I wish to know if it is possible to upgrade SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition to SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition. I'm not sure what bit version I have of SQL Server 2000. I have just downloaded the X86 executable for SQL Server 2005 from the msdn downloads site.
Thanks

Hi,
While we choose in-place upgrade for upgrading to SQL Server 2005 from SQL Server 2000, does it actually change the code in Stored Procedures/functions also?
e.g. if I have *= in some old procedure does it change it to INNER JOIN while migrating?
Please help me on this ASAP.
Regards,
Rahul
Hi, nice to meet you all ^^
I've been given this access database to look at which could eventually be upgraded to SQL, I am conducting a kind of initital research in to how we would go about it. The previous system has developed over time and is pretty messy. I'm not really a database developer, but as everyone is busy on other things, this side project has been given to me to look at as a warm up!
Basically I've managed to upsize all the tables and their contents, and have begun copying the forms over to a .adp - creating most of the queries as stored procedures.
I'm working through cronologically, and this is the 2nd query the system requires... It was full of IIf statements which I have commented out. The adp works, but is missing a lot of data - can't really work out where it was meant to be feeding from, I personally can't stand access - but it's what the original was created in and what they want to use.

I've commented out the IIf statements. I began by trying to convert them in to CASE statements and such - but frankly can't get my head around that.
Getting back to basics... I suppose the question would be: I am upsizing from access to SQL, what the heck do I do with all these IIf statements?
I'm currently upgrading from Access to Sql Server, and I have a broken query that I cannot find a fix for.
The original query:
SELECT DISTINCT DownloadedNames.*FROM DownloadedSkims INNER JOIN (DownloadedNames INNER JOIN DownloadedInfo ON DownloadedNames.DNID = DownloadedInfo.DIDnID) ON DownloadedSkims.DM_ID = DownloadedInfo.DI_DM_IDWHERE DM_ID=23 AND (dWeek BETWEEN '6/26/2006' AND '9/18/2006')ORDER BY DIID, dWeek
I get the error "Msg 145, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if SELECT DISTINCT is specified" when I test the query.
If anyone knows what changes I can make to the query, you'd really be helping me out.

When attemping to install SQL 2005 Express using the following command line arguments
/qb UPGRADE=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=MY_INSTANCE
or

the following error occurs.
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.
Edition check:
Your upgrade is blocked because of edition upgrade rules. For more information about edition upgrades, see the Version and Edition Upgrades topic in SQL Server 2005 Setup Help or SQL Server 2005 Books Online.
The following version and editions have been verified.
1. .NET 2.0 installed
2. Windows XP SP2
3. MSDE 8.00.2039(SP4)
4. all MSDE databases are owned by sa
5. Instance and SQLAgent running under user that is member of Administrators
What are the possible reasons this error is occurring?
I am sending out an SOS.
Here is the situation:
We recently upgrade to 2005(sp). We have one report that ran fine in 2000 but leaves out data from certain columns (date related) in the results, so we chalked it up to being a non compatiable issue. So, I decided to try and switch the DB back to 2000 compatibility (in our test env) and then back to 2005. After that the report started returning the proper data. We can€™t really explain why it worked but it did. So we thought we would try it in prod (we knew it was a long shot) and it didn€™t work. So the business needs this report so we thought we would refresh the test system from prod, but now we are back to square one. I was wondering if anyone else has heard or seen anything like this. I am open to any idea€™s, no matter how crazy. J The systems are configured identically. Let me know if you need more information.
Thank you. Scott

Greetings,
I have a client whose DBA upgraded their SQL 2000 database to SQL 2005. They still have it running in 8.0 compatibility mode, for various reasons, and would like me to help them develop a migration strategy to get them to full 9.0 compatibility.
My question is: can I run the Upgrade Advisor on a SQL 2005 engine database running in 8.0 compatibility mode and get anything useful? I already know there will be some issues with existing DTS packages but it would be nice to catch any other issues in advance.
I know that the Upgrade Advisor was run before the upgrade took place but to my knowledge the report was not saved and none of the recommendations were followed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Lon
SQL 2000 -> SQL 2005 upgrade on windows server 2003 ... We've done numerous side by side types of upgrades which have the advantages of being able to migrate things at a slower pace with limited downtime. I have a situation where it seems like it would be the least amount of work to do an in place upgrade involving 22 transactional in-house developed databases and associated in-house developed applications. There's no replication, no DTS packages, nothing I can think of that would complicate the upgrade. I was wondering if there's people out there that have done lots of these and haven't had any problems OR if there have been lots of problems. Anyway, any advice would be appreciated.

Hi,
I plan to move my servers from Windows NT and SQL 7 to Win2K Advanced Server and SQL 2000. I am not going to upgrade the windows server, as I have been told this isn't a good thing. Therefore, I plan to detach my databases, install win2K, install SQL 2000, and then attach the databases. I've read that this works fine, but I am curious as to whether or not I can do this with master and msdb(as I want to keep all logins, jobs, etc). Is this possible? Also, is my plan decent? it seems to be the easiest way to me...
Thanks!
Hi All,
I am upgrading sql 6.5 to 7.0. The 6.5 database has 3 data files. Do I need to create 3 datafiles in version 7.0 after the server has been upgraded? Before I do the upgrade on the production server, I want to do a test on another machine loaded with sql 6.5, Do I need create 3 data files on 6.5 to to load the database from the production server before I upgrade the test machine to sql 7.0?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
After upgradation ran successfully, I want to uninstall 6.5,
Is there any issues like removing 7.0 file while removing 6.5.
dindu
If you run the upgrade wizard shouldn't all your databases
be upgraded from 6.5 to 7.0? The wizard created all of my databases and objects but the table doesn't have any data him them, If I switch back to 6.5 the data are in the table. Did I leave out a step?

Please Help!! any Ideas Appreciated!
Ok, Ive worked out that my current SQL 6.5 is
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to reformat SQL6.5 database tables to accept a different format for the date and currency fields. When SQL6.5 was installed the dates were set at mm/dd/yy and the currency in $ and would now like to change this to date dd/mm/yy and the currency to R (South African Rand). I was made to understand that it would be easier to reformat and convert this once we upgrade to SQL version 7(latest). Could anyone please assist as we do not have another server at hand to test with. The existing database (SQL 6.5) is not very large yet as we have only recently started using the new application but the database consists of approx. 250 tables and would be a huge job to export each table seperately into Access for conversion and back into SQL.

I just finished upgrading from SQL 6.5 to SQL 7.0 SP2. After following all the information I could find on the CDs and on Technet, I uninstalled SQL 6.5 the way the instructions said to, from within the SQL 7.0 menu.
After doing this a discovering that my SMS Database is now gone, I did some research and found a article on Technet about this. The article is: "Q236989 - BUG: Uninstalling SQL 6.5 after upgrade to 7.0 may remove 7.0 data files" This information would have been nice before I lost my data.
Any one experience this? How did you get around it?? Did you get your data back??

I am trying to upgrade a database called "FLD" running on 6.5 (version 6.5.201 which I believe is SP3) on server "SMITTY" to server "CONCEPCION" running 7.0 SP1. I get the following error when the export of data begins...

Both machines are running NT 4.0 (SP5), have the same administrator password and the same SQL SERVER 'sa' password. What would cause this? After trying to upgrade just the one database (FLD), I then tried to upgrade all databases and got the same error on a different database.
I'm not familiar with SQL at all. SQL 7 was installed during the installation of SMS 2.0 I'm not sure if the SQL db has OLAP Add-in kit and OLAP Services DTS task kit. How do I find out???
The readme.txt of upgrading SQL 7.0 sp2 said these kits must be updated if earlier verions exist.
Also, can we go straight from SQL no service pack to SP2?
Hi,
I have a problem about how can I upgrade from SQL Server 6.5 to SQL Server 7.0. I want to upgrade all of them that is in my

Please give me more detailed recommendations.
Thanks a lot!!
