Upgrading 2000 To 2005, Can I Just Move Data File?
May 2, 2007
I just installed SQL 2005 on a new box. I want to move a database from a SQL 2000 server to the new server. Can I detach the database, copy it and attach it in the new server without having problems?
I'm concerned that if the datafile is in SQL2000 format, when I connect it to SQL2005 server, will it still be in old format or will it upgrade?....or is this something you don't worry about....and why?
Ok another "I Don't crap about SQL and should read the book" question:
I am purchasing new servers for a company that currently runs SQL 2000 in a Windows 2k3 environment. Not sure why, but they want to upgrade to SQL 2005. The have 4 SQL 2000 Standard editions. Three with 1 processor licensing and 1 with per device licensing. The new servers will have 2 x Quad core processors. Since I know licensing is per "Physical Processor" I need to purchase an additional license for a second processor on each machine that has two. How do I purchase a second one? Can do this online? Whats the cost? Another question I have is: Do I need to buy SQL 2005 Standard (Full Standard Version) install on the new machine and migrate by databases from SQL 2000 over to the new ones? Or is there like an upgrade kit where I install SQL 2000 on the new ones then buy a update to SQL 2005 disc? Please don't laugh at my questions, I am by no means a SQL GURU. Thanks in advance.
I was with online chat with Microsoft, and the guy said there is no upgrade option between SQL versions like there is from Windows XP home to Pro, or 2000 to XP. Is this true? Has anyone else done this before? I'm wanting to upgrade from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. I was hoping there was a 32-bit to 64-bit upgrade as well within the versions, but that doesn't seem available either. I will settle for SQL 2005 32-bit if I can upgrade, but if I have to buy a whole other license for it, I might as well get x64. If anyone has done this or has experience in this, any information would be much appreciated!
I want to upgrade SQL server 2000 to SQL server2005, what are the issues which I have to look at during my upgrading process, what sort of problems might be faced during the upgrading?
Hey all! I currently am running 8.00.760 which is the Standard Edition of SQL 2000 SP3 (or it might be 3A - no way to tell)
I have downloaded and am preparing to install 9.0.3042.1 SQL 2005 SP2 but when I run the exe file it informs me that "This machine does not have a product that matches this installation package."
Both are 32 bit versions and the precise exe I'm attempting to run is: SQLServer2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe
I'm logged on as the server admin. The server is running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP2. It has dual Xeon 3.2ghz dual core processors and 4gb of RAM
All of the documentation indicates that this upgrade path is acceptable.
The only thing I have noticed in the Sys Requirements (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=d07219b2-1e23-49c8-8f0c-63fa18f26d3a&displaylang=en) is that the supported OS is Windows 2003 SP1 (and no sign of SP2 in the list!) could that be what the issue is?
Does anyone have any advice on where I should look to tackle this issue? I'd like to explore all free avenues before dropping any money for the paid SQL support services. Thanks for any help. Geoff Garcia March of Dimes ggarcia@marchofdimes.com 914-997-4275
I restored a 2000 database back up in to my 2005 database and it works fine. THe only problem is that I cannot create diagrams.
I get the following message:
Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database does not have a valid owner. To continue, first use the Files page of the Database Properties dialog box or the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to set the database owner to a valid login, then add the database diagram support objects.
I have checked the db_owner and that is a valid owner.
I changed a few times to different owners and still could not install the diagrams..
I have to upgrade and move SQL Server 2000 databases from a platform using Server 2000 to one running SQL Server 2005. The server nameinstances will need to be the same so that a number of third party applications and front end systems that connect, and are outside of my control, will not need any data source changes. The servers will be on the same network and can't co-exist with the same name so I guess that I have to go "big bang".
Does anyone have any suggestions for a strategy that I can use? Does anyone know of any issues that I should be aware of?
I have run the SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Advisor and it tells me the databases should upgrade OK with a few minor issues that can be fixed after.

We are in the process of going through all test steps for upgrading one of our servers with SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. Currently Server 2000, which we will be upgrading as well after SQL is upgraded and running properly. We have Reporting Services installed as well. I am using a test server which is an exact mirrored image of the live server but is not added to the domain.
I am going through the steps of selecting the components, selecting the instance, and then selecting the installed components I want to upgrade (SQL Server 8.0.??? and Reporting Services 8.0.???) and click next.
The upgrade analysis begins. Everything is ok through the SQL Server analysis but when I click next to start the upgrade analysis on Reporting Services I get this error message, "SQL Server Setup requires administrator permissions for the upgraded SQL Server instance. To continue, log in with an administrator account." I am logged in as the local admin which should have the required permissions to upgrade Reporting Services, plus the local admin was ok for the SQL Server upgrade anaylis
I have no idea what could be causing this permissions issue. I did run the SQL 2005 Updrade Analyzer utility and performed all the "before" steps. What could be the issue?
I am in the position that my DR environment will be down while the upgrade from 2000 to 2005 is being done. The upgrade instructions say that update statistics and DBCC check database should be done. With the size of my database I estimate that this will take over 2 days to do. Is this step a necessary step for the upgrade. I am looking to reduce my expose. Keep in mind that DR get overwritten each night.
Is there a way to move the primary log file for a database to another drive without doing this with a restore database operation? I have added a second log log file but now I would like to delete the one that was created when the database was created.
Hello everyone, I am upgrading from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. Any caveats? Can I just detach the db's and attach them into 2005. Or is there any conversion I should run or import first?
I have one 32-bit SQL 2000 server that is our enterprise-wide reporting server (we'll call it RS) and another 32-bit SQL 2000 server that serves as a stored proc data source for certain reports on that server (we'll call it DS). I am about to go through an upgrade/migration of DS to 64-bit SQL 2005 and was wondering if:
it is possible to just change the data source location on RS and point the old reports against the new DS server? there are any necessary steps to take within RS to make the data source (DS reference on RS) compatible with the destination (report on RS)? it is possible/easy to bulk-migrate all the RDL's for a particular data source from RS to DS?
Does anyone know any of the answers to these questions?
I'm trying to upgrade a Microsoft SQL 2000 (8.00.760 SP3) server to SQL 2005.
It€™s a standard install, std version, not very big databases, default instance, plenty of memory etc. OS is a 2003 server recently upgraded from 2000. All patches etc are installed.
Upgrade was going fine and had got approx 90% through, had started the 2005 db service and converted the databases before it got the following error:
SQL Server Setup could not connect to the database service for server configuration. The error was: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Invalid connection string attribute Refer to server error logs and setup logs for more information. For details on how to view setup logs, see "How to View Setup Log Files" in SQL Server Books Online.
The 'For help' link returned the helpful... €˜We are sorry but we can€™t help€™...
Worked through http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143698.aspx but not 100% applicable and didn€™t resolve.
Partially rolled back, rebooted and resumed install but failed in the same place. Ended going back to a backup snapshot so is now back running as SQL 2000.
Excerpt from install log is below...
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Does anyone know of a resource that describes the steps to upgrade an instance of MSDE(2000) to SQL 2005 Standard?
We found something on a MS site that indirectly indicated you could upgrade the MSDE to SQL Express and then upgrade Express to the full version of 2005, but that method created quite a bit of problems(System databases), which we were not able to resolve short of uninstalling MSDE and the apps and installing SQL 2005 and re-installing the apps; but I have to believe there is a better way.
How do SQL 2000 service packs play a role in upgrading? That is, can SQL 2000 Standard with no Service Packs(SP) be upgraded to SQL 2005 Standard, or does SQL 2000 Standard have to have a certain service pack??
I recently upgraded from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. I have Oracle databases I need to share data with. I was using the Heterogeneous Services (hsodbc) from Oracle and connected to SS 2000 fine. Since I've upgraded, I can't use hsodbc to connect to my SS 2005 database. I get the following error:

i've used sql 2000 to create reports. Now i have almost 100 reports with lot of history (snapshots). Now i've developed the same reports in 2005 (basically upgraded the reports). If i upload the new reports, the 2000 history will be lost. Is there anyway that i can upgrade to 2005 and save the history ??
We have a module in our business-application, that automatically installs merge replication of the business-application's database, both at publisher and subscribers. It's intended for Sql-2000. Now we need it to be applicable also for Sql-2005, so the module requires some changes, because, as we noticed, sql-2005's replication technology differs from Sql-2000's one.
A few questions to experts, familiar with Merge Replication in SQL-2005:
1. Is it possible to create hybrid replication, with publisher running at SQL-2000 (MSDE) and subscribers running at SQL-2005 Express? Merge publication is not supported in SQL 2005 Express, but some users may require option to use the application at free-of-charge database platform.
2. How deep are changes in merge replication implementation at system level? Is it just modified a bit since SQL-2000, or changed entirely? This knowledge is needed, because the module uses some low-level features (executing system sp's, querying replication-specified tables, etc.). For example, when we tried to create subscription of existing publication in SQL 2005 using the module as is, we found out that sp_addmergepullsubscription_agent doesn't use @encrypted_password parameter anymore, and subscription creation process failed.
3. If anybody has experience using merge replication creation/deletion/detection scripts, generated by SQL 2000, in SQL 2005! Please, tell - what more problems may happen?
I am having issues trying to do an in place upgrade of msde 2000 to sql express 2005. When I try to upgrade it bombs when it reaches "Running action to shutdown instance(Run As Normal User)" with the following error: Service 'computername' could not be stopped. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to stop system services. The error code is (16386). I've tried an upgrade on a clean test machine, and it goes through without any problems. I am logged into an account with local admin permissions. If any one has any ideas, they would be appreciated.

Is it just me, or are features missing in Management Studio? I mean, where is the "Export Objects" option when exporting data? Why is it so difficult to register a remote server? Why do the object views suck? And most important, why is the documentation the worst software documentation I have EVER SEEN?! Things that were easy in Enterprise Manager with Client Network Utility and Query Analyzer seem impossible, difficult, or maybe just hidden in Management Studio. If it is there, the documentation sure doesnt tell you how to find it. Please someone tell me that it's just me. Tell me that the features are there but Im not doing something right. I feel like putting my head in between my door opening and banging the door against it.
I have an existing sql server 2000 installation on one server. I now need to take one 2000 DB and restore it to a new sql server 2005 installation (on a different server).
What is the best way to do this. I can not upgrade the sql server 2000 installation to 2005. Basically i hoping all i need to do is backup the 2000 db and then restore it on the new sql 2005 server.
Hello,I have a database in 2005 that I'd like to copy and attach in 2000. Is thispossible? if so, how do I do it? I've tried doing a number of things fromjust trying to attach to the db file to trying to export and import viaaccess and I can't seem to get anything to work.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!Rick
We have purchased a new Development SQL Server that is running SQL Server 2005. Our existing Development SQL Server is running SQL 2000.
How can I move the DTS packages from the SQL 2000 server to the new SQL 2005 server? I will be upgrading them to SSIS at some point, but don't have the time now.
Recently moved a couple of dbs from SQL 2000 -> SQL 2005 (different machine). Just restored the dbs on the new server from a full backup of the old one. Everything is fine but...
Some queries are returning out-of-order results (for records added since the migration). I tracked this down to the indexes. I completely rebuilt and reorganized the indexes (online) through the manager interface. This helped provide correct ordering for existing records, but new records added since the re index are still out-of-order.
Looking for a way to permanently fix the indexes so I don't have to constantly rebuild them.
