Hello,
I would like to ask you if there is better to recreate database structure on 2005 from 2000 and move data or to just load
2000 backup.
Currently I loaded the backup, but I am wondering if there might be slightly better performance on 2005 when recreating structure on 2005 to loading 2000 backup?
Does loading 2000 backup create 2005 binary structure?
Thanks for help in advance
I am attempting to move some SQL 2000 databases to SQL 2005. My main production database does not seem to want to move. When I use the SQL 2005 GUI the .bak backup file is marked 'Incomplete'. When I attempt to restore the backup file I get a 'RESTORE detected an error on page (0:0) in database' message. I saw a thread in the SQL Express forum suggesting trying to restore from the T-SQL level to get the GUI out of the picture and I get the same 'error on page (0:0)' message. However when I take the same file and use SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager it restores with no problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
I have an existing sql server 2000 installation on one server. I now need to take one 2000 DB and restore it to a new sql server 2005 installation (on a different server).
What is the best way to do this. I can not upgrade the sql server 2000 installation to 2005. Basically i hoping all i need to do is backup the 2000 db and then restore it on the new sql 2005 server.
Is this possible...thanks for all help.
Does anyone know if this works to where the data is viewable/usable?
I have an application that takes datasets out of the SQL database. We decommisioned our old SQL 2000 SP4 machine and brought in a SQL 2005 Server. What we did was backed up the old database and then restored it on the new Server.
Now the application does not see the old datasets but will collect new ones that are viewable. We can import older datasets but we have nearly 27 GB of data, which our DBA can see the old tables in Enterprise Manager but our applciation can't see it.
I'm thinking it might be a schema issue or the way that 2005 translate the odler 2000 SP4 database. Does anyone know, or have they run a back up on a older 2000 Server and then restored it to a 2005?
Thank you.
David

hi there
i've made a backup from a MS SQL Server 2005 database and i tried to restore this database to a MS SQL Server 2000. Unfortunately, I got following error
The backed-up database has on-disk structure version 611. The server supports version 539 and cannot restore or upgrad this database.
what can i do ? is it possible to restore the MS SQL Server 2005 DB on a MS SQL Server 2000 ?

I have sqlexpress 2005 on my local machine - but my hoster has sql 2000 - so i used the DB publishing wizard to create the script and sent it over to them - they are now saying that they need a .bak file in 2000 to host my database - is this a bunch of horse hockey or not?
if this is legit - any ideas on how I can create a .bak 2000 sql from sqlexpress 2005?
many thanks
I want to restore a backup of a SQL Server 2000 database to SQL Server 2005. Would I need to do anything after running the restore to upgrade the database?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI did a backup of a SQL2000 database (named Winstis) using the 2005 management studio. I then created a blank database on my 2005 instance (named Winstis). I then tried to do a database restore to the new 2005 database. I got an error:

I know it's not possible to backup a database in SQL2005, and restore to 2000. But, I've been asked if there are any 3rd party tools which can do this - such as SQL Litespeed - but I can't see anything regarding this on their website.
Does anyone know if litespeed or Redgate SQL Backup can restore to 2000 from 2005 ?

Hi all,I'm having a problem restoring backup from 2000 to 2005. The actualrestore process went ok. However, the database user of the restoreddatabase is missing a Login Name. I've made sure that the Login Nameis created in 2005. Also tried deleting the user, but couldn't theuser is db owner. Is there any way that I can assign a Login Name forthis database user or maybe drop this user and assign another one?Regards,Gerd
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a database that is in the SQL Server 2000 compatability mode on my SQL 2005 server. I am trying to restore a backup of this database on my SQL Server 2000 database on another server and keep getting strange messages. First trying Red-Gate and then plain SQL Server with no luck.
It seems as I remember that the 7.0 and 2000 compatibility issue between backups did not arise when the compatibility mode was set to 7.0.
Is this "planned" behavior or an "undocumented feature"??? Anyone else have success doing this?
Thanks,

I'm trying to see the differences between Backup/Restore and Attach/Detach. I backup and detach a database from SQL Server 2000 SP3 and then attach and restore it to SQL Server 2005 SP1.
The differences I noticed are:
1. The restored database has a much larger initial size (database size is same) for data and log.
2. The attached database has a last backup date
3. If the backup is restored over a database, the restored database is showing owned by the database owner of the database restored over but syslogins and sysusers do not match.
I don't understand why #1 happens.
Are there any other differences between Backup/Restore and Attach/Detach?
Thanks,
Peter
I am trying to 'load' a copy of a SQLServer 2000 database to SQLServer 2005 Express (on another host). The copy was provided by someone else - it came to me as a MDF file only, no LDF file.
I have tried to Attach the database and it fails with a failure to load the LDF. Is there any way to bypass this issue without the LDF or do I have to have that?
The provider of the database says I can create a new database and just point to the MDF as the data source but I can't seem to find a way to do that? I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Thanks!!
Hi
We would like to install Sql 2005 Enterprise Edition (including database engine, reporting service, integration service and analysis service) as a sepearte instance on a server which already has Sql 2000 with reporting services and analysis services. We do not want to disturb the existing sql 2000 setup.
If we do that then what will happen to my earlier sql 2000 reporting service? Will it be upgraded to sql 2005 reporting service? I heard that reporting services are instance unaware application. Where will be the default reporting service database available?
Please help us.

Hi,
I am writing a contingency plan for incase our SQL Server (2005) goes down. Basically when our applicatino is about to write data to the SQL Server it checks the connection. If the connection passes it outputs to SQL, if it fails it generates an XML document detailing the data so that the data can be imported later.
Each XML document needs to define which database and which table needs to be updated/inserted.
So the SQL needs to be able to read a number of XML documents and update the relevant tables according dependent on the data held within the XML; some examples:
<Output>
<Record>
<Database>DW</Database>
<Table>dbo.tblActivity</Table>
<DateTime>11-05-2007 10:03:33.099</DateTime>
<Data>
<strActivityPK>9353|HCR008</strActivityPK>
<strActivityCode>HCR008</strActivityCode>
<strActivityDescription>HCR Complete</strActivityDescription>
<datTarget>2007-05-18</datTarget>
<datActual />
<intMatterIntCode>9353</intMatterIntCode>
<intRecurringActivityFlag>0</intRecurringActivityFlag>
<intETLFlag>0</intETLFlag>
</Data>
</Record>
</Output>
I need SSIS to open this XML, read the Table element and insert or update dbo.tblActivity (in this case) with the data defined in the Data element. If updating, the update should only take place if the DateTime is more recent than a field (datLastUpdate) on the corresponding row in the database.
Can anyone offer some guidance (for example is the XML optimally structured for import by SQL) and advice on how (which tasks to use) to go about setting this SSIS package up.
Ps. thanks to Darren I already have the file selection and open process sorted using a Foreach and some enumeration to select each XML file. It is what to do with the XML afterwards I need get working...
Thanks,

I was running Small Business Server 2003 with MS SQL Server 2000. I put backups of all my SQL Server 2000 databases on hard disk d: and the operating system and applications on c:/. I then reformatted c:/ (but left d:/ intact) and installed Windows XP Home. Then I installed MS SQL Server 2005 Developer's Edition.
I would like to now restore the backups of the SQL Server 2000 databases (still intact on drive d:/) to SQL Server 2005, but I get a variety of error messages.
I suspect that I am going about this the wrong way. I have done several hours of research in the documentation without success. I cannot attach the SQL Server 2000 database to SQL Server 2005 because it is a backup, not a database. I cannot migrate the databases as part of the installation of SQL Server 2005 because (a) they are back-ups, and (b) I don't have SQL Server 2000 installed when I install SQL Server 2005.
Is there a solution?
TIA

Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to connect to Desktop SQL Server 2000 from Windows mobile PC Emulator (VS 2005). I need a direct connection using connection string to SQL Server 2000 through local wireless network without IIS.
Bellow is the code that I use. After executing this code I get an error on line Conn.Open(). Error says SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
SQL is un and running, and I can log in using SA username from the desktop. Even if I chance IP for another SQL server in my connection string I still get the same error. There is no firewall of any kind running.
Dim connectionSTR As String = "Persist Security Info=False;Integrated Security=False;Server=192.168.0.202,1433;initial catalog=MyDB;user id=sa;password=;"
Dim Conn As SqlConnection
Conn = New SqlConnection(connectionSTR)
Conn.Open()
If Conn.State = ConnectionState.Open Then
MessageBox.Show("Open")
End If
About my environment: SQL Server 2000 is running on Desktop PC with Windows XP SP2. Application which I need to connect to SQL Server is in Visual Studio 2005. I execute the application in Windows Mobile PC Emulator and try to connect to SQL Server from emulator.
Your advice and help is very appreciated

does anyone know how to modify table structure in sql server management console(2005)? thanks

View 3 Replies View RelatedIf we changed the sort order from BIN to BIN2 but kept everything else the same will it have any effect on replication? So in SQL 2005 if I were to change my default collation from Latin1_General_Bin to Latin1_General_Bin2, would that cause replication to break? I suspect that it will not be an issue since it is just sort order that is changing and the code page stays the same.
BTW, this is transactional replication. Sorry, I left that out of my original post.

Hello,
Here's my need :
In one directory there's several excels file. Theses file have the same structure :
col : LOOKID, LOOKNAME, ASMPID, ASMPNAME, LOOKTYPE, LTYP_NAME, PAR_TYPE, PTYP_NAME, PARAMETER, VALUE.
The problem is that the cell format of the PARAMETER col. is different bewteen excel files. It could be date, numeric, ... The col destination in sqlservr database is Varchar(10).
I've created the ssis package with a ForEach Loop, and in the ForEach loop I've created a Data Flow Task.
In the data Flow Task I've created an excell source file (using excel file with col PARAMETER in date format) with an OLE DB destination.
When I launch the package on the same excel file as the one using to create Excel Source object it's OK, no errors, and data in the sql table are OK.
But when I launch the package on Excel file with col. PARAMETER in numeric format, there's no execution errors, but in the destination table the value of the PARAMETER col. is transform in date format.
I tried to change in Excel source object the datatype of the input PARAMETER col, but I've got some compilations errors. It seems that SSIS recognize automaticaly excel source data type col. But may be I did something wrong in the excel source settings ?
Is there a way to force the excel source datatype with varchar(10) ?
I've also tried to do the treatment with an script task but my vb.net knowledge isn't enought to do that.
If you have some suggestions, I'm listening.
Thanks

Hi, I've read from a topic in this forum saying that we could store PDF files in a hard drive location and import the link into a table of database in SQL server 2005, but i don't know how. So I really appreciate if someone could show me how to write a store procedure or a scripto to do this?
And by the way, i have another question. From that PDF files link, is there any way that we could call that pdf files and print that files from SQL script or SQL store procedure. Thanks a lot

Initially I loaded SQL along with C# however it said at the time that the load had been unsuccessful. I continued as I knew I wouldnt need SQL for a while.
I also have Web Developer loaded and this would not load SQL 2005 Express either.
I have tried loading SQL 2005 Express as a seperate download and I note that rollback occurs - I presume because of the COM+ warning that appeared. I have been through the 'Work around COM+ System Configuration Check Failure in SQL Server Setup' document - to no avail. The following parts of SQL that have not loaded:
SQL Server 2005 Database Services.
I have also tried deleting all components of Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition and loading SQL as the first component; that also failed.
I have saved the logfile, however I dont really know what I'm looking for. sqlActionManaged = 3, sqlStateManaged = 2.
What is the difference between "Files aned File Groups" backup and Partial Backup?
Looks like both are same.. Please comment.
