Hi,
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

View 6 Replies View RelatedOK, 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!

View 7 Replies View RelatedI 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 Replies View RelatedHey there guys!
I am trying to convert, (as the title suggests), an already created .rdl file to a .rdlc file. I have googled it and yes came across the most informative "step-by-step", however even after renaming to .rdlc and opening the file in SQL Server 2005 BI the file is still not being deserialized using the reportdefinition from 2005.
Can somebody please help with this and provide me with something a little clearer than "...you must convert the file.".
Thanks in advance for all your help,

Someone:
I have the need to upload a file via a webpage and then save that file into the database. I would also like to retrieve it and show it to the user.
Can someone show me an example of how this should be done. Also I am concerned of the pros and cons of saving files in the database. Is there a performance hit on the server? Will it make the database unstable? Has anyone had problems doing this?
Any suggestions, samples, and/or help are welcome.
I created some MDF/LDF in SQL 7.0 containing my DB. After that I did not deatch it from the SQL server 7.0 and physically formatted the H.Drive. SQL Server 7.0 data directory is still on D drive, I just formatted the C drive. Before that NT 4.0 and SQL server 7.0 were running but now I installed WINDOWS 2000 Server and SQL server 2000 on this machine.
Is there any way to access the previous DBs (MDF/LDF) and put it into the SQl server 2000.
Thanking you in anticipation

Hi ya... About to tear my hair out.
I thought i fixed this problem, as it WORKED about two days ago, but now I'm getting errors.
I have a series of text files, some are delimited, some are fixed width. I previously was able to import these files thru a dts package by creating the table in a stored procedure. Exple:
CREATE TABLE [Pol_Dump073104]
(
[Product_Type] varchar (12) NULL,
[Benefit] float NULL,
[Base_Premium] varchar (12) NULL,
[Rider_Premium] float NULL,
[Contract_Value] float NULL,
)
I then import the text file into the table and then cast the float datatypes as money in a select into statement to do aggregate functions on the money fields. this worked previously, but now I'm receiving this: 'Error converting datatype char to money.' I tried to convert to float and received the same error, only with float where the word money was.
Please help! :mad:

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!
how do i go about converting the Mysql Script below to Sql Server Script ????

Hi gurus,
I've created a linked server (and set up the corresponding schema.ini file) in order to perform bulk-inserts from some CSV text files into SQL tables (from my standpoint the text files are just for reading purposes). The linked server works fine (I can select the data in the files without a problem).
Now the question: is possible to automatically detect when one or more of those files change in order to start the import process automatically? Something like having a trigger created on the CSV files Or there's no easy way to do that so I have, to say something, to create a Job that periodically checks if the files have changed programatically (say, recording each file's timestamp everytime is imported and comparing the recorded value with the current one, or whatever)?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi
I am working on Report builder project and was wondering if somone can help me with below questions
Is it possible to convert RDL files built in report designer to Report Builde RDL file? if yes then is there any tool or we will have to do it manually. I have also seen that there is no SQL in RDL files created in Report Builder.
If above is not possible then my second question is if we can only copy the layout but as we have got 1000 RDL files in built by report desinger how can we automatically convert this into layout in Report Builder.
Does Microsoft has any specific tools for this?
Will highly appreciate for any help on above.

I proposed on a new server that we separate Data Files, Log Files, tempDB, Backups, etc. onto separate LUNS on a SAN with High Speed Solid State Drives.I was told that with the new technology with solid state SAN's that it would decrease performance and that it did not work the same way as it did when you had RAID 5's etc.I thought that if things were cared out correctly by a SAN Administrator they would know how to configure for optimal performance.
