Moving From SQL 7 To SQL2005 Express- Any Tips?
Dec 1, 2005
We are coming out of the dark ages with our app using SQL 7 and, following the excellent advice of the folks here on SQLTeam, installing SQL 2005 Express on our new webserver.
Not being terribly fluent in all things SQL, I was wondering if anybody could provide input on the best practices for getting SQL 2005 Express going on the new server.
So far I've:
- Installed SQL 2005 Express
- Downloaded and "installed" the SSEUtil for CMD line instructions
- Downloaded and installed the graphical management interface (very nice, makes me feel more comfortable - like SQL 7 console!)
- Copied backup files (made using SQL backup maintenance) to the new server
Should I simply create an empty db of the same name on the 2005 server and then restore the 7 data? Or ????
I searched briefly for previous posts of this nature and didn't find too much info so I hope I'm not duplicating effort here...
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Mmmmmkay. Yeah, did you get the memo about the TPS reports?

Hi.
Me any my team are soon going to work on a performance critical application. My team has some experience of writing SQL, however we have not done performance oriented coding.
I am looking for a comphrehensive document which lists information for writing good SQL with performance. Please guide if there is such a document or web site.
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm trying to find the best way how to move SQL2005 Standart Edition 32-bit to SQL2005 Standart Edition 64-bit.
I was not successfull by searching on MSDN or SQL Books, all I have found describe only 32-32 or 64-64 upgrade recomendations.
Does anyone have experiences with this already ? I will be more than happy if you can help me.
The operating system of the affected machine is Win 2003 R2 64-bit.
Thank you
Michal

I am planning to move the sql server 2000 database to the sql server 2005 database. I have to restore that by using the back up copy. Do I need to follow any special instructions or just like moving from one server to another. Could some body help with this. Thanks!

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

We're using ADO disconnected recordsets. On SQL 2000, we could update these on the client (without propagating the changes to the server) even if the underlying view or table was non-updatable.
When running our apps against SQL 2005 (using the same client-side environment), we can no longer change any attributes of those disconnected recordsets, that connect to a non-updatable database object (the rest of the app runs fine, we can update all updatable database objects through disconnected recordsets) . Does SQL 2005 respond to such calls differently from SQL 2000, so that ADO recordsets are built in a new way (which makes them read-only in our setting)?
Thanks for any suggestions.

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

Hello, can I run the express edition on my desktop and test web site with it, but then deploy the same app to my webhost and have it use SQL2005 standard? (They don't support the express edition.)
I'm new to SQL2005 and am curious. In fact, I still don't totally understand if express is installed or just a file like access. :)
Thanks!

Hello, I hope I am posting this question in the right forum. I have been working on some ASP applications and using them to connect to a MySQL database. I would like to move all of the data from MySQL over to SQL2005 Express. The problem is that the express version doesn't offer an import/export tool for CSV files. I am able to export my table data from MySQL to a CSV file, how can I import this data into my SQL2005 Ex database? Thanks.

I am currently using MSDE as the Db for a website and using (cheating?)
enterprise manager i have created and scheduled a backup job that the
agent runs.
Now I am wanting to upgrade the Database to SQL2005 Express but I want
to have a similar scheduled backup job. From the reading of the
OLBs it appears I have to manually create a script but I don't know how
to schedule the running of the script.
So my questions are:
1. How do you schedule the running of a back up script in SQL Express? and,
2. Is there a tool that automates the creation of a script similar to how you do it in the old Enterprise manager?
TIA

Hi,
I have an aplication (VS2005 and Sql2005 Express), where I need to lock a table when opening one form, and then close it when completing another form.
Is there a way to do this, maybe using a Stored Procedure.? I'd prefer to be still able to access the table in read only mode if possible.
I've looked at pessimistic concurrency, but the particular part of my application is not using a dataset, being based upon SqlCommand.ExecuteScalar(), so I'm fairly sure this is not an option.
Thanks

Excuse the cross post (to VBexpress fourum) but maybe someone here will have a different take?
have searched all around can't seem to see how to configure a SQL2005 developer ed so I can use vb express to develop a local front end. keep getting "the user instance login flag is not supported on this version of sql server" I have configured the .net framework via aspnet_regsql.exe. Also I configured the "Machine.config" file. but so far no luck.
Selecting sql2005 as the server thru the add new database connection in advanced area yields the error message
surely there is away.
So far still no joy,
While Scotty indicates that the connection to SQL2005 is intentionally hampered other posters indicate that the user instance problem can be solved by running the .net config tool to add the asp database to sql server, which I have done.
However this does not yet work.
I cannot get the code to spark yet.
Again my configuration cannot be any simpler. sql express sp1 and sqldeveloper on the same machine using windows security (all installed with default cofigurations)
In the absence of other ideas I may try to get sql express downloaded and going, I'm not sure what issues that will present re: what I'm trying to develop.
I'm trying to develop the skills to replace some fairly involved reporting and some user table interface that I had going in access2003, I hate to pruchace a big piece of sw when I don't know if it will remove the current roadblocks...
Appreciate the help here, but doesn't someone have a "simpler" complete answer? I.e. one that would get the developer database to accept the connection wizard? (user instance issue)

I recently come to problem. I want to deploy my web site, which uses SQL2005EE extensively, so I began searching for host, SHARED HOSTING solution. I haven't find one offering SQL2005EE on .NET2.0 final frameworkI have been told that there isn't ONE host which would offer SQL2005EE on Final .NET2.0 shared hosting, that it is illegal! Only if the shared host provided is free, which is insufficient in my needs (free hosts have low trafic/disk space etc).Is it true? If I pay for hosting, I can't have SQL2005EE as an option in their hosting plan? Just SQL2005 full as an option? This way I need to pick up some expensive shared hosting plan?How you ppl solved this problem?

Hi,
I have a problem to connect to SQL2005 Express Database with VC++ as regular user, not window system administrator.(If i login as window system admin, everything's working fine.)
A. I tried to use SQL2005 Express Server authentication, the error msg is:
Code= 80004005 €œunspecified error€? Cannot open database ***, login failed.
1. I am using Server authentication with username and password.
2. Gave all the permission of Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1 and Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2 to this regular window user.
3. Connection String is:
Provider=SQLNCLI;Initial Catalog=***; User ID=***;Password=***;Data Source=***;Persist Security Info=False;Integrated Security=SSPI;
B. I tried to use Window authentication by adding User Instance, but the error is:
Code= 80004005 €œunspecified error€? MS Native Client
Description = Invalid connection string attribute.
Connection String is:
Provider=SQLNCLI;Initial Catalog=***; Data Source=***;Persist Security Info=False;User Instance=True;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFileName=directory***.mdf;
Any idea? Thanks.

Hi,
I'm trying to migrate a MSDE based application into a SQL2005 Express SP2 DB Engine on Windows Vista Business but I'm facing several errors that are blocking me.
Since the installation of SQL2005 Expr. must be done in a silent mode (the end user shouldn't set anything), I'm installing it using this syntax:
SQLEXPRSP2_ITA.EXE -q /norebootchk /qb reboot=ReallySuppress addlocal=all instancename=CSERV DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 SQLBROWSERAUTOSTART=1 SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM" SQLBROWSERACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM" AGTACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM" ASACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM" RSACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM"
The installation proceeds without problems but when my program tries to create the database, a message error appears:
CREATE DATABASE denied on database 'master' (I translated directly from italian).
What I would like is to install SQL 2005 with "Windows Authentication" access instead of "SQL Authentication".
If I install SQL2005 manually by setting a named instance (CSERV), Windows Authentication mode, activating the option "set the local account as SQL administrative account" (translated from italian and suggested with Vista) I get the following error (read from the LOG):
CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 5 (access denied) while attempting to open or create the physical file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerCSERVDataCGIDBDat.mdf'
CSERVData is the folder that the application creates and where the "mdf" and "ldf" files are stored.
So in the first case it seems that SQL2005 don't recognize the local account as administrator even if the user has administrative privileges (at least for Vista), in the second case is Vista that is blocking the action.
What is the solution??
Thank you and regards.

I have installed the Classifieds Starter Kit and have imported the ClassifiedsDB from Express to SQL Server running on a remote machine.
I have edited the classifiedsceonnection string in the Web.Config to point to the db. However, the
AspNetSqlMembershipProvider is still looking for the LocalSQLProvider, I changed that to poing to the same classifiedsconnectionstring and it errors;
I will post error here:
SQLExpress database file auto-creation error:
The connection string specifies a local Sql Server Express instance using a database location within the applications App_Data directory. The provider attempted to automatically create the application services database because the provider determined that the database does not exist. The following configuration requirements are necessary to successfully check for existence of the application services database and automatically create the application services database:
If the applications App_Data directory does not already exist, the web server account must have read and write access to the applications directory. This is necessary because the web server account will automatically create the App_Data directory if it does not already exist.
If the applications App_Data directory already exists, the web server account only requires read and write access to the applications App_Data directory. This is necessary because the web server account will attempt to verify that the Sql Server Express database already exists within the applications App_Data directory. Revoking read access on the App_Data directory from the web server account will prevent the provider from correctly determining if the Sql Server Express database already exists. This will cause an error when the provider attempts to create a duplicate of an already existing database. Write access is required because the web server accounts credentials are used when creating the new database.
Sql Server Express must be installed on the machine.
The process identity for the web server account must have a local user profile. See the readme document for details on how to create a local user profile for both machine and domain accounts.
Any suggestion of how to resolve this to look at the SQL Server on remote machine?

Hi All,
We have a file based asp.net app built using Visual Web Developer and Sql Server Express 2005. We have finished development and testing and are now moving to the deployment stage. As a first step, we would like to be able to view it on a test machine using IIS (instead of VWDs built in web server). We have created a virtual directory in IIS and can view our app correctly at http:localhost/ForIIS_test.
However, when we get to a page that tries to access our Sql Sever Express database, we get the following error:
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Documents and SettingsClaudeMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005WebSitesForIIS_testApp_Data estDatastore.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
Does anyone know how to overcome this problem? Any help appreciated.

I have been programming an application with VC++ 2005 and SQL Server 2005. I have converted an old 16-bit database to 32-bit managed code and SQL server and the application seems to be good. Now I want to deploy the application to another server for testing.
I have installed XP SP2, Windows Installer 3.1, Net framework 2.0 and SQL Server 2005 express to the test server. I have transferred the application with WI 3.1 and the program works well in the test server till the first SQL command. I have made a back up of the database and restored it in the test server. In the test server I can log in the database with Server Management studio and I can read the data there correctly. I have enabled both named pipes and TCP/IP for the database in the test server. With Surface Area Configuration I have enabled Local and Remote Connections Using both TCP/IP and named pipes. I only need Windows authentication at this time.
After all this when I come to the first SQL command in the application on the test server I receive the error message:
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 €“ Could not open a connection to SQL Server).
My connection string to the database is:
'connection->ConnectionString = "Persist Security Info=False; Integrated Security =SSPI;"
"Data Source=TESTSERVER; Initial Catalog=TESTDATABASE;";'
When I use "Data Source=DevelopmentServer", the application works well on the development server.
Can't understand what is still wrong. Can you possibly have an answer for me?

Apparently you cannot go backwards. Once 2005 Express is installed, even removing it does not allow you to setup MSDE 2000 again. So there is no "trying it out" option.
Unfortunately, our software does not use 2005 Express. I tried it out, and now have a useless testing workstation that can't have MSDE 2000 installed again.
Any ideas on how to break the chain here are welcome.
