Problem Migrating Application Database From SQL Server 2000 To Express Edition 2005

Hi there

I am new to SQL Server, but the current project that I am working on has the following requirement:-

1) Migrate the application (a servlet based web application on Apache Tomcat) from Solaris to Wintel
2) Migrate the supporting database from SQL Server 2000 to Sql Server 2005
3) Get IIS to communicate with Tomcat for serving servlet/jsp etc to the client

Though I successfully completed item 1 above, am stuck at item 2. Details are below

Actions taken for item 2

A. Installed MS 2005
B. Created new database in MS 2005 (logged in as user 'sa')
C. Generated SQL scripts (such as create table table_A etc) from existing MS 2000
D. Genearted SQL scripts (such as insert into table_A etc) from existing MS 2000
E. Created new schema in MS 2005
F. Ran scripts C & D in the new schema. All tables are records populated.
G. Obtained new JDBC driver and test run to see if connection is working fine, and it worked. Even ran an sql statment


Code Block[select count(*) from sa.table_A]

and got appropriate response.


H. When I made the application to talk to this new database (which is a copy of Production from step C, D above), it's behaving as though it cannot find the record.
I. When I further debugged, I realised that the web application is excuting queries without mentioning the schema. For eg.



Code Block[Select firstName, lastName from table_A]

Or rather it assumes that the user connecting to database is same as the schema name.


J. To further ascertain my point, I ran the query


Code Block[Select firstName, lastName from sa.table_A]

and it worked!



Now the real problem is that I cannot modify the existing code to append a schema name and this approach is rather not recommended best practise.


I tried to match the user name with the schema name, even made this schema as default to the user. But still not finding any luck.

I request all you experts out there to help me out with this problem.
