SQL Server 2k Migration To PostgreSQL
Mar 4, 2004
Hi all
I hope you can help me in some way.
Basically for the last 5 months i've developed a SQL 2k db for my company.
All of a sudden they quite fancy using Linux on the server, therefore i would be required to use PostgreSQL instead of SQL Server 2k.
I could do with some advice about how PostgreSQL and SQL Server compare? and how much work would be involved in migrating from one to the other.
Points i've found myself and may be an issue are:
I've used some of SQL Servers XML capabilites and as far as i can tell PostgreSQL doesn't support XML.
I've made extensive use of functions that return table variables etc... is there a similar idea i can use in PostgreSQL?
Extensive use of Stored Procedures and T-SQL etc...
DTS packages. Any equivalent or similar idea?
(ps i've also posted this in the PostgreSQL but since no one replyed i was hoping the sql server boffs could help).

hello everyone!
I'm currently dumping tables from PostgreSQL 7 to SQL Server 2K and I've been wondering if it's possible to create a trigger between the two databases.
..like if there's an insert to a PostgreSQL table, the trigger inserts the same row to the SQL Server table.
If it is possible, please do send me a sample code.
Thanks!

Hi,
I´m building an aplication with VB.net and SQL Server 9, but in the future it will be compatible with PostgreSQL (by another developer), so my question is, if anyone knows what "data types" in SQL Server 9 i must use to maintain compatibility with PostgreSQL, so that when the time come for the conversion i don t have to chage the "Data Types" on each table.
Any help would be apreciated.

I am trying to import one table from postgreSQL to SQL Server 2005 using sql server import and export wizard. When i test the connection after providing data source, location, username, password in the Data Link Properties section I get the message "Test Connection Succeeded". As soon as i press next to go onto next step i get the following error.
TITLE: SQL Server Import and Export Wizard
------------------------------
Cannot get string literals from the database connection "Provider=PostgreSQL.1;User ID=sa;Data Source=localhost;Location=TestMasterMap;Extended Properties=".

I am working on two versions of an application, one of which will be awindows forms application (which will need to be redistributable) andthe other will be a web application.I have MS Visual Studio 2005 (along with the developer's edition of MSSQL Server), but not MS Access. I also have MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sun'sapplication server, Tomcat and Apache web server. I am working onWindows XP Pro, and have installed the .NET 3 SDK and all relevantrelated products I could find (e.g. 2 extensions packages for VisualStudio).I have one MS Access database, to which my users should have read onlyaccess. I have, and have used, a tool for importing MS Accessdatabases into MySQL. I expect that SQL Server has a similar utilityhidden somewhere (where I haven't yet looked, though I HAVE beenlooking - obviously in the wrong places). I have located a similarutility for importing MS Access databases into PostgreSQL. I have notyet decided which servers to use for the web version, but that isanother story, for which I may raise another thread in due course (butI welcome suggestions which may reduce the effort required givenrequired effort for the windows forms app).My problem is for the windows form aplication (intended for use by asingle family). I expect to use ADO.NET. The question is, should Iimport the Access database into MS SQL, and redistribute it, along withMS SQL Server Express (or is that necessary), or distribute it just asan Access database and use the jet engine to access it. A relatedquestion is, "Does ADO.NET support creating new databases for a givenengine?" Imagine a recipe database. It is easy enough to create a SQLscript that creates all the required tables, indices, foreign keys,&c., but can I submit that SQL script to an ADO.NET object, along witha file name, and have it create, e.g., an Access database with thesupplied name. Or do I have to create a database file with nothing init other than the schema?I have more questions, but they'll have to wait.ThanksTed

Hello,
First of all, this is my first time using SQL SERVER 2005 express, before that i'm using POSTGRESQL database.
I would like to know how what's the equivalent command for "BEGIN","ROLLBACK","COMMIT", these are the POSTGRESQL COMMAND use to start transaction, rollback transaction and commit transaction.
Example when i use this kind of command is . I need to insert data into 3 table. before insert into table1, i issue "begin", start to insert data into table1, if table1 no error, then i proceed to table 2 and table3. if table2 and table3 no error. then issue "commit" to commit the changes. but if any error happen between table1 and table 2 or table 2 and table3, i will issue "rollback" to roll any changes that i make to table1, table2 and table3.
Maybe some one can teach me how to achieve using SQL SERVER 2005 EXPRESS.
Thanks and Regards.

Forgive me if this question is a bit too generic, if it is, feel free tojust not respond.I have a database which has been running in PostgreSQL for a number ofyears at this stage which I want to port into MS SQL server.It seems that the SQL that Postgre outputs when I do a backup is notsyntactically correct within MS-SQL server.My question is, does anyone have any documentation on how to convert adatabase from the Postgre platform to SQL server? Is it possible usingan ODBC connection to import a database structure including tabledefinitions, views etc into SQL Server?Failing this, does anyone have any suggestions on where I might start -I did attempt to go through the SQL code and modify it to suit SQLserver, but it's about 3,500 lines of code excluding the insertstatements (which themselves are also wrong) and almost every line needssomething changed when comparing SQL syntax from Postgre to MSSQL serverThanks in advance for any comments/suggestions.Engada.--Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

I am faced with the following dilemma: I have a Windows desktop application developed in Visual Basic .NET, it's a fairly large size, about 100,000 lines of code. I developed it in Visual Studio .NET 2003 and I recently converted it to Visual Studio 2005. My database is PostgreSQL 7.4. I have roughly 500 database objects, i.e. tables, views, sequences, and functions, in it. My biggest table probably has a few hundred thousand records in it.
Another developer in my company will soon be starting work on a Web application that will be pulling its data from the same database as the above mentioned Windows application. So basically we have a situation where two different applications, a Windows and a Web one, have to access the same database.
Currently the plan is to develop the Web application in ColdFusion. However, since I already have a large-scale application in VB.NET that will be accessing the same database I was thinking it might be a better idea to develop the Web application in ASP.NET, seeing as how ASP.NET is VB.NET. That would present more opportunities for the two applications to interact with each other.
And in that vain, my dilemma is this, should I switch my database to SQL Server 2005 or should I stay with PostgreSQL? I am happy with PostgreSQL so far but if I have one VB.NET and one ASP.NET application, doesn't it make more sense to have SQL Server database?
I know that PostgreSQL is free and SQL Sever costs money, but what about SQL Server Express 2005? That's free too, but how much of the functionality of SQL Server 2005 does it support? The organization I work for is small and it would be hard to convince management to spend money on a commercial database like SQL Server 2005 when what we have works just fine.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello All,
Soon I shall have to migrate 2 medium sized databases from SQL server 7 to 2005.
Any words of wisdom, “how to�, “do and don’t� would be greatly appreciated.
Here are the details:
SQL 7.0 SP4, on Win2000
SQL 2005SP1,on Win2003
Sql 2005 needs to be installed on a new server (Win 2003), which will also be used as a web server (IIS6). I was thinking to go with a clean install for sql 2005 first, and after that to migrate the databases.
Thank you in advance,
Emily

Hi all,
I have script written in SQL Server 2000.
When i tried to migrate to SQL Server 2005, it is working fine in the SQL Server 2005 installed in Windows 2003 Server. System tables(syscolumns, sysobjects etc)are created in "Database->Tables->SystemTable".
But when i tried to run in SQL Server 2005 installed in Windows XP, I'm facing the following problems.
1."The object 'CK_SavedSear_LastL_4B422AD5' is dependent on column'LastLoadedTime'
"ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN LastLoadedTime failed because one or more objects access this column"
2.Moreover none of the tables had been created in "Database->Tables->SystemTable".
In both XP and 2003 Server, While installing, i have choosen same options.
Please anybody could help me to resolve this issue.

I'm migrating 15 user databases from one server to another. The current production server is Windows 2000 Server SP4 and SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition SP4. The new production server is Windows 2003 Server and SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition SP4. The new server does not have the same directory structure as the current server.
I plan to detach the database, move the .mdb and .ldb files to the new server and then attach the database again. I'm not sure what to do with the master and msdb databases. Do I need to bring over the master? I know I need the msdb for all the job information. Since these are system databases, do I need to follow a different process? I want to get all these databases over to the new server so I can begin some parallel testing prior to the final cutover.
For anyone that has gone through this process, is there anything that I need to pay special attention to? Any issues moving from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003 or SQL Server 2000 Standard to SQL Server Enterprise Edition?
Any assistance would be GREAT!!!

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
3) Other methods?
Thanks in advance
David.

Hello,We maintain a VB6 front-end application using an Access 2000 database. Allcode and forms are in VB6. The program also uses several queries/reportsdefined in Access. For corporate reasons we must move to SQL Server rightaway. Based on our configuration, we're hoping someone can give us a feelfor what's involved here. Since we're only using Access for the data we'renot sure what an "upsizing" would entail. Can someone point us in the rightdirection, tell us the main gotchas, etc. Thanks a lot.Teri Welch
