Importing From SQL7 Using DTS Wizard
Jul 20, 2005
We are trying to import data from a sql 7 machine into sql 2000 using
import wizard in DTS. One of the tables has in excess of 80 million
rows.
The first time we did this it worked fine no problems. However we had
to recreate the database, and it has not worked since.
The error message is reported as ' the log file for 'dbname' is full'.
This happens regardless of the fact that there is 100GB free on disk,
and that the database data and log files are both set to autogrow. The
recovery model is set to simple.
When imported the data.mdf file should be around 20GB.
Would anyone know what is causing this or how to get around this
without going down the SQL7 install, restore and upgrade to sql2000
route?
Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Hi All,
I have become frustrated and I am not finding the answers I expect.
Here's the gist, we support both Oracle and SQL for our product and we would like to migrate our Clients who are willing/requesting to go from Oracle to SQL. Seems easy enough.
So, I create a Database in SQL 2005, right click and select "Import Data", Source is Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle and I setup my connection. so far so good.
I create my Destination for SQL Native Client to the Database that I plan on importing into. Still good
Next, I select "Copy data from one or more tables or views". I move on to the next screen and select all of the Objects from a Schema. These are Tables that only relate to our application or in other words, nothing Oracle System wise.
When I get to the end it progresses to about 20% and then throws this error about 300 or so times:
Could not connect source component.
Warning 0x80202066: Source - AM_ALERTS [1]: Cannot retrieve the column code page info from the OLE DB provider. If the component supports the "DefaultCodePage" property, the code page from that property will be used. Change the value of the property if the current string code page values are incorrect. If the component does not support the property, the code page from the component's locale ID will be used.
So, I'm thinking "Alright, we can search on this error and I'm sure there's an easy fix." I do some checking and indeed find out that there is a property setting called "AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage" in the OLEDB Data Source Properties. Great! I go back and look at the connection in the Import and .... there's nothing with that property!
Back to the drawing board. I Create a new SSIS package and figure out quickly that the AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage is in there. I can transfter information from the Oracle Source Table to the SQL Server 2005 Destination Table, but it appears to be a one to one thing. Programming this, if I get it to work at all, will take me about 150 hours or so.
This make perfect sense if all you are doing is copying a few columns or maybe one or two objects, but I am talking about 600 + objects with upwards of 2 million rows of data in each!!
This generates 2 questions:
1. If the Import Data Wizard cannot handle this operation on the fly, then why can't the AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage property be shown as part of the connection
2. How do I create and SSIS Package that will copy all of the data from Oracle to SQL Server? The source tables have been created and have the same Schema and Object Names as the Source. I don't want to create a Data Flow Task 600 times.
Help!!!

When Importing data from Access 2000 to SQL Server 2000 I get an error when the column's data type in Access is Memo if I try to set the column's data type in SQL Server to text or ntext. Here is the error that I am getting.
Query-based insertion or updating of BLOB values is not supported.
I have tried to change this to a varchar data type but the fields can be very large and some are over the 8000 limit.
Short of programmatically adding the data, is there another way to do this in SQL Server? I cannot use the Access upsize wizard.

Hi,
I'm trying to import text file (generated by UNIX - collation ISO LATIN 2) into the database using SQL SERVER 2005 Import and Export Wizard. I have got a problem with importing a decimal number, because in that column are not only decimal numbers (that's OK), but there are also spaces (not null, the column is filled by spaces and it looks like | |). When I'm trying import that file, then will occur the problem of truncation and import stops.
I can import that data by BULK INSERT, but I would like to import it by Import and Export Wizard at once without using subsequent conversions.

I am using the Import wizard to import a SQL2000 database to SQL2005 and noticed 2 problems:
1. all tables and views were selected; the tables were imported correctly but the views were created as tables, ignoring the "Create view" syntax. The SQL generated contains "Create table" syntax instead of "Create View".
2. when a table contained a column with an "identity" property, the data was successfully imported, but the values for the "identity" column were not preserved, instead they were resquenced from 1 with an increment of 1 (the default values for an identity). When I opened the "Edit" (under "Mapping"), "enable identity insert" was not checked.
A further note: I created all tables in the SQL2005 database before running the Import.

I saw this post by dterrie in the Wishlist thread and I just wanted to second it:
"How about bringing back a simple dBase import. The SSIS guys are clearly FAR out of touch with reality if they think people who handle data no longer need to work with dbf files. I've seen alot of dumb stuff in my day, bit this is just sheer brilliance. I just love the advice of first importing into Access and then importing the Access table. Gee, why didn't I think of such a convenient solution. I could have had a V-8."
I've been struggling with this the last couple days and finally decided to import the dBase III file into Access and then import that into SQL Server 2005. Imagine my surprise when I discovered this was the current recommended method.
That's just ridiculous. Can someone tell me why they would reduce some of the functionality of SQL Server from 2000 to 2005? This was a very easy process in SQL Server 2000...

How can I copy a SQL 7 database from one server to another? Please tell me all the ways because I've tried the obvious and it doesn't work. (backup and restore - won't go from one server to another, DTS transfer object Wizard - does a whole pile of errors and doesn't do stored proceedures and trigures). Thanks for help in advance. Also, what is the email address to post to the listserv and where is the FAQ for SQL7? Most of my listserv's tell you where to post right at the bottom of the digest I get - any chance you guys would do that with this list? Thanks again.

I am going to install SQL7.0 on the current NT4.0 with SQL6.5 on it by uninstalling SQL6.5 first and then installing (not upgrading through Wizard) SQL7.0.
Here are the questions I need help with:
1. Should I convert the database after the installation of SQL7.0 or directly restore the SQL6.5 databases backup?
2. If I need to convert the databases, How and in what way?
3. Which way is better upgrade or installation?
Thank you ahead of time

I need some documentation on how to trouble shoot clustering SQL7EE. I have setup the cluster and looks like it is working but I missed somthing. When I test a failover by pulling the Network cable to the main network not the heartbeat network both boxes lock up. I can failover by powering down one box and using the MSCluster Admin. I am using NT40 6a on Dell PowerEdge 2400 and PowerValut 211s

Hi folks. Got a real doozy going. One of the network techs reinstalled NT4 SP5 on a server. This reverted the SQL driver back to 2.something. Now sqlserveragent jobs will not run.
I have tried to instal MDAC 2.5, but it doesn't change the driver up to the new 3.xxx driver. I searched around on here and folks said that you have to move the MDAC executable to a new directory. for the new MDAC I don't see MDAC.EXE. I did find MDAC.COM and renamed that. Tried to rerun MDAC 2.5 but still got the old SQLSRV32.Dll.
Uninstalled SQLServer and reinstalled. still got the old SQLSRV32.Dll.
Tried to apply SQLServer SP1. It died.
Found that I am to shutdown some services. Did that. SP1 still dies.
Tried to apply SQLSERVER SP2. It tries to pick up where it died and it dies again.
SO, I'm currently uninstalling SQLServer, reboot, installing SQLServer, reboot, Trying SP2 again.
Didn't think that it was brain surgery just to install a new flippin version of the ODBC driver.. SHEEZ!!!!

Starting with Win2k you are not suppossed to have to install MDAC, as it comes with the OS. What about when I install SQL7 and it automatically installs MDAC. Do I have to reinstall MDAC in this case?

This is a very confusing question. Let me start:
I need to know can I use Japanese characters in SJIS format with American SQL 7 on Win2K. I must be able to integrate a Japanese language database and an English language database on one platform. Since most people working on this project are bilingual, it would be OK to get Win2K Japanese. But I am not sure how to get SQL Japanese in the states, where I am working now.
Can you helP?
Thanks

Is there any way in which I can move an objects/ data to another
filegroup using transact sql?
I have created a table such that the data is on a secondary filegroup.
But the table has image and text data and this data is going to
the PRIMARY filegroup.
I tried chnging the filegroup for the text data but this property but does not change(I did it through EM).
As a result, the disk which contains the primary filegroup is getting filled up.
I have configured my database such that the primary file group is on one disk and the secondary on another and the log on the same disk as the primary filegroup.
I have given lesser space to the primary file group and more space to the secondary filegroup.
help on this is greatly appreciated because my system is rapidly growing with respect to data.
thanks and best regards
Sush.

Has anybody had any problems with mmc crashing when running Enterprise Manager on SQL Server 7.0/SP1? This occurs on a fairly regular basis on several of our development NT client machines (NT SP4 and SP5). We are running Version 1.1 of mmc. Is there a later version (or service pack) we need to be using?
Any comments on this would be appreciated.

We use the stored procedures to help us produce mail merges in word via MS Query. This set up worked well for our 6.5 databases, since our change to 7 however MS Query no longer wants to talk through ODBC to our upgraded server. MS Query crashes with an invalid page fault just after the login prompt for the odbc connection. Any ideas??

Guys,
I'm evaluating SQL 7.0 on a Win95 machine. I have a dump file of my 6.5 databases which I would like to port to my 7.0 machine, unfortunately when I tried to run the restore command on SQL 7.0's EM, I got an error saying that the directory which I am restoring from is already existing.
Is there a workaround to directly restore my 6.5 dump to 7.0?
Any help will be grately appreciated!

Hi all,
We had implemented a customized locking mechanism on our apps in SQL.6.5 which worked fine. But, we couldnt implement row-level locking, and hence had some performance problems. Can someone suggest how I can implement the row-level locking in SQL.7.0? Should I go for cutomised set-up again, or should I leave to the SQL server to take care of locking ? How has the experience been with other users?
Thanks
