Help With Data Migration 2000 To 2005
Mar 7, 2008
Hi all. I'll say from the get go that I'm no SQL guru. I'm primarily a web dev who has been given the data jobs kind of by default so I'm definitely no DBA.
Anyway, having established my noobness, I have encountered an issue. The employer recently decided to upgrade our databases from 2000 to 2005 and I have been tasked to migrate the data from old to new. I have discovered the Import/Export Wizard and got it to move all the data in a dev database we use...but there was one problem. It seems that the tables in 2000 that had columns designated as identity columns do not have the identity attribute when they arrive in 2005.
I haven't figured a way to alter them to give them that attribute once they're in 2005 so I'm wondering if there's something I can do/change in the import process that would retain the identity property of the columns if I were to re-import them.
This is my first migration attempt so dumping it and starting over is no great loss...but any help would be most appreciated.

I am trying to import data from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005
The Data schemas are the same in both (tables, relationships, key and triggers).
Using the wizard I am trying to import data from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. The issue I face is to manage the Idenity columns. I do not want the identity values from the SQL 2000 DB which may be at say 5000, instead I want to use the identity values from the SQL 2005 database which will problably start at 1
Is there a way to do this, should I use a custom query instead of a direct table dump. If using a custom query do I need to just specify a Select query or does it have to be a specific "INSERT INTO Table ..." type query
If I do import the data directly with Identity "ON" how can I advance the identity column value to current +1 on the SQL 2005 table.
Thanks

I have to migrate our existing SQL Server 2000 (standard edition) running on Windows 2000 server (32 bit) to a new windows 2003 server (64 bit) (SQL 2005 standard edition). I am thinking of doing this migratin after hours (or may be on weekend so a
I have planned the following steps (in order).
1. Install SQL Server 2005 on new server.(windows authenticatin and a SQL server will be running on a separate domain account)
2. Download SQL server upgrade advisor on current SQL Server 2000 (windows 2000) and run a report.
3. Back up (Full) SQL Server 2000
4. Script logins and schedule tasks on SQL 2000
5. Restore database on SQL 2005
6. Create jobs by runing Jobs scripit on SQL 2005
7. Create users and passwords by running the exported script file.
Please refer to:
How to transfer logins and passwords between instances of SQL Server
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/246133/en-us
I am aware that I might face issues of
db compatibility level, statistics out of date so I need to update statistics and may be redindex all my tables
PLEASE LET ME Know if I am missing something obvious? Not sure about our existing DTS packages? Any information. Right now I am just thiking of running all my existing 2000 DTS in 2005 as legacy
Note: Rob, Tara, Michael Valentine Jones, Mladen or Nigel , if you cam provide some input from your wealth of experience on this matter. I would sincerely appreciate it.

Hi all,
i was just thrown into SQL stuff at my job. For now I need to complete a migration, but soon i'm being sent to training to make sure that I can do this easier later. Heres my question
I backed up the database, then restored it to the new server. That worked fine. I couldn't log in...so i did some searching and found out about the sp_change_users_login command, I got my login fixed and I can log in. Now, I have about 1000 other users to change and I don't want to do those manually. Noone is using this database, so if needed, I could back it up and restore it differnetly if needed or If someone can give me a .sql file to run to fix all usernames and tell me how to run a .sql (i'm that new to it) that would be REALLY appreciated. Anyway, thanks in advance, looking forward to SQL administration.

OK so I'm just the Network Admin here, but our DBA's are off doing other stuff. So I thought I may inquire here about how the easiest way to migrate from SQL Server 2000 to 2005? The first server I'd like to migrate is just databases with a few users, no DTS packages or anything like that... The only problem is that there are several hundred db's, so moving them one at a time is not an option. Has anyone here had successful experience with doing this? Thanks in advance for your help!

I have a fairly large web application that was built with SQL Server 2000 and .NET 1.1. We're planning on moving to .NET 2.0 eventually, but there's a lot of work to be done before that happens. In the short term, we're looking to purchase a new database server and would like to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 at the same time. Is it as simple as recreating our databases on this new system and changing the connection string, or are there other gotchas? As far as what we're doing with SQL Server 2000, it's really nothing more than tables, views, and stored procedures. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi all,
We migrated our database from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. But we faced some problems, according to the requirements of our project we dont want to apply some constraints on some fields of some tables. But when we run the database script of our old database on SQL 2005, it applied many constraints which causing some serious problems in our project. There are about 100+ tables in our database and some one told me that we have to false every constraint manually. Now, my question is that is there any solution of our this problem.
Best Regards

Hi. Wondered if I might get a bit of advice on a minor collation problem I've experienced after migrating a database form SQL Server 2000 to 2005?
Users reported an error appearing in pages in a web-based application and I traced the problem to a stored procedure that was using a temporary table. I retained the original collation - SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS - after migration and the error showing up was 'Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and "Latin1_General_CI_AS" in the equal to operation.' This makes sense as I guess temporary tables are assuming tempdb's collation. Resolution in this case was fairly simple, which was to apply an explicit collation to one of the columns in the temporary table (it only had three columns, only one requiring the collation). However the longer-term question is should I: (a) resolve similar issues in the same way as and when they arise; (b) change the collation of the migrated database to that of the default for system and new databases under 2005 - i.e. Latin1_General_CI_AS; or (b) change the collation of tempdb and the other system databases to match that of the migrated databases (sounds risky)?
I would probably go for (a) or perhaps (b) but could use some expert advise on the matter.
Regards,
YaHozna.

Hi.
I had an SQL 2000 database with Turkish collation. (Note: Default database collation was Latin)
Today i transfered data from that to SQL 2005 with Latin collation.
There is no problem with old data. I transfered them correctly. But when i insert/update at new database, Turkish characters change to Latin. (Like i->i, g->g)
When i put an N before the value, it works.
For example INSERT INTO T1 (A) VALUES (N'A')
Must i put N to all of them? I think not. What can be the solution?

I've downloaded the migration tool to convert an Access 2000 DB to a SQL DB. The VB code utilizes DAO (3.6) for hourly automatic compaction and the creation of an encrypted security database. ADO is used for the data maintenance functions. I expect the current connection methodology of ODBC using Jet 4.0 will need to be modified (many articles here address this). All the SQL code is inline and also must be modified. The Coldfusion code utilizes Micrsoft Access with Unicode via an ODBC connection with only SQL Select statements. At another job, I migrated an Informix 7 database to MS SQL 7 and for the most part the SQL code remained the same except for the wildcard spec from * to %.
I'm looking for insights and/or shortcuts on this effort, primarily in the SQL command mods area. I'm perusing the threads here as we speak, but hoped someone knew of a specific thread I could go to....laziness is alive and well for us chronologically gifted people, i.e. over 55.
Any help or links are greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Recently our database has been migrated from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 on a new server(machine) with windows 2003(previously windows 2000). If the database is retained on the same machine but with a named instance of 2005, the application(websphere 5.1) is behaving normal whereas if i configure the aplication to the new server it is running slow for some of the queries but not all.
This change will have to be implemented in production very soon. Any advise will be of great benefit
Thanks

The Environment:
I have an old Windows 2000 BackOffice server (Retail but with no media) that hosts a small database (<50mb) that is hosted on the local SQL Server 2000 installation. The network has 8 PCs that connect to the database via ODBC connections. I just purchased a new server running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition (OEM).
What I€™m Trying to Accomplish:
I want to decommission the old 2000 BackOffice server and move the database to the new 2003 Standard server. I€™m trying to do this on the cheap, so I really want to avoid spending thousands on a new SQL server license.
Things I€™m Considering:
1) Migrating the database from SQL 2000 Standard to SQL 2005 Express
2) Moving the database from SQL 2000 Standard to MS Access
3) Purchasing SQL Server 2005 licenses and upgrading
4) Purchasing SQL 2000 Server licenses
The options are pretty much listed in my order of preference. I€™d like to move from SQL 2000 Server to SQL 2005 Express, but I haven€™t really found a lot of material on the subject since people customarily go the other way.
Any advice or alternative recommendations would be much appreciated!

Hi all,
I am wondering if anyone has similar experience.
I did the migration by detaching the database from SQL 2000 running on W2K Pro and attaching it to SQL 2005 running on XP Pro. Some queries with simple aggregate functions such as AVG() have been slowed by at least an order of magnitude. I understand that SQL server can intelligently adapt to improve the performance. I am not sure how much it can improve at this point of time.

Hi,
I have been asked to look at optimising a Data Migration Strategy for one of our clients. I am quite new to Data Migration (I'm actually a system designer!).
The migration is from a legacy Oracle 7.16 Db to a SQL Server 2000 environment.
The legacy Db has some large tables - 30 Million+ rows
Table/column Mapping is 1:1
At present we are using DTS to import into the SQL environment.
My question is: Is there any way to leverage the Oracle 7.16 export to speed up the migration process?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Mike

Greetings,
I am using SQL Server 2005 and I want a clue if there is some good built-in support to do the following.
I want to transfer all the data from one source database to another destination database having same number to tables and schema like source database. I also want to ensure that the old data on the destination database should be secure too.
I have an idea that this can be done through SSIS in coding but can anyone give me a guide, tip, link, sample code that can be helpful.
Thanx a million in advance.

Hi ,
I have a requirement to migrate the data from an existing MS Access database to a newly designed SQL Express 2005 database . Need less to say the table structures in both are totally different.I would like to know how can i handle a scenerio where i want to map table A in access to table B in SQL express (the schema of both different and the number of columns can vary too) , how do i migrate the data from table A in Access to Table B in SQL express using SSMA?
Also i would appreciate if some one can tell me is SSMA the right tool for this , or should i use the upsizing wizard of MS Access. The constraint here is that the data needs to be migrated to a completely new schema. I just need to migrate data only and no other objects.
Thanks
