Hi Friends,
I am doing my final semester project. It is a migration tool that converts the DB2 PL dialect into MSSQL Server's T-SQL dialect.
I am in need of sample DB2 PL files(procedures, UDFs, triggers) for testing the tool. Please point out me to some DB2 files repository links or if you have some files, please give me the same. I will use this only for testing purposes.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks & Regards,
Jake
I've been tasked to move our production databases on MSSQL 2000 to 2005. I've supported MSSQL since version 6.5 and performed migrations to successor versions.
Current Environment is MSSQL 2000 32-bit with current Service Packs.
I've performed mock migrations on Test servers upgrading all Production instances simultaneously from MSSQL 2000 to 2005 32-bit. The Test environment is identical to Production minus server name, IP etc. Also I have a separate server with MSSQL 2005 installed where I use the DETACH / ATTACH and BACKUP / RESTORE method for migration / acceptance testing. There are approximately 30 databases totaling 70 GB. This has gone as expected and fairly successful. Vendors have been coordinated with to update code and staff for acceptance testing.
I'd prefer going directly to MSSQL 2005 64-bit instead if possible due to memory benefits etc. This is where I'd like some feedback prior to borrowing a 64-bit server for testing.
Upgrade options:
1. Is it better to migrate from MSSQL 2000 32-bit to 2005 64-bit via:
a. DETACH / ATTACH
b. BACKUP / RESTORE
c. Is one method more advantageous relating to the end result?
2. Regarding XP clients, have issues been experienced with the default SQL Server driver or is an alternate recommended for XP clients to connect to a MSSQL 64-bit server databases?
3. If you have performed this migration and have relevant experience please pass them along.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI€™m currently evaluating SQL Server 2005 to what advantages there would be to upgrading from SQL Server 2000. Our existing systems make much use of DTS so it critical for us to be able to run SQL Server 2000 DTS packages in SQL Server 2005. Having installed the Enterprise SQL Server 2005 CTP successfully on a new Windows 2003 server and following the advice to install Legacy Components I find the Migration Wizard (under Legacy> Data Transformation Services) fails with the following error after entering source and target dialogs: This wizard will close because it encountered the following error: Additional Information: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index (mscorlib) Also when trying to open a structured storage DTS file I incur another error: Unable to load DTS 2000 Runtime. This component may have not been installed (Microsoft.SqlServer.DtsObjectExplorerUI) This error seems to imply that the DTS 2000 Runtime needs installing. Can this component be downloaded and installed separately?

Hello,
I have a client that is moving their web ap (which has already been developed) from one host to their own servers. The problem is that they don't have MS SQL Server 2000, but they have MSDE. All the code is already writen to work with SQL SERVER 2000.
I have a couple of questions:
1. Can I safely assume that all this code will work with MSDE and all I have to change is the connection string? For example:
SqlConnection myConn = new SqlConnection(connstring);
In other words, can I still use the SqlClient classes to work with MSDE, or will I have to modify the code?
2. Will it be a problem creating the tables and migrating the data from SQL SERVER to MSDE? Can I use Enterprise Manager to do this?
3. I never had to remotely (or even locally) connect to a MSDE database alone, I always develop with a SQL Server db. Can I use a similar connection string for the MSDE database? Do I have to create a data provider on the local machine? Can you give me an example of a MSDE connection string?
OK so I'm just the Network Admin here, but our DBA's are off doing other stuff. So I thought I may inquire here about how the easiest way to migrate from SQL Server 2000 to 2005? The first server I'd like to migrate is just databases with a few users, no DTS packages or anything like that... The only problem is that there are several hundred db's, so moving them one at a time is not an option. Has anyone here had successful experience with doing this? Thanks in advance for your help!

I have a fairly large web application that was built with SQL Server 2000 and .NET 1.1. We're planning on moving to .NET 2.0 eventually, but there's a lot of work to be done before that happens. In the short term, we're looking to purchase a new database server and would like to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 at the same time. Is it as simple as recreating our databases on this new system and changing the connection string, or are there other gotchas? As far as what we're doing with SQL Server 2000, it's really nothing more than tables, views, and stored procedures. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi,
I have been asked to look at optimising a Data Migration Strategy for one of our clients. I am quite new to Data Migration (I'm actually a system designer!).
The migration is from a legacy Oracle 7.16 Db to a SQL Server 2000 environment.
The legacy Db has some large tables - 30 Million+ rows
Table/column Mapping is 1:1
At present we are using DTS to import into the SQL environment.
My question is: Is there any way to leverage the Oracle 7.16 export to speed up the migration process?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Mike
The Environment:
I have an old Windows 2000 BackOffice server (Retail but with no media) that hosts a small database (<50mb) that is hosted on the local SQL Server 2000 installation. The network has 8 PCs that connect to the database via ODBC connections. I just purchased a new server running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition (OEM).
What I€™m Trying to Accomplish:
I want to decommission the old 2000 BackOffice server and move the database to the new 2003 Standard server. I€™m trying to do this on the cheap, so I really want to avoid spending thousands on a new SQL server license.
Things I€™m Considering:
1) Migrating the database from SQL 2000 Standard to SQL 2005 Express
2) Moving the database from SQL 2000 Standard to MS Access
3) Purchasing SQL Server 2005 licenses and upgrading
4) Purchasing SQL 2000 Server licenses
The options are pretty much listed in my order of preference. I€™d like to move from SQL 2000 Server to SQL 2005 Express, but I haven€™t really found a lot of material on the subject since people customarily go the other way.
Any advice or alternative recommendations would be much appreciated!
Scenario
Recently moved a SQL2000 database to SQL2005.
Collation on SQL 2000 database server was SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
Colaltion on SQL 2005 database server is Latin1_General_CI_AS
After restoring the SQL 2000 database on SQL 2005 we observed that the database collation was SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. We have altered the database collation to Latin1_General_CI_AS. We understand this will work for all new objects created on the database but existing objects (prior to the collation change) will continue to have the 'SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS' collation.
What is the best method to change the collation of the older columns to 'Latin1_General_CI_AS' -
1) Run ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN <colname> <datatype> COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS <nullability>
on each varchar/char column
or
2) For each table
BCP out data
DROP TABLE
RECREATE TABLE (taking the new collation Latin1_General_CI_AS)
BCP in data
3) Other methods?
Thanks in advance

hi, i need some help here,i made a simple data driven website in my development PC, at first, i used MS Access for my data base then i migrate it to sql server express 2005, and it works fine when i try to run it in my development PC with my IIS. but of course i will be deploying it to a real server, in our office were i will deploy my data driven site, we have a PC server Win Server 2003 with SQL Server 2000 Enterprise (im not pretty sure by the name but i know its not a free version, its something like a 2000 sql version with a word enterprise at the end).so my question is, i am developing an ASPdotNET site originally used SQL server 2005 express,how can i migrate my site to the Win Server 2003 and my database from SQL Server 2005 express to SQL server 2000 enterprisewill it work?? if not, what are the possible solution that i can do in cases like mine?i used Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Ed. in making my sites, and its DOES NOT allow databases in SQL Server 2000!!!!!it says "can't recognize the database"i hope you can help me with this.Thanks-SALAMAT PO....=)
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am a bit new to the MSSQL server. In our application, we use so many SQL queries. To imporve the performance, we used the Database enigine Tuning tool to create the indexes. The older version of the application supports MSSQL 2000 also. To re-create these new indexes, I have an issue in running these "CREATE INDEX" commands as the statements generated for index creation are done in MSSQL 2005. The statements include "INCLUDES" keyword which is supported in MSSQL 2005 but not in MSSQL 2000.
Ex:-
CREATE INDEX IND_001_PPM_PA ON PPM_PROCESS_ACTIVITY
(ACTIVITY_NAME ASC, PROCESS_NAME ASC, START_TIME ASC, ISMONITORED ASC)
INCLUDE
(INSTANCE_ID, ACTIVITY_TYPE, STATUS, END_TIME, ORGANIZATION);
Any help in creating such indexes in 2000 version is welcome.
Thanks,
Suresh.

Hi
Our costumer is going to install new hardware.
Actually he is using 2 servers which both have windows 2000 server (+ AD) and sql server 2000 installed. On the new servers he will use windows 2003 and sql server 2005 The hard part will be migrating sql server 2000 to sql server 2005. I have read (not 100%, though) the SQL2005UpgradeTechRef document and downloaded SQLUASetup.exe to be ready (microsoft sql server upgrade analyzer software)
But actually i want to know what is best upgrade path and what are your experience. Is there already a got (or better or perfect) document availabe for the sql server 2000 to sql server 2005 sql server side by side upgrade. Please help! thanks
Hello Gurus:
My database is running right now at SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition. We would like to upgrade it to SQL server 2005 Standard Edition.
Since this database was upgraded from MS Access 2000 to SQL server 2000. This database is accessed by a proprietary application. I don't know some of the details about this application.
There is one more issue with this database, replication was implemented earlier and now it is disabled.
I am thinking that to take a full backup from SQL server 2000 and restore it in SQL server 2005. What do you think?
Please let me know if you have any other idea.
I have another question for you. Right now replication is disabled and I restore SQL server 2000 database to SQL server 2005. Would there be any problem when we try to implement replication again?
Thanks in advance.

Arunesh

Hi I'm an experienced programmer, but just don't have much experience with ASP or MSSQL. I inherited a website and now need to set up an automated backup system for a fairly large (40MB) MSSQL database hosted by a 3rd party provider of reasonable quality with ASP and SQL Server 2000. Let's avoid ASP.NET solutions since the website I inherited is written in "straight up" ASP (old school).
I have access to the database, login etc. I'm thinking I should combine an ASP script with the database connectivity and write daily/weekly backups to a dir on the hosting server.
Where do I begin? Tools? Examples?
Thanks for any assistance.

Hello,
I've got a weird problem that started today on our SQL server at work. Apparently the transaction logs filled up for one DB, and SQL server decided to create 230 gb of errors on the subject, filling my D: drive. Well, I had no problem deleting the error logs and truncating the transaction logs, but my Enterprise Manager MMC will no longer function.
Search results turned up a fix that worked for most people, but not for me. So I'm pretty sure I've got no choice but to reinstall over-the-top. But, will this cause any loss of existing databases (obviously back them up first), users/security, and scheduled tasks (db backups, etc)?
I'd like to do minimal damage to this thing because there are several DB's set up from before my time, and I don't have time to manage this thing completely (as you might have guessed, no one really manages things here). Any help is appreciated.
