Hi
I am doing sql 2000 to 2005 migration.
I am following the back up and restore method to do the migration.
After migration i run a script to transfer logins and passwords from sql 2000 to sql 2005 as in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/246133/
After migration I need to assign a database role created to a login /user .I need to do this through scripting.

Hi All,
We are planning to move from sql server 2000 and sql server 2005.
Just want to know how well is the backward compatibility and
things that we should take care of before migration.
Thanks in advance..!!!
I have to migrate our existing SQL Server 2000 (standard edition) running on Windows 2000 server (32 bit) to a new windows 2003 server (64 bit) (SQL 2005 standard edition). I am thinking of doing this migratin after hours (or may be on weekend so a
I have planned the following steps (in order).
1. Install SQL Server 2005 on new server.(windows authenticatin and a SQL server will be running on a separate domain account)
2. Download SQL server upgrade advisor on current SQL Server 2000 (windows 2000) and run a report.
3. Back up (Full) SQL Server 2000
4. Script logins and schedule tasks on SQL 2000
5. Restore database on SQL 2005
6. Create jobs by runing Jobs scripit on SQL 2005
7. Create users and passwords by running the exported script file.
Please refer to:
How to transfer logins and passwords between instances of SQL Server
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/246133/en-us
I am aware that I might face issues of
db compatibility level, statistics out of date so I need to update statistics and may be redindex all my tables
PLEASE LET ME Know if I am missing something obvious? Not sure about our existing DTS packages? Any information. Right now I am just thiking of running all my existing 2000 DTS in 2005 as legacy
Note: Rob, Tara, Michael Valentine Jones, Mladen or Nigel , if you cam provide some input from your wealth of experience on this matter. I would sincerely appreciate it.
HiWe are going to upgrade from SQL 2002 to 2005. We have approx. 100mrows of data on the main table and hand of stored procs and views.What we had in mind was that we would dts the data out, script thestored procs and view out and import the it back into SQL 2005.Is there smarter way of doing this?The key thing is that the data must be cleanThanks

Thanks in advice for answers.

We are currently on SQL Server 2000. We have another server that has SQL SERVER 2005. The exisiting SQL SERVER 2005, is a production server, used for Reports in SSRS 2005 In the next 2 mths, we need to migrate our dbs to SQL Server 2005. First off, I would like to TEST and ensure all the dbs/pkgs etc run fine in 2005 before I go live .
I need to know how do I get started with TESTING this, i.e. how do I move the dbs from existing 2000 server to sql server 2005?
Hi SQL Community,
Looking a preparing a SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 Migration Plan to include the following points. It will be a side-by-side migration where the current environment will run in parallel with the new.
1. Assessment of current SQL 2000 environment. (Hardware, Databases, SQL components such as DTS)
2. Seqence for Steps to perform duing the migration
3. Required resources
4. TimelinesAnyone have such as plan?

Hi
I am trying to migrate Databases from MS SQL 2000 (server A) to MS sql 2005 (server B).
The problem i have when i use database copy wizard is that it gives an error and the login will not be migrated .
I tried backup and restore of the databases as well as detach and attach.All cases the logins will have a problem.
For example say for database intranet all the tables stored procedures etc gets migrated but under security >>users (say intrauser) i double click user and the the login name wont appear .and when i try to close the window it says login name must be specified(SQLmanagerUI)
Please help.
Not that I am expecting anything to be done about this, but why did MS make the SQL 2005 Upgrade Advisor so unfriendly and slow for people that are doing a simple migration? Our organization is migrating everything from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 one database at a time, and I have the responsibility of running the advisor and checking if there are any MIGRATION ISSUES. We are not concerned with the DTS Packages at this time, because we are doing a side-by-side migration. I do not need the Advisor to check the DTS packages (and even though I tell the Advisor not to, it still does), nor do I need it to check the SQL Server for Upgrade Issues every time I need to check a different database. The worst problem is that I cannot save the reports in a custom location for each database and strip out the useless information that I do not require.
Why can't we get a MIGRATION WIZARD that ONLY checks the Database for problems when doing a side-by-side migration? This would probably save me 1-3 minutes per database and we have about well over the 400 mark with production databases.
Thanks for any answers you can provide. Thanks!!

Greetings,
I am using SQL Server 2005 and I want a clue if there is some good built-in support to do the following.
I want to transfer all the data from one source database to another destination database having same number to tables and schema like source database. I also want to ensure that the old data on the destination database should be secure too.
I have an idea that this can be done through SSIS in coding but can anyone give me a guide, tip, link, sample code that can be helpful.
Thanx a million in advance.

Hi all,
i was just thrown into SQL stuff at my job. For now I need to complete a migration, but soon i'm being sent to training to make sure that I can do this easier later. Heres my question
I backed up the database, then restored it to the new server. That worked fine. I couldn't log in...so i did some searching and found out about the sp_change_users_login command, I got my login fixed and I can log in. Now, I have about 1000 other users to change and I don't want to do those manually. Noone is using this database, so if needed, I could back it up and restore it differnetly if needed or If someone can give me a .sql file to run to fix all usernames and tell me how to run a .sql (i'm that new to it) that would be REALLY appreciated. Anyway, thanks in advance, looking forward to SQL administration.

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!

Hi all. I'll say from the get go that I'm no SQL guru. I'm primarily a web dev who has been given the data jobs kind of by default so I'm definitely no DBA.
Anyway, having established my noobness, I have encountered an issue. The employer recently decided to upgrade our databases from 2000 to 2005 and I have been tasked to migrate the data from old to new. I have discovered the Import/Export Wizard and got it to move all the data in a dev database we use...but there was one problem. It seems that the tables in 2000 that had columns designated as identity columns do not have the identity attribute when they arrive in 2005.
I haven't figured a way to alter them to give them that attribute once they're in 2005 so I'm wondering if there's something I can do/change in the import process that would retain the identity property of the columns if I were to re-import them.
This is my first migration attempt so dumping it and starting over is no great loss...but any help would be most appreciated.
I am trying to migrate few of my SQL jobs to SQL2K5. Can I simply script and execute them on the new environment. I hope the script is forward compatible.

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.

Hello,
I have been made the point person for our migration to SQL2005. We are a law firm with approximately 750 users. The first SQL environment we will be upgrading is our document management system (DMS). This is an intensive SQL product. After this migration we will more of to our finical system, records system and then all home grown databases.
What we would like to do is consolidate servers and scale out the new SQL environment to a farm. After some initial research it does not look like we will be able to scale out, since the data in the DMS is always changing.
Does anyone have some advice or guidance on what direction we should be looking? I have done tons a online searches and can find out information on everything to do with SQL, except this.
Thanks in advance,

Hi all,
We migrated our database from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. But we faced some problems, according to the requirements of our project we dont want to apply some constraints on some fields of some tables. But when we run the database script of our old database on SQL 2005, it applied many constraints which causing some serious problems in our project. There are about 100+ tables in our database and some one told me that we have to false every constraint manually. Now, my question is that is there any solution of our this problem.
Best Regards
Hi
Do we need to perform any special checks when we deploy SQL Server application developed using 32 bit SQL 2005 Edition in 64 bit SQL 2005 Edition?
To my understanding, 64 bit SQL Server 2005 provides better memory management and provides high performance when compared to 32 bit and it should not be an issue in deploying the application developed in 32 bit SQL Server 2005 in 64 bit environment.
Any help/hints on deploying in 64 bit SQL Server (for a product[SPs, TSQL Stmts] developed using 32 bit SQL Server) is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi. Wondered if I might get a bit of advice on a minor collation problem I've experienced after migrating a database form SQL Server 2000 to 2005?
Users reported an error appearing in pages in a web-based application and I traced the problem to a stored procedure that was using a temporary table. I retained the original collation - SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS - after migration and the error showing up was 'Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and "Latin1_General_CI_AS" in the equal to operation.' This makes sense as I guess temporary tables are assuming tempdb's collation. Resolution in this case was fairly simple, which was to apply an explicit collation to one of the columns in the temporary table (it only had three columns, only one requiring the collation). However the longer-term question is should I: (a) resolve similar issues in the same way as and when they arise; (b) change the collation of the migrated database to that of the default for system and new databases under 2005 - i.e. Latin1_General_CI_AS; or (b) change the collation of tempdb and the other system databases to match that of the migrated databases (sounds risky)?
I would probably go for (a) or perhaps (b) but could use some expert advise on the matter.

Hi all..!!
this is my first posting in this forum and I registered since it is very informative and active...
I am looking for pointers to go ahead with migration of DB/DTS from 2000 to 2005.
Any gurus in this forum who can point me any existing links or any info will be highly appreciated..
Thanks
I installed SQL 2005 Standard edition on a failover cluster (Windows 2003). It is in production. Vendor wanted Enterprise Edition. What are my options to migrate to Enterprise? Is there an in-place way to do this, or is it a big deal?
Vendor probably doesn't need Enterprise. It's a low volume OLTP application with small databases. No fancy stuff (other than the failover clustering). Vendor simply did not test his application on Standard so he says we need Enterprise. Nevertheless, Management will probably want me to make the change.
