Restore A SQL2K5 DB Into SQL2000 Environment

Nov 8, 2007

I want to copy a SQL2005 database to a SQL2000 environment? I created a backup from the DB in SQL2005 and moved the file to the other server but SQL2000 says the BAK file is invalid since the backup has structure version 611 while the server supports version 539. Any solution?

Upgrade To SQL2K5 Using Backup/Restore

Jun 7, 2007

Hello All:
From my previous post it seems that the general consensus is for me to use backup and Restore to upgrade a dB from SQL2K to SQL2K5.

Could anyone refer me to some explicit instructions for doing this?

I have SQL2K5 and SQL2K on separate servers and I cannot back the dB up to SQL2K5. I also can't access the drives for SQL2K from SQL2K5. I'm hoping it's a simple mistake.

Any advice or guidance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Cleech

Install SQL2000 And SQL2005 In Production Environment?

Dec 2, 2005

Hi,

Is it possible to deploy both SQL2000 and SQL2005 on the same server in the production environment?

Is it recommended? Next year we will be deploying a SQL2005 solution and was wondering if we could get away with installing it on the same server as the SQL2000 server, or whether we should put it on another server.

We have up to a maximum of 50 concurrent users.

Thanks.

Restore Sql2000 Db Onto Sql7 ???

Jun 19, 2002

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

Restore From SQL2000 Database

Aug 2, 2007

Hi all

We have a lot of SQL2000 databases and would like just backup and restore to SQL2005.

Is there anything that I need to look/aware at it apart of DTS stuff (we are not using much DTS).

Does the Level80 sets on SQL2005 for each database will have backward compatibility with SQL2000?

Thanks

Cannot Restore SQL2000 Backup To 2005 (Msg #601)

Jun 5, 2008

Hello,

In the process of migrating a logshipped database (in non recovery mode) from SQL2000 SP4 to SQL2005 SP2, I got the following error (sorry for the french translation!):
---
Conversion de la base de données 'AdStatistiques' de la version 539 à la version actuelle 611.
Base de données 'AdStatistiques' exécutant l'étape de mise à jour de la version 539 à la version 551.

RESTORE n'a pas pu démarrer la base de données 'adstatistiques'.
Msg 3013, Niveau 16, État 1, Ligne 1

Of course, the restore operation performs well when the destination is SQL2000. I suspect the integrity checker of SQL2005 to be less permissive, hence I run a checkdb on the original DB, which raise several errors, which are quite difficult for me to analyse:

Is there any easy option you can see to operate the transfer, since the backups I have from the DB already contain the data corruption?

Thanks a lot for any hint you could provide,

32-bit App Connectivity To 64-bit SQL2K5

May 9, 2008

Is there any reason why an application running on a 32-bit O/S that works with a SQL Server 2K database would not work with a SQL Server 2K5 64-bit database running on a 64-bit O/S?

It is my understanding that the connection layer (be it ODBC, OLEDB, ADODB, etc) would obfuscate any details regarding the underlying architecture... I wouldn't think the instructions sent would need to be any different, unless there is some deprecated call that is no longer supported.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Sql 7 And Sql2K5 Living Together

Dec 17, 2007

Hello,

I have installed in a workstation (windows xp pro) sql 7 server (database engine + client tools).
After that I installed sql server 2005 with named instance (hostmyinstance).But I didn't end this installation.
I had a message saying me that there are problems on clients tools. moreover when I open a dos window and type "sqlcmd", I have the same message (client problems).
I then change my sql7 port to 1434 (which isn't the default port).But even with that my sql 2005 sqlcmd don't work correctly.
My question is :

can one install sql 7 (server + client tools) and sql 2005 (server + client tools) in the same machine ( a workstation [windows xp pro] )?

Win2k3 R2 EE + SQL2k5 EE And 16GB RAM

Mar 27, 2008

For a SQL/2005 DB Server do I need the /3GB switch or not? I will have IIS running on the server; however, it won't be doing very much as the SQL Database is the main thing:

Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise w/16 GIG RAM 4 CPU (Virtual Machine)
SQL/2005 Enterprise Edition

Hardware: Dell Server 8 CPU w/32 GIG RAM running VM ESX V3

I know I need the /PAE switch to utilize Memory over 4 GB - the question is do I need the /3GB switch along with the /PAE switch?

Partition View In SQL2K5

Feb 28, 2008

I have a partition view named StudentRequest with underlying tables StudentRequest_T1 and StudentRequest_T2.

Primary Key is on NumericSchoolDBN, SchoolYear, TermId, StudentID, CourseCode

Partition View

Create View dbo.StudentRequestPartView with SchemaBinding
as
Select
NumericSchoolDBN, SchoolYear, TermId, StudentID, CourseCode, AssignedCourseCode, AssignedSectionId,
LockAssignedRequest, UpdatedByPID, UpdatedDate, CreatedByPID, CreatedDate, AuditCommentId, DebugTrace
from dbo.[StudentRequest_T1]

union all

Select
NumericSchoolDBN, SchoolYear, TermId, StudentID, CourseCode, AssignedCourseCode, AssignedSectionId,
LockAssignedRequest, UpdatedByPID, UpdatedDate, CreatedByPID, CreatedDate, AuditCommentId, DebugTrace
from dbo.[StudentRequest_T2]
go

Partition Tables

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[StudentRequest_T1](
[NumericSchoolDBN] [int] NOT NULL,
[SchoolYear] [smallint] NOT NULL,
[TermId] [tinyint] NOT NULL Check ([TermID] = 1),
[StudentID] [int] NOT NULL,
[CourseCode] [varchar](10) NOT NULL,
:
)

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[StudentRequest_T2](
[NumericSchoolDBN] [int] NOT NULL,

[TermId] [tinyint] NOT NULL Check ([TermID] = 2),
[StudentID] [int] NOT NULL,
[CourseCode] [varchar](10) NOT NULL,
:
)


I am able to insert, update and delete records in the StudentRequest view using simple DML SQL statements i.e.

e.g.
Insert into Student Request (NumericSchoolDBN, SchoolYear, TermId,€¦)
Values(12345, 2006, 1,€¦)

Delete from StudentRequest Where NumericSchoolDBN = 12345 and TermId = 1

But when I use complex SQL statements using self-joins€¦

Insert into Student Request (NumericSchoolDBN, SchoolYear, TermId,€¦)
Select NumericSchoolDBN, SchoolYear, TermID,€¦.
From Student Request sr1 left outer join Student Request sr2 on
Sr1.NumericSchoolDBN = Sr1.NumericSchoolDBN and
Sr1.SchoolYear = Sr2.SchoolYear and
Sr1.TermId = Sr2.TermId and
Sr1.StudentID = Sr2.StudentID and
Sr1.CourseCode = Sr2.CourseCode

I get the following error and I can€™t seem to find any documentation that this is a limitation!!!...

Msg 4439, Level 16, State 6, Procedure Course_UpdateCoursePromotion, Line 232
Partitioned view 'STARS.dbo.StudentRequest' is not updatable because the source query contains references to partition table '[STARS].[dbo].[StudentRequest_T1]'.

SSIS From SQL2K5 To MySQL

Apr 13, 2006

Hi,

We recently migrated from a SQL 2K to 2K5. We had an automatic DTS scheduled every night that would transfer data to a MySQL server on one of our client€™s machine. It worked like a charm in SQL 2K.

I am trying to figure out how I can connect to a MySQL data source using SSIS in 2K5 as I don€™t see an ODBC Destination anywhere in the Data Flow Task; and run the same transfer using 2K5.

Do I have to add a reference of some kind or does 2K5 doesn€™t support ODBC destinations?

Thanks

SQL2k5 Install - DTS/COM Error

Having problems installing SQL 2005 Developers Edition on a Terminal Services Server that already has SQL 2000 Developers Edition on it. I keep getting this error, no matter in what order I install packages:



Failed to install and configure assemblies M:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSTasksMicrosoft.SqlServer.MSMQTask.dll in the COM+ catalog. Error: -2147024894
Error message: The system cannot find the file specified.

The help link says to set the DTC service up to run as a network service and start it, but it already is and is already running. Restarting the DTC and then clicking on retry yields the same error.

Any ideas? I've been beating my head against this machine for a couple of days now.

Install SQL2k5 Using Different Cdkey

Aug 2, 2007



Hello everyone,

I need to get a server built for a client today. He has sent me the proof of purchase for his SQL2005. He is working on getting me the licence / cd key today (if thats even possible?).

I have our SQL 2005 server CD here that I wanted to use however when I get to the company name stage of the install the CD-key/licence code is greyed out. Any ideas on how I can change the embedded cdkey/licence to the clients so I can use our media today but with our clients cdkey?

This needs to be done today, its extremly important but due to a problem with logistics the media from the client was delayed untill mid next week.

Any help you can provide would be aprecaited.

Cheers

SQL2k5 SP1 Installation And Reboot

Feb 20, 2007

I installed SP1 for SS 2005 on a quasi-production server, which is why I didn't mind rebooting the server. Unfortunately, it's been 5 hours and the server still hasn't rebooted. (I see a gray screen and a pointer, and that's it... but there's still disk access happening. I'm not really sure what it's doing.)

What's the best way to avoid the 5 hour reboot in the future?

Thanks,
Robert

Populating The Reporting DB - (best Practices) (SQL2k5)

Jan 26, 2007

I've populated reporting DB's in the past using different techniques:

1. Have Transactions in Data Tier Write to OLTP AND Reporting DB Simultaneously

2. Log Shipping

3. Restore BAckups Nightly

4. Replication

5. DTS

My question is what is the BEST Practice in SQL2k5.

I'm all gung ho about using Mirroring but am not certain that this will be the best way to go.

My thoughts are something along the lines of this

1. have OLTP Mirrored to what I'll call a "Staging" DB. This is NOT to be used for Failover just as a means of accessing read only data for the Reporting DB

2. Have 2 DBs on another box that are flattened (Denormalized) for reporting (ReportA and ReportB)

3. Use SSIS to Populate the Report DBs in alternating sequences every XXX minutes (60 minutes let say)

4. Use Logic to let the Reporting Application Figure out which of the Two reporting DB's is "live". The Currently loading DB will be offline while it's being loaded and we'll alternate between the two (Exact method TBD but this wont be rocket science)



Now, I know this will "Work" but is this the best way to go about this ?

I do NOT want to use SSIS to populate the Reporting system directly from our OLTP system due to contention issues etc.

thoughts ?
