I'm trying to export a SQL Server 2005 Express database to SQL Server 2000 sp4, but have so far been unsuccessful. SQL 2005 Express doesn't have an Export Data function and backup/restore doesn't work because of the different versions.
Hi, I"m trying to export a databse from my express 2005 to 2000 and I tried using managment studio and doesn't seem to work. Can anybody give me some tips or links that teach me how to do that? I googled around , so far, havne't found a good solution yet. Thanks
I just used the SSIS Import and Export Wizard to copy 50+ tables from SS05 to SS2K.
I found that the wizard created a package that I could not figure out how to edit, e.g., to change whether or not it had to CREATE a table, or just use an existing one. (I created some problems by manually editing the receiving table names to be ones that already existed -- but the original names it had did not exist, so it knew it had to create them. What I should have done, and eventually ended up doing, was scroll through my list of tables in the "receiving" box; I just figured editing the name would be faster, not realizing what problems I would create for myself.)
Anyhow, now that I see the complex package that the wizard creates, with a LOOP over the 50+ tables, I would like to know how/where in the package it is storing the information about the tables to copy.
Basically the wizard creates the following Control Flow tab entries (in processing sequence order):
an Execute SQL Task: NonTransactableSql an Execute SQL Task: START TRANSACTION a Sequence Container: Transaction Scoping Sequence, which contains an Execute SQL Task: AllowedToFailPrologueSql an Execute SQL Task: PrologueSql a Foreach Loop Container, which contains a Transfer Task with an icon I did not notice in the Toolbox an Execute Package Task: Execute Inner Package an Execute SQL Task: EpilogueSql an "on success" arrow to an Execute SQL Task: COMMIT TRANSACTION an Execute SQL Task: PostTransaction Sql an "on failure" arrow to an Execute SQL Task: ROLLBACK TRANSACTION an Execute SQL Task: CompensatingSql
Where, and how, can I look within this package to see the details about the tables I am transferring? I see that one of the Connection Managers is "TableSchema.XML" -- but it points to a temporary file on my hard drive, that I presume is populated by the package. Where does it get its information?
This is certainly much more complex than the package I would have written, based on my limited knowledge of SSIS. I would have been inclined to create 50+ Data Flow tasks, one for each table.
So now I'm trying to understand why the Wizard created this more-complex package.
Any help will be appreciated, including references to non-Microsoft books/websites/etc.
Hi, I'm new to SQL Server 2005 Express and SQL. I've been using Access for year and have not moved on to asp.net for my website. I understand from 1and1.com that I will need to imort a backup of my SQL Server 2005 Express file to my on site database. I don't find any way to do that. Please advise as to how I get the express version to work on my site. Thanks! Leesha
Where is that neat little "Import/Export" DTS Wizard like I had in SQL Server 200 Developer?Or am I going to have to mess with the script generation features?

Hi Guys, I have had SQL Server Express and Sql Server Management Studio Express installed on my machine for some time and recently tried to install a trial of SQL Server 2005 as well. (Yes, I'm migrating from Visual Studio Express to Visual Studio Professional, just as in tended!) Everything went fine except that nothing seemed to be installed. I searched in all the obvious places - both on the Start/Programs menu and on the hard-drive: nothing. A check under Add/Remove Programs showed that Sql Server 2005 Express was installed, but called SQL Server 2005. So after a number of retries in which the install program kept saying that there was nothing to install, I selected every option under Advanced in the intall process. This resulted in stuff being installed and I now have SQL Server 2005 running on my machine, but no SQL Server Manager icon. My questions are:
Where can I find the SQL Server Manager executeable? Has anyone installed SQL Server Express, SQL Server Mangement Studio Express, SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Management Studio on a single machine successfully? If so, what order did you install them in? (I'm planning on uninstalling everything SXQL Server related and starting again.) Thanks very much for your help. Regards Gary
I want to export data in a table from one database to another database. And I would like it bo be clone of the source table, if it's possible. Is there any tools out there that can help me with this or do I have to write my own code?Is it possible to query the database to get all columns and datatypes for å requested table? If possible, can you give me an example?If I have to write a tool myself I guess I would do something like this: Export - Query the database for columns and datatype for the requested table. Dynamically generate a query to retrieve all rows from the table and save it to an xml file. Import - Turn off the Identity Increment, loop through the xml file and generate insert queries to insert a clone of each row, turn off the Identity Increment. Viola! If programming only could be that simple :-) Regards, Sigurd

I've created a new database and restored the database from a backup. I'm wanting to import raw data from an excel spreadsheet into the tables of the new database.
When I right click on the database, and hover over tasks the import/ export data menu options are not in the menu.The menu items ends at 'Generate Scripts'.
I'm connected on a local instance to a registered server.
As I said in the subject I've a problem trying to restore a backup of a previous db created in sql 2000 server
When I try to do it I recive the following message:

Not sure if this was posted but having a hard time finding an answer. I'm currently running sql server 2000 enterprise edition on my machine and was wondering what would happen if i installed 2005 express edition and vice versa? I've found many blogs and post about compatibility issues with the 2005 Express Beta version but couldn't find any news with full version. It would be much appreciated if someone can help me out with this problem. Thanks!
Our company is planning to upgrade to ESRI's brand new ArcSDE Personal edition and SQL Server Express 2005 platform to do GIS work for our clients. We are not in a position at this time to migrate to the full ArcGIS Server and SQL Server 2005 platform. We currently use a Microsoft Access 2003 relational database, and have no intention to move to Access 2007.
ArcSDE Personal cannot connect to SQL Server 2005, but it is able to connect and work with SQL Server Express 2005.
In SQL Management Studio Express, we were unable to find any feature that would allow us to import and export data to/from SQL Server Express. This is rather unusual, as we need to test how SQL Server Express will handle import and export data. In Microsoft Access we simply right click and choose import or export in the database window. Easy as pie. We ran the upsize wizard in Microsoft Access to migrate our data. But after that, our GIS team was pretty much stuck.
My question is, how does one import/export data to/from SQL Server Express? Do we need to install a missing component? Is scripting required? Or should we wait until we are able to acquire the SQL Server 2005?

After some weeks evaluating tools and platforms for developing an application, I decided to move to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. Everything was fine till last night, when after creating my tables, I needed to populate them. I tried to find the Import and Export Data Wizard that SQL Server 7.0 and 2000 used to have, but great was my surprise when I found - in this forum - a post that said that it's not available in the Express Edition.
I'll have to move back in time (what I hate) to remember the way BCP worked. Can somebody post some examples to not start from zero ? Does anybody know a third party visual tool that can import/export data from text files to a SQL Server DB via ODBC ?
I have a dedicated server running SQL Server 2000 on Windows 2003. Can I install SQL Server 2005 express so that I can run sites developed with VWD Express. I still have the sites that need to use the sql 2000 server. Thanks

I'm creating an app and have SQL Server 2005 Express installed. Most of the hosts now offering SQL Server 2005 are a bit pricey compared to those only offering 2000. Will I have any difficulty uploading my site and running the db on SQL 2000? Thanks in advance.
I have installed Server 2005 Express on a pc running Windows Server 2000 sp4 which I want to use as the server for a network of pcs. However, I am unable to login to SQL Express on this machine from Sql Server Management Studio Express. I am in mixed mode and trying to connect with Server Authentication. I get various error messages none of which seem to point to the problem.
Networked to this pc are several other machines running Xp Professional/Home sp2 and if I install SQL Express on one of these I can log in to SQL Express on that machine without any problem. I can also connect to it via the network from the Win Server 2k machine.
Does anyone know of any issues when installing Server 2005 Express on a pc running Windows Server 2000 sp4.
Should be a quick question:I've got a client with a Sql Server 2000 database. He wants to hook it up to a server that is only running Sql Server Express 2005. Can this work? Thanks!
I have just acquired my first root server (Microsoft Windows Server 2003) to run a lightly used ASP application. I installed SQL Server Express 2005 on the server and the application works just fine. The problem is that I cannot access the SQL database on the server from my local computer that is running SQL Server 2000 Developer.
Please note the following: 1) I can access the server database (2005 Express) from a computer that is running SQL 2005 developer. 2) I can access other servers that are running non-EXPRESS versions of SQL 2005 from my computer (which is running SQL 2000)
Thus my question is: Is there some kind of limitation or required setting in SQL Server Express to allow remote connections from SQL 2000?
Remember - I CAN access the database remotely using SQL 2005, just not SQL 2000.
I am using SQL Query Analyzer to try to access the database from my local computer using the same connection parameters that work on my SQL 2005 computer in Management Studio.
I have an SQL Server 2000 DB that I created on one PC that I would like to move to a PC running SQL Server 2005 Express, is this possible? Will the SQL Server 2000 DB run under SQLS Server 2005 EXPRESS? Thank you for any thoughts,
I'm an engineer in a manufacturing environment. We have a centralized MS SQL Server 2000 running at each location of my company. I'm developing applications that will run on "Test stand" PCs, where product is tested. Current software works solely with csv files for data output and works independently of the network. To limit the reliance on the network, I'd like to setup small workgroups, or cells, of test stand PCs that communicate with a MS SQL Server Express 2005 that is replicated with the facility-side server databases running SQL Server 2000.
Will there be any compatibility issues replicating between these two? Obviously, the SQL Server 2000 will act as the publisher. Note that our IS department will likely not go for 2005 for awhile and I have no input to get them to move to this. It will be a little bit of a dogfight to get their support on the "cell" idea I'm considering. Our faciities in Juarez have frequent internal network issues, so to maintain production, it is very important to be able to continue testing product when the main network is down.
Currently on my development machine i have SQL Express 2005 running.
On the production server, they have SQL 2000. So I need to get one of my databases from this server to the other one. From my understanding you can't export from 2005 to 2000 because of the drastic change.
What is the easiest way for me to do this?
create the tables manually and export the data in CSV and import it that way?
whenever i modified the connection of my current database...I'll always got an error,when asking for "server name"..it says [DBNETLIB...etc]Named Pipes etc error..my current database was SQLEXPRESS and i want to change it as an SQL OLEDB,2000,2005.. but as i said il always got an error..sometimes it says "SQL server does not exit..ODBC" etc...when im entering the "server name"..so i could only used Access or SQLEXPRESS server database.. what should i do with the error?? thanks for helping again..
