I am trying to migrate data from a DB2 database to SQL Server 2005
database. Does anyone know about any migration tool that does that? I
have heard about DB2 Migration Tool kit, but I think you can only
migrate data to a DB2 database with that. Thank you.

HiI need to import data from StarOffice 5.2 spreadsheets to aDatawarehouse built in SQL Server and I wan to know what is the bestway to do it. I think I have the next options:- Create a java app using StarOffice api- Use StarOffice Automation (I'm not shure if its possible in version5.2)Is this right?Exist some ODBC driver for *.sdc files?Exist other option?Which option is the most recommended?Thanks
I'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?
Hi, I am looking for a way to transfer data from sql server to sql server ce. I am using sql server management studio express wich has no export/import wizard. How can I accomplish this task? are there any tools available? thanks
Hi all, We have access database with lots of data in it. I want to move all the dat to the new database which has completely differenet database structure (e.g different tables, different rows). What I was thinking is that there are 2 ways. one is manually, which will take long tome probably, and the other is to rum queries that will move the data from access to the new sql express. The question is how to that. I know that I used onw CSV files exported for ms access, but now the queries will be much more complex and I will use more then one table for te query. How can I query from 2 different databases, which from one I read data(access), and from the other I write data (express)? Thanks alot.
I have to migrate a database from 6.5 to 7.0 server. We don't have an upgrade wizard to i will have to do a turn around like :
> Scripting the objects > Running the scripts in 7.0 > BCP out the data into 7.0.
But the problem lies here ! how do i BCP the whole database table data in one shot ? bcos i have a lot of tables in the database and i cannot afford to do a table at a time. If anyone has any script which creates pl do pass it on to me.
I have to migrate datat from my table to my accounting system. The table fields of the accounting system are different from my sql table and the Acc sys accepts only .DBF files. I would have to migrate the data daily.So my question is: whats the best approach for doing this work.Should I create a nother table in Sql Server with the field names as the dbf file and write a SP to get all the data from another tabel into this one and then using export wizard to export data into a dbf file. Or is there any better appraochregards
I am looking for a way to migrate my data from a MySQL database to a SQL2005 Express data base. All of my MySQL Schemas only have 1 or 2 tables in them so I would imagine that it isn't that hard to do. I treid just exporting it to a CSV file with the intention of just using import/export in MSSQL but in the express edition, it ain't there. Like I stated all of my schemas are only 1 or two tables none are linked in any way they are independant table and the most records any one of the tables contain is around 250. Any suggestions?
I have a source sql 2005 with the database collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS and destination with sql 2012 with the same collation.
But the SQL server llvel collation is different, sql 2005 uses Latin1_General_CI_AI and sql 2012 uses "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS"
Now when i load the data from 2005 for one table to sql 2012 i could see special characters in one column. And i dont see that in the source database. Is there a way to avoid that or is it something we need to manually fix.
I'm trying to get a database from SQL2005 to SQL2000. I already recreated the database in SQL2005 and I'm just trying to get some data from just a few tables.
It doesn't appear the DTS or any export functionality is available in my version of SQL Express 2005...so how do I do this. I've tried installing everything I can find.
I've also tried BCP but I keep getting these errors:
SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 53 Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [53]. SQLState = HYT00, NativeError = 0 Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Login timeout expired SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 53 Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
This is a LOCAL database and I have tried -T for trusted, I have also tried a username and password combination. The database is set to Allow Remote connections. Nothing is working.
I have a 2-node cluster environment & I am planning to replace it with new hardware. Currently I am using MSA1000 Disk arrays. Now I would like to move my storage to SAN.
What are the necessary pre-requisite and actions to do this. Any particular thing, I must take care in planning.
When I try to migrate a database on a SQL Server 2000 server to a SQL Server 2005 server with the Copy Database Wizard of the SQL Server Management Studio, I'm confronted with the following problem;
Performing operation...
- Add log for package (Success) - Add task for transferring database objects (Success) - Create package (Success) - Start SQL Server Agent Job (Success) - Execute SQL Server Agent Job (Error) Messages * The job failed. Check the event log on the destination server for details. (Copy Database Wizard)
When I take a look at 'Event viewer' on the SQL 2005 server, the following error is displayed;
InnerException-->An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
I already enabled the MSSQLSERVER network configuration protocols (TCP/IP and Named Pipes ).
I've developed a website and it's hosted by a hosting company. Lately i've registered a new domain with a new virtual hosting account. I've transfered my web files succesfully. But migrating the sql server failed for a couple of times now. My database containes many tables with many products. My hosting provides doesn't give me the opportuniy to restore my backup which i've backuped from my old server. First I tried to use the import and export tool of sql server 2005. This was very easy and it succeeded. But this tool only migrates the tables and the views. All the common stored procedures of asp.net membership are not exported. So I can't login at the moment. I've tried to generate a sql script with all the stored procedures with sql server management studio. But If i want to run this script on my new db, it fails with various errors. I tried to use the aspnet_regsql tool to create all the membership tables and stored procedures. If this succeeds, I can import and export my old db to the new one. But i'm getting a error while trying to use the aspnet_regsql tool. The error number is 290 and the error is: How can I fix this? Er is een fout opgetreden bij het uitvoeren van het SQL-bestand InstallMembership.sql.

Hello! We are planning migrating to different server. I know the answers how to migrate all jobs and DTS packages. But the only question I have is "How to migrate logins and passwords?"
What is the best way to transfer logins? Can't you just export syslogins table into text file and then import it into the new server?
HI all, Could any one pls suggest me, how i have to migrate to sql server 7.0 from db2. Pls also recommend some sites where will i get the information regarding this migration. Thank you all.
We use MS Access 2000 as our database, but run into lots of proplems. So we decided to research the migration to SQL Server.
I used Access Upsizing utitlity to migrate tables and their data to SQL server very easily, and all the relationships, indecies and other information are converted correctly.
Next is to migrate the queries. I found that to be a pain. Is there any tool out there that can do it for me? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Once that's done, then it's the application itself, but I am not worrying that for now.
I have another question regarding migration process to diffrent SQL Server.
Last time when I did migration I didn't restore system databases (master in particular). I only restored user databases and of course I've got login errors such Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000) Error 15023: User or role '%s' already exists in the current database. I just used sp_change_users_login to fix those orphans.
I've read articles in MS knowledge base and not quite sure is this a good idea to restore master database prior to restoring all user databases on the new server in order to keep all logins?
I'll try to use recommended article for transfering logins with password instead of restoring master database from backup http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q246/1/33.ASP
I am migrating MS SQL Server 6.5 databases to a new server and wanted to create the data & log devices differently than they are on the old box. My dbcc checks are giving me 2558 errors because my devices weren't built the same size in the same order. I thought if I didn't copy the master, I didn't have to rebuild the database exactly the same. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to rebuild different device sizes and do a successful restore ? Thanks in advance !
I have a program that uses ADO to read/write to/from an Oracle back-end database. I'm hoping that given the underlying schema is the same, I can simply change the database driver I'm using and use a SQL Server database instead. Has anyone migrated an application using ADO from Oracle to SQL ? Are there any issues/problems/tips that I should be aware of ?
I need to move all existing dbs to a new server. One of the database is over 90GB in size. If I plan to use to restore database option, should I restore all user database first, then the system databases(master, msdb) or should I restore the system database first and the user databases second?? Thanks.
I got a project of moving a web site of one a firm from one ISP machine to another ISP machine. They are using Cold Fusion with SQL Server as the database. I am new to SQL Server. I want some tips on how to migrate the database from one machine to another.
The Setup: I'm moving a SQL Server 7 Database from a SQL Server sp'd somewhere between 3 and 4 (7.00.1028) to a SQL Server without any service packs. The old machine is a Dell PowerEdge 2400 (about 3 years old) and the new machine is a Dell PowerEdge 2650 with dual gigabit nics (and I have them teamed). Both machines run Windows 2000 Server. Mostly default installation on both the OS and SQL Server.
The Problem: When I restore the database to the new server (and resolve the orphaned login issues, etc.) the server hangs unbelievably. Most of my users can't even connect, much less work in their vb apps. I can ping the machine, but can't run the simplest T-SQL against it.
Hope somebody can help a novice, so I can impress my boss.
I've got to move a database to a new server and I'm trying to use Gregory A Larsen's sp_help_revlogin script http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/2228611.
It works perfectly for all users, but I want to limit it to one database by using his suggestion shown on that page:
SELECT sid, name, xstatus, password FROM master..sysxlogins Your_db..sysusers b on a.sid = b.sid WHERE srvid IS NULL AND name <> 'sa'
However, when I make the changes, so it looks like this:
SELECT sid, name, xstatus, password FROM master..sysxlogins a join int_test..sysusers b on a.sid = b.sid WHERE srvid IS NULL AND name <> 'sa'
I get this error when I try to run it:
Server: Msg 209, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_help_revlogin, Line 12 Ambiguous column name 'sid'. Server: Msg 209, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_help_revlogin, Line 12 Ambiguous column name 'name'. Server: Msg 209, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_help_revlogin, Line 12 Ambiguous column name 'password'. Server: Msg 209, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_help_revlogin, Line 12 Ambiguous column name 'name'.
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong.
The database that I want to limit the script/procedure to is called int_test on the same server, and I've checked that the table sysusers does exist, and that it has a column called name.
