Sql Server 2000 Upgrade To 2005 Blocked
Mar 4, 2008
I've inherited 6 sql server 2000 boxes. I've upgrade 3 with no trouble. now I have one that gives the message :
"your upgrade is blocked because of cross-language compatibility rules.
For more information about cross-language support, see the version..."
all servers are 2003, sp2. All SQL is Enterprise edition, default language is "english". even the collation order is
the same. why the cross language message? Any help would be good else I'll be forced to rebuild the DB and load application again. ugly!!

I am upgrading a sql server 2000 with sp4 (I have double and triple checked the sp) on a windows 2003 sp1 server and I keep getting the following error:
Name: Microsoft SQL Server 2000
Reason: Your upgrade is blocked. For more information about upgrade support, see the "Version and Edition Upgrades" and "Hardware and Software Requirements" topics in SQL Server 2005 Setup Help or SQL Server 2005 Books Online.
Service pack requirement check:
Your upgrade is blocked because of service pack requirements. To proceed, apply the required service pack and then rerun SQL Server Setup. For more information about upgrade support, see the Version and Edition Upgrades topic in SQL Server 2005 Setup Help or SQL Server 2005 Books Online.
I cannot find anything saying that I need any other service pack other than sp4 for sql serer 2000. Any one ever run into this or have a clue what might be causing the installer to think I have the wrong service pack?

Perhaps someone here can give me a hand with this...
I have three servers running SQL Server 2000. Two are running Windows Server 2000 SP4 with SQL 2000/SP4 and one Windows Server 2003 with SQL 2000/SP?(probably not 4). I copied the installation DVD to a network drive and successfully performed an in-place upgrade of the Windows Server 2003 machine. However, when I try to upgrade either of the other servers, I get an error indicating that I have a service pack problem.

Of course, the error doesn't indicate what the service pack problem actually is. My SQL 2005 media was probably released before SP4 was released because the Setup Help indicates that you can directly upgrade from SP3, but makes no mention of SP4. I can't imagine there are any migration problems with it since I can't find any reference to it as a problem on any SQL Server sites... So... I'm left wondering what my problem really is... :confused:
Any help would be appreciated.

Name: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Tools
Hello,
I am having a problem when trying to add the Client Components to an existing installation of SQL 2005 Standard Edition SP1 running on Windows 2003 Standard. The server was originally built with SQL 2005 Standard Edition and had SP1 installed at a later date. I am using the CD that SQL was originally installed with which is not a service packed copy of SQL. The reason given when clicking the details button is as follows:
Reason: Your upgrade is blocked. For more information about upgrade support, see the "Version and Edition Upgrades" and "Hardware and Software Requirements" topics in SQL Server 2005 Setup Help or SQL Server 2005 Books Online.
Build version check:
Your upgrade is blocked because the existing component is a later version than the version you are trying to upgrade to. To modify an existing SQL Server component, go to Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel, select the component you would like to modify, and then click Change/Remove.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am currently using sql server 2000 and I have just installed sql server 2005 in a separate box that will be used as the production server so I will be upgrading to the new database server soon.
I was reading the upgrade options for this situation and one option is to detach the 2000 database, copy the mdf and log files to the new server and attach it to mssql 2005. Another option is to recreate the tables, views, etc. and export/import the data to the new server.
I would like to ask what the best option is for this situation because I am not sure what the advantages and disadvantages of just detaching/attaching and recreating the database in sql server 2005. If I just detach/attach the database, will there be any disadvantage in the performance because the database files were created in 2000 and is functioning because of backward compatibility in 2005? Would it be better to recreate the database in 2005 and import the data from 2000 so that the database would be running in a way that is designed for 2005?
I am not really sure of the differences of these upgrade options so any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

I am getting the following error message when I tried installing the 2005 Developer Edition from the MSDN kit. I previously installed the 2005 Express Edition, and it worked just fine, so I thought that the install failed as it was at a lower version than the Express Edition. I uninstalled the SQLExpress Edition, however, when I try to install SQL Server 2005 again, I get the following message:

I have also installed Visual Studio NET, and I wonder if some component in the Studio app is holding back the SQL Server install. I have uninstalled all SQL components several times already, and I keep on getting this message.

Probably this question has been asked hundreds of times and yet netsearch has not generated satisfactory enough answer, at least, to me.And OK, let's assume your organization has more than 200 employees,just one measure to indicate that it's not small and data processingneeds are quite extensive (for both OLTP and OLAP).We've heard so much about concurrency support, stability andperformance. Are there any real persuasive paper out there to talkabout it? Now, let me also put it in another perspective, say, you'rea Microsoft sql server sales guy or gal for that matter for newaccounts. What you got?Thanks.

Hi all,
My question might be a little bit unusual, but is it possible to upgrade SQL 2005 Express (the free version of SQL) to SQL 2000 Server without any loss of functionality?
Where do I have to pay attention to when doing this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi All,
Currently we use SQL 2K SP4 and snapshot replication with a Central Publisher with Remote Distributor toplogy.
I am looking to upgrade or migrate our SQL servers to SQL 2005 and was wondering what is the best way to do this for our replicated architecture?
Is the best way to run the SQL 2005 Upgrade on all 3 servers (publisher, distributor, subscriber) and should it automatically upgrade the servers including the replication components? Is there anything i should consider/watch out for when doing the upgrade and it involves replication (namely snapshot replication)?
Thanks in advance.

I would like to upgrade a production active/passive SQL Server 2000 cluster to SQL Server 2005.
I've read all of the documentation I could find, and doing an in-place upgrade seems to be the way to go. (Despite the fact it scares the hell out of me.
But throughout all the documentation, I've yet to see some simple and fairly important questions answered.
How does the process of upgrading SQL Server work when you're dealing with a cluster?
Do you upgrade one machine then the other? If so, do you upgrade the active node first, or the passive node?
What happens if you're forced to failover from one instance to the other before you've had a chance to upgrade both to 2005? In other words, you failover from 2005 to 2000. Would that even work?
What happens if your upgrades fails for some reason? Is it easy to rollback the installation? If not, will reinstalling SQL Server 2000 cause any issues? Will it remember the previous configuration and simply fix the broken install?
Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade from SQL Server 2000 to 2005. The problem I am having is that when I try to attach the existing db files I get a message that says "database cannot be upgraded because it is read only or has read only files...."
Thing is... there is no write protection on the files.
Can anyone advise me on how to overcome this problem so that I can attach the db, please?
Thank you

I have upgraded our test server and on non cluster production machine. My next server is a cluster and I don't have a test cluster server. Do I upgrade the active node and that is all or am I going to need to fail it over and upgrade the other node.
Also the prerequesite for the upgrade advisor is .net 2.0 I am going to up that on each server one at a time but I am only going to add the upgrade advisor to one node is that ok.
I read the SP1 documentation and it clearly states only patch the active node and do not patch the inactive nodes.

I used the SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Advisor to upgrade from SQL Server 2000 Enterprise to 2005 Standard. The only complaint I got concerned DTS packages, but I had none anyway. When I open SQL Server Management Studio, I can run queries, but they're against tables in the old 2000 databases. The SQL engine and Server agent are version version 8.0. Not surprising that new TSQL statements like 'BACKUP SERVICE MASTER KEY TO FILE' won't work.
Do I have to uninstall my previous version before upgrading?
Thanks.

Hi All,
I have just migrated couple of test databases
from SQL Server 2000 to 2005 (side by side).
I also migrated the server level logins using SSIS transfer logins task, available on SSIS 'Transfer logins', I selected all the databases that I have migrated so that I have all database users account in server logins (to avoid orphaned users); but I don't have all the database users in server logins, also the sys.sysusers doesn't have the database users, that I have moved to SQL 2005. Can anybody help?
Also do I need to back up the SQL Server 2000 database and restore it on SQL 2005? What impact this operation can have?
Thanks for your time..

In our application we use the ADODB.Recordset.
In SQL server 2000
If there was a view that joined 2 tables and I accessed the view the 2 ID fields in the view would still have the AutoIncrement attribute still set to true so that I knew those were Identity fields.
In SQL server 2005
I dont' know why but if you reference a View that has Identiy AutoInc fields in ADO it doesn't keep those properties.
Also for whatever reason we Set the ID field to 0 to let ourselves know its a new Record. SQL 2000 let it happen and assumed it to be null where as By Setting the ID to 0 in SQL 2005 causes it to blow up on me.
Is there some sort of setting in SQL that can make SQL 2005 work like SQL 2000 in these two instances...

Hi.
We are going to upgrade one of our SQL Server 2000/Win200 instance to SQL Server 2005/Win2003. Currently, the SQL Server 2000 which contains about 30 database. This is my plan:
Install SQL Server 2005/Win2003 on a new instance
Backup SQL Server 2000 database instance (how do I back all 30 database at the same time?)
Then do a Restore from the SQL Server 2005 instanceIs this a good method or using the "Copy Database Wizard" is better method?
I'm new to this so please advice? Thanks!

I have a very strange problem when I try to install SQL Express 2014 on 1 PC on my network.
The setup is blocking on the step "rules of functionnality" (I hope it is the good translation ...).
I ha ve a message that indicates that there is a problem the following checking : "It exists a Internet connection with the download center for Microsoft Framework 4.0". At the beginning I had Framework 3.5 and 4.5 installed on the PC.
When I tried to install manually Framework 4.0 I had a message that indicated that the setup was not possible because there was a Superior version. So I uninstall v4.5 and install v4.0 normally.
I run again SQL 2014 Express setup but I have always the same error. I take a look on Internet to look for the same problem but I found nothing.

Hello Gurus:
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?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Arunesh

I have a question about blocked processes. My manager wants to know how you can know the following when a blocked process is encountered.
The job, program and the statement that is causing the blocking. I have figured out how to determine the database involved but not a lot else. Such as in the blocked process report there is a waitresource field. How to you decipher it?
The report also tells you the client application, but in this case it just states the Micro focus Net Express as the client, not the job or program that is running.
I have an inputbuf listed but it just shows the database id, and the object id. And I am not sure how to locate the object id in this case, I am guessing sys.objects, but I do not seem to find that one.
I have read many things on MSN about the blocked process report, but it does not seem to go into great detail.
I seem to have all the pieces, but do not exactly know how to quickly tie them all together.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kathy

Hello,
I have a project where I have to upgrade SQL 2000 to 2005. When we are upgrading we are going to move to new server so server name will change. Most of our applications have a hard coded connection string. Applications are developed with Classic ASP, .NET 1.1 and 2.0 as well.
Now the question is what is the best way to do this? Changing all the connection string will be a very painful task as we have many applications.
Can anyone suggest a way where we can achieve this without changing all the connection strings?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for upgrading from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005?
I was under the impression that it was as easy as following an upgrade path after popping in the CD, but I realized it's not.
I'm a Systems Administrator who has installed both version in stand alone systems, but never tried an upgrade.
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
I would like to upgrade sql server 2000 to sql 2005. So Can I install the sql server 2005 on the same server where sql 2000 is already running and then use the database upgrade wizard. Or should I install the sql server 2005 on a different server.
Thanks

I have a sql 2000/2005 side-by-side install on a single server. I right-click a sql 2000 database, select All Tasks, and the Copy Database to upgrade a sql 2000 database. In the "Copy Database Wizard" I see the message:
"To use the detach and attach method SQL Server Agent must run under an Integration Servicers Proxy account that can access the file system of both the source and destination servers."
1. What does that mean?
2. I decided to click "Finish" in the wizard, and the database copy seemed to work fine. Whaterver 1) means does, by default, the SQL Server Agent already run under this "Integration Services Proxy" account. (Rememberr the upgrade process did work).
TIA,

I got a requirement to upgrade only One SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 server. i did check that there are only databases in this server along with Linked server. I am looking for a best practice document for SQL upgrade and any thoughts or experience any one has faced during upgrade.
Other question is what about if there is a DTS on the server. right now on this particular server there is no DTS but in coming weeks i may need to upgrade other server which is having DTS as well. I have worked alot on SSIS packages but want to see if DTS will be converted to SSIS packages or i will have to manually do it.
Thanks
