Migrating A Db From SSE 2005 December CTP To SSE 2005 Release Version
Feb 22, 2007
I have a developer who built an application using the SSE 2005 December CTP and I would like to bring the db's into the official SSE 2005 released version. I have attempted the following:
1. Create the db's in the released version, detach and re-attach the CTP db's. I got an error telling me they were incompatible.
2. Installed CTP version on one server, backed up the db's and then attempted to restore the db's on another server running the official released version of SSE 2005. Got an error attempting that too.
3. Installed the Management Studio for SS 2005 Developer edition thinking that I could connect to the two seperate instances of each server and like I could in EM 2000 run the transfer wizard to move the db's and data from one server to the next. Problem with this is that I can't get an object browser connection established. I have TCP/IP all config'd correctly, too.
Any other ideas where I can go with this at this time?
if I try to install SP 2 using SQL Server authentification (sa) it fails. The following lines appear in the file "Hotfix.log":
01/03/2007 14:08:23.859 Authenticating user using SAPWD 01/03/2007 14:08:23.875 Validating database connections using Windows Authentication 01/03/2007 14:08:24.171 Pre-script database connection failed - continuing to wait for SQL service to become responsive to connection requests ... repeated 60 times ... 01/03/2007 14:13:33.625 The following exception occurred: SQL Server reagiert nicht vor der Skriptausführung Date: 01/03/2007 14:13:33.609 File: depotsqlvaultstablesetupmainl1setupsqlsesqlsedllinstance.cpp Line: 1411
Why does it try to use Windows Authentification although I have told it to use SQL Server Authentification (Windows Authentification has been disabled in this Database Instance)?
I downloaded the 101 Samples installation (i.e. 101SamplesCS.msi) from Microsoft's website, which contains SQL Server database files.
While working with the databases in the "Data Access" samples from the 101 Samples projects, I get the following error:
"Database <mdf_name> cannot be upgraded because its non-release version (600) is not supported by this version of SQL Server. You cannot open a database that is incompatible with this version of sqlservr.exe. You must re-create the database..."
I assume the database files were created with a beta or CTP version of SQL Server 2005. Does anyone know where I can get an updated version of these database files or scripts to update them?
Do you now, How can I move database with datas to release version of sql server? Procedores backup/restore can't help becouse of unsuported version database.
Is there a way to tell what release of SQL Server 2005 is installed without the management studio? I was working on a server with SQL 2005 installed, but I wasn't sure if it was full or express. The person who installed SQL didn't include the management studio. Thanks in advance.
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?
does anybody know when SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 will be released?
We are currently encountering a lot of problems with replication. We have seen that the different SP2 Cumulative Updates are fixing a lot of replication troubles... but as they are not fully tested, we do not want to install them on our production servers.

I am doing an upgrade of SQL Server from Beta 3 release to the release version. I will appreciate if I get some information , some tips that I should follow which will make my task simpler. The database is very critical and big. It has huge amounts of stored procedures. If you can tell me any site which gives information regarding this that will be also helpful..
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 have a database created on SQL Server 2005 and now I would like to migrate the table structure to a SQL Server 2005 Mobile database. Generating the scripts and running them against the mobile database generates a lot of error that I suppose are caused by not supported features or keywords on the mobile engine.
I would like to know what are the best procedure for doing such migration. Note that this has nothing to do with replicating, since the SQL Server 2005 database will be "discontinued" after the migration.
I want to move my sql express DB to a sql 2005 server located at a service provider. I can detach or back, but I am limited on attaching or restoring the DB because the servers are on two limted/seperated networks.
Is scripting an idea? I have SQL manager 2005 running.
we have a backup of a database from a release version with version number 9.00.1399 and we wanted to restore it to a server with version number (9.00.1116) CTP release. we were issued a version incopatibility message. is it possible to backup from a 9.00.1399 release with a backup file compatible for a CTP release, is there an available option during backup? thanks!
I'm trying to upgrade the Default Instance of MSDE 2000 Release A which is installed with Mixed Mode and strong password to SQL Server 2005 Express in a Windows 2000 Server with SP4. On the Upgrade Logon Information screen, if I select SQL Server Authentication Mode, it will give me this message:
SQL Server Setup Cannot Upgrade the specified instance by using SQL Server Credential. You must use Windows Authentication credential for the upgrade.
When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.
How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?
Currently, if I run this query:
SELECT @@version
I get the following:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.
Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:
I installed Visual Studio 2005 Professional then after that was installed and running, I tried to install the the SQL Server 2005 Developer's Edition which installed but I do not get the SQL Server 2005 Studio Manager. I have remove and reinstalled but it never gets installed. Any ideas?
Hey y'all, I'm looking to migrate several databases on SQL 7 and SQL 2000 to a new SQL 2005 box. Has anyone done such a migration? What would you recommend as a good methodology for it? Also, should I expect stored procedures, triggers, indexes, other complementary stuff to break? I'd love to hear about your migration experiences.
We are planning on upgrading a SQL 7 Server to 2005 SP1. I ran the Update Advisor and one of the issues listed was that the Database Maintenance Plan would not work in Server 2005. The Advisor mentions a tool to use but not which one, which is my first question.
I went online and found some documentation regarding copying the database etc., however, when attempting to copy from the SQL 2000 (DB in SQL 7) to 2005 (I have SQL 2000 and 2005 on my machine) when I try and connect to the 2005 box, its listed as one of the instances but will not connect.
For grins and kicks I backed the database up in the 2000 environment and restored it on a test machine which is in 2005. The Advisor was correct, I am unable to create a Database Maintenance Plan, which I find odd. The Database shows up under the databases but will not show up in the list of db's to create a plan for. So, I attempted to create the jobs and alerts manually.
There has to be an easier way to do this, can anyone help?
I have a SQL7 server that runs one database for our company. The rest of the datastore is on a SQL2005 server. How best can I transfer the SQL7 database to SQL2005?????

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
Help. I have been tasked with upgrading a 2000 instance to 2005.I have actually done this before, but it was a long time ago, and Ididn't do it alone. Now, the sitation is little different, and I needto know the EXACT steps to take.Does anyone have a FAQ or link that outlines migration steps? I foundone on sql server central, but it isn't very detailed.One of the important things I need to know is, how do I create arollback plan if I am upgrading from 2000 to 2005 on the same server(instance)?Also, why can't I seem to find a comprehensive list of TO DO's whenupgrading? Doesn't microsoft provide this? You would think so. I willrun upgrade advisor first, but isn't there also documentationsomewhere?I seem to recall lots of permissions issues that arose with 2005.HELPThanks
Hello guys, I have vry basic question. I'm migrating from 2000 to 2005. MY question is do we have to recode all packages or just migrating of old 2000 DTS is fine. If so, then I can see only small icon of DTS package in 2005, whihc is not showing the details of DTS. Kindly, explain me what do i really do, migrating old one or re-creating new in 2005. Thanks in Advance
