Is there any way to restore a database of higher version to lower version.
E.g. I have created a database in sql server 2012, created some tables & procedures in that.I took Full backup of that database. Can I restore it to sql 2008r2 or any lower version.
I know direct restore is not possible, I have to use either import or export option or generating script,but i want to know is there any easy step to do so.
I'm in a mild-debate with some colleagues of mine. Can someone shed some light on this for me.
(This is related to a problem we are having with empty recordsets being returned where we know there should be rows returned. I think it could be caused by incorrect/outdated MDAC components.)
We use SQL 7 sp2, and ado DSN'less connection strings.
I'm just getting started. I'm on Window 2000 pro with service pack 4 etc... I installed "C#" and "Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition" -thats fine.
I then installed "Microsoft SQL Server" (SQLEXPR.EXE) it was good until it did a check:
Everything checked and passed fine except for the 2nd to last one: - Minimum MDAC Version Requirement (Error) Messages * Minimum MDAC Version Requirement
* The system does not have the required version of Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) for this SQL Server release. For details, see Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2005 in Microsoft SQL Server Books Online.
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.

I am in process to migrate some replicated SQL 2008 databases to SQL 2012. I haven't migrated the replicated/mirrored databases yet however I have migrated some clean databases just having SSIS. This time I am tasked to migrate replicated one. providing  the detail steps to follow to migrate such databases?Â
HI I am facing a strange problem with SQL Server 2005 . The CPU utilization with SQL Server 2005 is higer by about 70% comapared to SQL 2000.
In the same kind of Hardware and with the DB server up , I performed the following tests Declare @i int Set @i = 10 While @i < 100000 Begin Insert into arup_emp values(@i,'M',0)
Set @i = @i + 1 end
The CPU utilization average on SQL 2005 was 45% and on SQL 2K it was just 25% , I am seeing a lot of people who seems to be facing this problem but unfortunately not seeing any solution to this.
Can anyone through some light . Please note that I have tried to also see the MAXDOP options, but get the same results.
I am trying to determine the next registered session of a student so Ican calculate the number of skipped sessions.Scenario: I have a student registration summary table. One row foreach student and the student's registered session. I want to update agiven row with the next higher registered session (into a field callednext_registered_session_skey if the row exists). I can then use thediff of the skeys to determine how many sessions the student skippedfor each registration period.Example: Student X registers each fall for one session for 4 years.The file might look like:STUDENT_ID SESSION_ID SESSION_SKEYNEXT_REGISTRED_SESSION_SKEY123456789 200201 100null123456789 200301 104null123456789 200401 108null123456789 200501 112nullI need to update the NEXT_REGISTRED_SESSION_SKEY so I end up with:STUDENT_ID SESSION_ID SESSION_SKEYNEXT_REGISTRED_SESSION_SKEY123456789 200201 100104123456789 200301 104108123456789 200401 108112123456789 200501 112nullI can then say SESSIONS_SKIPPED = NEXT_REGISTRED_SESSION_SKEY –SESSION_KEY (logically speaking, not syntactically)This is what I have so far as example:UPDATE F_REGISTRATIONSET NEXT_REGISTERED_SESSION_SKEY = (select top 1 nextr.session_skeyfrom f_registration rinner joinf_registration nextron r.student_skey = nextr.student_skey and nextr.session_skey[color=blue]> r.session_skey[/color]order by r.session_skey desc)WHERE STUDENT_ID = '577665705';SELECT student_skey, student_id, session_id, session_skey,next_registered_session_skey, * FROM F_REGISTRATION WHERE STUDENT_ID= '577665705' order by session_skey descRESULTS:STUDENT_SKEY STUDENT_ID SESSION_ID SESSION_SKEYNEXT_REGISTERED_SESSION_SKEY125137 577665705 200404 309 311125137 577665705 200403 308 311125137 577665705 200402 307 311125137 577665705 199804 285 311125137 577665705 199803 284 311125137 577665705 199802 283 311125137 577665705 199704 281 311TIARob(I restricted with the where = ‘577665705' so I did not have to waitto update all the rows)
I want to read data from a XML into SQL Server database tables "tour" and "stop". There is a 1:n relation between tour and stop. (a shortened XML sample, relation Tour : Stop = 1 : n)
I am able to insert elements from <Tour> into the table "tour" with the data flow in the Integration Services. But I need the values from the tag <TourNoPlan> in the rows for the table stop (it is the foreign key) in the second step. How can I get the values in the SSIS from the <Tour> in the dataflow for the different <stop>? It is a hierarchicle structure - normal for a XML. Is there a sample for reading such a XML into a Database? I have tried it with [Tour::TourNoPlan] or similar, but it was wrong. Second try was setting a UserVariable in the tour dataflow to the actual value of the TourNoPlan and using it in the data flow for the stop tags - but only a setting in a script at PostExecution was possible - to late. I think a very simple problem and the same for each XML Import. Any ideas ???
I was wondering how can I get the value of System::TaskName of a higher scope when I have a Master Package that have several sequence task, data flow tasks and execute package tasks. For each task inside this Master Package on the Post-Execute event handler I have a script task that logs the execution of each task.
After running this master package I saw in my db that I have a row for every single tasks executed in the process and not only the tasks that exist in the master package. For instance, for simplicity let's say my master package looks like this:
I see two TaskName variables in the Variable window, one with OnPostExec scope and the other with Execute Package 2 for instance. I want to get the value of System::TaskName with Execute Package 2 scope.
I want to see in my db only the tasks in bold. Any ideas of how can I do this? I hope you understand what I'm trying to achieve.
I've read some threads on this topic and all have been solved by installing the SSIS service. This would be fine except for the fact that I already have SSIS installed and working on the server the package is being called from.
I have several scheduled packages that work without error and a few that fail, telling me "Error: ... it requires a higher level edition." Does SSIS need to be installed on the target server as well? Do I need to do a reinstall? Please advise. Thanks.
I am receiving the following error in Sql Job agent when I try to run an SSIS package : The task "Create Excel File" cannot run on this edition of Integration Services. It requires a higher level edition. It then goes on to tell me : The Execution method succeeded, but the number of errors raised (2) reached the maximum allowed (1); resulting in failure. This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number specified in MaximumErrorCount. I have tried reseting the error count to allow for the "errors" , but it stills fails. The job suceeds in Visual Studio, but not when scheduled in Sql Management Studio. Any suggestions?
I'm developing and sql 2008 view that shows me the last month of sales of every customer and every item sold, the problem is that I need group by customer with the higher Sale Price of every item of the customer, example:
1.If We sold the same item to one customer then it must show just the higher sale price of every item
2.If the same item was sold to the same customer at the same price then it must show just the last sold date record of that item
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT OrderDate, DebtorNr, DebtorName, ItemCode, Description, Qty, CostPrice, SalePrice FROM dbo.VK_SALE_ORDERS WHERE (OrderDate >= DATEADD(MM, - 1, GETDATE())) ORDER BY DebtorNr, ItemCode
I'm reading <inside sql server 2005torage engine> recently.
The author mentioned about " If the LSN on the page is equal to or higher than the actual LSN for this log record, SQL Server will skip the REDO operation" in chapter 5 and section 1.
As we all know,the transaction log will be written before the changes to the database are written. So i think the the LSN on the page is equal to or lower than the actual LSN for this log record....
I have bunch of heap tables and the fragmentation seems to be high, i am not sure whether i shall add index for them, as these tables are inserted and updated every day.
Since some analysis services features are only available in Enterprise version , I have to upgrade my SQL 2005 server from standard edition to enterpise edition.
So I uninstall originial standard version of analysis service and install a Enterprise version. However, the analysis service is still a standard version after installation.
Is it possible to keep data engine as standard version and install a enterprise version of analysis service?
Hello,I have been searching and reading a lots of information on the microsoft website about the different version of SQL server, but still can not make my decision.In term of performance, is there a real big difference between the workgroup and the standard version? The workgroup is limited to 3 GB of RAM while the standard is unlimited, would that really change the performance if my server has 16Gb or RAM?The price difference is pretty substantial so if could only have to buy the workgroup , it would be better.One more question, regarding the type of licence, my server has 2 processors, could I avoid buying 2 licences and get the Server plus CAL instead. I am using this server to host 4 web-application running on SQL server. Each database is about 15 MB.Thanks in adavance for your advises.Arno
I am wondering if it is possible to change from SQL Server Enterprise Evaluation Version to Developer Version. The reason is because the Enterprise Evaluation version expires after 180 days. So if I create reports and cubes in Enterprise Evaluation I can import them into Developer Edition right? Should I remove the Enterprise Evaluation version after 180 days or leave it then install Developer Edition?

I have an ssis package that downloads a SQL Server 2000 database and restores it to a SQL 2005 server. Ninety-five percent of the time it runs just fine, but every so often the job fails and I get the following set of error messages in the log file. (I have had to delete some of the proprietary information for this message to satisfy my boss like putting in [Database name] in place of the actual name of the database in the error message).

I have received the error message "Package migration from version 8 to version 6 failed".I have developed a SSIS package with Visual Studio 2013 which gives me PackageFormatVersion of 8. I then deploy my package to the ssisdb catalog that is running on a SQL Server 2012, this works fine but when I try to execute the package the error arises…due to SQL Server 2012 has a PackageFormatVersion of 6 and it can’t run something that has a greater version.I haven’t seen any good solution for this but one that would work for me would be to upgrade the Integration Services Server from 2012 to 2014, leaving everything else in 2012 (database, ssms, ssas, ssrs).Would this solve the package format problem? Would I then be able to execute my packages in the ssisdb catalog?
Now, I checked and verified that my backup version of SQL Server is the same as the version installed on the computer I'm restoring too.
I have SQL Server on a production machine that I backed up and want to test a full restore on a dev machine to make sure it will work when I need it to.
Now that I've run the restore command on my tape backup and go to restart the SQL server service I receive:
Configuration block version 0 is not a valid version number. SQL Server is exiting. Restore the master database or reinstall.
I'm afraid I don't understand why this is happening. If the builds are the same, then shouldn't restoring the MASTER database have worked normally and I'd be able to restart the service now?
I have the trial version of SQL Server 2005 installed and have setup a couple of databases. This trial version will expire in another few weeks. I recently purchased a copy of the software and want to install it. Will I lose my databases, user info, etc? How do I go about installing without losing anything?
We have a 64bit os machine that we accidently loaded the 32 bit version of sql server on. We now want to upgrade it to 64 bit sql server, but we now have a production database on it. My understanding is that all I have to do is detach the production database, upgrade to 64bit sql server, then reattach the database. Is this really all I have to do?
I started this thread as the last attempt to sort the issue out.
I have an SSIS package that loads data from a .csv file into my database. It works fine on my developer machine. I start it programmatically or from Management Studio or from Visual Studio, and it works. Then I deploy it to the MSDB database on the computer on which it will have its final place. There again I can start it from Management Studio or from Visual Studio (using the source file), and it works. But when I start it programmatically, it just fails telling me:
Package Warnings: Package Errors: The version of component "****" (11773) is not compatible with this version of the DataFlow. Component "component "Derived Column" (13627)" could not be created and returned error code 0x80070005. Make sure that the component is registered correctly. The component is missing, not registered, not upgradeable, or missing required interfaces. The contact information for this component is "Flat File Source;Microsoft Corporation;Microsoft SqlServer v9; (C) 2005 Microsoft Corporation; All Rights Reserved; http://www.microsoft.com/sql/support;1". component "Agreement File" (11773) failed validation and returned error code 0xC0048021. One or more component failed validation. There were errors during task validation.
Maybe the source of the problem is that this machine is a 64-bit one, while the developer machine is 32-bit one. But why does the package run fine when I start it from Management Studio?
Can some one here give me more insight about how to upgrade a SQL Server 2005 Standard Version (32 bits) to a SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Version (32 bits) as default instance on a Windows 2003 enterprise OS (32 bits). I want to know what is the easist way and what is the safest way. May I preserve some settings I have for the STD version, or I have to start from strach again to configure the server? Is there any catches, anything I should have attention to (We are using heavily about CLR and fulltext indexing)?
