So I'm using Visual Studio's one click deployment to install/update software for users. SQL Express 2005 is the default, and I need to get all current and new users to update to SQL Express 2005 SP2. Ontop of that, I need to change the sa password for all current users (I should be able to manually set it for the new guys).
The problem I'm having is that instead of just updating the current SQL Express engine installed, it creates a new instance of the SQL Express engine when installing SQL Express SP2.
Is there anyway to just update SQL Express to SP2? Is there an easy way to change the sa password when doing so?
We're going to be upgrading our Server from 6.5 to 7.0. In addition we're getting a new SQL Server Box.
Which of the following is better: a) Install SQL 6.5 on the new box, restore the DB from old box to the new box, then install 7.0 on the new box and use the upgrade wizard to upsize the DB. (We'll have room to leave the 6.5 devices on the box after upgrading.) or b) Install SQL 7.0 on the new box and upsize the db across the network (100megabit network cards).

I'm following a white paper and have run chkupg65 and am stuck at resolving keyword conflicts. I see many TechNet references about fixing them...but none about how. A little help? Below are the conflicts: Keyword conflicts Column name: SyncModification.ACTION[SQL-92 keyword] Column name: Jobs.EXPIREDATE[SQL-92 keyword] Column name: SqlStoreTable.SIZE[SQL-92 keyword] Column name: JobDetails.TIME[SQL-92 keyword] Column name: SchedulerSafeDelete.TIME[SQL-92 keyword] Column name: SMSEvent.TIME[SQL-92 keyword] Column name: SyncModification.TIME[SQL-92 keyword] Column name: vJobDetails.TIME[SQL-92 keyword] Column name: vSMSEvent.TIME[SQL-92 keyword] Column name: Sites.TIMESTAMP[SQL-92 keyword] Column name: QueryExpressions.VALUE[SQL-92 keyword]
Does anyone know of a good book or resource on what's the best way to upgrade 6.5 to 2k? Or generally how would you do that considering you need to do on more then 50 servers?
I have an application which installs MySQL 3.23. It's hard-coded. Irealize there are newer versions, so I am thinking, what's easiest:1) install the application with its default 3.23 and then run a scriptto convert 3.23 to 4.1 or later,or2) modify the application to install a newer version of MySQL from thestart.
I'm in the process of upgrading a gazillion apps from using .MDB files to using SQLCE 3.5. (Or, at least planning the upgrade). Is there an easy way to save existing .MDB files as .SDFs? Also, we have an occasional app that's web based (eg. certification exam, where we have 10 people take it online at the same time, in one day, and the database keeps the score, questions, etc.); is it a good idea to move that kind of app to SQLCE from MDB?
Hey, I have a SQL Server 2005 Express Edition installed, and I want to upgrade to SP2. Is there a way to configure (using the setup ini file maybe?) the installer to install only the SP2?
When I run SP3 & SP4 for SQL Server it runs okay. I get no errors after the installation & both installations call for a reboot which I do with no problems.
But yet when I get back into my machine, go to the Query Analyzer & run "Select @@version" and execute it, it's still showing v8.00.194 (Original release). It should be showing 8.00.2039.
We are upgrading our servers from 6.5 to 7.0 SQL servers. I used the same configurations on both 6.5 server and 7.0 server like ANSI and the others. But SQL7.0 server turns out to have different data on some tables. Here is the example on one table. Why?
WT_PAY_PERIOD_DATE WT_RDC_HOURS WT_RDC_EXPENSE WT_MS_SUB_HOURS WT_MS_APPR_IND WT_NEW_EMPL_FLAG ------------------------------------- -------------------------- --------------------------------- -------------------------------- ----------------------------- -------------------------------- 2002-04-20 00:00:00.000 23.50 135.2050 23.50 Y X
WT_ASSOC_OTH_EXPENSE WT_ASSOC_TOT_EXP WT_MS_TOT_EXP WT_MS_MILE_LIM ------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------- -------------------------- --------------------------- 3.7600 135.2050 135.2050 373 ************************************************** ************************************************** ************************************************** ********************** I have checked the datatypes that are transferred from SQL6.5. They are the same types as SQL6.5. Plus the configurations are the same on both 6.5 and 7.0. The question is that why the values are different? What the way is to fix it?
Well there's always a first for everything!! I have a SQL 7.0 server on sP1 and ran upgrade to sp3 and recieved error 'error in upgrade script' retry or cancel. When I retried the upgrade ended. I tried to run the upgrade again and it tries continue where it ended before, but the upgrade ends unsucessfully. I even tried extracted the sp3 exe to a diffrent folder and ran the sp3 upgrade with same results.
I started the MSSQL service ok but not able to use Query Analyzer, DTS, EM.
Get the following message:ISQL.EXE - Entry Point not found. The procedure entry point?DeleteRow@CDataCTLStorage@@UAEJJPAPAG@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLGUI.dll
I get similar msgs when trying to open DTS, Enterprise manager from the server. The user databases and appear to be ok. I am able to get to Query Analyzer, etc. from my worksation fine.
Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a fix for it or do I need to rebuild the server from SP1 and restore the databases, etc.??
Has anyone attempted an upgrade from sql7 to 2000? is it a difficult process? what happens to the users. Is there a good site i can go to to get this info ?
Does anyone know how to upgrade a sql driver. Or where to get the driver dll from. The client machine is running 3.70.06.23 and needs 3.70.08.20 to connect to the sql server!
One of my students' company is doing an upgrade from SQL 6.5 to SQL 7.0 and everything converts fine except one veiw. Does anyone know what would cause this to happen? If they run the script in SQL 7.0 it works fine. Any thoughts?
CREATE VIEW dbo.vewRptWooActiveList AS SELECT vewRptWooActiveListSub1.wotUserValue1, vewRptWooActiveListSub1.wooNum, vewRptWooActiveListSub1.wooCreatedWhen, vewRptWooActiveListSub1.wooDispatchedWhen, vewRptWooActiveListSub2.MaxOfwslInsertedWhen AS wooLastStatusWhen, vewRptWooActiveListSub1.wosUserValue1, vewRptWooActiveListSub1.sitName, vewRptWooActiveListSub1.empFullName_Cp, vewRptWooActiveListSub1.Company, vewRptWooActiveListSub1.Region, vewRptWooActiveListSub1.ServiceCenter, vewRptWooActiveListSub1.Zone FROM vewRptWooActiveListSub1 INNER JOIN vewRptWooActiveListSub2 ON vewRptWooActiveListSub1.wooID = vewRptWooActiveListSub2.wsl_WooIDFk
I have a couple of 6.5 installations with different codepages/sort orders, when I come to upgrade these databases, is it possible to change the code pages/sort order during the upgrade of my existing databases so that I have the same sort order/codepages across all my sites?
The databases don't actually have any extended characters in.
All the documentation I have read talks about upgrading from SQL Server 6.x. I presume I can use the upgrade wizard to upgrade my 6.0 system directly to 7.0 without having to upgrade to 6.5 first.
Any thoughts, comments or help would be much appreciated.
Does the upgrade wizard in 7.0 help me upgrade ALL the database objects in SQL 6.5 (including stored procedures, triggers) to 7.0? Has anyone encountered any problems?
Have you ever faced a problem like this. I am running MS SQL Server 6.5 on Windows NT 4.0 computer whose name is with dashes (hou-is). Now, I try to update to version 7.0 and it gives me error message: @@nameserver from export 6.5 is not valid. Use sp_addserver and sp_netname. How you can change a sql server name to non-dash name in order to complete the upgrade sql server? I know this is a challenging tech question. I appreciate your tech expertise.
Currently running SQL Server 7, and have databases. I want to upgrade to SQL Server 2000. How can achieve it without delete or losing my databases. This is NOT a production server, BUT I still want to keep my databases. Ideally I would like to uninstall and reinstall so that there are no SQL Server 7 files lying around when I have SQL 2000 running. Thanks.
We are trying to upgrade from SQL Server v7.0 to SQL Server 2000. Here's our set up,
Current Server: Win NT, SQL Server v7.0 New Server : Win 2000, SQL Server 2000 Client (my PC): Win XP, SQL Server 2000
The New Server is designated SQL Server machine -- company-wide. That is, all the apps/projects uses this machine as the SQL Server. It only has one instance of SQL Server running.
Different project are assigned a dedicated 'Drive' (logical only) and allocated certain disk size as the work space. We (my team) will be the new entry for this server.
Q: When doing the Copy Wizard (from my PC) to upgrade/copy the existing v7.0 db (from Current Server) to New SQL Server 2000, do I need to specify the physicall 'Data' folder? Or, can I copy the database to the selected path -- which is my dedicated drive?
Does anyone know how I would go about upgrading a database version to 'C.0.6.43'? I am getting an error and it is telling me to upgrade my database to this version.
We're about to upgrade/re-build our SQL server box.
We have 2 apps which use the server (both fairly small), one uses NT security - the other uses SQL security.
My question is, apart from our 2 databases, what else should we backup (and restore onto the new clean machine) so as to preserve the user logins for the app that uses SQL security (the other one's dead simple)? The app itself maintains the user details and creates the SQL logins (with passwords etc.) but I can't find a way to 're-create' them.
I have read a few books on SQL Server and on access. I recently got my 1st programming job (vb.net)
I want to move my database from Access to SQL server. But I would like to Use access as the front end for simple data entry, queries and reports. I dont know how to do this,, (using Access as a front end for SQL Server)
Can anyone recomend topics of interest or a good book?
Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm totally new to SQL server.
I wanted to upgrade this one server that was running SQL 8.0. I did an install of SQL2005 (9.0 right?) and it appeared to go well. But once it was completed I found out that the original installation of SQL was on a different drive. So instead of upgrading, I actually installed another instance of SQL? (Is that term correct?) So now when I open SQL2005, it shows the server name but with (SQL Server 8.0.2039) next to it.
Hi Im new to this forum so go easy! Ive been asked to do a few things: 1. copy an existing 2005 express db to another machine 2. on the new machine install 2005 express and get the db working 3. upgrade 2005 express to 2005 standard (have disks etc)
So far i've physically copied the .mdf and the .ldf to the new local machine and I think ive installed sql 2005 express ok, but what do I do when I start it up, eg asks for a server name etc. Is that my local machine name, ive tried browsing and cant seem to do so locally to pick up the copied db. Once ive got this sorted, is the upgrade to standard a straight forward microsoft install, or do i have to do anything to the db (unmount is it called?)
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks
Does anyone know how much it costs to upgrade from SQL 2000 to SQL2005? All I can find is the "Software assurance" package which alsomentions buying SQL 2000. What options are there if you already haveSQL 2000 installed and just want to upgrade?
Hello all! I'm a newly appointed database administrator and have beenstruggling with my consious about what would make me an excellentdatabase administrator. I've worked in Access for years and know thatif your comfortable with:1. writing expressions2. writing some VBA3. the basics with Tables, Forms, Queries and Reports.and you'd be sitting pretty. SQL Server is a little more robust thanAccess and i'm not sure where I should start.I'm comfortable with writing T-SQL statments, backing up, and creatingusers. but other than that, i'm a little lost on what else i shouldknow.thanks.
I am going to be upgrading to SP2 on an active/passive cluster currently running RTM. I have read the release notes, but there isn't much cluster specific information there. At what point during the installation are connections to the database no longer available? I am trying to figure out approximately how much downtime we will have during this installations. Are there any precautions, other than a backup, that I should take to ensure the upgrade goes smoothly?
I am currently runing SQL Server 200 (personal edition) and I need to upgrade to SQL SVR Standard Edtion. Do I need to uninstall the personal edition first? Or can I install over it?
