Hi
I want to transfer a database from one PC to another. (Both running SQL Server 2005 express)
I have copied the files (SQL Server Database Primary Data File and SQL Server Database Transaction Log File) from the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData folder of the source PC to the destination PC (Same folder).
I was under the impression that using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - SQL Server Management Studio Express these files would be picked up and could be used, do I infact need to do something to attach the files/database so that they will appear in SQL Server management?
I have an SQL database running on an old server and i am upgrading the server, but i am having some problems moving my SQL database over. Has any one got a work through they could mail me to give me a hand!!
Cheers
Mike

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two computers, both with SQL Express 2005 and SQL Server Management Studio Express. I created a database on one computer, and need to copy it to the other computer. I'd like to do it all through the Management Studio interface, without using SQL commands, since I only need to do this manually.
I detached the two files, copied them to the second computer, and tried to attach them. This is generating lots of messages about not having the necessary permissions of various sorts. I think the main problem is that I don't know how to set up the database's users in a way that allows the second computer to attach the database.
I've tried Windows authentication, using a Windows user that has the same name and password on both computers, and I've defined that Windows user as a user within the database. I've connected to SQL when logged in as that user.
I've tried SQL authentication also, defining the same SQL user within both SQL Servers, as db_owner. But when I try to attach the database, I see no place to specify the user that I intend it to use, and it still fails. If I connect to SQL as that user, then SQL doesn't have permission to look at the file system to find the MDF file.
I'd appreciate the help in learning how to do this with both Windows authentication and SQL authentication, via the Management Studio's GUI. Most of the documentation I've seen covers how to do it by using SQL language commands, and I'd like to avoid that.
Hi all,
I want to transfer all the data from one of my Ms Access tables to SQL Server table, using C#.
How can i do it?
Thanks in advance,
J.Jasmeeta.
Hi all,
I have an Ms Access table and a MsSql table. I am running a windows service in my localhost where the data from Ms access table will be copied to Ms sql table for every one minute. Before copying the data, the Ms sql table will be flushed inorder to avoid replicates.
Now i want to copy only the latest records updated within 1 min in Ms access table, to Ms sql table.
My Ms access table
Name Id
jas 100
meena 101
viji 102
My Ms sql table
Name Id
jas 100
meena 101
viji 102
After 1 min, say 2 records are added to my Ms access table like,
Name Id
jas 100
meena 101
viji 102
bhuvana 103
pinky 104
Now i want to insert only the latest records from Ms access to Ms sql like,
Name Id
jas 100
meena 101
viji 102
bhuvana 103
pinky 104
how to do this? thanx in advance.

I have a SQL Server 2005 Express database on my local machince called OpenAssess.mdf. The server we host with has a file extension of .mdb. How can I go about getting my database to the server? I tried changing the extension to mdb on the local machine but then it tried opening the database in MS Access and didn't work. I just need to connect to the database in my web pages. Here is my connection string and then the error which is visible at the botton of openassessment.org.
*********************************************connection string*************************************************
OPEN_Conn = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=connectionToHostServer;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=OpenAssess.mdb;User ID=myuserid;Password=mypassword"
*****************************************************error*********************************************************
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'
Cannot open database requested in login 'OpenAssess.mdb'. Login fails.
On 11/10/01 I posted a question on how to move passwords from one sql2000 box to another. The response to this question worked perfectly.
I also need to copy over the user or database access information from one box to another. I tried to use dts but it only copied over the users and the database roles but did not copy over the Database user properties which allows the user access and places the user into security groups.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks again.

Hello ,
I want to move my tempdb database to another drive by moving the mdf and ldf files . Is it possible to shift the tempdb once it is created ?
I am shifting the database since there is no space on the current drive and the database might grow in the near furure .
Any ideas ???
Thanks .
I have a machine where the SQL "data" directory was installed on the smaller drive instead of the larger drive. What do I have to do to move the existing databases? (Backup/restore, or detach - move it physically, then attach?)
Thanks, for the help
How can I move the Model database to another location (i.e. from one drive / file location to another)?
I tried sp_detach_db (to be followed up with a sp_attach_db statement) but it rejected it because Model is a "system" database.
I tried (and it failed with a "Modify file command failed" message):
ALTER DATABASE model
modify file
(NAME='modeldev',FILENAME='f:MSSQL7DATAmodel.MDF')
I could not locate any help about moving model in books online (BOL).
Any ideas?

Hi,
I have a database that resides on a server that`s become too old. It spans
2 devices that sit on 2 different drive letters - D: and E:.
I bought a new server, installed and configured NT4.0 and SQL6.5.
Initially I restored the database to the new server from a dump .It worked
fine, however all the login information was lost. Then I tried partitioning
the new server the same way as the old one and copying all the DAT files
over. Thus I was hoping to retain the information contained in the MASTER.DAT,
drop the database, repartition to create 1 physical drivewith 1 database device,
and restore from a dump to it.
After copying the DATs, though, SQL Server would not start.
Help Please!
I am not a SQL person. I want to copy/move a SQL datbase from old server to a new server and eventualy bring the old server down. What is the procedure to do it. Thanks in advance.

We have developed our database in 2000. We want to run this DB on 7.0 But we get a bunch of errors. (we are not using any 2000 specific features).
Can anyone tell me way to export a database on 2000 to 7.0 ?
Hi all. I know that since you know nothing about my database it will
be a stretch to answer this - but does anyone have a boiler plate
checklist for moving a database, dts packages, agent jobs, etc...from
one server to another? Maybe something that just says I should at
least do x,y,z.
Also if anyone out there has any hard won experience/advice about
gotchas when doing this I would love to hear it. We have outgrown a
server and are installing a new one this week that we need to move
over to.
Thanks!
What is the correct order:
Should it be:
Master
Model
MSDB
Tempdb
I understand that the model should be before the MSDB database but as for master and tempdb I don't know the order.
Thanks

I'm having real trouble trying to place another copy of my database on a different computer.
I have developed a database on my main PC. But I want another copy of this same database to reside on my laptop so that I can do work on the move.
So far no luck. I installed SQL Server on the laptop but it won't let me create a database based on an existing database file.
Any ideas guys?

i need help moving a database to a new server.
I have an existing database on a Windows XP Pro box running MS SQL Server Desktop Engine 8.00.
I want to move this database to another machine running Windows Server 2003 Small Business Server w/full SQL Server (new edition).
I can see the database, and the directory structures are almost identical on both machines. But when I simply copy the data over nothing works. Obviously to me I must somehow back up the original database and restore it somehow on the new machine.
Any tips on where I begin? I have done searches in the Microsoft Knowledgebase for articles on how to backup and restore from one type SQL to another with frustrating results. No clear directions.
Thanks!
I'm a beginner user. I'd like to move the whole database from a work station to a server, how should I do it in a safe way? First of all, I have a very basic question: How could I save a database in SQL Server? Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the ultra-beginner question, but I've just recently started playing with SQL 2005 Express Edition for a task I've been assigned to at work.
I'm building an ASP.NET 2.0 web site that needs to connect to a SQL database to pull information. I installed SQL Express 2005 and installed the SQL Server Management Studio and I've managed to build a small database with one table.
I noticed that by default, the mdf and ldf files are located in C:Program FilesMS SQL ServerMSSQLDATA (or something along those lines). The website I'm working on is temporarily stored in C:WebSite. I need to move the database files over to C:WebSiteApp_Data so I can access them easily with ASP.NET and VS 2005 Express.
I can copy and paste the mdf and ldf files, but then I can't figure out how to point the SQL Server Management Studio to the new location.
I am obviously just a complete newbie at all of this. It's pretty sad that I can't figure out how to simply move the database from one directory to another on the same server... it makes me worry about when I'll need to move it to the new webserver!
Could anyone point me in the right direction at least?
Thanks in advance!

Hi
I have to copy (move) a database from one server to another .
One of the way of doing it is to take backup at source server and restore it at destination server .
I am doing it with the following series of statements .
================
At Source Server
================
USE master
EXEC sp_addumpdevice 'disk', 'DBName_Device',
'Irhahadb01F$mssqlackupDBName_Device.dat'
BACKUP DATABASE DBName TO DBName_device
=====================
At Destination Server
=====================
--Copy file (DBName_Device.Dat) from Source backup folder to Destination Backup folder
USE master
EXEC sp_addumpdevice 'disk', 'DBName_Device',
'Irhadvdb02D$mssql7ackupDBName3_Device.dat'
RESTORE DATABASE DBName
FROM DBName_Device
WITH RECOVERY,
MOVE '<Data File Name without .mdf>' TO
'irhadvdb02D$mssql7data<New Data File Name>.mdf' ,
MOVE '<Log File name without .ldf>' TO
'irhadvdb02D$mssql7data<New Log File Name>.ldf'
Above step works fine for one of the test database which small in size.
But it fails for the large database having Data file (.mdf) as 2.5GB and log file as 1.5GB .It says " not enough space on network drive to restore database" . But fact is that I have 200 GB free space on the server .
Please advice .
