I've got about 2 months worth of daily databases created in SQL Express 2005 for a pilot project, which the client is converting to a purchase. Unfortunately they're using SQL Server 2000 and I can't figure out how to migrate the databases to the older version. All my searching turns up how to do it in the expected direction.
Any pointers to how or where to search appreciated.
Thanks,
Wendell
Hi all
I was just wondering on if I have to migrate the systems databases from 2000 ie. Master , Model & MSDB ??
Thanks
We are moving all databases from a SQL version 7 server to a version 2000server. Which of the following is the preferred method?1) Detach the DB on the version 7 server, move it to the new server viaWindows Explorer and reattach it there.2) Use SQL Enterprise Mananger with the DTS Export Wizard to "copy objects &data between SQL server databases" from the version 7 server to the 2000server.With the changing of the version, I thought maybe option 2 is best. Thoughts?--Mike CzizekIowa Network Services, Inc.Join Bytes!

I am planning to migrate sql server 2000 databases to sql server 2005(sql server 2005 in a separate box) .I have few questions regarding the migration:
1. Do I have to run Upgrade wizard on 2000 even though I am not upgrading my sql server?
2.Which other databases do I need to move in addition to the user databases. (i.e. do i have to move any system databases?).
3. What do I need to do to move sql server logins with the password to the new machine?
Thanks.

I've got the responsibility over a small SQL server with 8 Database and approx. 100GByte data online. Most database are used and need to be available 24*7*366. Also a number of local data transformation packages are defined and used on a regular basis. Furthermore a number of third party applications rely on this database.
My question if it is worth the effort to migrate this to 2005? I know there are all kinds of nice migration wizards but do they really work? What if one of the 3rd party apps don't like 2005?
Love to hear both good and bad experiences migrating -> 2005 .
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me here. I'm very new to SQL server and has been asked to convert microsoft access database .MDB to SQL server. In another word, i'd like to migrate access to SQL Server. It's not a huge database. The size of it is roughly 6MB. The reason for migration is simply because our clients don't have microsoft office running on their system. They use SQL Server. This's a new challenge to me as i'm more comfortable with using Access now.
I have been searching and studying it thru the online tutorial about what it's and what it does. I have also downloaded and installed the SQL Server 2005 Express edition because it has GUI Interface and it does have the ability to produce reports like Access does. Now my question is how do i start because when i created the database i didn't think of any client/server application? so if i want to run the Access, i just double click it and start using it. how do i migrate it to SQL Server for a testing sake?
I really need some guidance here please.
Thank you in advance
I am trying to migrate from MySQL 4.1 to MS SQL Express 2005
1. do i need to create an empty db under Express
2. can this be done from within Express by pulling from MySQL into Express or do I need to work from command lines
3. what would be the cleanest way to approach this
I have a MySQL dump and did look at the result from within Express, but it was not an import, I would like to find a way to import if possible that data. Table by table would be fine.
Hi Everybody,

Dear All,
at present all our servers are running with sql server 2000. we are planned to upgrade to sql server 2005 standard edition. what is the approach i need to follow?
can i directly go for installation of sql server 2005, and then use copy database wizard? this is a production environment, and we even not give 5 min of downtime. please help me in this regard

Even you learn 1%, Learn it with 100% confidence.
Initially, the articles I read suggested that doing an "in place" upgrade is the simplest path, with the drawback that if something goes wrong, I'll have to re-install 2000. And that migrating is more difficult since I'll have to recreate all the logins , security, replication ....
Then I saw a series of posts saying migration is the best ... backup & restore (or detach, reattach) the DBs to a new instance of SQL 2005. What about the systems DBs, such as MSDB and the DTS packages ?? Also, If I migrate to a new instance of SQL, how will I re-establish the connections from other servers ? They are replicating or DTS-ing to ServerA, but now SQL2005 is on ServerASQL2005 (Same server, different instance.
In the scale of things, we have fairly simple environments, although our Production database is almost 300 Gig.
If I install a new instance of SQL 2005 on my SQL 2000 server, and migrate everything from 2000 to 2005, I now have 2 instances: ServerA and ServerASQL2005. All my other servers are referencing the original instance name of ServerA. How do I resolve that problem so that communication between the other servers will still work ??

Hi all, in my current environment, I have a single server SQL 2000 setup that's being replaced. I'm in the process of installing a new SQL 2005 cluster with the thought of taking advantage of 2005 mirroring and clustering, but have a few questions.
1. My thinking is that I can migrate my 2000 databases to 2005, but leave the databases in 8.0 (2000) mode. Are there any issues with this? I know they won't take advantage of the 2005 performance boost
2. Some of the apps don't support 2005 yet so I need to leave them in 2000 mode until they do. Is SQL 2005 fully backwards compatible with a SQL 2000 database?
3. Will mirroring work on SQL 2005 with a database that is still in 2000 mode?
Thanks for any assistance with this!
Hi - is it possible to migrate to SQL Server 2005 Express from MSDE - and still use ASP.Net 1.1? Or will Express only work with ASP.Net 2.0?My MSDE database has simple SPs (no functions), and straight forward tables - can I just use DTS from Enterprise Manager to transfer this from MSDE to SQL Express, or create a backup, and import that into SQL Express 2005?Also, there was a sort of Enterprise Manager available for SQL Server 2005 Express at one point - does anyone know where to find that?Thanks for any pointers/help.Mark

i have no idea what i am doing here and could use some help from someone who knows what they are doing.
i have a proliant ml350 g3 server running windows 2003 server with sql express 2005 software.
all the databases are running in compatibility sql 7 mode.
I would like them to be in sql 2005 mode if possible. Is there a way to upgrade the databases in the process?
here's a plan I came up with:
take sql workgroup 2005 edition evaluation, install it on a machine.
Mount all databases on the machine.
Wipe out the sql express 2005 machine, reinstall workgroup edition on the new server.
but here is my question
is there a way to migrate the data from the workgroup edition over to the new server through a DTS copy process, and if so, will it create a new version of the databases with the proper collation or the proper english?
please let me know. if this works, i will be thrilled!

I plan to migrate a SQL 2000 instance with everything in it to another SQL2000 server, and eventually in the future to SQL 2005.
I've pretty much figured out how to migrate everything execept the linked server configuration (there're many linked servers configured in the old server with different security credentials). I'm wondering if there's way I can save the linked server configuration and restore it to the other server.
Thanks much.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have to merge the data from two databases, one is in SQL Server 2005 format, one is in 2000. The merged data will then reside on a SQL Server 2000 platform. Is there an easy way to do this through Management Studio or Enterprise Manager? Or will we have to export the data from the 2005 database to a flat file and import it into a new 2000 database. And then do the merge?
TIA
I just restored my SQL server 2000 database on the SQL server 2005. after this i ran the Service broker sample ("Hello World") on this database by changing the AdventureWorks name to the new database name. The "setup.sql" runs fine. When i run the "SendMessage.sql" i was not getting any rows in the output (The message was not getting inserted into the queue). I checked the Service broker is enabled on this databased using the query "select is_broker_enabled from sys.databases where name = 'newdbname' " It was 1. I even tried the ALTER DATABASE SET ENABLE_BROKER. but it didnt work.
When i tried the sample on a newly created database it worked fine.
Is there any solution to make the restored database to work for service broker.
Thanks

Hi All,
View 1 Replies View RelatedI’ve been asked to migrate many Access databases to SQL Server. There are no reports, queries or forms in these databases. There are two different database structures. Each has many copies with different data. For example, 80 people each have a copy of abc.mdb. Each copy has the same tables, but different data. The databases cannot be merged without modifying the structure of the databases and the programs that access them. There are over 100 databases ranging in size from 2 MB to 60 MB.
What’s the best approach to do this? I don’t want to manually run each through the upsize wizard.
Should I use a local SQL Server Express or a central SQL Server?
Will there be any benefits to doing this? Will the performance improve?
Personally I’d rather redesign the databases, merge the data and modify the applications that use the data. But it’s not my decision.
In my application,I used Sql Server 2000 Database where I used some Stored Procedures,View,Function and Triggers .Now I want to migrate it to Sql Server 2005. Is there any performance issues will come in future as the database is actually from SQL SERVER 2000? Is all these Stored procedures,Views,Function and Triggers will work perfect? If than what steps I have to take to over come them.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to migrate around 15 databases in production server to the new production server. The biggest database is 80 GB .
