Hi!
I got a project of moving a web site of one a firm from one ISP machine to another ISP
machine. They are using Cold Fusion with SQL Server as the database. I am new to SQL Server.
I want some tips on how to migrate the database from one machine to another.
Any little help will be appreciated.
I will be waiting for suggestions.

I am migrating MS SQL Server 6.5 databases to a new server and wanted to create the data & log devices differently than they are on the old box. My dbcc checks are giving me 2558 errors because my devices weren't built the same size in the same order. I thought if I didn't copy the master, I didn't have to rebuild the database exactly the same. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to rebuild different device sizes and do a successful restore ? Thanks in advance !

If I plan to use to restore database option, should I restore all user database first, then the system databases(master, msdb) or should I restore the system database first and the user databases second??
Thanks.

i am migrating data and schema from oracle server to sql server., when i try to do the dts it gives me an error saying could not resolve tnsnames.ora. iam not sure what is the problem.
My oracle server host is dbserver.hari.com.edu
and its name is Prod (name of the machine)
i tried both it still gives me the same error., but when i install an oracle client on the machine and configure the same it is working great.
My question is, is it necessary to install oracle client to migrate database from oracle to sql server. If not how do i do the same...what is the process to do it. since this is a prodction machine we don't want more of applications running on the same machine.
Your help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

I just wanted to know what the easiest way would be to migrate a SQL Server 2012 database to Oracle?
Apart from the tables and views, the database also uses a number of stored procedures and functions which will also need to be migrated over onto Oracle.
I guess the problem with generating scripts for the database (right clicking database > tasks > generate scripts) is that the TSQL scripts will not run in Oracle which uses PSQL? Is this correct?
I have also considered using the import/export wizard. Do I need to install a feature to use this to export to Oracle?
Hi all,

When I try to migrate a database on a SQL Server 2000 server to a SQL Server 2005 server with the Copy Database Wizard of the SQL Server Management Studio, I'm confronted with the following problem;
Performing operation...
- Add log for package (Success)
- Add task for transferring database objects (Success)
- Create package (Success)
- Start SQL Server Agent Job (Success)
- Execute SQL Server Agent Job (Error)
Messages
* The job failed. Check the event log on the destination server for details. (Copy Database Wizard)
When I take a look at 'Event viewer' on the SQL 2005 server, the following error is displayed;
InnerException-->An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.
When connecting to SQL Server 2005,
this failure may be caused by the fact
that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
(provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
I already enabled the MSSQLSERVER network configuration protocols (TCP/IP and Named Pipes ).
How do I solve this problem?
I am migrating a database TESTDB from SQL 2008R2 to a new server running SQL Server 2012.
Management has decided the current sql users should have "better" user names. So the login and username "BadUsername" on the old server should be called "GoodUserName". Goodusername should have the same permissions as Badusername.
I have now restored a backup from the old server to the new server.
I used the following script for creating the login:
CREATE LOGIN [GoodUserName] WITH PASSWORD=N'difficultpassword', DEFAULT_DATABASE=[master], DEFAULT_LANGUAGE=[us_english], CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF, CHECK_POLICY=OFF
GO
Then I run the following script:
ALTER USER Badusername WITH LOGIN = GoodUserName, NAME = GoodUserName
But the results are not what I wanted. I now have two database users: Badusername and GoodUserName. I would have preferred if BadUserName was "replaced" by GoodUserName, but it won't be a problem if I have to delete badusername manually. Worser is that GoodUserName have NOT "inherited" any permissions from Badusername.
Is there an easy way to transfer permissions or do I need to loop through the permissions of badusername and apply those to badusername?
I want to migrate my Access XP database to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. The Start Menu does not display any migration assistant in SQL Server 2005 Express menu list.

i am migrating one database from SQL Server 2008 where I have around 20 databases to SQLServer 2012. To migrate the login I was thinking about to use SP_Help <g class="gr_ gr_114 gr-alert gr_spell ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" data-gr-id="114" id="114">revlogin</g> store procedure but now what I believe is this SP scripts out whole server level login and I don't need all the logins in the server except related to the database that I am migrating to.

best way to migrate logins only related to the specific database to the new server.
Hi there
I am new to SQL Server, but the current project that I am working on has the following requirement:-
1) Migrate the application (a servlet based web application on Apache Tomcat) from Solaris to Wintel
2) Migrate the supporting database from SQL Server 2000 to Sql Server 2005
3) Get IIS to communicate with Tomcat for serving servlet/jsp etc to the client
Though I successfully completed item 1 above, am stuck at item 2. Details are below
Actions taken for item 2
A. Installed MS 2005
B. Created new database in MS 2005 (logged in as user 'sa')
C. Generated SQL scripts (such as create table table_A etc) from existing MS 2000
D. Genearted SQL scripts (such as insert into table_A etc) from existing MS 2000
E. Created new schema in MS 2005
F. Ran scripts C & D in the new schema. All tables are records populated.
G. Obtained new JDBC driver and test run to see if connection is working fine, and it worked. Even ran an sql statment
Code Block[select count(*) from sa.table_A]
and got appropriate response.
H. When I made the application to talk to this new database (which is a copy of Production from step C, D above), it's behaving as though it cannot find the record.
I. When I further debugged, I realised that the web application is excuting queries without mentioning the schema. For eg.
Code Block[Select firstName, lastName from table_A]
Or rather it assumes that the user connecting to database is same as the schema name.
J. To further ascertain my point, I ran the query
Code Block[Select firstName, lastName from sa.table_A]
and it worked!
Now the real problem is that I cannot modify the existing code to append a schema name and this approach is rather not recommended best practise.
I tried to match the user name with the schema name, even made this schema as default to the user. But still not finding any luck.
I request all you experts out there to help me out with this problem.

Hi, I have an application developed using VWD and sqlserver express database. The express database is turning out to be small in size and we need to migrate to larger sqlserver 2005 database. What are the steps for this migration, please list in detail.
Regards, Sandy
I have a medical records system, SoapWare v4.90, that uses MSDE (SQL2000) databases. Due to the 2gb limitation, I am trying to migrate over to SQL 2005 (Standard or Express) which I have heard works fine. The SoapWare has a datamanager that allows me to log in to the MSDE instance, detach the SoapWare databases from msde (as well as do backups, etc) which I can confirm are detached.
Then I log back into a SQL2005 database instance using the datamanager and try to attach the database. This is what their pictured instructions demonstrate. However, I get the following error:
Database 'sw_charts' cannot be upgraded because it is read-only or has read-only files. Make the database or files writeable, and rerun recovery.
Of course, some of the entries will be read only, since doctors have to sign off the charts and are not allowed to subsequently change them. But I should still be able to switch over to sql 2005?!?!?!?
Or... is there a way to attach the databases to SQLExpress manually?
Help pls?
Can anyone tell me how I can migrate database from one server to another I need to migrate all the tables, stored procedures, functions and so on thank you

I have restored a database that was held on the SQL Server 2000 onto SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
All the stored procedures have been restored as well but when I try to modify it and then save it, it will save it as '.sql' in a folder that I can choose but how wld that wrk? Can't I save it as a stored procedure like on SQL Server 2000?
I'm new to SQL Server 2005 so any response will be highly appreciated.
Many thanks

I'm looking for advice/caveats about how to convert/export information on AS database / cube roles. The reason why is because we have to move the server into different windows domain and all the roles reference windows accounts in the old domain. Using the MS SQL 2000 version.
Thanks in advance.

We often have to migrate changes to sql server 2000 databases fromdevelopment to production. Normally we dump the sql from Enterprise Managerfor production and development and do a diff (using CSDiff - downloadable forfree).From the diff information we create some scripts to add new tables or alterexisting tables as required. This is time consuming and error-prone.I am now trying the following:1. Backup up the Development database2. Delete the Development database3. Restore the Development database as Development_Backup3. Use the the sql script to create the new Development databasestructure from scratch4. Use Data Transformation Services to migrate the data fromDevelopment_BackupThe problem is that many of the 'sys' tables are empty. For example table'sysforeignkeys' is empty.Is there an easy way to rebuild the data in the 'sys' tables?Thanks

Hi,
Currently we have SQL server 2000 database for past 3 to 4 years. Now planning to move SQL Server 2005. The SQL 2000 database will be restored to 2005 server.
My questions are,
1. The SQL 2000 queries, Stored proc and views will work with SQL server 2005 without any changes?
2. Do the SQL server 2005 have backward compatability with SQL Server 2000 or we need to convert any specific SQL script after converting to 2005.
3. Is there any issues after conversion?
Please help me in this area.
Thanks in Advance!
Thanks,

I tried various ways to migrate an access 2003 database with 1 table to
sql Express 2005 Edition without success, I can only find the resulted
sql database in Sql Server Express Edition 2005 without data.
Please advise if any help.
I'm trying to get a database from SQL2005 to SQL2000. I already recreated the database in SQL2005 and I'm just trying to get some data from just a few tables.
It doesn't appear the DTS or any export functionality is available in my version of SQL Express 2005...so how do I do this. I've tried installing everything I can find.
I've also tried BCP but I keep getting these errors:
SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 53
Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [53].
SQLState = HYT00, NativeError = 0
Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Login timeout expired
SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 53
Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
This is a LOCAL database and I have tried -T for trusted, I have also tried a username and password combination. The database is set to Allow Remote connections. Nothing is working.
I've developed a website and it's hosted by a hosting company. Lately i've registered a new domain with a new virtual hosting account. I've transfered my web files succesfully. But migrating the sql server failed for a couple of times now. My database containes many tables with many products. My hosting provides doesn't give me the opportuniy to restore my backup which i've backuped from my old server. First I tried to use the import and export tool of sql server 2005. This was very easy and it succeeded. But this tool only migrates the tables and the views. All the common stored procedures of asp.net membership are not exported. So I can't login at the moment. I've tried to generate a sql script with all the stored procedures with sql server management studio. But If i want to run this script on my new db, it fails with various errors. I tried to use the aspnet_regsql tool to create all the membership tables and stored procedures. If this succeeds, I can import and export my old db to the new one. But i'm getting a error while trying to use the aspnet_regsql tool. The error number is 290 and the error is: How can I fix this? Er is een fout opgetreden bij het uitvoeren van het SQL-bestand InstallMembership.sql.

We are planning migrating to different server.
I know the answers how to migrate all jobs and DTS packages.
But the only question I have is "How to migrate logins and passwords?"
What is the best way to transfer logins?
Can't you just export syslogins table into text file and then import it into the new server?
Thank you

We use MS Access 2000 as our database, but run into lots of proplems. So we decided to research the migration to SQL Server.
I used Access Upsizing utitlity to migrate tables and their data to SQL server very easily, and all the relationships, indecies and other information are converted correctly.
Next is to migrate the queries. I found that to be a pain. Is there any tool out there that can do it for me? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Once that's done, then it's the application itself, but I am not worrying that for now.
Thanks, guys
I have another question regarding migration process to diffrent SQL Server.
Last time when I did migration I didn't restore system databases (master in particular).
I only restored user databases and of course I've got login errors such
Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000) Error 15023: User or role '%s' already exists in the current database.
I just used sp_change_users_login to fix those orphans.
I've read articles in MS knowledge base and not quite sure is this a good idea to restore master database prior to restoring all user databases on the new server in order to keep all logins?
I'll try to use recommended article for transfering logins with password instead of restoring master database from backup
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q246/1/33.ASP
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you
I have a program that uses ADO to read/write to/from an Oracle back-end database. I'm hoping that given the underlying schema is the same, I can simply change the database driver I'm using and use a SQL Server database instead. Has anyone migrated an application using ADO from Oracle to SQL ? Are there any issues/problems/tips that I should be aware of ?
Thanks in advance..
