Moving A SQL7 Database To SQL2000
Dec 27, 2002
Can anyone tell me of an EASY way to migrate a a database from a SQL 7 server to a SQL 2000 server (two different machines)?
Everything that I have found is only for upgrading SQL 7 to SQL 2000 and this isn't what I need.
Two groups in our company merged into one. The first group has a SQL 7 server that the lease is about to expire on and the second group (mine) has a newer SQL 2000 server that we need to move all of the databases to.
I have tried DTS. It failed. I tried backing up the 7 server and restoring to the new server. It failed.
Are there any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi folks,
I'm currently on a project that'll move all my SQL7 databases into SQL2000. This is from a SQL7 production box to a new Windows2k SQL2000 box. I'm confused as to the proper way of moving all the objects over. What should i do? Any information. Thank You!

I have a backup of a SQL7 DB that i need to restore into SQL 2000. I only have the backup of the DB , i don't have access to the SQL7 server. When ever I try to restore the DB into SQL2000 nothing works, the tables and properties all restore properly and the data is there but i can't retrieve info from it. I'm trying to move a website DB from SQL7 to SQL 2000 for use with Cold Fusion. I know they're is issues with going from 7 to 2000 but i don't know what they are. If anyone could help me with this i would greatly appreciate it. I know I need to do some special steps or changes before it will work in 2000, does anyone know what these are?
Thanks in advance,
B

Can anyone point me to a white paper/discussion on the issues of gaining access to SQL2000 data from a SQL7 installation? I'm about to upgrade servers from 7 to 2000, but a few of the servers exchange data bi-directionally and the upgrade to both servers at the same time would be problematic; thus the need at some point to get at the SQL2000 data from the SQL7 server.
Thanks,
AL

Is it possible to administer both SQL7 & SQL2000 databases from the same console ?? It's fine administering SQL 6.5 & SQL7, as 6.5 had no MMC, but it seems that SQL7 & SQL2000 have the same MMC.
Thanks,
Jazz.

Hi there,
I need to create a copy of a SQL 2000 database in another server which has SQL 7.0 installed. When I do a backup and restore, it gives me the following error :
Server: Msg 3154, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'inventmast' database.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
It seems to be like a downward compatability issue. Is there any other way to restore a sql2000 db onto sql 7 ??
Thanks
Paul

I'm upgrading a set of databases from SQL7 on one server (A) to SQL2000 on another server (B). I'd like input on the best method for moving the databases over (BCP, restore from BAK, etc), and in particular on moving the list of valid users (with default databases, permissions to databases, etc) and the DTS packages and Agent jobs.
When moving the databases, which are currently in code page 850, I might want to have them convert to the standard Latin-1 of SQL2000, though this isn't critical.
TIA,
Al

I have a SQL Server 2000 box running two databases which was upgraded in error from SQL7.0 Basically we are no longer being given support as SQL2000 is not supported by the suppliers.
I therefore need to downgrade the box to SQL7.0 and was wondering if anyone had any opinions on the best method for doing this. Note that I do have a spare server to host the databases while I rebuild this server ( I am having to do a complete rebuild from scratch for other reasons ).
My thought is to transfer the databases to the spare server, rebuild the first box to SQL 7.0 and then perform a snapshot replication to transfer the data back.
Any thoughts on this would be gratefully received.

Hi, guys - looking for a bit of help/advice on moving a database fromSQL 7 to SQL 2000.We've a third party application which currently uses a SQL7 database.This database has a number of views which are owned by userINFORMATION_SCHEMA and are set as system tables. This user doesn'tactually have a login on the SQL server.We've tried the following to recreate the database on SQL2000, butwhatever we try, the views owned by INFORMATION_SCHEMA won't copy overfrom SQL7:(1) We tried the "Copy Database" wizard in SQL2000, but were gettingerrors when trying to actually copy the database (other steps workedfine).(2) We tried a restore to SQL2000 from our Legato Networker backup ofthe SQL7 database, but the views didn't come across.(3) We tried a backup from SQL7 and restore to SQL2000, but got themessage that the backup file contained a database other than the onewe wanted (it didn't - we checked the backup file several times byrestoring it to another SQL7 server).(4) We tried to import/export data from SQL7 to SQL2000, but the viewsowned by INFORMATION_SCHEMA weren't showing to add to the list ofobjects to take across.(5) We created the INFORMATION_SCHEMA login on SQL2000, and tried allrestores again, but still the views wouldn't go across.(6) We generated the SQL for all views in SQL7 and ran these onSQL2000, setting the owner to INFORMATION_SCHEMA, but wasn't surewhere to set the type to "system" (as opposed to "user).We're having problems running the third party application with aconnection to SQL2000, and want to rule out the lack of views, or viewownership, as the problem. Our third party vendor isn't coming upwith any solution in a hurry. Can anyone think of any reason why theviews are coming across when the database is restored to SQL2000?Thanks for your help.

I have setup SQL2000 Personal edition on my notebook.
I cannot connect to an existing SQL7 server on the network anymore. I
used to run SQL7 Desktop edition which ran just fine.
I also noticed that when I start my machine it take about 2 minutes
until the SQL service is started.
Any ideas why this is not working anymore?

I'm attemting to replicate from a SQL7 box to SQL2000.
The snapshot works fine, but it fails when it tries to push the subscription to the SQL2000 box with a trust error (I don't recall the exact message). I noticed that it fails when Enterprise Mgr is configured as: "Tools/Replication/Configure Publishing, Subscribers and Distribution", Subscriber Tab, "Impersonating SQL Service Agent". It works if I change to "SA".
This is only the case when we replicate from SQL7 to SQL2K. SQL7 to SQL7 works fine with "Impersonating". Has anybody seen this behavior? Any workarounds, other than using SA?

The following query runs fine on sql 7.0 but it kind of hangs/keeps running without any output on sql server 2000
---------------------
Set @cmd = 'Update ABCD Set
'+@day+'_LB = IsNull(LB,0),
'+@day+'_UT = IsNull(UNIT,0)
From tempData as T
Where T.STORE_NUM = ABCD.STORE_NUM And T.ITM_ID = ABCD.UPC'
execute (@cmd)
------------------------------------
But if we hard code the @day parameter and run the query like this it runs very fast on sql 2000....
Update ABCD Set THIRD_LB = IsNull(LB,0),
THIRD_UT = IsNull(UNIT,0)
From tempData as T
Where T.STORE_NUM = ABCD.STORE_NUM And T.ITM_ID = ABCD.UPC

Hi
I have a (possibly) common position where half of our IT department is SQL 2005 and the rest is SQL2000. For myself, having to work in a SQL2000 environment and needing data from a SQL2005 Cluster I came up with this solution.
Also, to alert me when the process starts and completes since it is part of a scheduled process, I have it do a RAISERROR with logging to record entry and exit times. In addition, this runs out a series of PRINT statements that lets the operator know what table is currently being worked on.
Of course, any suggestions for speeding this up would be helpful!
What I have found that works for getting data (albeit slow) from SQL 2005 down to SQL 2000 is to script a fairly simple copy process -
-- it is actually pretty easy to follow if you just read the code......
-- first, we find all the views which are present, so they can be ignored when copying the raw data
CREATE TABLE #VIEWS (TABLE_NAME NVARCHAR (255) )
INSERT #VIEWS
SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM
OPENDATASOURCE(
'SQLOLEDB',
Data Source=SQL2005server;User ID=trust_me;Password=i_know_what_i_am_doing' )
.SQL_SIS_SYSTEM.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEWS
-- now, we get the actual tables with data
CREATE TABLE #TEMP (TBL_SCHEMA VARCHAR (12), TBL_NAME VARCHAR (255), RECCNT INT )
INSERT #TEMP
SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA , TABLE_NAME FROM
OPENDATASOURCE( 'SQLOLEDB', 'Data Source=SQL2005server;User ID=trust_me;Password=i_know_what_i_am_doing' )
.SQL_SIS_SYSTEM.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
AND TABLE_NAME NOT IN (SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM #VIEWS)
-- then, we start copying tables over - now we tag the ones which are populated with at least 1 row.
-- the first cursor loop gets all table names, the second will find row counts of source tables.
-- this segment uses (ugh) cursor to loop through and gather all of the data. This cursor is at the table name level - not
-- processing anything, and is used only to find tables which have a rowcount > 0
-- believe it or not, the cursors run pretty darn quickly since they arnet doing any calculations - just finding
-- tables with row counts > 0

Hi,
We have a number of databases running on our SQL2000 Servers. The databases use Stored Procedures which we call from our VB.NET apps, developed in-house. We now wish to upgrade our servers to SQL2005.
In the past, when upgrading from VS2002 to 2003 and then 2005, we have developed and executed Test Plans to ensure that the code upgrades properly. Microsoft even supplies FXCop and other tools to help. I now wish to develop and execute a similar Test Plan to ensure that our databases will work as required.
Does Microsoft supply any similar tools or guidelines for testing that databases written for SQL2000 will work as required on SQL2005? I see the Upgrade Wizard to examine the Server but is there a similar tool for testing databases? Are there any guidelines on the tests to include in such a Test Plan?
Thanks

We replicate a SQL2000 database (DataBaseA) to a SQL2000 database (DataBaseB) by using the Restore function and hasn't change its logical name but only the physical data path and file name. It is running fine for a year. We use the same way to migrate the DataBaseB to a new SQL2005 server with the Restore function and the daily operation is running perfect. However, when we do the Backup of DatabaseB in the SQL2005, it just prompt the error message
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup of full-text catalog 'DataBaseA' is not permitted because it is not online. Check errorlog file for the reason that full-text catalog became offline and bring it online. Or BACKUP can be performed by using the FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online data. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Please note we left the DataBaseA in the old SQL2000 server.
Please help on how we can delete the Full-text catalog from DatabaseB so we can do a backup
Many Thanks

I have a medical records system, SoapWare v4.90, that uses MSDE (SQL2000) databases. Due to the 2gb limitation, I am trying to migrate over to SQL 2005 (Standard or Express) which I have heard works fine. The SoapWare has a datamanager that allows me to log in to the MSDE instance, detach the SoapWare databases from msde (as well as do backups, etc) which I can confirm are detached.
Then I log back into a SQL2005 database instance using the datamanager and try to attach the database. This is what their pictured instructions demonstrate. However, I get the following error:
Database 'sw_charts' cannot be upgraded because it is read-only or has read-only files. Make the database or files writeable, and rerun recovery.
Of course, some of the entries will be read only, since doctors have to sign off the charts and are not allowed to subsequently change them. But I should still be able to switch over to sql 2005?!?!?!?
Or... is there a way to attach the databases to SQLExpress manually?
Help pls?

Sorry to break the threay i started earlier but once again I need this to work and I have spent al day on it with no luck.
SCOPE:
I need to copy my database from my sql server 7 platform to another office on
another server that also has sql 7. DTS will not work for me due to network traffic and so forth I would get messages saying that it failed. i tried it off/ peak time but still the same.
Now in the days of 6.5 I would be able to creat a new db device for LOAD then I would copy the dump over there and run LOAD database blab blah .. No brainer.
I have tried the following ideas some of you have mentioned such as back up the db (I would zip it copy it over there ) unzip it and tried to RESTORE it but I get the following: "The backup set holds a backup of a database other
than the existing 'mydb' database. Backup or restore operation terminiating abnormally."
I would also try restoring from FILE and I would get the similar message.
Sp_attach and detach no good either.
What am I missing. i would create a new 'mydb' then try the restore all of the above is all I get...
