Hello, what is the easiest way to move a DB (tables and data) from SQL server 2000 to 2005.
Ive been trying to export the DB tables from 2000 using Excel, yet i get "cannot expand named range" errors on several of the tables.
Is excel the way to go? another way? Can i use backup/restore?
Note: also moving from one machine to another.
Thanks for any help.
I am reciving a new powerful database server
My old database server runs SQL 2000 and has the CRM 3.0 app and database, our corporate web site (SharePoint Services 3.0) database, and Project Server 2007 database. The corporate site and project apps and web sites reside on our file server.
I want to move, upgrade or migrate the databases, corporate site and Project site to this new SQL 2005 server. I am a little unsure the best way to do this.
Should I move all the database first, then move the apps?
Should I do a restore of everything on the new server, and after I know it works just turn off the other server?
Am I missing a better way?
Anyone have any insight, let me know.
Thanks,
Ken
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.

What is the best way to move users from a 2000 sql server to a 2005 server? I have a bunch of issues with the passwords etc...
thanks for your time.
Hi ,
I am working on a DWH project, and we decided few days ago to move from 2000 to 2005.
we installed the 2005 on the same server with two different instances for testing the 2005.
I migrate everything with the indexes but the issue is that queries at the 2005 take much more time than the same query on the 2000.
for example i have a nasty qry which join 14 tables. at the 2000 its take around 2.5 - 3 mins and at the 2005 its infinity , they both have the same indexes.
PLS ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHATS THE PROBLEM ?
We need to upgrade our HR system from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. Support for SQL 2000 ends 12/31/2007.
We have a third party vender that do not currently support SQL 2005. Employee's data is transfered from our HR database to the third party database for the purpose of yearly performance evaluation on a daily basis.
Both databases are currenlty on a SQL 2000 server.
Can data be transferred from a SQL 2005 database to a SQL 2000 database?
I have been tasked with upgrading around 150 SQL Server 2000 DTS packages to SSIS in SQL Server 2005 standard edition. I made a backup of the 2000 database upon which the DTS packages operate and restored it to the SQL 2005 server. So far, so good. I have the database in place. Now I need to get the DTS packages themselves into the SLQ 2005 server. I think I need to check my install and make sure that I have the SQL Server 2000 DTS services installed on the SQL 2005 server. I can do that.
However, I wonder what would be the most effective way to physically get the packages from the SQL 2000 server to the SQL 2005 server. Should I use structured storage files? If so, how do I go about opening them in SQL 2005 in order to save them to SQL server 2005?
I should mention that these packages make heavy use of ActiveX scripting so I am looking at rewriting them from scratch to be SSIS packages. I just need the packages on the SQL Server 2005 box so I can make sure I am creating exactly the same functionality in 2005 as existed in SQL server 2000. Each DTS 2000 individual package tends to be fairly simple and I think I can greatly improve the process by consolidating them.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I am trying to move a database which I wrote in SQL Server 2005 to a SQL Server 2000 database.
I'm not sure the best way to do this.......
Can anyone enlighten me?.....
I have moved few databases in 2000 to a different server which run's on sql server 2005 and its not a instance ogf 2000.
I backed up databases in 2000 moved those files to other server and then restored them.
I had solved the problem of orphand users by deleting and adding again.
Now when i try to setup maintenance plan i have the following error after walking through the wizard
TITLE: Maintenance Plan Wizard Progress
------------------------------
Adding tasks to the maintenance plan failed.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.MaintenancePlanWizard)
------------------------------
BUTTONS:

what do i need to fix this????Any help is appreciated...
And what else do i need to make sure everything in 2005 are working fine apart from orphand user.
Please let me know
Thanks in advance
I have a number of triggers that call a stored procedure that returns a cursor. The triggers then use the results of this cursor to do other actions.
My problem is that this works fine in SQL2000 but just won't work in SQL2005. When I try to access the results of the returned cursor, I get an error -2147217900 could not complete cursor operation because the set options have changed since the cursor was declared.
If I port the code contained in the sp into the trigger, it runs fine. But having to port over the sp's code defeats the whole concept of being able to re-use the sp.
Does anybody have any ideas of what could be going on?
I look forward to a quick response.

Apparently you cannot go backwards. Once 2005 Express is installed, even removing it does not allow you to setup MSDE 2000 again. So there is no "trying it out" option.
Unfortunately, our software does not use 2005 Express. I tried it out, and now have a useless testing workstation that can't have MSDE 2000 installed again.
Any ideas on how to break the chain here are welcome.
I have moved my databases to 2000 to instance of 2005 on the same server.
Now i set databases offline in 2000 as i did upgrade use backup & recovery method.
& my connection string
Password=test;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=test;Initial Catalog=databasename;Data Source=ipaddress
i was using above connection string to connect when using 2000 databases form applications in the production machine
I get the following error when i am running my applications now after moving to 2005
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)
IS it because i have two server on one server or
What do i need to do in order to fix this....tried several thing by searching nothing worked out..
Let me know
thanks

I am moving my SQL 2000 Server from a Small Business Server to a full version of Windows 2000 Server and SQL 2000 Server. I have had no experience doing this but have backed up and restored my production databases for practice in case a of disaster situation. Is there anything special I need to do to move everything, including the system databases to a new server and not loose any of the user logons, etc.?

Hi there everyone, I have written a database system which tracks the performance of working in a shipping company in access. Im now rewriting the system in sqlserver and the only real problem I have found so far is that its difficult to estimate what kind of a server *cpu* & *ram* would be appropraite. The system currently performs transaction on my desktop machine in a second a quickest and 2 at slowest.
There are going to be about 500 users in 3 time zones so there will only really be about 300 max hitting the system in an hour.
I was looking at a Dell Poweredge server with twin P3's and half a Gb or ram would this be a good place to start from?
Any Advice would be great!!!

I have developed an Access 97 database that I would like to distribute to anumber of staff, but they do not have Access. At the same time I amconsidering upgrading to SBS 2003 premium edition which comes with SQLServer 2000.1. If we were to upgrade would it be a very difficult job to recreate thedatabase in SQL Server 2000, as in does it have wizards, macros etc.?2. Would the staff be able to use and share the new database from the serveror would they also require additional software on their desktops?3. Is there any way of distributing the Access 97 database with some sort of"run-time" licence - it was not developed using a developers edition?This has been posted to both comp.databases.ms-access andcomp.databases.ms-sqlserverYour advice would be appreciated.RegardsJohn McC

SQL Users/DBAs,I'm trying to move data files around for a database that is in standbymode. I can detach/attach the database fine usingSP_DETACH_DB/SP_ATTACH_DB , but when I re-attach the database the logsequence is broken and I can't restore any more logs. Does anyoneknow if there is a way to move around data files and keep the databasein standby mode?Thanks,JB
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi, i was after some advice on moving a SQL Server 2000 database from one server to another.
Usually i would do this by backing up the database on the original server the copying it accross the LAN to the new server and restoring it there. This database is 10Gb in size and copying it accross the LAN will take some time and i would like to minimise downtime if possible. The database is at a customer site where i am not responsible for the network or Hardware.
Thanks in advance for your help

Hello Everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I am setting up a new testing and development machine. My previous machine had VS 2003 and SQL Server 2000 installed on it. The new machine is going to be VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Standard. I have approximately 12 databases on the old machine in SQL 2000 that I want to bring over onto the new machine and convert to 2005. What is the best way to go aobut this. I'm sure I'm not the first to do this, but I'm having trouble finding documentation on this topic. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

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.

Hi All,
I'm new to SQL server. Basically, I am trying to make my Access database accessible on line to my users, so I am transfering it into SQL Server and then writing a web site to use the connection to the database.
My questions are as follows:
1) How can I easily move the structure of the tables (relationships too, but content is not important) from Access into SQL?
2) I have the following query in Access which I don't believe will work in SQL because of the Sum funtion... How can I change this to work in SQL?:
SELECT DISTINCTROW Player.TeamID, Player.PlayerID, Player.SFD, Sum(Payments.Amount) AS Payment, [SFD]-[Payment] AS Due
FROM Player INNER JOIN Payments ON Player.PlayerID = Payments.PlayerID
GROUP BY Player.TeamID, Player.PlayerID, Player.SFD;
All help will be greatfully received... thanks

Hi
I am wishing to
* take a table of data into a C# CLR procedure and store it in an array
* take a second table of data into this procedure row by row, and return a row (into a third table) for each row (and this returned row is based on the data in the array and the data in this row).
I am new to CLR programming, and pulling my hair out at the moment. Im sure that what Im trying to do is simple, but I am not making any progress with the on-line help and error messages L. I have now described what I am trying to do in more detail, firstly in English, and then in a T-SQL implementation that works (for this simple example). Im looking for the C# CLR code to be returned containing preferably two parts:
* the C# code and
* the CLR code to make it live
Since I am not sure where my coding is going wrong. (I think it should be possible to read in the one table, and then loop through thte second table, calculating and returning the necessary output as you do the calculations...
Problem in English
Consider a situation where there are three tables: DATATABLE, PARAMETERTABLE and RESULTSTABLE.
For each row in PARAMETERTABLE, I will calculate a row for RESULTSTABLE based on calculations involving all the entries form DATATABLE.
I am wishing to do this in a C# CLR for performance reasons, and because the functions I will be using will be significantly more complex, and recursively built up.
Consider the following table structures
DATATABLE [i int, datavalue real]
[1,12.5]
[2.10]
[3.14]
[4,17.5]
(where numberofrows is 4)
PARAMETERTABLE [parametera real, paramaterb real]
[10,2]
[11.7,1.1]
RESULTSTABLE [resultvalue real]
[20.5]
[18.26]
The values of the results table are calculated as the
sum (for i = 1 to numberofrows)
of
(Parameter1+i*parameterb-datavalue)^2
Which leads to the values shown.
T-SQL Implementation
-- Set up database and tables to use in example
USE master
GO
CREATE DATABASE QuestionDatabase
GO
sp_configure 'clr enabled', 1
GO
USE QuestionDatabase
GO
RECONFIGURE
GO
CREATE TABLE DataTable (i INT NOT NULL, DataValue REAL NOT NULL)
GO
CREATE TABLE ParameterTable (ParameterNumber INT NOT NULL, ParameterA REAL NOT NULL, ParameterB REAL NOT NULL)
GO
CREATE TABLE ResultsTable (ParameterNumber INT NOT NULL, ResultsValue REAL NOT NULL)
GO
--Initialise the Tables
INSERT INTO DataTable (i, DataValue) VALUES (1,12.5)
INSERT INTO DataTable (i, DataValue) VALUES (2,10)
INSERT INTO DataTable (i, DataValue) VALUES (3,14)
INSERT INTO DataTable (i, DataValue) VALUES (4,17.5)
INSERT INTO ParameterTable (ParameterNumber, ParameterA, ParameterB) VALUES (1, 10, 2)
INSERT INTO ParameterTable (ParameterNumber, ParameterA, ParameterB) VALUES (2, 11.7, 1.1)
-- The TSQL to be rewritten in C#, to produce the Output as hoped
INSERT INTO ResultsTable (ParameterNumber, ResultsValue)
SELECT ParameterNumber, SUM((parametera+i*parameterb-datavalue)*(parametera+i*parameterb-datavalue)) AS b
FROM DataTable
CROSS JOIN
ParameterTable
GROUP BY ParameterNumber
-- Output as hoped
SELECT * FROM DataTable
SELECT * FROM ParameterTable
SELECT * FROM ResultsTable
-- which produced
1 12.5
2 10
3 14
4 17.5
1 10 2
2 11.7 1.1
1 20.5
2 18.26
-- but I hope to do the same with something like:
CREATE ASSEMBLY *** FROM 'C:***.dll'
CREATE PROCEDURE GenerateResultsInCLR(@i int, @r1 real, @r2 real)
RETURNS TABLE (i int, r real)
EXTERNAL NAME ***.***.***
EXEC GenerateResultsInCLR
This is a simple example, that can be easily written in T-SQL. I am looking to develop things that are recursive in nature, which makes them unsuited to T-SQL, unless one is using cursors, but this becomes very slow when the parameter table has 1m records, and the data table 100k records. This is why the datatable must be read in once, and manipulated many times, and the manipulation will need to be in the form of a loop.
Thanks very much for your help.
Go well

Hi All,
We have a Progress DB in our Company. We are trying to move all the data to SQL Server 2005. When I try to run the Import Data task from SQL Server 2005 the radio button called "Copy data from one or more tables or views" is getting disabled and it is asking me to write a SQL script to copy all data from 120 tables.
I am using a .NET Framework Data Provider for ODBC when I run the Import Data task from SQL Server 2005.
I am using the DataDirect 4.1 32-Bit Progress SQL92 v9.1D ODBC Driver to connect to Progress DB. I am getting a connection but the copy feature is getting disabled.
Can anyone please help me to resolve this issue, or even if you provide me with some pointers that will be really helpful.
Thanks

Hi All, first post.
I have done a bit of searching around and cant find a clear answer to this question.
Current Setup
Desktop application (c#) that connects to a SQL Server 2005 express database on the same local network as the application (currently 3 users)
It is only a very small company and has just taken on their first remote worker, but expects to take on another 6-8 over the next few months. They have asked for the database to be moved online.
The application was written in such a way that everything has been done using no stored procs, or views, it is all native SQL.
This will be my first DB hosted online and before I go ahead and do anything I just wanted to make sure what I have to do is correct, sorry if this is a very basic question, although I have been programming for a long time, I have never had the chance to do any online databases before.
Will this work.
1.Find a SQL Server 2005 Hosting company.
2.Move the database to the server.
3.Setup the users permissions.
3.Alter the connection string in the application to point to the new location.
So the only thing that would change would be a new connection string in the application preferences?
Or am I living in a dream world, because nothing is ever that simple.
One thing I am worried about is the security/visiblity of the database and data as it travels from the server to the client and back.
Thanks for any advise you can give.

I am trying to load data from an Excel spreadsheet file into SQL Server 2005 Express. I understand that DTS is the best tool for doing this but from my research it appears that DTS is not available with the Express edition and the import wizard that does come with Express is not well suited for this type of conversion.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to achieve this objective? Thanks for any help you can provide.
I have been programming an application with VC++ 2005 and SQL Server 2005. I have converted an old 16-bit database to 32-bit managed code and SQL server and the application seems to be good. Now I want to deploy the application to another server for testing.
I have installed XP SP2, Windows Installer 3.1, Net framework 2.0 and SQL Server 2005 express to the test server. I have transferred the application with WI 3.1 and the program works well in the test server till the first SQL command. I have made a back up of the database and restored it in the test server. In the test server I can log in the database with Server Management studio and I can read the data there correctly. I have enabled both named pipes and TCP/IP for the database in the test server. With Surface Area Configuration I have enabled Local and Remote Connections Using both TCP/IP and named pipes. I only need Windows authentication at this time.
After all this when I come to the first SQL command in the application on the test server I receive the error message:
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).
My connection string to the database is:
'connection->ConnectionString = "Persist Security Info=False; Integrated Security =SSPI;"
"Data Source=TESTSERVER; Initial Catalog=TESTDATABASE;";'
When I use "Data Source=DevelopmentServer", the application works well on the development server.
Can't understand what is still wrong. Can you possibly have an answer for me?
Problem: Moving data from mysql to sql server 2005
I am trying to pull data over from mysql to sql server. First the import wizard greys out so I have to put in 1 query at a time which is pain. and second it does not even work! it takes me through the end of the wizard for me to click finish and then says oops it does not work. there was an error!
Anyway i tried going through the ssis route cuz its going to be a nightly job. i used the ado.net odbc connection. It worked but the performance is really not acceptable. it took 5 mins to import 24000 rows where as dts was taking 1 sec to do this. i wish i could use the native mysql odbc 3.51 connector and import. can some one give me step by step instructions on how to do that ?
I hear someone mentioned of using excute sql task which can use mysql odbc 3.51 driver. but since i am new how do i get it to work. say for example in the excute sql task i run a statement like select * from addr. then what?
cuz eventually i want the result to be saved in a sql server table called addr. How can i get the result from that excute sql task and put it inside of an addr table in sql server. should i save the result to a variable of type object. but then how do i get the data from object and tell sql server in the designer that the result contains these columns and it needs to map to these columns in the addr table of sql server.
Very confused. i wish the first option would have given me results which an enterprise ETL gives. but apparently it is too slow that it wont be acceptable in a production envrioment. when i will have millions of rows coming in .
Please anyone can help me in this.
Thanks for the help!
