Restore From V7 To 2000 ?
Jul 1, 2004
I have encountered a slight problem restoring a SQL Server 7 database to Server 2000.
In some of the tables, all records are duplicated.
When I try to delete them naturally I get an error "Too many rows were affected by update". What are my options here?

I am trying to restore a database that was backed up in SQL 2000 to our server which is running SQL 7.0 and I'm getting an error message. Is there a compatibility issue and if it is how can I resolve it?
Thanks

I am installing SQL 2000 on a brand new server. Once installed I will need to restore my db's from our current SQL 7.0 server. I know I can restore the user db's. I've read that you can not restore the MSDB and master db's. So What steps would I take to make sure I get all the info in these db's? I found an article on how to transfer logins and passwords, so that should get me my logins. I'm guessing I'll have to script up my packages /jobs somehow. How do I go about doing this? And what else am I missing that I will need to do in order for my master/msdb to contain everything that it contained on the SQl 7.0 server?
Also should I make the server name the same as the server name on the current box or do I have to make it another name? I'm talking about under the SQL server group.
Also I would like to keep the 7.0 version up for a bit and just make sure the 2000 side is working the way I want to . Our db are datawarehouse db that we use with another software package. So I will need to make changes there before I can totally turn it over to use the SQL 2000 db's One I've done this then I'll be ready for the switch. I will then restore the SQL 7.0 db again on the sql 2000 server and should be ready to go at that time.
What else am I missing. Any tips/precautions?

Hi...
I am trying to restore a week-old backup from a file of one database to a different (new) database for development. This is something that I do on a regular basis and have never had issues before. Now it is failing using both QE and Enterprise Mangler and am getting this error message:
Server: Msg 3135, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
The backup set in file 'D:BACKUPS......bak' was created by BACKUP DATABASE...FILE=<name> and cannot be used for this restore operation.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
I have tried this....
RESTORE DATABASE temp_new_db
FROM DISK = 'D:BACKUPS..mybackupfile.bak'
WITH REPLACE
And this....
RESTORE FILELISTONLY
FROM DISK = 'D:BACKUPS..mybackupfile.bak'
RESTORE DATABASE temp_bio_remote
FROM DISK = 'D:BACKUPS..mybackupfile.bak'
WITH MOVE 'Original_DB' TO 'D: emp_new_db.mdf',
MOVE 'Original_DB_log' TO 'D: emp_new_db..ldf'
What am I doing wrong? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance...

Hello All,I am not a SQL Server expert, but I have been put in a prettyprecarious situtation and I am close to panicking :( I have need torestore a SQL database from backup (through Enterprise Manager). Thedatabase got corrupt and I detached it, then was unable to attach itagain. I created a new database with the same name and file names torestore to. When I go to All Tasks, restore, and restore from apreviously run full backup, it says "SQL Server is currently in theprocess of restoring the backup set," but the progress bar does notbudge. I look in the data folder and see the full sized transactionlogs (35GB I know, need to be shrunk). The .mdf file remains at 1024Kthough. Do I need to just wait longer? Normally when restoring from aSQL Server .BAK file, the progress is shown to me as it goes along. Ido not know what to do here. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Iapologize for sounding like a newbie, but with SQL Server, I amdefinitely in that category.Thanks,-D

Dear all,
I have a backup for SQL server database.
It use differential backup.
I use following steps to restore the database to one of date's backup,because I want to monitor this date's data.
(1) restore a set of the complete backup first.
and select " Leave database nonoperational but about to restore additional transaction logs"
(2) restore one of date's backup, the backup number is 70.
if I restore the backup number by sequence after a set of complete backup is restore, it is ok
But I can not restore them by sequence,because there are many diffenential backup.
The error message is :
Cannot apply the backup on device 'c: empCk2006backup' to database 'CK2006'.
Restore database is terminating abnornally.
I have tried to use following choice :
Force restore over existing database
Leave database operational. NO additional tracsaction logs can be restored.
Leave database nonoperational but able to restore additional transaction logs.
Leave database read-only and able to restore addtional transaciton logs.
But it also failed to restore.
How should I do?
Thanks you

Is it possible to uninstall SQL 2005 and reinstall SQL 2000 if I need to? I would obviously have a backup copy of the database(s) from the SQL 2000 version. If so, is this a major ordeal to perform?

Is there a way to restore a "single" object in SQL Server 2000? (I only need 1 table and 1 stored procedure restored -- however it appears as though I need to restore the ENTIRE DB to get to these!)

Hello!
I have a bug in SQL Server 2000 that I would like to discuss.
The bug is described briefly on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821334.
"The potential for inconsistency in the backup history tables backupset and backupmediafamily is resolved. This issue may cause the restore process to point to the wrong backup files."
According to my experiences the bug is extremely serious. SQL Server backup and restore operations are not fully reliable. If you have a disaster situation there is a possibility that you can not perform a restore.
Technically a media_family_id is generated in a backup operation and inserted into msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily. What could happen is that a media_family_id, that already exists in backupmediafamily, is generated.
The bug is fixed from version 8.00.0859, but only if you have an special undocumented trace flag (3003) enabled.
Here is the information that I have got from Microsoft about this trace flag.
"Trace flag 3003 changes how SQL generates media_set_id for new backup files. It will guarantee that new media_set_id values in backupset table are unique when you create a new file with your backup. This is the only place in code where TF 3003 is used so it will not impact your SQL Server operations."
I have a SQL Server with 80 databases. I have a maintenance plan with full backup every 24 hours and log backup every 5 minutes.
The error happened on my server a few times every 24 hours. I believe it's a general problem.
Best regards
Ola Hallengren

My customer has SQL Server 2005. I have SQL Server 2000 on my laptop (on XP Pro). I believe I have an empty database the same as theirs, but I need to restore their data. They sent me a normal SQL Backup, but my laptop threw a fit and cannot work with it.
They are now trying to export the database to Microsoft Access and send me that, but I won't get that until next week now. However is there a better and easier solution for those of us with insufficient experience of this, please?
Many thanks,
Caspar

scott writes "Hi!
I have been asked to write a DTS package that copies a database (call it DBOLD) to another database (call it DBNEW) every night. I do the following:
BACKUP DATABASE DBOLD_App
TO DISK = 'C:ackupDBOLD.bak'
WITH INIT
GO
Then I do the following:
RESTORE DATABASE DBNEW FROM DISK = 'C:ackupDBOLD.bak' WITH MOVE 'DBOLD_App_Data'
TO '... the new one .MDF', REPLACE,
MOVE 'DBOLD_App_Log' TO '... the new one.LDF', REPLACE
The RESTORE often (but not always) fails, particularly if 2005 Reporting Services has queried the data in DBNEW during the day. There should be no-one using the DBNEW overnight when the DTS package runs, so I have permission to "toss then overboard" if they are (note - DBNEW is effectively read-only, for reporting purposes, and is completely refreshed each night, so lost updates etc are not an issue).
How can I force the restore to proceed? I've tried dropping, detaching/attaching but the existing connection(s) apparently prevent this. I dont care about the contents of DBNEW as the data is conmpletely refreshed each night.
If you have any ideas I would be pleased to hear them...
Thanks in advance...Scott"

Does anyone know if this works to where the data is viewable/usable?
I have an application that takes datasets out of the SQL database. We decommisioned our old SQL 2000 SP4 machine and brought in a SQL 2005 Server. What we did was backed up the old database and then restored it on the new Server.
Now the application does not see the old datasets but will collect new ones that are viewable. We can import older datasets but we have nearly 27 GB of data, which our DBA can see the old tables in Enterprise Manager but our applciation can't see it.
I'm thinking it might be a schema issue or the way that 2005 translate the odler 2000 SP4 database. Does anyone know, or have they run a back up on a older 2000 Server and then restored it to a 2005?
Thank you.

Of course I'll try this before I go live, but I figured I'd askhere first. I've read the docs, and the answer is unclear.My current backup strategy is:Take a full database backup occasionally (like, every two weeks).Back up logs every five minutes.This works, but restoring the database all the way through cantake a while, as I've sometimes spun through 800+ log restores.I'd like to change toTake a full database backup occasionally (like, every two weeks).Take a differential backup every day.Back up logs every five minutes.So, I'd have this set of backups after day twoFULLLOGS 1-100DIFFERENTIALLOGS 101-200When I go to restore, do I always have to doFULLDIFFERENTIALLOGS 101-200or can I doFULLLOGS 1-100LOGS 101-200?I guess what I'm really asking is: is there any reason to keepthe "old" logs around (in this case 1-100), if I assume I alwayshave the latest differential?I suppose I *might* need them to do a "point in time" restore,i.e.FULLLOGS 1-53.but assuming I never want to do that, can I discard the logsthat are earlier than my latest differential?

Hi,
I've got a question regarding attaching/restoring of DBs and wonder if anyone could help me out.
Does SQL Server 2000 provide a functionality to attach/restore DB automatically? ie, some kind of polling service to attach/restore DB that were detached previously?
Thanks
Danny.
