Hi all
just a quick question for you. has anyone had any problems restoring a SQL7 database to a SQL server 2000?
is there anything special you have to do to get it working?
thanks for your time.

Somebody knows how to restore a database backup from SQL 7 in a Server with SQL 2000 Installed?
If somebody knows how to do it will save me a lot of work?
Thanks a lot.
Can anyone tell me of an EASY way to migrate a a database from a SQL 7 server to a SQL 2000 server (two different machines)?
Everything that I have found is only for upgrading SQL 7 to SQL 2000 and this isn't what I need.
Two groups in our company merged into one. The first group has a SQL 7 server that the lease is about to expire on and the second group (mine) has a newer SQL 2000 server that we need to move all of the databases to.
I have tried DTS. It failed. I tried backing up the 7 server and restoring to the new server. It failed.
Are there any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve

Is there a way I can load a SQL2000 DB backup onto a SQL 7 server? Thanks.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to replicate a client's environment on my home development machine in order to develop some reports. At the client (SQL 6.5) I did a complete backup to a .dat file. How can I restore from this file into my home (SQL 7) server to create a duplicate database?? I tried restoring from a device, specified the file, but I get an "not a valid tape format ....." error. Help!
View 5 Replies View RelatedSince the database server was removed to a new Windows Advanced Server 2000, I restored a database from the backup file. When I tried to create a new Login under Security, I got the following error message:
Error 15023: User or role 'MyDatabaseLoginName' already exists in current database.
But I checked it and it doesn't exist. I even could not create a system DSN without the Login. Someone told me to create a new one with another name, but I do not want to change the connection string in my ASP files. Does anyone has any idea about it? Thanks in advance.
If I restore a SQL 2000 DB into 2005 it upgrades it for me.
When restoring a DB to a new server/instance of SQL, in SQL 2000 I had to carry out the sp_changedbowner procedure after the restore was complete.
Is the equivalent procedure when restoring a SQL 2000 DB to 2005 to go to the schema for the restored database, find the schema with the name of the SQL 2000 db owner and change the schema owner?
OR alternatively run the following query where mark is the db owner in 2000 and lladmin in the new user in 2005 ;
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON SCHEMA::mark TO lladmin;
GO
Does a script that run with sql7 automatically run with sql2000?
I would like to know if my script will run if I change version.
Does anyone know of any reasons(or implications) why sql7 and sql2000 databases SHOULD NOT be on the same box???
Please advise.
Thanks-
Can anyone point me to a white paper/discussion on the issues of gaining access to SQL2000 data from a SQL7 installation? I'm about to upgrade servers from 7 to 2000, but a few of the servers exchange data bi-directionally and the upgrade to both servers at the same time would be problematic; thus the need at some point to get at the SQL2000 data from the SQL7 server.
Thanks,

Hi folks,
I'm currently on a project that'll move all my SQL7 databases into SQL2000. This is from a SQL7 production box to a new Windows2k SQL2000 box. I'm confused as to the proper way of moving all the objects over. What should i do? Any information. Thank You!
Is it possible to administer both SQL7 & SQL2000 databases from the same console ?? It's fine administering SQL 6.5 & SQL7, as 6.5 had no MMC, but it seems that SQL7 & SQL2000 have the same MMC.
Thanks,
Jazz.
Hi there,
I need to create a copy of a SQL 2000 database in another server which has SQL 7.0 installed. When I do a backup and restore, it gives me the following error :
Server: Msg 3154, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'inventmast' database.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
It seems to be like a downward compatability issue. Is there any other way to restore a sql2000 db onto sql 7 ??
Thanks

I'm upgrading a set of databases from SQL7 on one server (A) to SQL2000 on another server (B). I'd like input on the best method for moving the databases over (BCP, restore from BAK, etc), and in particular on moving the list of valid users (with default databases, permissions to databases, etc) and the DTS packages and Agent jobs.
When moving the databases, which are currently in code page 850, I might want to have them convert to the standard Latin-1 of SQL2000, though this isn't critical.
TIA,
Al
I have table with about 2 million rows. Everyday about 18000 rows are inserted. The table contain events for site security system so archiving is neccessary. I would appreicate any help or ideas. Thanks in advance.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a SQL Server 2000 box running two databases which was upgraded in error from SQL7.0 Basically we are no longer being given support as SQL2000 is not supported by the suppliers.
I therefore need to downgrade the box to SQL7.0 and was wondering if anyone had any opinions on the best method for doing this. Note that I do have a spare server to host the databases while I rebuild this server ( I am having to do a complete rebuild from scratch for other reasons ).
My thought is to transfer the databases to the spare server, rebuild the first box to SQL 7.0 and then perform a snapshot replication to transfer the data back.
Any thoughts on this would be gratefully received.
I have a backup of a SQL7 DB that i need to restore into SQL 2000. I only have the backup of the DB , i don't have access to the SQL7 server. When ever I try to restore the DB into SQL2000 nothing works, the tables and properties all restore properly and the data is there but i can't retrieve info from it. I'm trying to move a website DB from SQL7 to SQL 2000 for use with Cold Fusion. I know they're is issues with going from 7 to 2000 but i don't know what they are. If anyone could help me with this i would greatly appreciate it. I know I need to do some special steps or changes before it will work in 2000, does anyone know what these are?
Thanks in advance,

Hi, guys - looking for a bit of help/advice on moving a database fromSQL 7 to SQL 2000.We've a third party application which currently uses a SQL7 database.This database has a number of views which are owned by userINFORMATION_SCHEMA and are set as system tables. This user doesn'tactually have a login on the SQL server.We've tried the following to recreate the database on SQL2000, butwhatever we try, the views owned by INFORMATION_SCHEMA won't copy overfrom SQL7:(1) We tried the "Copy Database" wizard in SQL2000, but were gettingerrors when trying to actually copy the database (other steps workedfine).(2) We tried a restore to SQL2000 from our Legato Networker backup ofthe SQL7 database, but the views didn't come across.(3) We tried a backup from SQL7 and restore to SQL2000, but got themessage that the backup file contained a database other than the onewe wanted (it didn't - we checked the backup file several times byrestoring it to another SQL7 server).(4) We tried to import/export data from SQL7 to SQL2000, but the viewsowned by INFORMATION_SCHEMA weren't showing to add to the list ofobjects to take across.(5) We created the INFORMATION_SCHEMA login on SQL2000, and tried allrestores again, but still the views wouldn't go across.(6) We generated the SQL for all views in SQL7 and ran these onSQL2000, setting the owner to INFORMATION_SCHEMA, but wasn't surewhere to set the type to "system" (as opposed to "user).We're having problems running the third party application with aconnection to SQL2000, and want to rule out the lack of views, or viewownership, as the problem. Our third party vendor isn't coming upwith any solution in a hurry. Can anyone think of any reason why theviews are coming across when the database is restored to SQL2000?Thanks for your help.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have setup SQL2000 Personal edition on my notebook.
I cannot connect to an existing SQL7 server on the network anymore. I
used to run SQL7 Desktop edition which ran just fine.
I also noticed that when I start my machine it take about 2 minutes
until the SQL service is started.
Any ideas why this is not working anymore?

How to restore a database dump file (.BAK) that backed up from SQL2000 server to a SQL 7.0 server?Please help.Saiyou
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm attemting to replicate from a SQL7 box to SQL2000.
The snapshot works fine, but it fails when it tries to push the subscription to the SQL2000 box with a trust error (I don't recall the exact message). I noticed that it fails when Enterprise Mgr is configured as: "Tools/Replication/Configure Publishing, Subscribers and Distribution", Subscriber Tab, "Impersonating SQL Service Agent". It works if I change to "SA".
This is only the case when we replicate from SQL7 to SQL2K. SQL7 to SQL7 works fine with "Impersonating". Has anybody seen this behavior? Any workarounds, other than using SA?

The following query runs fine on sql 7.0 but it kind of hangs/keeps running without any output on sql server 2000
---------------------
Set @cmd = 'Update ABCD Set
'+@day+'_LB = IsNull(LB,0),
'+@day+'_UT = IsNull(UNIT,0)
From tempData as T
Where T.STORE_NUM = ABCD.STORE_NUM And T.ITM_ID = ABCD.UPC'
execute (@cmd)
------------------------------------
But if we hard code the @day parameter and run the query like this it runs very fast on sql 2000....
Update ABCD Set THIRD_LB = IsNull(LB,0),
THIRD_UT = IsNull(UNIT,0)
From tempData as T
Where T.STORE_NUM = ABCD.STORE_NUM And T.ITM_ID = ABCD.UPC

Can we restore a SQL 2k Backup in SQL Server 7.0 database?
Will there be any issues on it?
Once a week a query is run against my SQL7 database. One month has passed and a backup of the database was restored. The database was restored as a seperate database from the active one.
The very same query was run against the backup, the results of the query were drastically different. What is worse the very same pattern that developed in the restored backup now seems to be affecting the active database.
Would restoring a database cause this sort of issue?

Is it possible to restore SQL2000 backup to SQL2005? Or I have to restore the DB to SQL2000 and then upgrade it to SQL2005?
Can someone provide me ways to upgrade SQL2000 DB to SQL2005?

I am restoring a backup from SQL2000 Database to 2005 and I get this error :
An exception occured while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch
(Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
Additional Information: Too many backup devices specified fro backup or restore; only 64 are allowed.
RESTORE HEADEEONLY is terminationg abnormally. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error 3205)
How do fix this? Please assist.
Thanx
Hey all,
Just went through migrating to SQL 2005 as well and we have a need to apply log shipping between SQL 2000 and SQL 2005. Well not shipping per say in the automated fashion that SQL 2005 offers but rather we need to apply SQL 2000 transaction logs to a SQL 2005 instance. Though the database is still in SQL 2000 version 80 and the secondary database needs to be available in read only. (STANDBY MODE)
When I attempt to restore either a FULL backup or transaction log I get the error:
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. This backup cannot be restored using WITH STANDBY because a database upgrade is needed. Reissue the RESTORE without WITH STANDBY
The only way I could restore the FULL was by using the WITH RECOVERY OR NORECOVERY option during the restore process. The issue with this is I need the database in standby by mode in order to continue to append transaction logs.
Anybody have any thoughts how I might be able to get around this?
Thanks
Eric
I did a full backup of a db from one server(Express2005) and trying to restore it to a different instance of SQL2005 on the same development machine. (Also had some fulltext columns if that means anything)
Many failures but finally got it to report all was successful except the icon in Object Explorer shows (Restoring...) with no indication of any real activity going on. It's a tiny database with hardly any data in it.
Just not sure what the heck is going on there. It also won't let me into the database until this the (Restoring...) goes away.
Any advice on how to get this thing finished out?
We replicate a SQL2000 database (DataBaseA) to a SQL2000 database (DataBaseB) by using the Restore function and hasn't change its logical name but only the physical data path and file name. It is running fine for a year. We use the same way to migrate the DataBaseB to a new SQL2005 server with the Restore function and the daily operation is running perfect. However, when we do the Backup of DatabaseB in the SQL2005, it just prompt the error message
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup of full-text catalog 'DataBaseA' is not permitted because it is not online. Check errorlog file for the reason that full-text catalog became offline and bring it online. Or BACKUP can be performed by using the FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online data. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Please note we left the DataBaseA in the old SQL2000 server.
Please help on how we can delete the Full-text catalog from DatabaseB so we can do a backup
Many Thanks
