Upgrading To Sql 7.0
Feb 5, 2002Hi,
I have to upgrade the sql server from 6.5 to 7.0 for the first time. I have decided to go with two machine upgrade using named pipes.
The question is: Can we still use 6.5 machine and database as production version until we test out the application on 7.0?
We are planning to relpeat the upgrade once the testing is done on 7.0 server once the testing is done.
Upgrading From 6.5 To 7.0
May 14, 1999We'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).
Thanks,

Upgrading 2k5 To Sp2
May 15, 2008So 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?
Upgrading From 3.23 To 4.1
Jul 23, 2005I 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.

Nov 29, 2007I'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?
Thanks ahead

SP3 && SP4 Not Upgrading
Dec 22, 2005When 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.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!
Why The Data Are Different After Upgrading From 6.5 To 7.0
Apr 29, 2002We 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?

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?
Errors When When Upgrading To SQL 7 Sp3
Apr 30, 2002Hi,
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.??
Thanks Much,

Codepages When Upgrading From 6.5 To 7.0

Upgrading From SQL Server 6.0

Upgrading SQL 6.5 To 7.0 Problem.
Jun 29, 2001Have 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.

Dec 3, 2004Hi,
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?
Thanks in Advance.

Upgrading Server...
Feb 11, 2004Hi All,
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.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Upgrading To 2005
Mar 5, 2007Hi 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.
How can I now upgrade the databases themselves?
Please help!
thanks!

Moving A Db And Upgrading
Sep 11, 2007Hi
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
