Could someone help us with a problem we're having with regard to
moving several databases from SQL 7 to SQL 2000 on different servers
in different domains. Our current SQL 7 server resides in one domain,
and holds several databases. We now want to move these to a SQL 2000
server in another domain.
We're trying to use the Copy Database wizard on the SQL 2000 server
(logged in as the local admin account), selecting the SQL 7 server as
the source, using 'sa' account on that server. The target is the SQL
2000 server, again using 'sa' account. We're leaving everything else
with regards to logins, jobs etc as default (i.e. taking everything
that can be found), but when the steps execute, the last step that
brings the database across fails with an error code -2147467259 -
Failed to create the share OMWWIZI.
Can anyone help us out with this error, or provide any suggestions as
to what we can do?
I have been asked by my boss to prepare for a migration from SQL Server 6.5 & 7.0 to 2000. Also they want me to produce a consolidation process does anyone have an idea how to go about this? I would be more than happy with any suggestion.
I am in process og migrating the databases from SQL 7 to SQL 2000. I was able to backup all the user databases but when I tried to restore the MSDB database in order to copy jobs I get Error message saying it's the wrong version.
Does anyone know how to copy jobs and logins from SQL 7 to Sql 2000.
We are in the process of Migrating our SQL Server 7.0 databases to SQL Server 2000. We have purchased two new servers for this process. What is the best method for the Database Migration ? - Copy Database Wizard ? - DTS ?
I have a dedicated SQL server with SQL 7.0. I want to migrate and upgrade it to SQL 2000 instance under clustered environment. On my SQL 2000 upgrade wizard, I could not change the destination server name. By default it is my server name. I want to change it to the virtual Server name. Can somebody help me? Any tips and pitfalls?
I have to transfer existing DTS packages from sqlserver 2000 to sqlserver 2005, Please let me know the steps by which i can migrate all the runing DTS into SSIS into sqlserver 2005
I have to migrate our existing SQL Server 2000 (standard edition) running on Windows 2000 server (32 bit) to a new windows 2003 server (64 bit) (SQL 2005 standard edition). I am thinking of doing this migratin after hours (or may be on weekend so a
I have planned the following steps (in order).
1. Install SQL Server 2005 on new server.(windows authenticatin and a SQL server will be running on a separate domain account)
2. Download SQL server upgrade advisor on current SQL Server 2000 (windows 2000) and run a report.
3. Back up (Full) SQL Server 2000
4. Script logins and schedule tasks on SQL 2000
5. Restore database on SQL 2005
6. Create jobs by runing Jobs scripit on SQL 2005
7. Create users and passwords by running the exported script file. Please refer to: How to transfer logins and passwords between instances of SQL Server http://support.microsoft.com/kb/246133/en-us
I am aware that I might face issues of db compatibility level, statistics out of date so I need to update statistics and may be redindex all my tables
PLEASE LET ME Know if I am missing something obvious? Not sure about our existing DTS packages? Any information. Right now I am just thiking of running all my existing 2000 DTS in 2005 as legacy
Note: Rob, Tara, Michael Valentine Jones, Mladen or Nigel , if you cam provide some input from your wealth of experience on this matter. I would sincerely appreciate it.
HiWe are going to upgrade from SQL 2002 to 2005. We have approx. 100mrows of data on the main table and hand of stored procs and views.What we had in mind was that we would dts the data out, script thestored procs and view out and import the it back into SQL 2005.Is there smarter way of doing this?The key thing is that the data must be cleanThanks

Looking a preparing a SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 Migration Plan to include the following points. It will be a side-by-side migration where the current environment will run in parallel with the new.
1. Assessment of current SQL 2000 environment. (Hardware, Databases, SQL components such as DTS) 2. Seqence for Steps to perform duing the migration 3. Required resources 4. TimelinesAnyone have such as plan?
I€™m currently evaluating SQL Server 2005 to what advantages there would be to upgrading from SQL Server 2000. Our existing systems make much use of DTS so it critical for us to be able to run SQL Server 2000 DTS packages in SQL Server 2005. Having installed the Enterprise SQL Server 2005 CTP successfully on a new Windows 2003 server and following the advice to install Legacy Components I find the Migration Wizard (under Legacy> Data Transformation Services) fails with the following error after entering source and target dialogs: This wizard will close because it encountered the following error: Additional Information: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index (mscorlib) Also when trying to open a structured storage DTS file I incur another error: Unable to load DTS 2000 Runtime. This component may have not been installed (Microsoft.SqlServer.DtsObjectExplorerUI) This error seems to imply that the DTS 2000 Runtime needs installing. Can this component be downloaded and installed separately?
We currently have a web server running SSRS 2000 and are looking to migrate this to a newer server using the same version of SSRS. My question is, how I would go about migrating the reports, subscriptions, etc. Our database is on another server for both ReportServer and ReportManager. I would like to be able to simply attach the new instance to the existing database and have everything work exactly the same. I know we have exported a key from our server. I don't know if this is something that would be needed or not.
Any help that can be provided is greatly appreciated. I'm sure this is all covered in some mountain of documentation somewhere, but I'm hoping someone will be kind enough to provide the quick answer. If not, I will head toward our documentation.
I am trying to migrate Databases from MS SQL 2000 (server A) to MS sql 2005 (server B).
The problem i have when i use database copy wizard is that it gives an error and the login will not be migrated .
I tried backup and restore of the databases as well as detach and attach.All cases the logins will have a problem.
For example say for database intranet all the tables stored procedures etc gets migrated but under security >>users (say intrauser) i double click user and the the login name wont appear .and when i try to close the window it says login name must be specified(SQLmanagerUI)
hi, i must convert my SqlServer2000 to SqlServer2005. I just do it on my Computer and i run a component "SQL Server upgrade wizard" it convert my SQLServer. But now i must do it on my Server Web and if i run that component it give me an error : "must run SQL 6.5" and i don't installed it. Can i download it with all right migration? thank you
I have a client that is moving their web ap (which has already been developed) from one host to their own servers. The problem is that they don't have MS SQL Server 2000, but they have MSDE. All the code is already writen to work with SQL SERVER 2000.
I have a couple of questions:
1. Can I safely assume that all this code will work with MSDE and all I have to change is the connection string? For example:
SqlConnection myConn = new SqlConnection(connstring);
In other words, can I still use the SqlClient classes to work with MSDE, or will I have to modify the code?
2. Will it be a problem creating the tables and migrating the data from SQL SERVER to MSDE? Can I use Enterprise Manager to do this?
3. I never had to remotely (or even locally) connect to a MSDE database alone, I always develop with a SQL Server db. Can I use a similar connection string for the MSDE database? Do I have to create a data provider on the local machine? Can you give me an example of a MSDE connection string?
I am doing my final semester project. It is a migration tool that converts the DB2 PL dialect into MSSQL Server's T-SQL dialect. I am in need of sample DB2 PL files(procedures, UDFs, triggers) for testing the tool. Please point out me to some DB2 files repository links or if you have some files, please give me the same. I will use this only for testing purposes.
Hi all, i was just thrown into SQL stuff at my job. For now I need to complete a migration, but soon i'm being sent to training to make sure that I can do this easier later. Heres my question
I backed up the database, then restored it to the new server. That worked fine. I couldn't log in...so i did some searching and found out about the sp_change_users_login command, I got my login fixed and I can log in. Now, I have about 1000 other users to change and I don't want to do those manually. Noone is using this database, so if needed, I could back it up and restore it differnetly if needed or If someone can give me a .sql file to run to fix all usernames and tell me how to run a .sql (i'm that new to it) that would be REALLY appreciated. Anyway, thanks in advance, looking forward to SQL administration.
OK so I'm just the Network Admin here, but our DBA's are off doing other stuff. So I thought I may inquire here about how the easiest way to migrate from SQL Server 2000 to 2005? The first server I'd like to migrate is just databases with a few users, no DTS packages or anything like that... The only problem is that there are several hundred db's, so moving them one at a time is not an option. Has anyone here had successful experience with doing this? Thanks in advance for your help! -Andrew
and it seems really straight forward. does this tutorial cover everything i need to do for data migration? do i need to watch out for anything? if anyone knows of a better tutorial please let me know. thanks for the help.
Hi all. I'll say from the get go that I'm no SQL guru. I'm primarily a web dev who has been given the data jobs kind of by default so I'm definitely no DBA.
Anyway, having established my noobness, I have encountered an issue. The employer recently decided to upgrade our databases from 2000 to 2005 and I have been tasked to migrate the data from old to new. I have discovered the Import/Export Wizard and got it to move all the data in a dev database we use...but there was one problem. It seems that the tables in 2000 that had columns designated as identity columns do not have the identity attribute when they arrive in 2005.
I haven't figured a way to alter them to give them that attribute once they're in 2005 so I'm wondering if there's something I can do/change in the import process that would retain the identity property of the columns if I were to re-import them.
This is my first migration attempt so dumping it and starting over is no great loss...but any help would be most appreciated.
I am trying to migrate few of my SQL jobs to SQL2K5. Can I simply script and execute them on the new environment. I hope the script is forward compatible.

Hi all,I am using the Oracle Workbench for migrating my DB currently on SqlServer 2000 to Oracle 9i. During the migration the following happensSELECT @tBaseTable = tBaseTable, @tDBColumnName = tDBColumnNameFROM tblColumnMain WITH (NOLOCK) left join tblCustomField WITH(NOLOCK) on aColumnID = nColumnIDWHERE aColumnID = @nPropertyIDgets converted toSELECT tBaseTable, tDBColumnNameINTOSPROC_PROPDATA.tBaseTable, SPROC_PROPDATA.tDBColumnName, FROMsa.tblColumnMain, sa.tblCustomFieldWHERE (aColumnID = nColumnID) AND (aColumnID =SPROC_PROPDATA.nPropertyID_);and gives the warning that complex outer joins maynot be reliablyconvertedOn the other hand the following codeselect @keyid = a.keyID, @pubs=b.pubs fromssd1 a left outer join ssd2 b on a.l_name = b.l_namewhere b.l_name = @namemigrates perfectly to Oracle asSELECT a.keyID, b.pubsINTO SPROC_JOINTEST8.keyid, SPROC_JOINTEST8.pubsFROM ssdash.ssd1 a, ssdash.ssd2 bWHERE (a.l_name = b.l_name(+)) AND(b.l_name = SPROC_JOINTEST8.name);with the same warning ...Could anyone enlighten me as to what exactly is the difference betweenthese 2 above cases.Also the migration bench seems to be removing nolocks and such stuff allaround. Any workaround for this is also needed.ssDash--Posted via http://dbforums.com
We are using an ASP.Net Application with MS SQL 2000 as the backend and NHibernate as the Interface. Now we are planning to migrate to MS SQL 2005 with NHibernate only as the the interface. I wish to knwo what are the possible issues,risks and impacts if we go for this migration on the Application, NHibernate and the Enterprise Manager.
I have a fairly large web application that was built with SQL Server 2000 and .NET 1.1. We're planning on moving to .NET 2.0 eventually, but there's a lot of work to be done before that happens. In the short term, we're looking to purchase a new database server and would like to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 at the same time. Is it as simple as recreating our databases on this new system and changing the connection string, or are there other gotchas? As far as what we're doing with SQL Server 2000, it's really nothing more than tables, views, and stored procedures. Thanks in advance for any advice.
I am in a process of migration our current SQL Server 2000 (Standard Edition with SP3 running on 32 bit windows 2000 server) to SQL Server 2005 (Standard with SP1 running on X64 windows 2003 server)?
For migration does current SQL Server 2000 requires Service Pack 4 Installed?
We migrated our database from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. But we faced some problems, according to the requirements of our project we dont want to apply some constraints on some fields of some tables. But when we run the database script of our old database on SQL 2005, it applied many constraints which causing some serious problems in our project. There are about 100+ tables in our database and some one told me that we have to false every constraint manually. Now, my question is that is there any solution of our this problem.
Hi. Wondered if I might get a bit of advice on a minor collation problem I've experienced after migrating a database form SQL Server 2000 to 2005?
Users reported an error appearing in pages in a web-based application and I traced the problem to a stored procedure that was using a temporary table. I retained the original collation - SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS - after migration and the error showing up was 'Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and "Latin1_General_CI_AS" in the equal to operation.' This makes sense as I guess temporary tables are assuming tempdb's collation. Resolution in this case was fairly simple, which was to apply an explicit collation to one of the columns in the temporary table (it only had three columns, only one requiring the collation). However the longer-term question is should I: (a) resolve similar issues in the same way as and when they arise; (b) change the collation of the migrated database to that of the default for system and new databases under 2005 - i.e. Latin1_General_CI_AS; or (b) change the collation of tempdb and the other system databases to match that of the migrated databases (sounds risky)?
I would probably go for (a) or perhaps (b) but could use some expert advise on the matter.
