I am upgrading our SQL 2000 Server hardware. I am looking for a way to "mirror" this server. The only items that we are changing are updating the hardware and the OS will be Server 2K3 instead of Server 2k
Does anyone have a reliable method, or suggested processes for migrating one server to another?
I have a situation where I might want to pull(select) some information from a DB2 database, and possibly push(insert) some data to the same DB2 database. I am sure this is being done in the real world. WHat software, infrastrucure, etc would I need to accomplish this. Is it as simple as using DTS and the proper drivers, or are their better products and solutions. ANy
input appreciated.

Hi all,
I have a server that is missing some important files, and instead of doing process of elimination, I feel it is best just to reinstall 2000.
Now is there a way to reinstall 2000 and just getting the files that the server is missing?
Is there any guidelines or steps for reinstalling 2000 out there?
Thanking you in advance.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi, I am trying to create a connection string that will connect to a SQL Server 2005 Registration on a remote machine. I have a SQL Server 2000 registration (installed) on the same machine and so I think there may be a conflict. The SQL 2005 registration is denoted as HARDYSQL5 and the 2000 registration is merely HARDY (the machine name). I need to connect to a database on the HARDYSQL5 registration but I am not connecting. I have tried various connection strings but none have worked. I get a Login failure. I think this is red herring because I doubt its even finding the database.I can connect to the 2000 db with:"Server=HARDY;Database=Perimeter;UID=use;pwd=example;" But its fails with the following, for example:"Server=HARDYSQL5;Database=Perimeter;UID=use;pwd=example;" "Server=HARDYSQL5;Database=HARDYSQL5Perimeter;UID=use;pwd=example;" "Server=HARDY;Database=SQL5Perimeter;UID=use;pwd=example;" I'm gon go nuts. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

View 5 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I have an aplication in VB6 that uses an ODBC to link to a SQL database.
Until today all my clientes had SQL Server2000 and my aplication worked fine.
Some of my cliente have now SQL 2005 and my application still woks fine except in one of them.
In this particular cliente it gives an error when the application tries to read/write a particular table and a particular column.
This column is data type BIT and my code is
...
Myrs("Servida")= true
...
Any idea why the error appens? And why only in a particular machine and not all of them with SQL2005?
What can I do? I changed the code for
myrs("servida")=abs(cint(true)) and solved the problem, but is not the way that I want to go. I do not want to change thousands of line of code where I read/write a column in the database data type BIT.
Is there a way to configure SQL Server 2005 the way that it controls data type BIT?
Regards
Luis

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,I have developed an application using VB 6 (SP 5), MS Access 2000 andCrystal Reports 9. I migrated from from access to SQl Server 2000.This wasn't a problem as i could import all the tables to SQL Server.Also, i could make VB6 talk to SQl Server.The problem arsies when i run my application. The sql syntax foraccess seems to be different than that for SQL Server. A simpleexample being: In access boolean datatype is true/false ,whereas inSQL Server the boolean equivalent is bit (numerical 1 or 0). Thesekind of issues are causing problems and most queries don't run.Would i need to go and change all the queries in accordance with SQlServer syntax ,which would be very time consuming or is there anyfunction which will convert the access datatype into its equivalentSQl Server datatype??Any input/thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.ThanksJatin

We have a SQL Server 2000 and want to migrate to SQL Server 2005 Express.
It's possible?
SQL Server 2005 Express have support to do this?
Given than once SQL Server 2005 is installed, SQL Server Studio has to
be used instead of Enterprise manager, can both SQL 2000 and 2005 be
used on the same machine, be it development or production? (The second
one to be installed probably would be a named instance.)
Any experiance of doing this or a pointer to a Microsoft recommendation would be appreciated.
i have computer with windows 2000 an sql 7.0 (computerA)
goal is windows 2003 with sql 2005
I see my choices as is:
A) upgrade win2k to 2k3 then upgrade sql7 on w2k3 to sql2k5 on win2k3.
(i see many potential problems with that)
B) have computerB with clean install of win2k3 and install sql2k5 on it.
if this is the case, what is the best / easiest way to get the database from 7 to 2k5? Database copy wizard? dts? attaching the db?
Anything else I should lookout for ?

Hi,I've got a database that needs to migrate from SQL 6.5 to SQL 2000. I'mhaving problems with Datetime data types. In SQL 6.5 the Date is shown as'Mar 23 2004 12:00AM' but when I've copied the database across to SQL 2000,although it's still a Datetime data type, it is displayed as '2004-03-2300:00:00.000'. Unfortunately it means Stored Procedures called through afront end Visual Basic application do not work.Colleagues have suggested checking the collation, which I did and it's thesame as the older 6.5 database. Is there another property that needs to bechanged to allow the new Datetime dates to be shown in the desired format?FYI I have Systems Administrator privileges on the older 6.5 database butnot on the new 2000 one.I'm hoping there must be an flag/option I can change. Any help would begratefully appreciated.Kind regardsRich
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe are about to migrate just over 30 databases from a SQL server 7 installation to a SQL 2000 on a different server. Each database has it's own logins.
What is the best, and most fool-proof path to take? I know from previous experience that restoring a single database works fine, but that the logins are orphaned. Are there complications with restoring the master database from the SQL 7 machine on the SQL 2000 machine? Any advice would be helpful as this is bound to be a painful process. ;-)

Hi all,
I'm in need of migrating DB's from a SQL 2000 server to a new SQL 2005 server. Has anyone had any success in this or does anyone know of a process which would be best for this situation?
Here's my setup...
SQL2000 SERVER....OS - Server 2000
MDF's/LDF's reside on D:MSSQLData
Backups reside on D:MSSQLBackup
SQL2005 SERVER....OS - Server 2003
MDF's/LDF's reside on E:MSSQLData
Backups reside on E:MSSQLBackup
Any information on how to get these DB from 2000 to 2005 will be greatly appreciated.

Guys! Very very junior in this migration part. Hope the seniors can help out....PLEASE!!!!!! Don't get me wrong asking you guys to spoon feed me. I have read a lot of articles and even BOL and also not to forget read millions of books on this. But just wanted to make sure that I am in the right path and want to do this without any problem. That's why I have decided to ask the Gurus here who have done this in past.
I have this machine now:
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2040 (Intel X86)
Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: )
Migrating to this machine:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - (X64)
Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)
I have these in the SQL Server 2000 box:
1. Databases, tables (of course)
2. Views
3. Securities(Logins, Roles, Password)
4. DTS packages
5. Jobs
6. Replications
7. Linked Servers
8. Stored Procedures
Every article is different. I was confused at a point of time. Please show me the right way guys!
Yesterday I started this topic and I came step by step higher and now I have finalized my steps to migrate.
Seniors and Gurus and who has done this before, please review and correct me where I am wrong and/or add some tips for me to have this one going on successfully! Thanking all of you guys in advance! Here is what I have:
Before Migrating:
1. Install Service Packs, Security Patches and Hot Fixes
2. Install DTS Designer Tool from Microsoft to prevent conflict and failure of migrating current DTS packages to SQL Server 2005
3. Backup EACH and EVERY Database and double check the .bak files whether it exist and backup was successful
4. Just before migrating, reboot the server to clarify that the SQL Server Services and SQL Server Agent is working
When you are ready to migrate:
5. Make sure there are no users trying to connect to the OLD AND the NEW SQL Server. Inform them well in advance about the downtime. Shutdown any applications or websites that might be accessing the SQL Server.
6. Stop the SQL Server, SQL Agent and MS Search Services on the NEW SQL Server
If downtime is not possible:
7. For ever changing OLTP database, by the time you restore the backup onto the new server, the old server would have received more changes. To avoid this problem, you need to resort to log shipping. Log shipping is nothing but an automated process of backup and restore. The following steps will explain the process of log shipping (Note that SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition provides inbuilt logs hipping. We don't need that for this purpose. We can simply create a job that backs up and restores the databases
8. Create a job on the old server, with two steps. The first steps backs up the transaction log of the OLTP database. The second step restores this transaction log backup file onto the new server, using WITH STANDBY or WITH NORECOVERY option of the RESTORE command. Schedule this job to run every 10 minutes or 15 minutes, depending on the volume of transactions your OLTP database receives
9. This job will take care of shipping all new transactions since the full database backup, to the database on the new server. Let this job run until you can afford some downtime on your production database (that is, mid-night, or early morning, or a planned maintenance window)
10. Now to be doubly sure, no new transactions are coming in, set the database in 'single user' or 'dbo use only' mode. Take one last transaction log backup of the production OLTP database, and restore it onto the database on new server. This time use the WITH RECOVERY option of the RESTORE command
11. Run UPDATE_STATISTIC on User Database to reorganize all indexes
Considerations:
12. Security - The security model changed along with object ownership, but users that own objects will be turned into schemas and all of the object and role permissions will come over. These you will want to look over afterwards, but they should be ok.
13. Unless you have hundreds of them, it is always better to re-create them after upgrading. You cannot detach an MSDB database on a 2000 server and attach it on a 2005 server and have it work. Fortunate in this, we can script out the jobs from SQL Server 2000 and run it on the new SQL Server 2005
14. Typically you will have to re-create your replication too. Again, the good news is that you can generate the scripts for replication on a 2000 server and execute them on a 2005 server and it will create the appropriate articles and publications
15. For DTS packages, it is always recommended to use the Package Migration wizard to do this so that less or no problems will be encountered. Consider about the jobs previously set.
16. Logins can be created by using sp_hexadecimal and sp_revlogin2005

Here core work is just insert all these 3000 - 6000 records (rows) from Access database to sql2000 database
Thanks in Advance!!
