We are running SQL 7, using Access 2000 as a front end. Our network person
is wanting to migrate to Windows 2003 (we're currently on Windows 2000), and
wants to know if we should migrate to SQL 2003 at the same time. Are there
major changes between SQL 7 and SQL 2003, and how hard of a task would it be
to migrate our single database to a new version of SQL?
Thanks,
Neil
I've a database in Access 2003 that I want to migrate to SQL CE since Pocket Access is no longer supported.
I've researched extensively this issue to no avail.
Even tried to use the ADS but it's not feasible,
Please, any help is welcomed!
I tried various ways to migrate an access 2003 database with 1 table to
sql Express 2005 Edition without success, I can only find the resulted
sql database in Sql Server Express Edition 2005 without data.
Please advise if any help.
Currently running a SQL 2000 server in 2000 domain and want to migrate it to a new 2003 domain of the same name.
How do I go about it and is there any problems with this plan?
Hi,
I need to import an SQL string from MS Excel 2003 to SQL SERVER 2000.
The string I need to import is composed by 5 different several blocks and looks like:
Code Snippet
CommandLine01 = "USE mydb"
CommandLine02 = "SELECT Block ..."
CommandLine03 = "GO
ALTER TABLE Block...
GO"
CommandLine04 = "UPDATE Block..."
CommandLine05 = "SELECT Block..."
The detail of the SQL string is at:

Machine A is slower to do my nightlybuild (1h 20m) vs. Machine B (50m).I've done no tweaking of the databases. I Used SQL 2005's studio tocopy the database from Machine B to Machine A.The only major difference is the O/S and SQL, the machines are samespeed, however Machine A has twice the memory and faster disk; so Iwould expect it to be faster.Can anyone think of smoking guns I might be missing?TIA

I cannot get the SQL Server Upgrade Wizard to work!!
I have one machine with NT 4 (SP4) and SQL 6.5 and another machine with NT 4 (SP4) and SQL 7.0 (new install, never had SQL 6.5 one it). I want to upgrade a database to 7.0.
Each machine can 'see' the other via shares and even trying to register a SQL database in each other machines Enterprize manager (although that fails because they are different versions of SQL)
Using the Upgrade Wizard, on the third screen, where you specify the Server Name for the export server, it even has the other server's name in the dropdown list {I never even put it in}. And yet, after I set the export server name and put in the database SA account password and then put in the SA account password for the local server (the one that is running the Upgrade Wizard).
After I select next, I get a message that states...
'Unable to connect to Export Server. Please verify that you are an NT administrator on that machine.'
These are standalone servers. Not BDC's. I am logged into each machine as the administrator.
I have tried adjusting the SQL services to allow logging as the System Account and the administrator account and a whole bunch of options....
but I can't get it to work.
HELP!!! This shouldn't be this hard.... should it???
Does creating the tables first before copying the data from 6.5 to 7.0 is the best way to migrate from SQL 6.5 to 7.0?
Thanks in Advance!
I run SQL 6.5 on an NT 4.0 platform in a client/server environment with Windows 95 as the clients. I use VB 6.0 as my user interface with Access 97 utilizing DAO (yes, still DAO) for the ODBC connection to the SQL server. When I install SQL 7.0 and move my data to it, can I refresh my links in Access 97 from ODBC to OLE DB and automatically take advantage of the new connection, or do I have to rewrite my queries to take use OLE DB rather than DAO? Thanks for any suggestions and help.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello People,
I currently have a MS Access database that will eventually be migrated to MS SQL Server. There won't be an application now, just the database and the reports. My doubts are on how easy this transition will be.
1 - After I build all the database with tables and relationships, is there a tool that helps me to import data?
2 - Is there a way to insert the data on the database other than writing the SQL codes, I mean maybe creating some 'forms'?
3 - Once the data is in, it there a way for me to create report on the SQL Server itself or do I need a report generator like Cristal Reports for example;
4 - If yes, then how easy it is to integrate them;
5 - Is it complicated to generate these reports or it is pretty much the same interface as in Access or Delphi?
Thanks a lot

I have an ms sql 2000 db which I am migrating from one shared environment to another. How specifcally can I do this?
I have a copy of enterprise but not a full version of SQL on my local desktop.
The hosting company from which I am moving has placed the db as a zip file on the root of my site via ftp. I have unzipped it and it appears as a backup copy (.bak).
I appreciate any detail steps, I assume via enterprise, that anyone can give me. Thank you.
I am very new to SQL so please bear with me. I have an SQL 2000 server running on Windows 2000 server in an NT4.0 Domain. We are planning to migrate (not upgrade!) everything to a new WIndows 2003 AD environment using ADMT. I wanted to know if there are any issues with the migration of an SQL server if we are to move forward with this strategy. I have heard that an SQL database keeps domain related information within its database and wanted to know if this is true.
Thank you

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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are looking to migrate an entire server with several databases which collectively contain every user in the company. Obviously, I would prefer to directly migrate the logins without having to make everyone reset their own passwords. Anyone know of a way to do this?
I tried dts'ing the syslogins table but it fails due to password collumn being read only.
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?
Thank you

We have a "spanking new" machine to run SQL server and moving the databases over was absolutely no problem.
However, we discovered that we left the user ids and passwords behind.
Is there a way to get them copied from the old database to the new one?
When using the script to transfer logins and passwords from one server to another. After doing so... Does the logins and passwords still appear on the server transfering from??? I am doing a parallel install and need to keep the production database logins and passwords still intact. Thanks...
I did a detach on each database/logs.
Moved to the exact location on the new server.
This is long post but I really want some feedback on this urgently so please hang in there!
I am migrating a SQL Server over to a new server.
I have done the following and although everything appears to be working like a charm I would like to know if there are any gotchas that I have not considered.
These are the steps I used to 'move' the master db.
/*
I restored all the users databases onto the new sesrver from backups of the old (file copies and attaches would also do).
I restored a db named masterbak from a backup of the master on the old server. And again into a second db called masterbak2. I then detach masterbak2. I need to use those files later on.
So at this point I now have all the user databases that the old server had but I dont have logins, extended stored proc defs, and any user objects that were created in the old master.
Now I want to put all those missing things into the new master db. These are the steps that I used to achieve this.
*/
-- where doing open heart on sys tables so need this turned on
EXEC sp_configure 'allow updates' , 1
reconfigure WITH OVERRIDE
-- remove all database defs from the copy of the old master
delete masterbak..sysdatabases
-- and load it with all the database defs from the new master
INSERT INTO [masterbak].[dbo].[sysdatabases]([name], [dbid], [sid], [mode], [status], [status2], [crdate], [reserved], [category], [cmptlevel], [filename])
SELECT [name], [dbid], [sid], [mode], [status], [status2], [crdate], [reserved], [category], [cmptlevel], [filename]

-- remove all the servers defined in the copy of the old master

*/
/*
now stop the SQL server instance;
rename the physical files master.mdf and mastlog.ldf to masterORIG.mdf and mastlogOrig.ldf
rename masterbak.mdf and mastlogbak.ldf to master.mdf and mastlog.ldf.
rename masterbak2.mdf and mastlogbak2.ldf to masterbak.mdf and mastlogbak.ldf.
I wanted to preserve the new master files so didnt rename to masterbak but I suppose you could.
Start up SQL server and everything should be fine.
Configuration settings are as expected, databases started up ok and file locations are ok, logins both SQL and NT are ok, all master user objects are present.
User and login SIDs match.
A linked server access that was setup failed but after redoing security on the linked server it was ok? Sysoledbusers holds the security for this but not sure about this one.
Important:
You need to check sql log for any errors.
It should be clean.
If you have auto start procs that reference reg keys that are not on the new server you with be told which key is missing and you can export key from old server and import into new server.
Dlls of course will need to come accross but again error messages will indicate the dll that is missing and its path.
So we now have a server that starts up clean but its of a different name of the original of course and since we have a myarid of external servers etc that depend on the server name we are going to keep the old name as well.
So now we change the server name, requires reboot, start up QA and logging into to each 'new' instance name, run the following
-- 'SQLSERV02 -> SQLSERV01'
sp_helpserver
sp_dropserver 'SQLSERV02'
sp_addserver 'SQLSERV01', local
and that should be that.
you might get this :
-- Server: Msg 15190, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_dropserver, Line 44
-- There are still remote logins for the server 'SQLSERV02'.
sp_configure 'allow updates',1
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
-- have a look at it
select srvid from master.dbo.sysservers where srvname = 'SQLSERV02'
select * from master.dbo.sysxlogins
where srvid = 0 and
not(ishqoutmap = 1 and
xstatus&192 = 192 and
sid is null and
name is null and
password is null)
-- get rid of it
delete master.dbo.sysxlogins
where srvid = 0 and
not(ishqoutmap = 1 and
xstatus&192 = 192 and
sid is null and
name is null and
password is null)
sp_configure 'allow updates',0
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
My last step is to get all those jobs and log shipping over to the new server. And I have not yet done this so am not sure if any further open heart is required.
But the theory is that I just need to restore an msdb taken from the old server.
Naturally you will need to put in place the same file path structure on the new server for those scripts / jobs that create files on disk - such as backup files.
I will find out about msdb soon enough as this is going down tonight.
Can anyone see any obvious gotchas in this method?
cheers and thanks for your feedback

Thanks in advance.
I have big list of jobs on MSX Box - A. Most of those jobs has multiple target server on it. I have to migrate those jobs to new box (new hardware platform). The goal is to migrate everything over to new and decommision old one. If I generate scripts "with Target Server" option, can I run that script on to the new box while both are on-line with two different server name? In other words, can one slave server be a target to two different MSX machine?
This is very urgent for me to get it done, as our old machine is dying and all the jobs are very business critical. Please respond as soon as you can.

Hello All ~
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.
One issue that we are facing while migrating our dts packages from development to test is that in all our DTS package tasks, every object used is prefixed with the database name. For eg. in a Data Transformation task the Destination object has the prefix dw_dev.dbo.dw_user. This is causing problems as our database name in development and test is different and our packages are not running.
I understand that one can change this property in the Set Connection Task by changing the Source/Destination Object property to the new databse name and running the task. However that would involve changing the source and destination names in all the data pump tasks in all packages.
Is there an easier way to do this?
Thanks in advance
Is there anyway to copy all the DTS packages and jobs in one step from one server to another. I usvally copy one DTS package at a time. As our packages count grown bigger, it became a painful process.
If anyone knows a way to copy these packages and jobs in one then it would be very helpful.
Thanks

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.
