I am trying to replicate data from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005.previously we did it from 2000 to 2000 using script.
but when i am tring to use that script with 2000 to 2005 its not working i have made the necessary changes in the script.Is there major changes to replicate from 2000 to 2005
Hi
I have a setup where I need to replicate the database which is actually subscribing from another database. The current setup is all in SQL Server 2000. I need to now setup a Distrbutor on a SQL server 2005 and publish the database using this distributor to another server on SQL server 2000.
Has anybody done this before. If yes what will I need to check. Can you please let me know :-
1) SQL Server 2000 which SP should be installed to support this enviroment.
2) SQL Server 2005 which SP should be installed to support this environment.
3) Any thing that I need to look out for.
Thanks for any inputs on this.

I am trying to test simple replication (only tables) of a database that resides on a SQL Server 2005 instance to a SQL Server 2000 instance. The Publisher and Distributer are set up on the SQL Server 2005 instance for Transactional replication. The subscriber is set up on in the 2000 instance. Replication Monitor shows the following error after applying a few scripts:
"Category: SQLSERVER Source SQLSERVER2000 Number: 170 Message: Line 6: Incorrect syntax near
'max'."
Here SQLSERVER2000 is the name of my 2000 instance, as should be obvious.
Beyond this point, replication fails. Any pointers as to where the problem could lie? Is this a known backward compatibility issue? I've checked all tables in the database and none contain any datatype that is new to 2005 (the database was actually created in and for SQL Server 2000.
Replication from 2000 to 2005 works fine, but the other way round is failing as described above. Any clues?
Hi All,
Currently we use SQL 2K SP4 and snapshot replication with a Central Publisher with Remote Distributor toplogy.
I am looking to upgrade or migrate our SQL servers to SQL 2005 and was wondering what is the best way to do this for our replicated architecture?
Is the best way to run the SQL 2005 Upgrade on all 3 servers (publisher, distributor, subscriber) and should it automatically upgrade the servers including the replication components? Is there anything i should consider/watch out for when doing the upgrade and it involves replication (namely snapshot replication)?
Thanks in advance.
I want to replicate data from sql server 2000 to a sql server express 2005 box.
I can dts data across..but I want to be able to set up push replication from the Sql Server 2000 box, but the option to push the data to the Sql Express server in the GUI does not come up only Sql Server 2000 boxes are listed. Initially I will be using Snapshot replication but would like to eventually move on to transactional rep if only I can get it to push the data across.
Does anyone know how to acheive this thanks for any help Sammy.
We have two SQL Server 2005 production DB at remote sites. Due to network bandwidth issue, we need to replicate these DBs (publishers and distributers) to central corporate SQL 2000 DB (subscriber for backup and possible reporting (and in rare case as a failover server).
We would start out with backup from SQL 2000 db restored on remote SQL 2005 DBs. When we have DB issue on remote 2005 DB, we want to restore it from central corp. 2000 DB backup. Since two DBs are replicating to central DB, we DO NOT want combined db back up data on restored remote 2005 db. We can restore the db and delete unwanted data before we turn on replication from this restored server. So, this is not a problem.
The real problem is how to avoid snapshot replication (during initialization) when we create a transaction replication on this restored server to avoid over writing data on the central subcriber sql 2000 DB???
HELP!!
I am trying to migrate from my current system, where I do merge replication from Windows Mobile devices running SQL Server CE 2.0 to a central database running SQL Server 2000 sp3a. I want eventually to move to a system running SQL Server 2005 CE replicating to a SQL Server 2005 back-end. But the transition will need to be gradual, and I may have to support both systems for a while until I can convert all clients from the old system to the new. I also need to do thorough testing.
So ... I'm trying to set up a test environment giving me the maximum possible flexibility to do my testing. Ideally, I'd like to set up SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 on a side-by-side basis, in a manner that would potentially allow mobile devices running both SQL Server CE 2.0 and SQL Server 2005 CE to sync with either back-end server.
Can someone provide me with guidance as what is possible to set up here? I know that SQL Server 2000 and 2005 can be installed side-by-side on the same server. It also appears that you can set up SQL Server 2000 so that EITHER SQL Server CE 2.0 OR SQL Server 2005 CE can sync with SQL Server 2000 (see www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/sqlmobile/connectivity-tools.mspx), but I don't know if it's possible for BOTH SQL Server CE 2.0 AND SQL Server 2005 CE to sync to the same SQL Server 2000. As for SQL Server 2005 ... it appears to be possible to set up SQL Server 2005 so that BOTH SQL Server CE 2.0 devices AND SQL Server 2005 CE devices can sync to the same SQL Server 2005 (see web page cited above). However, I don't know if it's possible to set up a SQL Server 2005 server installation in this manner while at the same time having a side-by-side SQL Server 2000 installation supporting any level of mobile merge replication.
HELP!!!!
Hi,
View 36 Replies View RelatedWe have a SQL Server 2000 ent edition sp4 with 3 small databases and one 4 GB database which is REPLICATED
The Server has been bouncing like a yoyo today because of a disk controller problem and I am preparing to move the Instance to a whole new server this afternoon. The new Server will have the same IP and name as the original server.
Any suggestions for the easiest or most seamless way to make this happen? preferably using Backup and Restore since they plan on taking the old server down completely and then building a new server with the same name and IP ... any suggestions would be appreciated.
My server is a dual AMD x64 2.19 GHz with 8 GB RAM running under Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with service pack 1 installed. We have SQL 2000 32-bit Enterprise installed in the default instance. AWE is enabled using Dynamically configured SQL Server memory with 6215 MB minimum memory and 6656 maximum memory settings.
I have now installed, side-by-side, SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition in a separate named instance. Everything is running fine but I believe SQL Server2005 could run faster and need to ensure I am giving it plenty of resources. I realize AWE is not needed with SQL Server 2005 and I have seen suggestions to grant the SQL Server account the 'lock pages in memory' rights. This box only runs the SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 server databases and I would like to ensure, if possible, that each is splitting the available memory equally, at least until we can retire SQL Server 2000 next year. Any suggestions?
i went through the documentation but i was not clear on following, here is the scenario :-
a Central server is having SQL Server 2000
3 Remote Locations :- Each having 4-5 no of computers, connected on a Lan, and on one of the machines MSDE 2000 will be running.
My Questions are :-
1. Can remote locations, update data locally and send changes (say in every one hour) to central server. If yes, then how ??
2. Same way they can receive updates from Central Server on whatever was updated on Centra Server or on the 3 remote locations. If yes, then How ??
any help will be highly appreciable.
When I proposed start to use SQL Server 2005 for new VS 2005 web sites, one of my co-workers responded that
we will update the old SQL Server 2000 databases to SQL Server 2005 when we are ready to use 2005 SQL Server.
Questions:
1. Any expected problems to upgrade old 2000 databases to new 2005 SQL Server?
2. I have installed both 2005/Management Studio Express and 2000/Enterprise Manager in my PC. Any expected
problems when running both 2000 and 2005 SQL Server at the same database server?
3. What is the best configuration for running SQL Server 2005 when we have old 2000 databases? Upgade or not upgrade?
TIA,
Jeffrey
Hi
We would like to install Sql 2005 Enterprise Edition (including database engine, reporting service, integration service and analysis service) as a sepearte instance on a server which already has Sql 2000 with reporting services and analysis services. We do not want to disturb the existing sql 2000 setup.
If we do that then what will happen to my earlier sql 2000 reporting service? Will it be upgraded to sql 2005 reporting service? I heard that reporting services are instance unaware application. Where will be the default reporting service database available?
Please help us.

When I try to migrate a database on a SQL Server 2000 server to a SQL Server 2005 server with the Copy Database Wizard of the SQL Server Management Studio, I'm confronted with the following problem;
Performing operation...
- Add log for package (Success)
- Add task for transferring database objects (Success)
- Create package (Success)
- Start SQL Server Agent Job (Success)
- Execute SQL Server Agent Job (Error)
Messages
* The job failed. Check the event log on the destination server for details. (Copy Database Wizard)
When I take a look at 'Event viewer' on the SQL 2005 server, the following error is displayed;
InnerException-->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)
I already enabled the MSSQLSERVER network configuration protocols (TCP/IP and Named Pipes ).
How do I solve this problem?
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.

Hi Guys,
I have had SQL Server Express and Sql Server Management Studio Express installed on my machine for some time and recently tried to install a trial of SQL Server 2005 as well. (Yes, I'm migrating from Visual Studio Express to Visual Studio Professional, just as in tended!)
Everything went fine except that nothing seemed to be installed. I searched in all the obvious places - both on the Start/Programs menu and on the hard-drive: nothing.
A check under Add/Remove Programs showed that Sql Server 2005 Express was installed, but called SQL Server 2005.
So after a number of retries in which the install program kept saying that there was nothing to install, I selected every option under Advanced in the intall process. This resulted in stuff being installed and I now have SQL Server 2005 running on my machine, but no SQL Server Manager icon.
My questions are:
Where can I find the SQL Server Manager executeable?
Has anyone installed SQL Server Express, SQL Server Mangement Studio Express, SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Management Studio on a single machine successfully? If so, what order did you install them in? (I'm planning on uninstalling everything SXQL Server related and starting again.)
Thanks very much for your help.

Hi
I have created a linked server from SQL Server 2005 (SP 1) to SQL Service 2000 (SP 4) with a sql server login that is available on both servers but with different passwords and permissions.
I am getting the following error while accessing the linked server in management studio based on the scenario given below ;
------ Error Message Starts
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "(SQL Server 2000 instance name)" returned message "Communication link failure".
Msg 10054, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Line 0
Login failed for user 'abc'.
------ Error Message Ends
Consider login name is abc.
Now this login abc has sysadmin rights on sql server 2005.
The same login abc has only db_datareader rights on sql server 2000 on just one database and is not associated with any fixed server role.
I have configured the linked server using the following options;
1. I have tried impersonating login from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2000 .
2. I have also tried specifying remote login / password option.
Anyone having any idea, would be of great help.
Regards,
Salman Shehbaz.
Can I connect from a SQL Server 2005 database to a SQL Server 2000 database, without establishing a linked server connection.
I need to fire a SELECT query on a SQL Server 2000 database, but don't want to add it as a linked server. Is there any way I can do this or its not possible??

Hi,
I am in between of analysis for Upgradation of SQL server 7.0 to SQL server 2000.
I have few server on SQl server 7.0
I wanted to know , is the replication supported between SQL server 7.0 and SQL server 2000.
a ) from SQl server 2000 to SQL server 7.0
and
b ) from SQL server 7.0 to SQL server 2000.
Both this scenarios will exist.

Hello,
I am using MSDE 2000 for replication of my Data. I have one publisher and two subscribers. but i need t filter rows for publications. Problem is that for filtering, i need host_name and in push replication host_name is name of system in which Agents are running but in MSDE all agents are running in publisher system ( distributor System). so everytime for any publication i get only id of server.
i am facing same problem in pull replication also.
Regards,
Any suggestions on how to replicate from AS/400 to SQL Server 2000?
Data is stored on a AS/400, but applications use a SQL Server 2000 DB. Currently, DTS packages drop the SQL DB, rebuild the tables from a script, copy the data, and then rebuild the indexes as a nightly batch job. Is there a better way to do this? Also is there a clean way to replicate daily transactions as well?
Hi
I'm trying to determine if it is possible to do many to many replication in sql server 2000.
What i basically want is to have n databases share the same basedate (share a common database) and allow updates in any database to be replicated to all the other databases (with a simple conflict resolution, like last update wins).
My goal is total autonomy, without a single point of failure. If any node goes down, the other nodes will continue to work and continue to replicate their data to the remaining nodes. When a node comes back up it will catch up with the over nodes (or get reinitialized if it was a serious crash).
The amount of data i want to replicate is not that big (less than 100MB) and does not change that often. All servers are sql server 2000 instances connected by a gigabit network and the number of nodes involved is less than 10. Some latency is also acceptable.
the question is: is this at all possible? I have read i bit in 'SQL Server High Availability By Paul Bertucci' and some other resources and it looks like a multiple publishers or multiple subscribers with merge replication setup should work, but i'm not too sure if it will work for n > 2 nodes (where all nodes publish and subscribe to each other) and it also mentions constraints on which data a given node is allowed to update (i hope this could be handled by simple conflict resolution).
And if it is not possible in 2000, could it be accomplished en 2005?
TIA Jens
Hi,
Can anyone help me?
How do I implement SQL Server Replication?
Where, and how? Do I have to download specific software to do this, or how?
What would be the right option?
Thanks

Dear support,
I am working on my graduation project that has a wide section of PC Pocket application to merge data between the SQL Mobile Edition and the SQL Server 2005. So, i had done most of the steps mentioned in the Books Online for the SQL Mobile Edition, till i had reached the step of creating a subscription for the Mobile Database, it is known that at the end of this step there would be a code generated in order to use it in developing the application and after clicking finish the wizard will start Synchronization. Here this step fails with a message informing me that the snapshot agent is not started yet or the publisher didnt generate the snapshot yet !!
So looking forward to getting your advice soonly!
Thank you for your attention,
Kindly Regards;
Is it possible to replicate from Oracle to SQL Server.

Morning Guys,
If one was preparing to Replicate a database and need to know how much more size would be needed to accomadate the distribution database and its transaction logs etc... what performance counters would you set to gather this information and or tools...?
How to go about finding the average tranaction size.... number of transactions per day.... via profiler.... perfmon....
any suggestions or good sites for replication would be greatly appreciated...
thanks,
thanks,

I have to replicate(bidirectional) data from Access(.mdb) to SQL Server .What are the possible ways of doing it? Are there any known issues?
Thanks in advance.
Hello
I am facing a very severe problem in SQL Server 2000 replication and here's the description :
I had setup a replication having Publisher and distribution on the same server. Later I found out that the Subscriber database was incorrect and so I dropped the replication and then disabled it so as to start from fresh.
Now as soon as I start to configure the Publisher/Distributor I get the following error message :
"Error 18483 Could not Connect to ABC Server because distributor_admin is not defined as a remote login at the Server "
Please let me know what can be done to resolve this issue
Please help me to resolve this issue as we need to have the replication latest by Sunday 4/21/2002
Thanks again
Hi all,
I'm trying to configure replication between a Sybase ASE Database Server and SQL Server 2000. Sybase ASE Database will be the Publisher and SQL Server will be the Subscriber. Can anyone advise me on how I can go about setting up the replication for this?
Thanks!
Hi,
I have set up transactional replication on two servers. The productionserver (PSERV) and a backup server (BSERV).
On PSERV I have started the agents Snapshot (running with status Succeeded) and Log Reader.(running with status Idle and the message "No replicated transactions are available").
On BSERV I choose start syncronization on my subscription. When I go into Job history I can find the following information on four lines:
The job failed. The Job was invoked by User SERVAdministrator. The last step to run was step 1 (Run agent.).
The subscription to publication '(null)' has expired and does not exist. The step failed.
Connecting to Distributor 'SERVP'
Connecting to Subscriber 'SERVB'
Anyone that have any ideas on how I can fix this problem?

I am using SQL Server 2000 SP4 running on a MS Server 2003 with SP2. I am preforming Merge Replication on a continouas basis and the Merge Agent keeps stopping with the error 203 The process could not enumerate changes at the 'Publisher'. There is no additional information available with this error. Does anyone have any sugestions as to why this is happening. I can manually re-start the agent but it will fail again for particular reason.
