SQL Server 2005 - Convert .BAK File To .MDF
Mar 27, 2008
Hello There,
I would really appreciate if you can help me with this problem. I am currently using SQL Server 2005 Express for one of my web application. I have a .bak file (backup file) provided by my client which I want to use for testing purpose. Now I just want to know how can I use that backup file without installing SQL SERVER 2005 as one way to do this I know is to restore the database in SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Manager but I can't install SQL Server 2005.
To my knowledge, SQL Server Express uses .mdf file for database but what I have is .BAK file..
I would be really glad to see your quick answers.
Thank you for reading this far.
Sincerely,
Zulfiqar

Hi all,
I have a issue need your great help. Would you please help to check it and tell mw how to fix this issue? Thanks.
*****All of softwares are English version****
Server:
WIndows Server 2003 SP2 + SQL Server 2005 SP2
AS400:
V5R4
Client :
Winsows XP SP2 + SQL Server 2005 SP2
Client Access V5R4 Full Version.
*****All of softwares are English version****
Issue:
I have a file in the AS400 with Chinese characters and need to dowload to SQL Sever 2005 daily.
In the SQL Server, I created a database and table which collection is "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS", and I modified one of field which collection is from "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" to "Chinese_Taiwan_Stroke_CS_AS" (( the filed data type is "nvarchar" and the length is 42).
That mean that field can display the Chinese characters correctly.
In the SSIS,
1.Craeted a OLE DB Source to get the data ( The field name is "CUST_CHINESE_NAME" and the length is 42) from AS400
2.Craete a Data Conversion to convert that field from "String" to "Unicode String[DT_WSTR]" (The new field name is "Copy of CUST_CHINESE_NAME")
3.Create a Data Conversion 1 to convert that field from "Unicode String[DT_WSTR]" to "String[DT_STR]" and code page is change to "950"(The new field name is "Copy of Copy of CUST_CHINESE_NAME")
4. Creatd a OLE DB Destination to get that convert data and input the SQL Server ( the filed data type is "nvarchar" and the length is 42).
When I execute that SSIS, I got the error message in the third step.
****************************************************************************************************************************
[Data Conversion 1 [521]] Error: Data conversion failed while converting column "Copy of CUST_CHINESE_NAME" (487) to column "Copy of Copy of CUST_CHINESE_NAME" (544). The conversion returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".
[Data Conversion 1 [521]] Error: The "output column "Copy of Copy of CUST_CHINESE_NAME" (544)" failed because truncation occurred, and the truncation row disposition on "output column "Copy of Copy of CUST_CHINESE_NAME" (544)" specifies failure on truncation.

Hi,
I have a SQL Server 2005 Database that I would like to export to SQL Server Express.
How do I go about this?
I've tried backing it up, creating a new (blank) SQL Server Express Database and trying to restore it, but get the following message:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio------------------------------
Restore failed for Server 'PRODSOL-LAPTOP1SQLEXPRESS'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=9.00.2047.00&EvtSrc=Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.ExceptionTemplates.FailedOperationExceptionText&EvtID=Restore+Server&LinkId=20476
------------------------------ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'ProdsolPGC' database. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=9.00.2047.00&LinkId=20476
Neither of the links provide any more information and I'm sure that I'm missing a step out. I've tried scripting the existing database and then running the script against the new database, but I can't get that to work either - these blooming newbies!
Please help!
Thanks very much.
Regards
Gary

Hi all,
I need to use the SQLDataSource in Visual Web Developer (VWD) 2005 Express websites. The SQLDataSource must have the .mdf data in the project application. But I have a volume of the .mdb data for evaluation by using T-SQL of the SQL Server 2005 Express and VWD 2005 Express program. Is it possible to convert existing data from .mdb to .mdf? If it is possible, please tell me what software program to use and how to do it.
Thanks,

Our sql server 2005 database is receiving data from a third part program over which we have no control. We need to be able to automatically convert data entered in one column of one table to UPPER case only.
How can this be done in the table itself?

I've got a table adapter that connects using an oracle data connector. In the adapter, I'm using native oracle SQL such as:
select TO_DATE(SUBSTR(TO_CHAR(weird_oracle_field),0,12),'YYYYMMDDHH24MI') as dt_added from oracle_data_table
There's also a CASE statement in there with some other data transformations.
Anyway, I want to take the results of that Oracle query and put the dataset into a SQL Server Compact Edition database - within an application that I'm creating in Visual Studio 2005.
For whatever reason, I can't seem to do anything like that in 'bulk' and there aren't any data migration tools that work with anything other than "full" SQL Server versions. My client doesn't support SQL Server, but I can deploy my app with SQL CE. I need a 'local' copy of the database (for several reasons) and just can't seem to figure out how to make this work.
I'm really going nuts. I feel like I'm soooo close when I see the data I want in the table adapter - but I can't seem to actually *move* the data over!!
Can anyone help?
thanks,
Jon

The data file contains the answers given to questions asked during the course of an interview. This file contains data only for completed interviews. The file is ASCII based, and contains data in a card column format. This means that each record is spread over several rows in the file €“ called cards. Currently 39 cards make up one completed record, although this may change over time. There are 80 columns per row.
sample of data is as follows

Dear SQL folks,
We have files from an event log in a DEC Alpha server and we would like to create a database program to import these files and then be able to read and query the info in them.
These files contain information such as error codes about the machine that the Alpha controls. They also contain time stamps. I am told that these files are hexidecimal.
Someone mentioned in passing that if we use MSaccess as the database, we would first have to write a program to convert these files to a format that Access can understand.
But, we were told that SQL7 has Add-ins that comes on the CD that can convert these files to a format that SQL7 can then understand.
Does anyone know if this is true..and how difficult is file conversion to accomplish?
If anyone thinks that they might be able to help us, I can sent them a small sample of the hex files
Thank you in advance

I have a table in a flat file that I need to convert to SQL Server 2000. Within this file are 4 different record definitions (all are similar but with different lengths).
I have experience converting files that are of 2 different record definitions, but never with this many. What kind of data migration techniques are available for such a process? I need to be able to get these 4 different definitions into 4 different tables.
It is coming from a COBOL program in UNIX.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
