I got 2 SQL servers. One is legacy SQL 6.5 and the other one is SQL 2005. They are installed in different machine. How can I copy or migrate the old 6.5 version databases to SQL 2005 server?
Someone said I should upgrade the 6.5 to version 2000 first. Is it the only method? I didn't have SQL 2000 install cdrom and license. How can I do that?
Please help.
Hi,
In SQL Server 2005 Express I currently have 2 databases which I€™m working on, my problem is I want to transfer a table from one of the databases to the other but don't know how to go about achieving this? I want the table structure and all the info held within the table transferred across. Any ideas are welcome.
Hi,
I have several databases on one MSQL Server which I want to transfer to new server. So, basically it is tranferring all contents of sql server databases on one server to another one. I know I can use import Wizard, but it will take long time, is there a more better way to do this.
Thanks,
Mashro.
When executing an inline insert into command from isqw/w the command executes perfectly. Yet when I try to create a stored procedure with exactly the same insert into statement it will not create. It does not like the database.owner.table prefix on the selected rows. Any suggestions ??
Thanks.... Tom
Hi,
I am having one query regarding data transfer using SSIS. If we use
DTS packages for the data transfer between two databases then the source database and
destination database must be on different db servers or instances.Here, I
am talking about the DTS Packages with Distributed Transactions enabled.
I need to know that whether this constraint has been rectified with SSIS Packages or it still persists.
One more thing is that while transferring the data, can we view/insert/update source database or it is locked if the transfer is in process.
Please reply..........
Thanks and Regards,

Hi there,
I would like to make multiples copies of a database. What I used to do in MS-SQL 6.5 was create a backup of the database that I want to make copy from. Create new (empty) databases and restored the backed up database into the new databases. Another way that I used to do is to use the Database Transfer feature in the Enterprise Manager.
I want to do the same thing in MS-SQL 7 (beta 3) but it seems to me that I couldn't do that. First, there is no Database Transfer feature like that in 6.5. Next, I couldn't restore a backed up database to another database.
I know there is the Import/Export utility but it is the last thing I have to use if I don't have any other choice.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have two databases DB1 and DB2
With Tables T11,T12 and T21, T22 respectively.
All the tables in the two databases have the same structure.
I need help on a script to clear the contents of Table T21 and T22 in the DB2 database
And load the contents of Table T11 and T12 ( Table have about 2 Million records of data ) into T21 and T22.
What is the best way to transfer data between 2 databases.
Any ideas will be appreciated.

Ok say we've got two databases with two tables and we need to
transfer data from one to another. However, the data structure in
sourceDB is different to targetDB. Better to illustrate:
sourceDB
tablesource
PIN SYSTEM HEADER PROPERTY VALUE STATUS
1000 AF ADDRESS DETAILS LINE 1 The Grange Active
1000 AF ADDRESS DETAILS LINE 2 69 Tintagel Way
1000 AF ADDRESS DETAILS LINE 3 Woking
1001 AF ADDRESS DETAILS LINE 1 50 Active
8888 AF ADDRESS DETAILS LINE 2 Evans Way
8888 AF ADDRESS DETAILS LINE 3 Islington
8888 AF ADDRESS DETAILS
8888 AF ADDRESS DETAILS
8888 AF ADDRESS DETAILS
Now each matching PIN on the multiple rows in sourceDB above relates to
one customer. In order to extract the relevant info for an address for
instance for each customer, we need to know the unique PIN, header,
property and value fields.
So I created this piece of SQL which gives me the result in targetDB:
INSERT into targetDB.dbo.tabletarget (address1)
SELECT
value
FROM sourceDB.dbo.tablesource
WHERE pin = 1000
AND header ='address details'
AND property = 'line 1'
targetDB
tabletarget
PIN ADDRESS1 ADDRESS2 ADDRESS3 SOURCE
The Grange
Fine, I've proved I can extract a specific field, but I need to do
this for all fields and all customers.
Any ideas?
Hello everyone,
Here's my situation...
I'm running a web service which involves 51 seperate servers and databases.
There are fifty licensee servers (One for each US state) and one corporate server.
Each night I need to upload sales and membership data from the licensee's databases to the corporate database to compile reports.
The application platform I'm using is ASP.NET 2.0 and the the database is SQL2005 express.
I want this process to be run automatically, so I believe it's a scheduled windows service I need to setup up in .NET to make the data transfers.
If anyone has already set something up like this, or knows the steps to take? I would love to have your input.
Thanks in advance,
Robert

Hi,
A question regarding SQL Server 2005 Express edition. Is it possible to export Access databases into SQL databases without using programming (e.g. using SQL and programming languages)?
I understand you can do this with DTS, but the Express edition seems not have DTS.

When I proposed start to use SQL Server 2005 for new VS 2005 web sites, one of my co-workers responded that
we will update the old SQL Server 2000 databases to SQL Server 2005 when we are ready to use 2005 SQL Server.
Questions:
1. Any expected problems to upgrade old 2000 databases to new 2005 SQL Server?
2. I have installed both 2005/Management Studio Express and 2000/Enterprise Manager in my PC. Any expected
problems when running both 2000 and 2005 SQL Server at the same database server?
3. What is the best configuration for running SQL Server 2005 when we have old 2000 databases? Upgade or not upgrade?
TIA,
Jeffrey

This question is about SQL Server 2005:
I have been trying to figure out how to copy tables and stored procedures between 2 databases (on the same server) using SQL Server Management Studio. I have tried right clicking on the table name, "script table as", "drop to", "clipboard", then I click on the 2nd database, and then click on the "tables" . I change the name of the database and click "execute". This creates the table but does not copy the data. I have also tried "create to" "clipboard" and "insert to" "clipboard" and cannot seem to be able to figure out how to get the results that I want. I am new at this but need to get the tables with the data copied along with the stored procedures, even if I have to do them one at a time. When I was using SQL Server 2000, I was able to use DTS to copy objects to other databases easily. Can someone please tell me a way to accomplish what I need to do? I have gotten information here before that was very useful and was hoping that someone can help me again.Thank you so much. Carol Quinn

Hi,
For various reasons a new desktop application I am developing is using the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Release Candidate to store local data. On my development machine (XP SP2, VS2005, SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition) the software is able to create the database file, and read and write to it fine.
However on our test machine, which does not have any of the development tools the software is unable to create the database. A System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeException is thrown. The message is: "SQL Mobile usage is restricted on this platform. To use SQL Mobile, you must install SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio 2005, or the Tablet PC SKU." Obviously this goes somewhat against the blurb for SQL Server CE.
Is this something that will be fixed shortly? Or is it the intention that databases can't be created on machines that do not SQL Server or Visual Studio installed? (Incidentally the reason for creating the database on the fly is that we are encrypting it, using the users credentials, so that only they can open the database.)
Thanks, Steve

Good Day,
I am having a problem with creating databases in MS SQL 2005 Server. When I attempt to assign an User Mapping for my SQL user account to the newly created database, the "dbo" user and schema is already assigned. When I try to drop this user in favor of my own, I receive an error message: Cannot alter the user "dbo" (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15150). I am connected to my database engine through the "sa" account.

Hello all,
I use Visual Studio 2005 Standard. I would like to know the best way that I can create Sql Server 2005 Express databases visually since VS2005 Std. does not allow me to do it.
Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance,

I'd be interested in knowing how VS doesn't allow you to create a database. What error are you getting?
There are two ways to create databases, depending on your goal:
To just create a database on your server, do the following:
Open the Server Explorer
Right-click on Data Connections
Click Create New SQL Server Database
Specify Server Name and Database Name
Your database will be created and you can start working with it.
Embed a database in your project:
On the Project menu, click Add New Item.
Select SQL Database from the list and give it a name.
Click OK
This will run you thorugh a wizard to create the database.
If your having problems doing either of these, you may not have SQL Server installed on your computer or VS might be pointing to the wrong Instance Name. Check out the Option dialog under Database Tools:ata Connection and verify that the correct instance is specified.

I am trying to create a similar project and I also recieve an error while trying to create a database...
"An error has occured while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to 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."
Now let me explain what i am trying to do ...
I am trying to create a web interface for the data that I want to store in the SQL database. I have installed VS2005 & SQL Server Express 2005 on my local machine. I want to develope this project on my local machine and then transfer it to a server once i have finished the project.
If i am doing this all wrong, please let me know !

I have a requirement to pull data from several large tables residing in a Postgres 8.x (PG) database into our SQL Server 2005 warehouse every night. I have been doing this via data dumps to a file then bulk loading said file into SQL2005 but I am running into character encoding issues and newlines embedded in some of the strings which is causing the bulk loader some problems.
I would like to take advantage of the power of SSIS to move the data. I cannot find a current working OLEDB driver for PG and I cannot find an ODBC Data Flow Source in SSIS to use the ODBC driver that is available for PG so I am stuck.
If someone would be kind enough to shed some light on whether this is possible and if so where I could get the instructions on how to do it I would be most appreciative.
Thanks.

OK I think I am missing something here. I have installed the newly released SQL Compact Edition, Server Tools, and Tools for VS SP1. According to the documentation you can do the following to create a SQL Compact Edition DB:
Creating a SQL Server Compact Edition database on the server
In SQL Server Management Studio, open Object Explorer.
In Object Explorer, click Connect, and then choose SQL Server Compact Edition.
In the Connect to Server dialog box, select <New Database€¦> from the Database file drop-down list.
In the Create New SQL Server Compact Edition Database dialog box, type a file path and file name for the new database file. You can optionally select the default sort order and choose whether you want to encrypt or password-protect the database. If you choose to encrypt or password-protect the database, type a password, and then click OK.
Click Connect to connect to the new SQL Server Compact Edition database. The database is now displayed in Object Explorer.
I see no reference to or any option to create or connect to a SQL Server Compact Edition database in SQL Mgmt Studio. I had SQL 2005 Mobile installed previously and this still shows as an option. What I am missing here? Is SQL Mobile now SQL Compact Editon?
Thanks in advance,
Jack

Hi,Currently, I am developing an application for my client. The issue is that the client has the office and warehouse which are in different locations. He wants the application run and updated all the data in to a database (called warehouse database). Every month, all records in warehouse database will be synchronized to another database which is identical with the warehouse database but it is run in his laptop at the office. Since networking is not an option, I have to create two identical database like this. Does any one know what is the good solution to this? Is there any synchronize feature in SQL Server 2005?Many thanks,
