What is the best and safest way to move all databases(almost 500GB total) from our existing server(2000) to the new server(2005).and What about the jobs and SSIS(DTS) Packages.Thanks
View 5 RepliesHi there!
I am fairly new to SQL Server 7. I have a SQL server database on one machine (box A).
Now I installed a new box with SQL server on it (box B).
How do I move the database from box A to box B?
What are the steps involved? What is the easiest way to do it?
What files need to be copied over?
Thanks,

I have about 300 tables scattered across 3 databases that I am trying to consolidate into a single database. There are other tables within these 3 databases that I don't wish to consolidate (so I don't want to copy the full database).
What are my options to move these tables to the consolidated database?
Are there options beyond, the pain and extensive run-time of copying from the DTS wizard into the new database (plus the indices won't copy will they?) or writing code that creates tables in the new database, populates them with data from the old tables and then deletes the old tables?
My understanding is sp_rename won't work with two separate databases --i.e., your destination db must be the same as the db of the object you are renaming. (if my understanding is wrong, that would seem to be the easiest way to accomplish this)
Thanks,

I have a Audit tables database. I want to archive the Audit Tables data to another new database in the same server and remove the data in the Actual database but continues with the table seed where it's the primary ID.

contains10,000 records in AuditTable Database.
I want to archive the tables to a new database: Audit200707
After archived, the AuditProducts Table in AuditTable database will remove all the records and continues with 10001 in the next record.
How can I done the whole process using T-SQL so that it can schedule and run for every month? BTW I am using SQL Server 2005 SP2.

I am moving a database from one server to another. I am going to replace the old server to the new one. I heard that you can move the datfiles and put them in the same directory, and sql server will pickup the datafiles based on the system tables. Is this possible, and what are the steps to get this to work. Thanks for the help in advance.

Hi all! I know I might sound stupid, but I have this problem. I have developed my database on my laptop which does not use Active directory. Lets say I access the database with: SPIDERMANDB1 on SQL server, where the name of my laptop is SPIDERMAN, and the database is DB1. Now, I create an SQL script from sql server and make the necessary changes, like changing the computer name to say, SUPERMAN where my deployment server's name is SUPERMAN. But when I run the SQL script on the SUPERMAN server, it gives me an error like: "User or role SUPERMANDB1 does not exist in this database". I have deployed databases in this way on servers without Acive directory, so I'm sure its not a mistake on my side. So how am I supposed to go around this active directory thingi! Please help me out! I'm counting on u guys!

I'm trying to find a way to insert data from a TableA on ServerA into TableB on ServerB using SSIS in Visual Studio.
The specification I was given is basically
Insert INTO TableB AS (Select * from TableA WHERE NOT EXISTS on TableB).
I can't use a linked server unfortunately.
I wonder if it possible to move data from tables on a linked server to a "normal database"? What am I doing wrong?
Hi,
We have an old machine which holds SQL server 2000 database. We need to migrate a whole database to a new machine which has SQL server 2005.
When we tried to move whole database using Import and Export Wizard, only tables can be selected to import/export. However we want to import/export the whole database, including tables, stored procedure, view, etc. Which tool should we use?
Thanks.

I am using SQL Server 2012 SE.I am trying to delete rows from a couple of tables (GetPersonValue has 250 million rows and I am trying to delete 50Million rows and GetPerson has 35 Million rows and I am trying to delete 20 million rows). These tables are in TX replication.The plan is to delete data older than 400 days old.
I tried to move data to new tables from the last 400 days and it took me like 11 hours. If I delete data in chunks of 500000 then its taking a long time to rebuild indexes(delete plus rebuild indexes 13 hours). Since I am using standard edition partition wont work.
find ddl below:
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[GetPerson](
[GetPersonId] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
[LinedActivityPersonId] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
[CTName] [nvarchar](100) NULL,
[SNum] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[PHPrimary] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[code]....

I'm trying to move specific data from three linked tables on a source database to three tables on a destination database by generating dynamic SQL INSERT scripts but am getting stuck on the last set of INSERT statements. I don't think I can use SSIS because the source autonumber fields may already exist on the destination side but I could be wrong.
For simplicity, Table 1 (T1) has one autonumber key of PK1 as well as other fields (A1, B1, etc.).
Table 2 (T2) has one autonumber key of PK2 and a foreign key (FK1) that links back to PK1 as well as other fields (A2, B2, etc.).
Table 3 (T3) has one autonumber key of PK3 and a foreign key (FK2) that links back to PK2 as well as other fields (A3, B3, etc.).
Like this:
T1: PK1, A1, B1, etc.
T2: PK2, FK1, A2, B2, etc.
T3: PK3, FK2, A3, B3, etc.
So, I'm able to query the source database T1 to generate my dynamic SQL INSERT statements that will be run on the destination side. I'm also able to generate my dynamic SQL statements to insert into T2 but when I get to T3 I currently am stuck figuring out how to insert because the destination side is unable to match it's FK2 to the just inserted PK2. It throws the below error.
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
guys,I have a project need to move more than 100,000 records from onedatabase table to another database table every week. Currently, usersinput date range from web UI, my store procedure will take those dateranges to INSERT records to a table in another database, then deletethe records, but it will take really long time to finish this action(up to 1 or 2 hours).My question is if there is some other way I should do to speed up theaction, I am thinking about use bcp to copy those records to datafileand then use bcp to insert it into SQL Server table. Is this the rightway to do it or should I consider other solution (then, what is thesolution.)Thanks a lot!

I want to move one database from the source SQL Server 2000 instance to a new SQL 2000 instance in another machine. I have five user databases in this source SQL instance. How should be my approach to move this single database out of this ? My understanding is restoring this database in the new instance, copying all logins to the new instance and then copying the jobs, DTS packages, alerts, operators only specific to this database will do it. Please let me know if this is exactly what I should do ..

I have a access database. In this database there are 10 tables and this tables are related to each other.
I want to move these tables to another database according to a field in XYZ table (vertical fragmentation).
for example there is name coloumn in the XYZ table and I want to take only joe lines and other tables related to that from database A and move it to database B
how can I do this?
thanks..
I’m working with an msde database on my local machine, but need to take that database and move it to my remote host. This is problematic because I can not just do a back up and restore.
I was wondering if there were any asp.net applications that would generate lots of sql statements to reproduce the database on my remote host.
I had built a program to back up all the tables in that way, but, forgot that the membership stuff uses stored procedures, and I don't not know how to modify my program in order to back those up too.
Any help will be much appreciated, thank you very much for reading my post
Hello,
What is the easiest way to move a database from one server to another with the all table structures, view and stored procedures?
Thanks,
Using sp_detach and sp_attach we can move different databases to different locations.
how do we do the same for system databases such as master,model,msdb and tempdb.
As off i know we got to be in master database to runthis command, if not this how do we go about this.
Thanks,

If you want to move all the databases to new server. Stop the SQL server service on existing server. Copy mdf and ldf files of all databases to same location iin new server. Also take the backup of master and msdb database from existing server. Then restore master and msdb on new server.

P.S. Should I use the DTS at all to perform this task?
Hi:
I need your suggestion or experience about how to move a database from SQL 6.5 to SQL 7.0. The server where SQL 6.5 resides locates in different network than SQL 7.0. DTS does not work for the database move because of two server can not talk directly.
We need to do this task very soon in production environment. I tried to backup database to a disk (backup device in SQL 6.5) but I failed to restore it in SQL 7.0 because the backup file was not detected by restore utility in SQL 7.0.
Please tell me what I should do. Besides BCP, are there any other methods to move the database from SQL 6.5 to SQL 7.0 in diffferent networks.
Thank you very much.

i've got to move 37 SQL Server databases over to new server. My manager tells me that i have to conduct some "check totals" to make sure that the databases contained exactly the same data from what it was when it got moved.
Is there some stored_procedure to do this ? to make sure that all the stored procedures, views, tables got move across ?
Hi,
I'm new to SQL Server. How do I port the modifications of my table structures, store procedures, functions on the staging server to the procduction server without affect the data?
