Sql 2000 Copy To Sql 2005 Loses Identity Seeds In Transfer
Feb 3, 2006
I have a database that I am trying to copy to sql server 2005 and when I copy it the "Identity Seed" property loses its value.
I have tried to use the "Export" method by right clicking on the database then going to "Tasks" then "Export Data"
This copies all of the data but it removes the "Identity Seed" value.
When I run the "copy database" function it will also copy all of the data in the database but it will still not keep the "Identity Seed" value
I have many tables in the database with the identity seed field set to 1 on the primary key so that it will automatically create the primary key for each record.
Without this errors will occur in my web application because it thinks that I am trying to enter a null value into the primary key when it is supposed to auto populate.
When I export it with sql server 2005 it turns it back to zero.
The export function worked fine in Sql server 2000
The only way I can get it to work is by backing up the database and restoring it, but this is very time consuming and adds many steps to the process, and also makes it so that I have to overwrite my old database with the same name.
Is there a way to use the export function or the copy database function to retain the Identity Seed value
I really need this to continue do the switch to 2005 server. It seems like this may be a bug of some sort

We have implemented replication on SQL Server 2005 with 1 publisher and 1 snapshot (non-update) subscriber.
The purpose is for emergency disaster fail-over.
If the publisher (Primary) fails, then we switch the DNS so the subscriber (Secondary) becomes ‘live’ and we need it to be able to accept new records.
The problem is that the identity seeds start at 0 on the Secondary server - so no records can be input, as there are primary key violations.
We can set the increment value to -1 for all the seeds, and this works.
However there are config & replication issues with bringing up the database on the failed (Primary) server once it is restored and back online.
Does it really need to be this complicated?
Where are the ‘next identity seeds’ for all the tables in the database stored? Can they be restored on the database when fail-over occurs?
Or is there some setting in the Microsoft SQL Dba?

Hi,
I would like to know if there will every be a clean way to transfer a database from a remote server to a local server (and back again). I've tried several different approaches, but they all currently have bugs/problems.
I've looked into database publishing wizard - but this creates a huge script that takes 10x longer to run than the old DTS transfer.
I've tried copying data, and objects separate, but this requires multiple steps, using DTS this was all done in one step.
I've tried using SSIS Transfer SQL Objects, but the defaults are not created, using DTS, the ENTIRE database was transfered, which is what I want.
I've tried using SSIS Transfer Database, but even when I select "Online" mode, I get an error asking me to select at least one source file, but there is nothing to select (no files appear in the pop up window).
I've tried copy database or backup database, but I do not have suffient permission on the remote server for these.
So many different ways to do it, but all fail!
PLEASE - make a simple way to transfer a database from a remote host and back again. I want to be able to select a database source and destination and have the database copied. PLEASE - at least restore the old way until other options are working first.

We have a built a custom control flow task that we use frequently. It has a simple user interface form where we can set certain properties. Problem is, after I configure it once and then copy and paste it all of the internal property settings seem to be lost on the newly pasted task. When I open up the editor for the task all of the properties are displayed visually in the editor form, but the properties pane is empty.
How can this be corrected?

I set up a task to do a transfer of a SQL 2000 db to SQL 2005 in Integration Services (selected my servers, dbs, and chose DatabaseOnline method). In debug mode it processes for a little while and finally errors with:

We are currently running sql 2000 and are moving our database onto sql 2005 running on a different box.
We have managed to move the entire database, with users however the users permissions on specific tables/views/stored procedures have not been transferred, does anyone know a way of transferring user permissions rather then doing them all by hand?
The system is a large (over 500 table/views/stored procedures) and a very active one and therefore downtime is not optional.
any suggestions would be appreciated

Hi everyone, I am trying to upgrade a 2000 DB to 2005 with SSIS Database Transfer.
I finally got it to work with an online transfer but the destination database has no primary keys, indexes or identity columns from the source DB.
What am I missing?
What other ways are there to upgrade a SS2000 DB to 2005?
Thank you.

Hi all
I am using Windows XP Prof, SP2 and having Sql Server 2000, SP4 and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP1, and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit SP1 installed. The toolkit is the one which created me the DTS folder in the root with this applicattion:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSBinnDTSWizard.exe
I start now this Wizard and choose from Sql server - which is my 2000 version and to my sql express version, id/pw or windows authentication. I receive then the message:
Cannot continue for the following reason:
1) You have chosen a server that does not contain any packages.
2) The server you have chosen is neither a sql server 2000 nor sql server 7
The SSIS Migration Wizard can only load packages from those servers.
Nice. I am having Sql server 2000 and want to go to 2005.
What I am doing from ? Do I need to create some packages on Sql server 2000 to be able to proceed this task ?

Good Afternoon,
Does anybody know if the DTS Transfer Object Task transfers tables with IDENTITY INSERT enabled? I'm copying objects, along with their data to another database, but I need to retain the values in my IDENTITY columns. I will do some manual checking but this is fairly tedious and error prone.
I've checked the Books Online but I couldn't find anything that answers my question.

Robin

I'm using a Business Intelligence project to copy stored procedures and tables from one database to another across servers. I'm having trouble copying tables or stored procedures using the Management.SMO.Transfer class.
I tried copying stored procedure with the property transfer.CopyAllStoredProcedures = true. This didn't work. As a workaround, I used the StringCollection property and executed every string as sql.
Now I'm having trouble copying tables. I don't want to copy all the tables in the database. How do I go about selecting what tables to copy. I tried using ObjectList property and provided the names of the tables in an ArrayList. I get the error
"Transfer cannot process System.String. You need to pass an instance class object."
How can I pass an "instance class object" for something that's in the database? The ScriptTransfer method fails so I can't even see the script that is being generated. There is virtually no documentation for this class.
Any help will be appreciated.
Transfer transfer = new Transfer();
transfer.Database = sourceDB;
transfer.DestinationDatabase = DestinationDatabase;
transfer.DestinationServer = DestinationServer;
transfer.DropDestinationObjectsFirst = false;
transfer.CopyData = true;
transfer.CopySchema = true;
transfer.CopyAllObjects = false;
transfer.CopyAllTables = false;
transfer.CopyAllStoredProcedures = false;
transfer.Options.WithDependencies = false;
GetTablesToBeCopied();
transfer.ObjectList = tablesList;
transfer.Options.FileName = "C:\TransferScriptTables.sql";
StringCollection coll = transfer.ScriptTransfer();

I have read the previous threads on the bugs with this task mainly: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1438968&SiteID=1 . These are great posts that helpmed me avoid wasting time. I haven't seen one yet that addresses copying an entire database including the sql server logins.
I would like to import the ENTIRE database from one (2005) server to another(2005) using the SSIS Transfer SQL Object task (not just sprocs,tables,views and functions). I have figured out how to pull the tables,views,sprocs and functions ... by using an execute sql task to drop these objects. But I cannot get this to work for users since the user dbo cannot be dropped and guest can only be disabled. I am creating a new database (this is the database where the sql objects will be copied to) via management studio to test this. There has to ba a way to get this working ... Microsoft must have published some sort of KB article on this task or a Script Task using SMO object calls. If need be I can drop the entire database on the target machine and have SSIS recreate it.
The only reason I'm willing to take a risk with SSIS rather than backup and restore is because of time constraints (I assume the SSIS task is faster) and backup storage administration.
declare @name varchar(200)
declare @object varchar(200)
DECLARE object_cursor CURSOR READ_ONLY FORWARD_ONLY FOR

I am trying to 'load' a copy of a SQLServer 2000 database to SQLServer 2005 Express (on another host). The copy was provided by someone else - it came to me as a MDF file only, no LDF file.
I have tried to Attach the database and it fails with a failure to load the LDF. Is there any way to bypass this issue without the LDF or do I have to have that?
The provider of the database says I can create a new database and just point to the MDF as the data source but I can't seem to find a way to do that? I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Thanks!!

I have a log file that went out of control (147GB), I feel that doing a shrink on the file/database would be time consuming so I am thinking of recreating the database from an imported version from our test server.I know that data can flow from one SQL server to another without regard to the SQL server version but can tables, stored procedures and views export from a 2000 database and put back into a 7.0 database?Thanks--Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.com
