SQL Server Upgrade Wizard
Mar 1, 2007
I attempted to upgrade to SQL Server 2000 from SQL Server 6.5 using
the SQL Server Upgrade Wizard and I immediately received the following
error message:
An unknown error occurred while trying to restart your SQL Server
2000. Please check the server errorlog and try again.
I've checked the SQL Server log and all of the logs available in the
Event Viewer and I don't see anything remarkable in any of them. Does
anyone have any suggestions for how to proceed?

Quick question regarding the SQL 7.0 Upgrade Wizard:
I am attempting to import a set of databases currently hosted on a SQL 6.5 box into a separate SQL 7.0 server using the Upgrade Wizard. I am going through some of the Books Online articles on the general process and one of the steps that is mentioned is that the upgrade process changes ODBC and SQL-DMO components on the original SQL 6.5 box prior to performing the database upgrade. Am I understanding this correctly or does this component upgrade only apply when performing a 6.5-7.0 upgrade on the same server?
The idea is that I do *not* want to touch / affect the SQL 6.5 server at all - just get the database / login info off and into the new SQL 7.0 server.
Any comments appreciated,
RM

I am trying to upgrade my default instance from SQL Server 2000 Standard to SQL Server 2005 Standard. I get to the service authentication window and hit my first problem. On that window, there is a dropdown box where you should be able to choose the default instance service AND the SQL Server Agent service and set the authentication information for both of those services. That's the way it is in my test environment. However, on my production server, when I click that dropdown box, only the instance appears, and not the agent. Why?
I tried the upgrade this past weekend and ran into this problem. After researching it and not finding anything out about it online, I decided to just go forward anyway since I had lots of backups and copies of everything. The upgrade appeared to go ok, but the agent service wouldn't start. It gave the usual message when you try to start a service that doesn't have anything to do, like the Performance Logs and Alerts service. When I looked at the agent in SQL Server Management Studio, it had (Agent XPs Disabled) next to it. So I researched this and found how to enable it. For some people online, this allowed them to start the agent service, but of course that didn't work for me. Finally in my research online I found that some individuals had a lot of missing system tables in their MSDB and Master databases after the upgrade due to some of the SQL scripts that are part of the upgrade process not running properly. So I compared my system tables and SP's against another SQL 2005 instance I have, and sure enough, there appears to be a lot of missing tables. It was at that point I decided to just restore everything and try again later.
My point in writing that second paragraph is to ask if that was all due to the fact that the SQL Server Agent wasn't listed in the upgrade wizard like it should have been? Or maybe the fact that it wasn't in that dropdown box was evidence of a deeper problem? Is it likely that if I do whatever it is I need to do to make the agent appear in the upgrade wizard that my missing system tables and agent service not starting problems would probably not be an issue anymore? And why would the agent not be appearing in the upgrade wizard?
Thanks for your help!

On one of our test server I am trying to upgrade SQL Server 6.5 sp4 to SQL Server 7. The test server has a copy of all the live database systems and user accounts. I am using the Upgrade Wizard.
The process of upgrade stops after the following message
“Verify that code page ‘0’ is installed on your Windows NT Server”
I have no idea as to how I can over this problem. What I do know is that a code page can refer to character set. And that on the server I am upgrading the code page is 850 Multilingual.
Any help please.

I'm currently upgrading a server here, both the hardware (new box) and the software (SQL 6.5 to 7). I need to know if I do a two-computer upgrade in the SQL Upgrade wizard from the old server (which is still in production) to copy data to the new one if it will have any effects on the 6.5 server.
Thanks for the help...

Scenario
Export Server--SQL 6.5
Import Server--SQL 7
When running the Upgrade Wizard we encounter the following error message.
"Unable to connect to Export server. Please verify you are an NT Administrator on that machine".
Both Machines use NT Admin account to logon.
Both Machines use SQL EXEC as the service account.(for sqlexec&sqlserver)
Please can you help us on this particular problem.
Thank you.

I'm trying to run a two-computer upgrade from 6.5 to 7.0. In the Upgrade Wizard I receive the message "The Wizard was unable to connect to the ADMIN$ share on your remote 6.x SQL Server. Please verify that this share exists and that you have sufficient permissions to access it." The share does exist and the login should have sufficient permissions. To which login is this message referring? Is it the NT domain login on the import machine or is it one of the services on the export machine?

when use sp_addserver, local, duplicates_ok completes (but no changes)
Is problem index associated with SERVER1 should be 0 not 1 ?
If so, would simply UPDATEing index from 1 to 0 fix problem ?

I ran the upgrade advisor on a SQL Server 2000 DTS package and received the following:
Upgrade Function: Replace functionality of complex Data Transformation task encapsulated in Execute DTS 2000 Package task after package migration
Message: The SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS) Package Migration Wizard does not migrate complex Data Transformation tasks in SQL Server 2000 Data Transformation Services (DTS) packages. The migrated package will contain encapsulated DTS functionality that must eventually be removed or redesigned.
When I run the Migration Wizard, it runs successfully, with no encapsulated DTS fuctionality that I can see. As far as I can tell from comparing the two, it looks like it migrated successfully without any help from me! I'm not familiar with the business logic of the DTS package, so am worried that I'm missing something.
Is it possible for the Upgrade advisor to be wrong?
Are there any advanced or random screens that I can check for something that might not have migrated correctly?
Thanks for any insight that you can provide!

Hello All:
I'm new to this forum and new to the upgrade process for SQL2K5. I would like to get this upgrade moving. However, I running into a few problems. Right now I am attempting to use the Copy Database Wizard. SQL2K5 and SQL2K are installed on different servers.
I made a copy of the tables for the database I am converting and this is the one I am trying to copy over.
The process runs fine until it gets to the SQL Server Agent Job. It fails on this step and prompts to check the event log.
Does anyone know what might cause this?
Right now I'm looking for the easiest solution to test the data. Is the copy database wizard the best approach? Can anyone recommend another one? Maybe backup/restore.
I used export from SQL2K to SQL2K5 and that worked, but it brought over the dbo prefixes.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Or at least a shove in the right direction.
Thanks,
Cleech

Hi All,
I have become frustrated and I am not finding the answers I expect.
Here's the gist, we support both Oracle and SQL for our product and we would like to migrate our Clients who are willing/requesting to go from Oracle to SQL. Seems easy enough.
So, I create a Database in SQL 2005, right click and select "Import Data", Source is Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle and I setup my connection. so far so good.
I create my Destination for SQL Native Client to the Database that I plan on importing into. Still good
Next, I select "Copy data from one or more tables or views". I move on to the next screen and select all of the Objects from a Schema. These are Tables that only relate to our application or in other words, nothing Oracle System wise.
When I get to the end it progresses to about 20% and then throws this error about 300 or so times:
Could not connect source component.
Warning 0x80202066: Source - AM_ALERTS [1]: Cannot retrieve the column code page info from the OLE DB provider. If the component supports the "DefaultCodePage" property, the code page from that property will be used. Change the value of the property if the current string code page values are incorrect. If the component does not support the property, the code page from the component's locale ID will be used.
So, I'm thinking "Alright, we can search on this error and I'm sure there's an easy fix." I do some checking and indeed find out that there is a property setting called "AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage" in the OLEDB Data Source Properties. Great! I go back and look at the connection in the Import and .... there's nothing with that property!
Back to the drawing board. I Create a new SSIS package and figure out quickly that the AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage is in there. I can transfter information from the Oracle Source Table to the SQL Server 2005 Destination Table, but it appears to be a one to one thing. Programming this, if I get it to work at all, will take me about 150 hours or so.
This make perfect sense if all you are doing is copying a few columns or maybe one or two objects, but I am talking about 600 + objects with upwards of 2 million rows of data in each!!
This generates 2 questions:
1. If the Import Data Wizard cannot handle this operation on the fly, then why can't the AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage property be shown as part of the connection
2. How do I create and SSIS Package that will copy all of the data from Oracle to SQL Server? The source tables have been created and have the same Schema and Object Names as the Source. I don't want to create a Data Flow Task 600 times.
Help!!!

Hi!
I just used the SSIS Import and Export Wizard to copy 50+ tables from SS05 to SS2K.
I found that the wizard created a package that I could not figure out how to edit, e.g., to change whether or not it had to CREATE a table, or just use an existing one. (I created some problems by manually editing the receiving table names to be ones that already existed -- but the original names it had did not exist, so it knew it had to create them. What I should have done, and eventually ended up doing, was scroll through my list of tables in the "receiving" box; I just figured editing the name would be faster, not realizing what problems I would create for myself.)
Anyhow, now that I see the complex package that the wizard creates, with a LOOP over the 50+ tables, I would like to know how/where in the package it is storing the information about the tables to copy.
Basically the wizard creates the following Control Flow tab entries (in processing sequence order):
an Execute SQL Task: NonTransactableSql
an Execute SQL Task: START TRANSACTION
a Sequence Container: Transaction Scoping Sequence, which contains
an Execute SQL Task: AllowedToFailPrologueSql
an Execute SQL Task: PrologueSql
a Foreach Loop Container, which contains
a Transfer Task with an icon I did not notice in the Toolbox
an Execute Package Task: Execute Inner Package
an Execute SQL Task: EpilogueSql
an "on success" arrow to
an Execute SQL Task: COMMIT TRANSACTION
an Execute SQL Task: PostTransaction Sql
an "on failure" arrow to
an Execute SQL Task: ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
an Execute SQL Task: CompensatingSql
Where, and how, can I look within this package to see the details about the tables I am transferring? I see that one of the Connection Managers is "TableSchema.XML" -- but it points to a temporary file on my hard drive, that I presume is populated by the package. Where does it get its information?
This is certainly much more complex than the package I would have written, based on my limited knowledge of SSIS. I would have been inclined to create 50+ Data Flow tasks, one for each table.
So now I'm trying to understand why the Wizard created this more-complex package.
Any help will be appreciated, including references to non-Microsoft books/websites/etc.
Thanks in advance.
Dan

Hello all,
I am following this tutorial: http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/040506-1.aspx for merging the membership data into an existing database and part of the tutorial tells you to run Microsoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727aspnet_regsql.exe which I've done. However now I am running into issues with retrieving a list of databases. The only instance of my databases are in Microsoft Visual Web Developer Express so I'm not sure if thats the issue or not. I have tried using my IP address, my computer name, and the database names in the Server field to no avail. Here is the error I am receiving; Failed to query a list of database names from the SQL server.An error occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to a SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server). Thanks for all of your help!

Gentlemen,
I have a problem I can't seem to solve. Maybe you guys have seen it before and can help me out.
A developer in the company has previously registered his SQL 2000 machine in EM using the Registration Wizard. Registering the same server with both "(local)" and "<server_name>" in the same EM pane worked out fine, until a couple of days ago. After deinstalling and reinstalling SQL 2000 and registering "(local)" --which works fine--, he can no longer add the same instance using "<server_name>". The message that appears on the last page of the SQL Server Registration Wizard states:
ARMADAN800-001: A Server with this name already exists.
I wonder if it's due to the (local) entry, or if it has something to do with e.g. registration key that lingers on in the registry and prevents him from adding the server to the server group.
Since the Properties button on the Registration Wizard window is disabled, this is all the information I can provide you. Before re-installing SQL, cleaning the registry using something like regclean and reinstalling SQL again, I thought I'd ask you people for advise.
Any hints, references or pointers are welcome.
Many thanks in advance.

When I open the Script Wizard and get to the "Choose Script Options", I only see 2 types of "Script Behavior": "Generate CREATE statements only." and "Generate DROP statements only."; yet the Description Pane states, "Generate the script as a Drop statements, Create statements, or Drop statements followed by Create statements.". Does anyone else have this 3rd option? I hate to believe that I will have to create all "Drop" scripts and then create all "Create" scripts, separately.

I have imported spreadsheet and text files into SQL 2000 and I have never had this much trouble. Everything is just fine when I have a table that is all varchar(50). I have a table that has money, datetime, etc. Everytime I try to import this information it says that it cannot import because the column will be truncated. The column that first errors out is completely blank. The table column allows nulls. What is the issue? It is a money column and there isn't anything in there. Next the error message says that it is a datetime field ever after it has already run bast 5 datetime fields without a problem. The format is exactly the same. Is there a patch for this or am I doing something completely wrong? PLEASE HELP!

The SQL Server group at Microsoft has just launched the SQL Server Hosting Toolkit with the release of the Database Publishing Wizard Community Technology Preview 1.The objective of the SQL Server Hosting Toolkit is to enable a great experience around hosted SQL Server. The Database Publishing Wizard works toward this mission by making it easy to upload a database from a development box up to a shared hoster. In its first incarnation, the Database Publishing Wizard is a command line tool that generates a T-SQL script designed to be executed in the script execution windows provided by most hosters in their database management consoles. In the coming months we'll be adding a GUI and building seamless integration between the tool and an upload service we'll provide to hosters for deployment.Details on the Database Publishing Wizard as well as the download can be found at http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?ProjectName=sqlhost&title=Database%20Publishing%20Wizard.We plan to be releasing advances in the Toolkit frequently so check out this first CTP and give us your feedback!Thanks,Dan WinnSenior Program Manager, Microsoft SQL Server

Has anyone gotten clustering to work via the Cluster Wizard in SP5a?
I've got two ProLiant 5500's with the Compaq Clustering S/100 option. I've done a fresh install of NT Enterprise 4.0 SP3, then installed clustering with the Compaq S/100 drivers... everything fails over nicely, can make shares off the virtual server, etc. I then install SQL Server 6.5 EE, then apply SP5a -- so far, so good.
Now I try to run the clustering wizard. The wiz prompts me for my SA password. I enter it, and it gives me a message box that it can't start or log onto the database... but when I look in the event log it appears to have logged on successfully with a Non-trusted connection.
Thanks for the help...
