection and preventing administrator toaccess database through enterprise manager or otherwise without supplyingusername and password)?What I would like is that my application upon instalation creates databasewith appropriate tables (already done this) and somehow solely creates andmanages user list and passwords so that there is no access to database otherthrough application. (Application would create a backdoor account shouldsomething go wrong)

I've made af site in Visual Web Developer. On that site i've made a database and it worked finde when I first uploaded it to my FTP as a database file on the server. But due to security problems, my web hotel host has deactivated that possibility. SÃ¥ now I have to put my data and tables into the MSSQL 2005 Database the host uses. Now here's the problem.
1: How do I do that?
2: How do I get tha tables I've made i Visual Web Developer over in SQL Server Management Studio Express så that I can upload it?
While attempting to set up sql replication in MSSQL 2005 one of my user databases is now in the systems database folder. I need to move it back to the user databases folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
