Upgrade SQL Server 7.0 To SQL Server 2005
Mar 26, 2007Hi Guys,
Is SQL Server 7.0 upgradable directly to SQL Server 2005? Or Do I need to migrate it first to SQL Server 2000 then SQL Server 2005?
Please... help.

Upgrade From SQL Server 2005 Eval Copy To SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition
Jul 23, 2007
I have a SQL Server 2005 evaluation that has already been installed and setup on a server. I believe it originally had a 180 day eval. There have been numerous databases and users added as well as maintenance plan created...
The eval was put on the machine as an interim solution while waiting for paper work and order processiing things to happen. All the paperwork and ordering... have been completed and I now have the real SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition license key ....
I am very new to SQL Server and need to determine ...
1. Can I update the eval copy to become permanently licensed?
2. Would I want to upgrade the eval to permanent? Will I lose any capabilities by keeping the current eval setup?
If it is reasonable to keep the eval setup
3. How do I go about entering the license key to make it permanent?
If it is necessary to install the new Standard Edition...
4. How do I install it while maintaining the already defined databases, data, users, maintenance plan...
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Cannot Upgrade SQL Server 2005 Express To SP2 After Upgrading SQL Server 2005 Enterprise To SP2
Feb 18, 2008How do I upgrade Sql Server 2005 Express to SP2 if I also have SQL Server 2005 Enterprise SP2 already on the same box? I installed Sql Server 2005 Enterprise first, then applied SP2, then installed Visual Studio 2008 (which installed SQL Server 2005 Express).
When I try to upgrade Sql Server 2005 Express to SP2 using the special Express edition of SP2, I get an error message that says "None of the selected features can be installed". I end up having to cancel the install of SP2.
I'm left with SQL Server 2005 at level 9.0.3054 and SQL Server 2005 Express at 9.0.3042. How can I bring SQL Server Express 2005 to the same level as SQL Server 2005 Entperprise?
Can Not Run SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Advisor On Server That Does Not Use The Standard Port
Jun 7, 2007I tried creating an alias to the server to get it to connect to analyze the server but it will not recognize the SQL 2000 server as a valid server to analyze. I can use the alias to connect in EM or SSMS. Any ideas? The server is not clustered and is at SP4. I've connected to several others in my environment but this one is causing me grief!
Thanks,

SQL Server 2005 Upgrade To SP2 - SQL Server Service Not Starting - SOLUTION
Mar 15, 2007I upgraded my SQL 2005 Workgroup 2005 to SP2 and subsequently could not get the SQL Server service running. Turns out this was a problem because I had created separate folders for my data and log files. The distmdl.mdf and mssqlsystemresource.mdf files were in my data folder and distmdl.ldf and mssqlsystemresource.ldf were in my log folder. During SP2 upgrade a new distmdl.ldf and mssqlsystemresource.ldf were created in my data folder. I deleted the distmdl.ldf and mssqlsystemresource.ldf files in my log folder and then moved the newly created ones in my data folder into the log folder and all is well now.
Just a heads up!

SQL Server 2000 Vs Sql Server 2005 Upgrade Problem Any Ideas?
May 14, 2007
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...
Best Method To Upgrade From SQL Server 2000 To SQL Server 2005
Nov 29, 2007Hi.
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!
SQL Server Express Upgrade To SQL Server 2005 Workgroup
May 7, 2008Hi All,
A client of mine was using SQL Express and soon realised this doesn't meet his needs performance or database size wise. He also realised that SQL Server 2005 Workgroup came free with his R2 version of SBS.
So in essence, I have been trying to find the Microsoft recommended way to upgrade from Express to Workgroup. I have not been able to find a step-by-step guide and to add to my confusion, when I run the work-group installer it tells me to run the installer with a switch which I have gone ahead and done but when selecting components it has all of them defaulted to blanked out.
Surely the process for an in-place upgrade should not be so technical as I am finding it ? To my mind, the natural progression would be to upgrade express to a better capable version of 2005 and should be as easy as pie.
Anyway, I am basically looking for a step-by-step guide on how to upgrade to get it done right the first time as opposed to upgrading and than realised some remenants of Express are still larking about causing trouble.
Regards,
QS
SQL Server Express Upgrade To SQL Server 2005?
Jan 8, 2008Hello,
I am currently using SQL server express for my website. The connection is fairly sluggish and it can take about 30 seconds to log in say. My web host says this is because I am using SQL server express and they recommend upgrading to SQL server 2005.
Has anyone else had similar sluggish connection with SQL server express?
Can I also ask the best way to upgrade an SQL server express database to SQL server 2005?
Thanks for any help

Upgrade From SQL Server 2000 To SQL Server 2005
Mar 5, 2008
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.

Arunesh
Upgrade From SQL Express 2005 Report Server With Advanced Services To SQL 2005 Standard Fails
Feb 25, 2008I am trying to upgrade SQL Server Express 2005 Report Server to SQL 2005 Standard and it fails with the following error:
SQL Server Setup did not have the administrator permissions required to copy a file: C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.8Reporting ServicesReportServer
ssrvpolicy.config. To continue, verify that the file exists, and either grant administrator permissions to the account currently running Setup or log in with an administrator account. Then run SQL Server Setup again.
After I click OK on the message, this whole path where the upgrade is bieng installed dissapears C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.8Reporting Services. The error is a bit missleading because the file that it is trying to copy rssrvpolicy.config does appear in that upgrade folder so I am not sure why it would try to copy a file that has already been copied.
I was able to upgrade the Database Engine instance fine but can't upgrade Reporting Services due to that error. I have verified that the account that ran the setup had the administrator permissions. Your prompt reply to my question would be greatly appreciatted.
Upgrade SQL Server Express 2005 To SQL Server 2005
May 23, 2008Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade my system from SSE 2005 to SS 2005, when I ran Upgrade Advisory it fails with several errors that identified as blocked failure..
Here are some of the warning and errors:
Warning on SQL Server component (Insatance Name SQLEXPRESS) - "SQL server version 09.00.3054 is not supported by this release of Upgrade Advisory"
On the Reporting Services - "Virtual Directory settings do not match the default configuration"
On the Reporting Services - "Other Reporting Services upgrade issues"
On the Reporting Services - "Custom virtual directory settings block edition upgrade"
On the Reporting Services - "Custom extensions are deployed on the report server"
I tried to follow the instructions to Reporting Services Upgrade Issues but it didn't help..
Is it me or someone else run into this same problem? Any KB on this somewhere?
Other question is - can I install both versions on the same system without a problem?
Thanks,
T.

Sql Server Upgrade From 2000 To 2005
Jan 31, 2006I 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

SQL Server Slower After 2005 Upgrade
Jul 20, 2007We have an extensive stress test for our OLTP application.that runs slower after upgrading to SQL Server 2005.
We have done the following:
- applied SP1 and SP2
- updated statistics (sp_updatestats)
- recompiled all stored procedures
Some behavior we notice in Perfmon over the course of the 1-hour test is:
- Average CPU Utilization is up from 22% to 32% and we're trying to figure out why
- Compilations per second are up from 200 to 250
- Recompilations per second are down from 5 to 1 (which is good).
- Memory utilization is identical.
- We see exagerated spikes in response times. The general performance
seems pretty good - but there are periodic spikes that hurt our averages.
- I examined perfmon for waits and nothing jumped out.
- A small handful of application workflows are much slower, while most are roughly identical.
I realize there could be a zillion different causes. But if anyone has experience upgrading a large OLTP solution which uses a mixture of dynamic SQL and stored procedures to SS2005 - and tuning the upgraded database - please offer any suggestions.
Our current plan includes (a) running the Best Practices analyzer which already uncovered a trace flag we may want to use since we're running on an 8-way, (b) rebuilding indexes, and (c) examine a SQL Trace this time around too since it appears the slowness is isolated to certain application workflows.
Please offer any suggestions that have worked for your team.
Thanks so much!
Mike
PS I will post all the things we end up doing in the end once we get performance equal or better - hopefully the latter!!!
SQL SErver 2005 Upgrade Advisor
Oct 31, 2007Team,
Got a question about one of the results on the upgrade advisor report.
When to Fix: Before
Description: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
Object: SVCACCTREQ
It is looking like some type of permission problem but I cannot find anything about this specific issue.
I am running the advisor from my local machine, on which I am a local administrator, against a remote server where I am just a typical user.
Is this an error that would be corrected if I were to run the upgrade advisor logged into the server as a local administrator? I'm trying to determine whether there is anything that needs to be done with this issue.
Thanks.

Why Upgrade To MS SQL Server (be It 2000 Or 2005) From Access (say, 97)?
Dec 1, 2005Probably 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.

Can SQL Server 2005 Evaluation Be Used To Upgrade A System?

SQL Server 2005 Developers Edition is installed on my computer as part of a Visual Studio 2005 installation.
When I try to run this package under my admin account, I get through the Feature Selection (selecting everything) to Authentication.
When I press the Test button or the Next button, I get "Your account information could not be verified. Press Ok to return to Authentication Mode screen to determine the reason for failure. For setup to verify your credentials the services must be startable, connectable, and you must be a SQL Server administrator."
The Authentication screen shows "Database Services, MSSQLSERVER, Windows, domainusername, Service Failed to Start"
I am a novice SQL Server user, Clearly I am floundering! Any observations, advice, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
