We are currently on SQL Server 2000. We have another server that has SQL SERVER 2005. The exisiting SQL SERVER 2005, is a production server, used for Reports in SSRS 2005 In the next 2 mths, we need to migrate our dbs to SQL Server 2005. First off, I would like to TEST and ensure all the dbs/pkgs etc run fine in 2005 before I go live .
I need to know how do I get started with TESTING this, i.e. how do I move the dbs from existing 2000 server to sql server 2005?
Hi All, We are planning to move from sql server 2000 and sql server 2005. Just want to know how well is the backward compatibility and things that we should take care of before migration.
We recently migrated our 32bit instance of SQL Server 2005 SP2 to a 64bit instance of SQL Server 2005 SP2. The migration was performed by copying all .mdf and .ldf files (including master, tempdb, etc...).
Everything seems to have worked nearly flawlessly except for a few glitches seeming to relate to the master database. I am hoping there is a way to mitigate these issues without reinstalling and performing the migration again.
First, when attempting to view the Activity Monitork, I get the error:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
Cannot show requested dialog.
Unable to execute requested command.
Unable to launch Activity Monitor. You may not have sufficient permissions. (ActivityMonitor)
View or function 'master.sys.dm_exec_sessions' has more column names specified than columns defined. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 4502)
Second, the procedure: master.dbo.sp_procedure_params_rowset fails because of the line: option (OPTIMIZE CORRELATED UNION ALL).
Like I said, I know this is probably an issue arising from copying the master database, but if it is at all possible to avoid another migration, I want to.

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
I have Restored database from SQL server 2000 to SQL server 2005 and found that Full Text catalogs are not Populated.
I tried using, exec sp_fulltext_catalog 'CatalogName', 'start_full' and it showed the message "Warning: Request to start a full-text index population on table or indexed view 'dbo.Corpora' is ignored because a population is currently active for this table or indexed view."
Please let me know on "How to Repopulate all the Full text catalogs"
Hi all, I am Migrating a database from sybase to sql server 2000. I Have already created objects in sql server 2000. I have to only populate it with the data. I have decided to genrate insert script from the aquadata tool and run the script againgt sql server database. It works fine except for few table which have 1,50,000 and 9,00,000 rows. It shows insufficent memory error when i try to run the script with 1,50,000 and the script with 9,00,000 doesn't open in management studio. Please help.
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?
Do we need to perform any special checks when we deploy SQL Server application developed using 32 bit SQL 2005 Edition in 64 bit SQL 2005 Edition?
To my understanding, 64 bit SQL Server 2005 provides better memory management and provides high performance when compared to 32 bit and it should not be an issue in deploying the application developed in 32 bit SQL Server 2005 in 64 bit environment.
Any help/hints on deploying in 64 bit SQL Server (for a product[SPs, TSQL Stmts] developed using 32 bit SQL Server) is appreciated.
Here i had a task to migrate sybase 8.0 database to mssqlserver 2005 .how can i migrate this using INTEGRATED SERVICES (SSIS) or any other options. .Please try to provide some basical info because i am new to sybase versions.
I want to migrate data from Oracle Database to SQL Server 2005 by using SSIS Package. Client wants to migrate just data not schema. Schema is already there for SQL Server, generated through script.
I tried to migrate the data by using import-export wizard in SSIS. But, its asking for creating new tables when migrating data.
I want to migrate data in existing tables, without dropping already existed tables or creating new tables.
The Environment: I have an old Windows 2000 BackOffice server (Retail but with no media) that hosts a small database (<50mb) that is hosted on the local SQL Server 2000 installation. The network has 8 PCs that connect to the database via ODBC connections. I just purchased a new server running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition (OEM).
What I€™m Trying to Accomplish: I want to decommission the old 2000 BackOffice server and move the database to the new 2003 Standard server. I€™m trying to do this on the cheap, so I really want to avoid spending thousands on a new SQL server license.
Things I€™m Considering: 1) Migrating the database from SQL 2000 Standard to SQL 2005 Express 2) Moving the database from SQL 2000 Standard to MS Access 3) Purchasing SQL Server 2005 licenses and upgrading 4) Purchasing SQL 2000 Server licenses
The options are pretty much listed in my order of preference. I€™d like to move from SQL 2000 Server to SQL 2005 Express, but I haven€™t really found a lot of material on the subject since people customarily go the other way.
Any advice or alternative recommendations would be much appreciated!
Scenario Recently moved a SQL2000 database to SQL2005. Collation on SQL 2000 database server was SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS Colaltion on SQL 2005 database server is Latin1_General_CI_AS
After restoring the SQL 2000 database on SQL 2005 we observed that the database collation was SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. We have altered the database collation to Latin1_General_CI_AS. We understand this will work for all new objects created on the database but existing objects (prior to the collation change) will continue to have the 'SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS' collation.
What is the best method to change the collation of the older columns to 'Latin1_General_CI_AS' - 1) Run ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN <colname> <datatype> COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS <nullability> on each varchar/char column
or
2) For each table BCP out data DROP TABLE RECREATE TABLE (taking the new collation Latin1_General_CI_AS) BCP in data

We want to migrate our SQL Server 2000 Databases to SQL Server 2005 including all objects, sprocs, views, jobs, securty, DTS Packages, etc. Pretty much everything.. If anyone has done this in the past for enterprise level databases, I would greatly appreciate it if they could send me some documentation, references, pointers.
Our costumer is going to install new hardware. Actually he is using 2 servers which both have windows 2000 server (+ AD) and sql server 2000 installed. On the new servers he will use windows 2003 and sql server 2005 The hard part will be migrating sql server 2000 to sql server 2005. I have read (not 100%, though) the SQL2005UpgradeTechRef document and downloaded SQLUASetup.exe to be ready (microsoft sql server upgrade analyzer software)
But actually i want to know what is best upgrade path and what are your experience. Is there already a got (or better or perfect) document availabe for the sql server 2000 to sql server 2005 sql server side by side upgrade. Please help! thanks
My database is running right now at SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition. We would like to upgrade it to SQL server 2005 Standard Edition.
Since this database was upgraded from MS Access 2000 to SQL server 2000. This database is accessed by a proprietary application. I don't know some of the details about this application.
There is one more issue with this database, replication was implemented earlier and now it is disabled.
I am thinking that to take a full backup from SQL server 2000 and restore it in SQL server 2005. What do you think?
Please let me know if you have any other idea.
I have another question for you. Right now replication is disabled and I restore SQL server 2000 database to SQL server 2005. Would there be any problem when we try to implement replication again?
We have our databases running in sql server 7 and sql server 2000. Our clients are planning to migrate to sql server 2005 very soon. The front end is VB for few applications and .NET for another 2 applications.
We maintain sql server authentication and have logins created in the security folder.
I was able to download the sql server express and management studio express and restore the sql server 7 db there. I tried to create a sql server login in sql server 2005 also. But then, the server seems to allow only windows authentication.
Can someone help please?
Also, can someone advise on what change might be necessary in the application when we migrate to 2005.
We are migration few database from SQL 2000 Enterprise Server to the SQL 2005 Enterprise Server (64 bit-Itanium Server)
Problem :
- The performance difference observer was not much (Just 15-18%)
- The CPU Utilization goes to 100% immediately, when the software login screen appears and it sustains in between 90% to 100%
- Multi-User Access (3 or more concurrent users), the sql performance is tremendously slow.
Steps followed for Migration:
- We have used the backup and restore method to migrate the data from SQL 2000 Enterprise Server to the SQL 2005 Enterprise Server (64 bit-Itanium Server).
- We ran the DBCC DBREINDEX for each affected tables
- We executed the sp_updatestats procedure for all the tables
- Upgraded the DB compatibility version to 90
- Installed the SQL 2005 Enterprise Server (64 bit-Itanium Server) Service pack 2.
One thing that we observed, was the memory usage, on SQL 2000 the sqlservr.exe uses around 1.5 GB where as on the SQL 2005 its just 120 MB.
A normal select query on 2000 Server took 11-12 sec, having 10 lac records, and the same query on 2005 took 1 min (3-5 sec CPU process taken by sqlservr and rest by the Sever Management Studio.
The only differance noted was that on 2000 the entire data was displayed at one go where as in 2005 the data was displayed at the 1st sec, and was filling the rest in the buffer, and to finally display entire data it took 1 min.
Also
when we run this query
select * from sys.dm_os_sys_info
one column os_priority_class shows a value = 32 ? what does this means.
In the MSSQLSERVER SERVICES, properties, there is a parameter displaying value
Advanced > Running Under 64 bit OS = No ? what does this means.
Could anyone pls suggest as to how to increase the sqlservr.exe memory area, and also how the enhance the performance.
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

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)
