I have a large (huge) database that I want to copy onto my new slq 2005 test server. I'm leaning toward detaching the data on my 2000 box, duplicating it, copying it to my new 2005 machine, and attaching it. Is it possible that it could be that simple? If not, how is it done? Thanks a bunch for any help or pointers to the articles I was totally unable to find on the subject.
View 3 RepliesHi,
I worked on a project in ASP.NET using SQL server 2000 as the back end. Its a conversion application that I rewrote in ASP.NET using C#. I need to import the old data in Access db into SQL server 2000 and I have very little knowledge about doing it. The data in not a direct one -one transformation. There are considerable changes to the Database design and data types. Any help and suggestions wud be really helpful. Also, any article links wud be great.
Thanks
OK, I have some SQL Server 2000 databases that I want to convert to 2005. My question: how do I do that?
I tried importing the data, but it only picked up 3 tables out of 7 user tables in one of my SS2K databases. Plus, it did not pick up any stored procedures or any other kind of objects.
So I tried restoring from a backup, but predictably it could not do that because the original backup was on a different server.
I also tried the upgrade advisor utility that comes with SS2K5, but it could not seem to connect to my SS2K server -- it said it could not find any SQL Server objects on the server, even though I am connected using Enterprise Manager and have been using this server for a long time. Is it looking for 2005 databases? That wouldn't make a lot of sense.
Anyway, I am stumped... can anyone provide help on this?
Thanks!
Hello,
Finally making the move to ASP.NET! I've been advised that to begin with it is probably best to start using SQL Server 2005 with ASP.NET. All my sites are currently using MySQL. Can anyone advise a way for me to import all the data from a MySQL database to a SQL Server 2005 database. Apologies if this isn't directly related to ASP.NET but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I am attempting to move a timestamp data column from DB2 to SQL Server 2005. Normally not a big deal but the column is part of unique index.
The DB2 timestamp has seconds of ss.ssssss but SQL Server only has ss.sss.
Most all the times entered into this column are a from an automated process so they are really close together timewise.
Here is what I have come up with so far:
1. Fast Load OLEDB with a batch of 10,000 records at a time
2. On the fail of the batch redirect rows to a regular table load OLEDB insert task
3. On the fail of the single insert redirect rows to script that ups the seconds one tick.
4. Attempt one last insert of the modified rows
5. If fail, then store the record off to a delimited text file
I am hoping to get the number of records that wind up in the delimited text file to be a very small number and not in the 1,000+.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi all--I'm trying to convert a function which I inherited from a SQL Server 2000 DTS package to something usable in an SSIS package in SQL Server 2005. Given the original code here:
Function Main()
on error resume next
dim cn, i, rs, sSQL
Set cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cn.Open "Provider=sqloledb;Server=<server_name>;Database=<db_name>;User ID=<sysadmin_user>;Password=<password>"
set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
set rs = DTSGlobalVariables("SQLstring").value
for i = 1 to rs.RecordCount
sSQL = rs.Fields(0).value
cn.Execute sSQL, , 128 'adExecuteNoRecords option for faster execution
rs.MoveNext
Next
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
End Function
This code was originally programmed in the SQL Server ActiveX Task type in a DTS package designed to take an open-ended number of SQL statements generated by another task as input, then execute each SQL statement sequentially. Upon this code's success, move on to the next step. (Of course, there was no additional documentation with this code. :-)
Based on other postings, I attempted to push this code into a Visual Studio BI 2005 Script Task with the following change:
public Sub Main()
...
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
End Class
I get the following error when I attempt to compile this:
Error 30209: Option Strict On requires all variable declarations to have an 'As' clause.
I am new to Visual Basic, so I'm on a learning curve here. From what I know of this script:
- The variables here violate the new Option Strict On requirement in VS 2005 to declare what type of object your variable is supposed to use.
- I need to explicitly declare each object, unless I turn off the Option Strict On (which didn't seem recommended, based on what I read).
Given this statement:
dim cn, i, rs, sSQL
I'm looking at "i" as type Integer; rs and sSQL are open-ended arrays, but can't quite figure out how to read the code here:
Set cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cn.Open "Provider=sqloledb;Server=<server_name>;Database=<db_name>;User ID=<sysadmin_user>;Password=<password>"
set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
This code seems to create an instance of a COM component, then pass provider information and create the recordset being passed in by the previous task, but am not sure whether this syntax is correct for VS 2005 or what data type declaration to make here. Any ideas/help on how to rewrite this code would be greatly appreciated!
Hi, I am trying to edit some data from a SQL2000-datasource in ASP.NET 2.0 and have a problem with a column that has bit-data and is used for selection. SQL2005 works fine when declaring <SelectParameters> <asp:Parameter DefaultValue="TRUE" Name="APL" Type="boolean" /> </SelectParameters>When running this code with SQL2000, there are no error-msgs, but after editing a record the "APL"-column looses its value of 1 and is set to 0. Looks like an issue with type-conversion, we've hit incompatibilities between SQL200 and 2005 with bit/boolean several times before. So, how is this done correctly with SQL2000? (I've tried setting the Type to "int16" -> err. Also setting Defval="1" gave an err) ThanksMichael

My web project (ASP.NET 2.0 / C#) runs against sql server 2000 and uses the System.Data.SqlClient.using System.Data.SqlClient;
I use System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection and System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand to make the connections to the database and do selects and updates. Is it correct to continue to use these against SQL Server 2005? I ask because I made a connection string (outside of .Net) for SqlServer 2005 using the SQL native provider and it had the following - Provider=SQLNCLI.1 and any connection strings I had made (also outside of ASP.NET) fro SQL Server all used Provider=SQLOLEDB.1. This is why I wondered if there is a different SqlClient in .Net 2.0 for SQL Server 2005?
Cheers

View 8 Replies View RelatedAn SSIS package to transfer data from a DB instance on SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2000 is extremely slow. The package uses an OLEDB Source to OLEDB Destination for data transfer which is basically one table from sql server 2005 to sql server 2000. The job takes 5 minutes to transfer about 400 rows at night when there is very little activity on the server. During the day the job almost always times out.
On SQL Server 200 instances the job ran in minutes in the old 2000 package.
Is there an alternative to this. Tranfer Objects task does not work as there is apparently a defect according to Microsoft. Please let me know if there is any other option other than using a Execute 2000 package task or using an ActiveX Script to read records from one source and to insert them into the destination source, which I am not certain how long it might take and how viable will that be?
Any inputs will be much appreciated.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I have some data which is stores in Foxpro dbf files & Access 200 MDB file. Can i extract import these files into SQL Server 2005
Hi,
I'm a newbie on SSIS and am trying to grasp my way through this.
I am trying to copy data from a Sql Server 2000 database to a simplified table in Sql Server 2005 database.
What I want is to move the data to a staging table, then drop the main
table and rename the staging table to the main table, to minimize the
down-time of the data. I can't get the workflow to work, because the
staging table has to exist when I run the package. I thought I could
use an "Execute SQL" task to generate the table before I would run the
task, but that doesn't work. Am I going about this the wrong way? Is
there an optimal solution to this problem so my data can be accessible
as much as possible.
Regards,
Atli
Hi,
We are in the process of upgrading a SQL Server 2000 database to 2005. For the mean time, we're trying it out on SQL Server Express 2005. My question is, can reports in SSRS 2005 pull data from SQL Server 2000 in case both are installed side by side in the same machine and the 2000 version is the default instance while the 2005 express edition is the named instance?
Thanks a lot!
All,
I apologize for not doing the legwork to see if i can answer my own question, but I am close to a loosely planned SQL 2005 migration and don't have time and resources to test my own theories.
Is there a way for a Reporting Services 2000 server to connect to SQL server 2005 databases? I've tried creating a new data source and changing a report to this data source, but it seems like the report is still using the old data source. I'm guessing i might need to register new data providers on the 2000 RS server and then change the existsing data sources.
Ideas?
Thx in advance,

Hello,
I have SQL Server 2000 and 2005 running on the same server. My current system is in SQL Server 2000 and the new system is in SQL Server 2005. My users will be using SQL Server 2000 for the most part, But for the part the processes that have been migrated to 2005, they will be using SQL Server 2005 as well. The database schema is different on both servers eventhough the data will be similar in most respects.
Is there is a way through which any data that is inserted/updated in SQL Server 2000 via content Management System/ manually/ via a batch job, the data is automatically populated in SQL Server 2005 tables or vice versa?
Please advice at the earliest.
Thanks.

Dear all,
Now I am planning to flow data from SQL Server 2005 in Singapore to SQL Server 2000 in Hong Kong.
I am planning to write DTS or VB.Net Program or SQL Stored Procedures. Which is better? Is there any problems or important notes to take care from SQL2005 to SQL2000???
I am afraid when doing in next week, I will face some fatal errors or data transmission problems or conversion problems!!!
Appreciate your help,
Hi
We would like to install Sql 2005 Enterprise Edition (including database engine, reporting service, integration service and analysis service) as a sepearte instance on a server which already has Sql 2000 with reporting services and analysis services. We do not want to disturb the existing sql 2000 setup.
If we do that then what will happen to my earlier sql 2000 reporting service? Will it be upgraded to sql 2005 reporting service? I heard that reporting services are instance unaware application. Where will be the default reporting service database available?
Please help us.

I recently upgraded to SQL Server 2005. My databases are stable and functioning perfectly. However, these databases are using the 32-bit version of SQL Server. The servers are going to be upgraded to 64-bit processors and new Server 2003 64-bit OS's.
Everything I have been able to find says that it is a simple process of backing up the databases in the 32-bit environment and restoring them in the 64-bit environment.
Could it really be that easy? I am looking for someone who has done this to provide any "heads up" commentary on what to look out for during that process. Can anyone provide some information on this process?
Thanks.
I'm trying to convert a 6.5 compatible db from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. The issue I'm encountering is that:
1. I cannot simply convert the 6.5 compatible db to SQL Server 2005. I tried restoring from a backup - no success.
2. I tried creating the structure in SQL Server 2005 and then importing the data from SQL Server 2000. Problem is - after importing the data, I then tried creating the primary key and indexes - get a time-out error (which I never got with SQL Server 2000.) I also tried creating the primary key and indexes in SQL Server 2005 FIRST before importing - got errors when trying to import and import failed.
I know this sounds like a data problem but I have no problems working with this 3 gig database in SQL Server 2000.
Can anyone please help? This is a pretty serious problem I need to overcome with the SQL Server 2005 conversion.
Is there any other way besides manually changing and moving ASC Sequels. I was thinking there was a way that will do the translation without having to manually do it. Also if there is a way will it also Move ASC Tables and Scripts to run Data Files?
Thanks
Hi Folks!
I have the following sql script I wrote using Explicit Option to convert data from SQL Server tables into a single XML file. I am aware of the tedious nature of the select statements, but this seems to the only option I have to depict parent-child nature of the data in XML format and also to schedule it as a job to run via SQL Server Agent.
My problem is that as I run this using the following command, I get "There is insufficient system memory to run this query" error.
I am using the following commnd:
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "EXEC swr_cv2..sproc_BuildXMLTree" queryout "C: est.xml" -U -P -c -r -t'
Is there any way I can tune my query to fix that error?
Thanks so much for your help!

I have got SQL Server Desktop Engine running with 2 database and I need
to install the evaluation version of SQL Server 2005 instead. A
straight upgrade does not seem to be possible. Does someone know if
backing up the databases, uninstalling the desktop engine, installing
SQL Server 2005 and then importing/restoring the databases would be an
option to look into?
