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.
View 1 RepliesHow 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??

We are currently still running SQL6.0 on NT4 server, and we want to upgrade to SQL2000. My question: how easy is it to upgrade from SQL6.0 to SQL2000?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
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.

Have an old PII server running Windows 2000 and SQL 7.0.
We just got a new box, Windows 2003 and SQL 2000.
Is there some kind of upgrade advisor or anything for me to read so I can prepare for this upgrade?
I'm most curious about how to properly transfer my data from the old box to the new.
I am currently running an active/passive cluster NT4 with SQL7 clustered. I am trying to upgrade SQL to a clustered 2000 version. I have a san disk area allocated as a Z: drive. These are the following steps I have taken:
1. Used cluster wizard to uncluster the SQL 7 instance.
2. Using the SQL 2000 Enterprise cd created a new virtual server (with the same IP address and name as the previous SQL 7 server) I have left the install as a default instance.
3. Part way through the install I am asked to browse to the data area. The data area is Z:mssql7data.
On completion of the install I now have the following data path Z:mssql7datamssqldata and all the databases are still SQL7 databases.
My questions are:
How can I get the install to update/convert the databases to SQL 2000 as it doesnt seem to recognise them?
Will the install always suffix the data path with mssqldata
Any assistance appreciated.
Hi,
I'm planning an upgrade of SQL 7.0 on NT 4.0 to SQL 2000 and of course I will attempt to upgrade the OS to Windows 2000 first.
Can anyone tell me of any issues I may run across during this upgrade?
Can I assume that SQL 7.0 will run ok on Windows 2000?
thanks much,
Robert
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.

All the setup has been terminated without errors, but if i execute on Q.Analyser : "Select @@version" on the end of line of my query result , i have ....(Service Pack 1)
I don´t know , if effectively the upgrade has been terminated with sucess.I try to restart my server several time , but the result of my query is always the same "....(Service Pack 1)"
Also, on my firewall server , i ´am create an UDP port 1434, because my ODBC client machine was enable to connect to my server.

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!

Hi everyone,
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.

I am planning on upgrading one of my SQL 7 servers to SQL 2000. This server is currently and will continue to replicate with a SQL 7 server.
I want to view our current replication jobs & schedules in plan text so I can check when I recreate the replication that I haven't missed anything. Does anyone know if this is possible?

We have 2 SQL servers in a failover cluster environment. SQL1 and SQL2. Currently SQL1 is the primary in the cluster, and we need to upgrade from Service Pack 3 to Service Pack 4.
Our setup:
Both servers are Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition.
Both servers have SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3.
My question is:
Which upgrade plan do I take? Do I:
1. Upgrade the backup (offline) server in the cluster (SQL2) first, reboot, then failover from SQL1 to SQL2? Then do the other server?
2. Upgrade the primary (online) server in the cluster (SQL1) first and see if it replicates to the backup?
Any advice or tips would be most appreciated.
Thanks.
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..
Any ideas?
thanks
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.
Thanks,

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.
What's the procedure for upgrading the installed evaluation version of SQL Server 2000 to the full Enterprise Edition? Your help is appreciated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello 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?
Thanks,
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?
Thanks in advance!
Hello all,
I'm finding the documentation online to upgrading from 2000 to 2005 fairly poor.
What are the upgrading options and which one is the best option for a web server database.
Also what are best practices pre-upgrade, during upgrade and post-upgrade.
Cannot find much online.
Also since this question will be asked often might as well make it a sticky.
Thanks
Hello
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.

My question is two fold:
We have a database 65 GB in size and has grown over 12 years.
1) How can I upgrade to 2005 without downtime?
2) Our upgrades on SQL 2000 now can take upwards of 10 hours to add just a column and rebuild index tables?
Any way we can speed this up without detaching the database and going offline?
thanks,
Larry Sitka
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.
Thanks! Bob McEuen
