Hi All,
I am new to sql server and the database concepts and just started learning.
I want to copy a database and local package from a old sql server to a new server.
can anybody guide me with the steps? I am very new to this field so if you could give me detailed steps
i would very much appreciate it.
thanks in advance,
I am attempting to use the copy wizard to copy databases from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008 R2 w/ FP1.
The copy fails with a login failure to SQL Server 2005. I have a user id & password under Windows for both servers. I have a user id and password under SQL security with the called for admin security rights.
The 2005 server has two instances, 20 databases, two dozen maintenance plans, and over a hundred users. I really would like to use the utility so I don't have to recreate everything manually.
Is there any way to copy DTS packages from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005?
Thanks,
R/P
What is the best way to copy a bunch of DTS packages to a new server or different server?
thanks for your help
Hi All,
I have a requirement of migrating all databases from one server to another. I need to backup all SQL Server 2005 databases (both SQL and AS) with the exact replica copy. Also I need to migrate all the SSIS packages. Unfortunately I am not a Database/System Admin.
Is there any Script/Tool/Wizard Functionality that would help me doing this? I would be happy, even if you can help me reducing the parts of manual work in anyway you can think of, so please pour you thoughts in.
Thanking in Anticipation,
Jasraja
I am currently moving everything from SQL Server 2005 SP2 to SQL Server 2012. I have a method for getting users, logins, roles and SQL jobs. But I also have to get copy all of the SSIS packages from 2005 to 2012. I know I can go to the 2012 SQL Server and click on the MSDN folder and choose import. However, this only enables me to import one package at a time. I have 95 packages. Is there a way to get them all from the 2005 SQL Server to the 2012 SQL Server in one shot? I am not a SQL developer nor am I a DBA but I have been assigned this task.

I'm looking for a way to copy/migrate all of my SSIS packages from 1 SQL2005 server to another SQL2005 server. I see export/import options but they are for 2000 DTS packages. And it seems like I can only do this one package at a time, which is tedious. Anybody out there who's done all packages at once?
Thanks!
Hi, I am going to copy databases from my office's computer to my home's machine.
What is the best way?

Hi,
Maybe a stupid question, but I'm trying to copy some databases from one
server to another. The copy databases wizard says the job is successful
and I can see that the job has been done on the remote server. But the
copied databases are not there. What do I do?
Hi,
I am preparing to move from sql7 to sql2000 and and considering the copy database wizard to move the databases. The thing that I am concerned with is this passage from BOL
"A database with the identical name on both source and destination servers cannot be moved or copied"
This to me says that the database name cannot be the same on source and destination servers. Yet, you would want the database name to be the same from an application point of view (developers get real nasty when you change database information on them).
Does this mean I cannot use the copy database wizard? Must I use sp_attatch_db?
Thanks in advance
I am trying to copy information from one Database to another. Each of the databases reside on a different server.
My question is
1. How can I use the DSN name in a stored procedure?
2. Do I need to use dynamic SQL?
3. Any other ideas of how to implement this?
Thanks
Could anyone possibly help me out with an issue I am having...
I need to copy all my SQL2005 databases from Server1 to Server2. How can I, using SSIS, copy all the databases and not just 1 specific one (database transfer task)???
My actual task is much deeper than this, but this is the main problem I seem to be encountering and I cannot find this anywhere on the web...
Over and above the what I have mentioned, is there a way to also specify a name of the target DB the copy will go through to?
e.g. Server 1 has 3 instances, each one with a different copy of the same DB.
I would like to copy all 3 copies to Server 2 running 1 SQL instance, but to target DB's like DB_dev, DB_prod and DB_test.
The latter section is not so crucial at the moment, but the first part is really an issues I am struggling with at the moment...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanking You in advance!!!!!
Hello and thanks in advance for help,
I have configured several jobs in the SQL Server Agent which do a copy of databases from a cluster of SQL 2005 to another SQL 2005 server. I did these from the "Copy Dabatase Wizard". When I run these it works fine with "small" databases but with the two bigger ones I get the following error after 10 minutes since execution started:

I need to generate a list of databases, jobs, DTS packages, Linked servers, and users.
Is there a simple script or procedure for this?
Thanks
Hi All,
OK, so I have an SSIS package that I build using the "test" database as the destination. Now I want to execute it using another database as the destination. This is basically for an installation script where the source is always the same, an access database.
So here I have:
"C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90DTSBinnDTExec.exe" /file e:data_import.dtsx /CONNECTION DestinationConnectionOLEDB;""Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=Test2DB;Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;""
Which works (sort of). It does try to import the data into "Test2DB", but what happens is all of the destination tables in the dtsx package have names like [test1db].[dbo].[tablename]
So my question is: is there a way to remove the databasename reference in the table names for all 195 tables in my database without doing it manually?
Thanks in advance.
I need to learn how to move or copy a couple of tables from one database to another. The tables are defined but contain no data.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to find the best way to copy specific tables from one databaseto another when the source and target database names are not always thesame. Can you use variables to specify (or prompt the user) to providesource and target databases? The target database will exist with the thesame tables as the source. The tables to copy will always be the same.Example:UserA wants to copy 10 tables from Data1 to Data2UserB wants to copy 10 tables from Data4 to Data5I'm sure a script can do this in Query Analyzer but is there a more userfriendly method when the user has ony standard SQL tools?Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have a database on sqlserver 2000 which contains some tables which receive Create/Read/Update statements from applications, and +-5 tables which contain a sort of read-only data: the applications are only reading from these tables.
Sometimes these 5 tables need to be updated with new data. Currently I am doing this as follows:
Execute a long-running operation (e.g. 1 week), which will add new data, against a Test-database (which is a restore from a backup of the original database)
Some people do some checks to see if the new data in the Test-database is correct
If (2) is OK, the only thing which needs to be done is copying the data of the 5 tables in testdatabase to the 5 tables of the production-database.For (3), I currently use a DTS-package which consists of a "Copy SQL Server Objects"-task. This task is configured to copy the 5 tables (objects) from testdatabase to productiondatabase. The data in these 5 tables is around 20GB, and this task takes a lot of time compared to a backup/restore of the same size of data. I already tried to speed it up by creating different filegroups and wanted to restore only 1 filegroup but you can read here that making a filegroup backup on a testdatabase and trying to restore it on a production database won't work. Is there some other way to speed this up? Is my current way of working good practice?
Thx!
Copy objects and data between SQL Server databases
"
Display the Select Objects to Transfer dialog box, where you can specify both objects and data to copy, if both the data source and destination are Microsoft® SQL Server™ databases. The objects you can transfer include tables, views, stored procedures, defaults, rules, constraints, user-defined data types, logins, users, roles, and indexes. You can transfer objects only between multiple instances of SQL Server version 7.0, from an instance of SQL Server 7.0 to an instance of SQL Server 2000, and between multiple instances of SQL Server 2000.
"
can I apply "Copy objects and data between SQL Server databases"
to run in two different sqlserver 2000 ( not an instance ) . what I mean is I have two different sql servers located in two different locations( I am not using an instance installation) can I still run the copy and get an identical database in both servers.
Q2. if I have two sql server 2000 with different collations (one is binary and the other is the default) will I be able to run the copy wizard and still have an identical copy of sql server in both servers.
I personally tried to run the copy wizard and IT NEVER WORKED FOR ME and I really do not know the reason.
Thanks for your input.

Two Windows 2003 server,one with SQL 2005 server,another with SQL Express.Is it possible to copy databases from SQL 2005 to SQL Express?Thanks.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI was contacted by the SAN team to test backup/restore of larger databases using a split-mirror backup (BCV) or clone that is taken from production db server and copied to another sql box. They want to use this process once a week. I see the mounted drives with the data/log files. All looks good. Initially I attempted to attach the databases and received (Unable to open the physical file db.mdf Operating System Error 5 Access is denied). I manually granting SQLServerMSSQLUser$<computer_name>$<instance_name> on all of the physical files 20 total. That worked.
Since this will be weekly, the SAN team performed the copy again and now none of the databases can communicate with the newly copied files. NTFS permissions need to be set again. I'm getting (Operating System error 21: the device is not ready). Is there something that I'm missing in this process how the vendor BCV clones the data and SQL communicates with the copied files as I was thinking it would be more automated process?
I am trying to copy/update a table which is in server2 based on a similar table which is in server 1. I can't use replication,
so I am thinking which are the best ways to do without affecting the performance as the source table is busy with inserts or updates. I am thinking of following options:
1. SQL server 2000 DTS packages: As I am trying to copy the data from the source table(server1) into a destination table which is a similar table in server2, if I use dts first I want to take the complete snapshot and then on I only want to copy the new transactions or updated transactions, please let me know how I can do this.
2. Does trigger affect the performance as the server1(source table) is a busy server.
Please let me know. Thanks.
I dont alot about sql server 2005(Express edition). For debugging purposes i want to copy the whole app_data folder(.mdf & .log files) on the production server to another folder on the same machine(or sometimes to a network folder). So when i copy and try to paste this App_data folder to a new location, i get this error message
"cannot copy ASPNETDB: it is being used by another person or program. close any programs that might be using the file and try again."
After reading the above message, i close visual web developer, stop the website in IIS and stop the SQLExpress service on the server and try again but still get the same message.
So how can i make sure that all the programs accessing these database files are closed such that i'm able able to copy them to a different location.
I've run into a problem with SSIS packages wherein tasks that write or copy files, or create or delete directories, quit execution without any hint of an error nor a failure message, when called from an ASP.NET 2.0 application running on any other machine than the one where the package was created from. By all indications it appeared to be an identity/permissions problem.
Our application involves a separate web server and database server. Both have SQL Server 2005 installed, but the application server originally only had Integration services. The packages are file system-deployed on the application server, and are called using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime methods. For all packages that involve file system tasks, the above problem occurs.
When the above packages are run using the command prompt (either DTEXEC or DTEXECUI) the packages execute just fine. This is expected since we are using an administrative account. However when a ShellExecute of the same command is called from ASP.NET, the same problem occurs.
I've tried giving administrative permissions to the ASPNET worker process user to no avail.
I have likewise attempted to use the SQL Server Agent job approach but that approach might not be acceptable for our clients since it means installing SQL Server 2005 Database services on the application server.
I have read the relevant threads in this forum, namely http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1044739&SiteID=1 and http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=927084&SiteID=1 but failed to find any solution appropriate for our set up.
Anybody got any idea on how to go about this?
We manage some SSIS servers, which has only SSIS and SSIS tools installed on them and not the sql server DB.
SSIS packages and configuration files are deployed on a NAS. We run the SSIS packages through DTEXEC by logging in to the server.
We want to allow developers to run their packages on their own on the server, but at the same time we dont want to give them physical access on the server i.e we do not want to add them into RDP users list on server properties. We want them to allow running their packages remotely on the server.
One way We could think of is by using powershell remoting and we are working on that. But is there any other way or any tool already present for the same.
Hi all
Our data management system currently runs DTS packages using DTSPKG.dll.
I am currently looking at the possibliity of replacing the DTS packages and SQL 2000 with DTSX packages using SSIS in SQL 2005.
Do I need a new dll? or will the current dtspkg.dll handle the new DTSX packages?
Many thanks in advance!
Hi,
I set up DB mirror between a primary (SQL1) and a mirror (SQL2); no witness. I have a problem when I issue command:
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';
go
The error message is:
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy of the database log.
I have the steps below prior to the command. (Note that both servers' service accounts use the same domain account. The domain account I login to do db mirror setup is a member of the local admin group.)
1. backup database DBmirrorTest on SQL1
2. backup database log
3. copy db and log backup files to SQL2
4. restore db with norecovery
5. restore log with norecovery
6. create endpoints on both SQL1 and SQL2
CREATE ENDPOINT [Mirroring]
STATE=STARTED
AS TCP (LISTENER_PORT = 5022, LISTENER_IP = ALL)
FOR DATA_MIRRORING (ROLE = PARTNER)
7. enable mirror on mirror server SQL2
:connect SQL2
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL1.mycom.com:5022';
go
8. Enable mirror on primary server SQL1
:connect SQL1
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';
go
This is where I got the error.
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy
Thanks for any help,

Hi!
I did:
alter database mydb set single_user with rollback immediate;
exec sp_detach_db @dbname='mydb', @keepfulltextindexfile='true';
then I tried to copy files to new location on other drives, same server but got
>>Cannot copy <myfile>: Access is denied
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use<<
I also tried rename of file without success.
I also tried with db service stoppet (not preferred) without success.
How to find out, which process locks the files?
Best regards

Dear Readers,Is it possible, like in Access, to link to tables in other SQL databases that are on the same server? I have a query that I originally had in Access that queered from multiply databases. It did this by having those other tables in the other databases linked to the database that had the query.
Hi~,
Before implementing memory based bulk copy insert with IRowsetFastLoad interface of SQL Server 2005 OLE DB provider, I want to know some considerations.
- performance : compared with T-SQL's "BULK INSERT ..." and bcp utility
- SQL Server's resource usage : when running memory based bulk copy, server resource's influence
- server side action(behavior) : when server is busy, delayed-update means IRowsetFastLoad::Commit(true) method can insert right after?
- row-count : The rowcount limitation can be inserted by IRowsetFastLoad::InsertRow() method before IRowsetFastLoad::Commit
- any other guide lines
