Hi all,
I have a module in power builder with Sybase database as its backend. The other modules related to the same application are running on Delphi with SQL server as backend.
My requirement is to sync between the Sybase database and SQL server (2000) in order to update the SQL server with all the transactions ( online ) done in the Sybase database.

I have been having tremendous trouble getting OLEDB connections to Sybase that I use within SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 to work properly - they always seem to revert to the older, third party Sybase drivers if they are installed on the machine and just generally cause problems - I have given up on using them within an SSIS package all together and gone down another route.
Can anyone confirm to me whether or not this is because the version 15 native drivers that Sybase provide are not supported by SQL Server, please?
Thank you
Hi,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

How do I tap advanced functionality like #temptable and @var from openquery? There is a linked server from SQL Server 2000 to Sybase 12 using Sybase.ASEOLEDBProvider.
Executing an openquery statement from MS SQL will retrieve Sybase data; however, I have no advanced functionality available. When I try to use temporary #tables or declare @vars it returns this error...
Server: Msg 7357, Level 16, State 2, Line 1, Could not process object '…OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: OLE DB provider unable to process object, since the object has no columnsProviderName='Sybase.ASEOLEDBProvider', Query=…
Linked Server configuration:

Does anyone have a suggestion or alternative for this functionality? Thank you very much for your input.

View 6 Replies View RelatedFirst off, sorry if my cross posting offends anyone. I'm posting thisin Access and SQL Server groups - not sure which one is appropriate.I have a relatively simple ASP.NET/VB.NET application that is nowhitting an Access 2000 database over an intranet. We have to migratethe database to SQL Server 7. My experience with ASP.NET is prettylimited and my experience with SQL Server is nonexistent.We have an MSDN subscription, so I went to the downloads section to getSQL Server 7. Guess what? SQL Server 6.5 is available, as is 2000 and2005, but no SQL Server 7. So my first question is, does anyone know ifit is available for MSDN subscribers?The next question is, does anyone know of a good resource that explainshow to make the transition from Access 2000 to SQL Server 7? I know thedata has to be migrated and the connection between the application andthe database modified, but am really not sure exactly what to first andthe correct way to go about it. The application is a simple productconfigurator. There's not a lot of data and it's not a very complexdatabase.Thanks in advance.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm in the process of migrating a lot of data (millions of rows, 4GB+of data) from an older SQL Server 7.0 database to a new SQL Server2000 machine.Time is not of the essence; my main concern during the migration isthat when I copy in the new data, the new database isn't paralyzed bythe amount of bulk copying being one. For this reason, I'm splittingthe data into one-month chunks (the data's all timestamped and goesback about 3 years), exporting as CSV, compressing the files, and thenimporting them on the target server. The reason I'm using CSV isbecause we may want to also copy this data to other non-SQL Serversystems later, and CSV is pretty universal. I'm also copying in thisformat because the target server is remotely hosted and is notaccessible by any method except FTP and Remote Desktop -- nodatabase-to-database copying allowed for security reasons.My questions:1) Given all of this, what would be the least intrusive way to copyover all this data? The target server has to remain running and berelatively uninterrupted. One of the issues that goes hand-in-handwith this is indexes: should I copy over all the data first and thencreate indexes, or allow SQL Server to rebuild indexes as I go?2) Another option is to make a SQL Server backup of the database fromthe old server, upload it, mount it, and then copy over the data. I'mworried that this would slow operations down to a crawl, though, whichis why I'm taking the piecemeal approach.Comments, suggestions, raw fish?

I have successfully moved my data from a SQL Server 2000 hosting site to a SQL Server 2005 hosting site. I Made a backup of my database using Enterprise Manager (2000) and imported the database tables using SQL Server Management Studio (2005). I do not know how to move the 25 or so stored procedures that I have in SQL Server 2000. I have a very short amount of time to figure this out and am hoping that someone can give me a brief step by step answer on how to get this done. I would appreciate any information you can provide.

How to Downgrade a Database from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2000
As you may all know, SQL Server 2005 request a minimum of 8GB RAM to work€¦ let say satisfactorily. I first didn€™t knew that and after a while from the upgrade I did from SQL Server 2000 to 2005 my SQL Services were starting to crash three or four times per DAY!!!
At first I thought I was being attacked, but soon I realized it was nothing like that. I then decided to downgrade to an SQL Server 2000 edition. Though I looked around the internet to find some information on how to do that, I got very disappointed when I realized that no actual documentation of any kind could be found for that. So I am posting this thread to inform you on the procedures I had to follow for this action.
Before beginning I must assume, firstly that the user, who will attempt such thing, has a basic knowledge of SQL Environment, secondly that he has the two versions already installed (both 2000 and 2005), that a basic backup of the databases has been created and finally that all the 2005 SQL Server Users have been created at the SQL Server 2000 environment as well.
Step 1 Generating Scripts for the Database Elements and Structures
1) Right-click over the desired Database at 2005, Choose Tasks and the Generate Scripts (Option).
2) At the pop-up Dialog Box click at the Script All Objects in the selected Databases check box, to activate it and then Click the Next Button.
3) Set the following Elements to the following Values
a. Script Collation , set to TRUE
b. Script Database Create, set to TRUE
c. Script of SQL Version, set to SQL SERVER 2000
d. Script foreign keys, set to FALSE
e. Script Triggers, set to FALSE
Then Hit the Next button
4) Select the way the generated scripts should be saved (There are different selections. The most common one is Clipboard). Finally click the Next button till you reach the end.
5) Click Finish
After completing this procedure, we have to move to the SQL SERVER 2000 environment. Here, by using the Query Analyzer, we will have to run the scripts that were generated using the master database. Copy and Paste the script at the Query Analyzer and run it. After that the Structure of the Database will be created.
Be careful, the SQL Server 2005 Edition inserts the Views in a random place through the script. Therefore, all the scripts that are referred to the Views MUST be moved to the end of the script. If the Query Analyzer shows some errors do not be bothered. Delete all the elements created from the script and after you fix the code run it again.
Step2 Moving the data from 2005 to 2000
1) After completing the previous step successfully, moving the data follows. Right-click at the 2005 database you used to run the previous step and select Tasks and then choose the Export Data (option).
2) From the pop-up Dialog Box, select the Source Db and Click at the Next Button.
3) At the next step you will have to choose the destination server and the destination Database for the Data to be exported. Then Click Next.
4) A List of all the Source Database€™s Elements will appear in the screen. Select one by one all the Elements you wish to move and for each one click at the button Edit Mappings (Located at the bottom right corner of the Dialog Box just under the Elements list). A new Dialog box will pop-up. Select the Delete rows in Destination Tables option and activate the Enable Identity Insert Option. (Remember to repeat this action for each of the selected Element from the list that will be moved.
CAUTION!!! A malfunction of the SQL Server 2005 has been found. Not sure why, after multiple tries I have observed that when I tried to move more than twelve Elements at once, the Export Data Wizard of SQL Server 2005 seemed to disable the Enable Identity Insert Option that was activated over the Edit Mappings Dialog Box. But if the number of the selected Elements is smaller than 12 no problem seemed to appear.
Step 3 Generating Scripts for the Database Foreign Keys and Triggers
Finally, to successfully finish the downgrade of the Database, the Triggers and the Foreign Keys of the DB must be produced. The procedure that should be followed is the one stated next:
1) Right-Click at the SQL 2005 Database and Select from Tasks Menu the Generate Scripts Option.
2) Using the pop-up Dialog Box make sure that the check box Script All Objects in the selected Databases is not enabled and hit the Next Button.
3) Set all the Elements on the List to a False Value except the ones that follow:
a. Include IF NOT EXISTS , set to TRUE
b. Script Owner, set to TRUE
c. Script of SQL Version, set to SQL SERVER 2000
d. Script foreign keys, set to TRUE
e. Script Triggers, set to TRUE
Then Hit the Next button
4) After finishing reading the Elements of the Database, a new list will appear at the Dialog Box. Make sure that you select ONLY THE TABLES of the Database and hit the Next Button.
5) At the screen that follows hit the Select All button and the Next.
6) Select the way the generated scripts should be saved (There are different selections. The most common one is Clipboard). Finally click the Next button till you reach the end.
7) Click Finish Button.
After completing this procedure, we have to move to the SQL SERVER 2000 environment. Here, by using the Query Analyzer, we will have to run the scripts that were generated using the master database. Copy and Paste the script at the Query Analyzer and run it. After that the Foreign Keys and the Triggers of the Database will be created.
After these steps the database should be fully functional under the SQL Server 2000 edition.
Dear Friends,
I am designing a web app using sql server 2005 as a the backend. I have spent an enormous amount of time designing the db tables and ensured that they are normalised. Many, as you would expect have reference to what I would call indexes which are linked via foreign keys. This may be a really dumb question but.....
How do I make a lookup referential table where the integers become categories not an exact reference value (just like we do when we use vlookup in excel)?
Sorry but I am a little confused.....Thanks for your help guys.

Hi there
I am new to SQL Server, but the current project that I am working on has the following requirement:-
1) Migrate the application (a servlet based web application on Apache Tomcat) from Solaris to Wintel
2) Migrate the supporting database from SQL Server 2000 to Sql Server 2005
3) Get IIS to communicate with Tomcat for serving servlet/jsp etc to the client
Though I successfully completed item 1 above, am stuck at item 2. Details are below
Actions taken for item 2
A. Installed MS 2005
B. Created new database in MS 2005 (logged in as user 'sa')
C. Generated SQL scripts (such as create table table_A etc) from existing MS 2000
D. Genearted SQL scripts (such as insert into table_A etc) from existing MS 2000
E. Created new schema in MS 2005
F. Ran scripts C & D in the new schema. All tables are records populated.
G. Obtained new JDBC driver and test run to see if connection is working fine, and it worked. Even ran an sql statment
Code Block[select count(*) from sa.table_A]
and got appropriate response.
H. When I made the application to talk to this new database (which is a copy of Production from step C, D above), it's behaving as though it cannot find the record.
I. When I further debugged, I realised that the web application is excuting queries without mentioning the schema. For eg.
Code Block[Select firstName, lastName from table_A]
Or rather it assumes that the user connecting to database is same as the schema name.
J. To further ascertain my point, I ran the query
Code Block[Select firstName, lastName from sa.table_A]
and it worked!
Now the real problem is that I cannot modify the existing code to append a schema name and this approach is rather not recommended best practise.
I tried to match the user name with the schema name, even made this schema as default to the user. But still not finding any luck.
I request all you experts out there to help me out with this problem.

We plan to convert our current OLTP intensive application from Sybase on NT to SQL 2000.
Which one is the winner in terms of performance. I was told that SQL Server has less tools
to tune the database especially for OLTP intensive database.
Have you done any test comparing the performance between Sybase and SQL server?
What is your opinion on this? Do you know any good third party tools to tune SQL 2000?
Thanks!
I will be migrating Sybase Databases (and Centura) to MS SQL Server Databases. While I have administered MS SQL Server for many years, I have never administrated or even saw a Sybase database. My question, can anyone suggest any books to get me up to speed on Sybase, so I can transfer all databases, including tables, procs, etc... to MS Sql Server?
