Sep 4, 2006
Hello,
I tried to restore a database which I backuped from MS SQL 2000 to SQL Express 2005 but it always failed with the following error message. What could be the problem?
Restore failed for Server 'SERVSQLEXPRESS'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)
Additional information
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'gtp' database.
As I said in the subject I've a problem trying to restore a backup of a previous db created in sql 2000 server
When I try to do it I recive the following message:
____________________________________________________________________________________ System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Il set di backup include il backup di un database diverso dal database 'musica2007' esistente. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)

Hello,If I backup and restore an express database to sql server 2005 standard, will there still be limitations in regards to the database size, cpu...etc.? Thanks,Jon
I'm a beginner w ith SQL Express and am having some problems. I am using 2005 SP1 and installed the SQL Server Management Studio Express as well. I have a backup from a SQL Server 7.0 database that I am trying to restore into my database using the management studio. When I try to restore from the file into my database, I get the error,
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup of the system database on the device D:GMBeta2Local.bak cannot be restored because it was created by a different version of the server (7.00.1063) than this server (9.00.3033). (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)
Is this true? Is there any way for me to get this data into my SQL Server 2005 express on my laptop?
Hey guys We currenlty have SQL Server 2000 installed inhouse for testing. A client has given us a backup of their 2005 database and i'm wondering if the restore will work into 2000, or any issues i should be aware of. Should i just install msde locally on my machine and restore the database? thanks
When I try to restore my SQL Server 2000 backup file to a newly installed copy of SQL Server 2005 Express using Studio Express, I get the following error:
The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'UpperBridge' database. (Microsoft.sqlservfer.Express.smo)
The backup is made from an SQL Server 2000 database called 'UpperBridge'
I am trying to restore to a database called 'UpperBridge' which I created under 'New databases' in Studio Express.
I'm having an issue with stored procedures after restoring a db from 2000 -> 2005.
If any stored procedures isnt owned by dbo (eg tomsqluser.updateItems rather than dbo.updateItems) then it just wont work and Studio Management Server doesnt give the permission to change it to dbo.
hi there, I've got a problem while restoring a DB from sql server 2005 to sql server 2000 I always got an error message 3169. Please I want if it's possible to make it, it urgent.
i'm trying to set up one of the asp.net website starter kits and part of the process is to backup the sql express db and then import it into the sql 2005 at the web hosting account. it's not working and i'm wondering if there's any difference between the backups they make. the sql express makes a file with a .bak extension and the sql 2005 at the host makes a file with a .sqlbak extension. i was assuming that was just a naming thing and not a structural thing but the host's tech support has said: "This sort of thing happens when the database being imported is not properly formatted. You can try downloading and using sql express from microsoft to see if you can do it manually, but most likely you will need to save your database again properly set for import to an mssql server rather than however you did." all i had done was rename the .bak file from express to .sqlbak as that was the choice for backup files. i will note that it also failed importing the .mdf, which works fine locally with the site but i did make some changes to it from the original that came with the starter kit. should a backup file made with sql express (using sql management studio express, by right clicking on the file and choosing tasks > backup) normally be importable by sql 2005? or, i suppose, does it make sense that a db that works fine locally with sql express (within a visual web developer express project anyway) would actually be "formatted" in a way that would cause it to fail to import into sql 2005? thanks much for any assistance.
Hi Guys, I have two servers at my site out of which one is our production server (on SQL 2000) and the other being a reporting server (SQL 2005). Now the question i have are the following..
Q1) Can i restore an hourly differential backup of my SQL 2000 to SQL 2005? Q2) If yes, are there any specific way i need to go about it other than the conventional Restore with NoRecovery option? Q3) If the answer is no to Q1, then is there any 3rd party software that does this(restoring differentials from 2000 to 2005)?
I had tried this once some time back and at that time it failed to keep the database in a state(norecovery) where in it would accept timely differential db restoration.
Hello Everyone, I am trying to restore a bak file which came with code for a tutorial. I think it is safe to restore, but sql server 2005 express has the following problem when I try to restore it.

Hello, Does anyone else ever experience this problem, and if so do you know what causes it: When ever I restore a database called say XXX.mdf, it restores OK and I can view via MSE as XXX.mdf. Then when I visit MSE again there is another database called C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataXXX.mdf - both are linked to the same .mdf file, however if you try to expand XXX.mdf nothing happens as though the database has been detached?

SQL 2005 Express - Database Restore size problem Was this post helpful ?
Hi,
I'm trying to restore a SQL Server DB Backup from a SQL Server DB Server on to my Laptop (SQL 2005 Express)
When I execute a restore filelistonly command on the backup file, It seems that the Database included is 1GB, but the Log file is 91 GB in size, which exceeds my diskspace.
I can restore the Data on its own without the log file, but the the Database stays in "restoring" mode. I've tried to switch the restore flag off (update sys.databases set state = 0 where name = 'G001'), but I can`t seem to be able to do it, even if I try to allow updates via:
sp_configure 'allow updates', 1
GO
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
GO
Any ideas how I can restore the database without restoring the enormous logfile?
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.
I did a backup of a SQL2000 database (named Winstis) using the 2005 management studio. I then created a blank database on my 2005 instance (named Winstis). I then tried to do a database restore to the new 2005 database. I got an error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'Winstis' database. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
I even tried the option to Overwrite Existing database and I got a different error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The operating system returned the error '32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)' while attempting 'RestoreContainer::ValidateTargetForCreation' on 'D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLData est.ldf'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Also the 2005 instance database is on C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataWinstis_Data.mdf
and the 2000 instance is on D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataWinstis_Data.mdf
How can I accomplish getting the database from 2000 to 2005 with all tables, store procedures, and functions?
We are experiencing major performance issues after restoring SQL Server 2000 db into newly setup hardware environment. The application is faster on another environemnt running on Windows 2000 server with SQL Server 2000.
We have replicated exact same hardware setup, but only fifference is we are running latest version windows server (2003) and latest version of SQL Server (2005). So far we have troubleshooted the bottleneck to be one of the trigger that is inserting data into a table in one of the stored procedures. The same SP takes 9 mins to execute whereas on our env it takes around one hour. If I disable the trigger it executes in 2 minutes.
After restoring, we have executed
exec sp_updatestats
DBCC UPDATEUSAGE
DBCC DBREINDEX all tables
Set Compatibility level to SQL SERVER 2005 (90).
Now we are installing latest Service Pack for both OS and SQL Server.
Is it possible to restore a SQL 2000 backup with Binary Order collation to a new SQL 2005 installation with Dictionary order, case-insensitive. Is this something I can do during the restore process or would I need to change it after?
I have backup of data from SQL Server 7.0 and now when i'm trying to restore it into SQL Express 2005, I'm getting following error......
-------------------- Msg 3154, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'GOSLDW' database. Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. --------------------
Here is SQL i'm using to restore database,
RESTORE DATABASE GOSLDW FROM DISK = 'C:sqlserverDataGOSLDW' WITH MOVE 'GOSLDW' TO 'C:sqlserverDataGOSLDW.mdf', MOVE 'GOSLDW' TO 'C:sqlserverDataGOSLDW.ldf' GO
Why i'm getting this error? Am i missing anything here?
Hi all,I'm having a problem restoring backup from 2000 to 2005. The actualrestore process went ok. However, the database user of the restoreddatabase is missing a Login Name. I've made sure that the Login Nameis created in 2005. Also tried deleting the user, but couldn't theuser is db owner. Is there any way that I can assign a Login Name forthis database user or maybe drop this user and assign another one?Regards,Gerd
I have a database that is in the SQL Server 2000 compatability mode on my SQL 2005 server. I am trying to restore a backup of this database on my SQL Server 2000 database on another server and keep getting strange messages. First trying Red-Gate and then plain SQL Server with no luck.
It seems as I remember that the 7.0 and 2000 compatibility issue between backups did not arise when the compatibility mode was set to 7.0.
Is this "planned" behavior or an "undocumented feature"??? Anyone else have success doing this?
I can't find any articles telling me how to restore master,msdb databases on a sql 2000 cluster. Both in a active/active setup and active/passive set up. I am experimenting to see if normal restore in a stand alone environment would work. But I would like to know if there is a definitive method to use. Looked on BOL could not find anything.
Hi All, I have an issue that's stopping me restoring a database on SQL Server Express 2005 running under Windows Vista. I'm installing a system that I've used several times before on other systems and part of the installation procedure is to use the 'restore' function to install a database from a backup file. So I'm essentially restoring but to a db that doesn't yet exist in my SQL Server, this normally goes without a hitch. However on attempting this on a Vista system, I get the following error message -
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The operating system returned the error '5(error not found)' while attempting 'RestoreContainer::ValidateTargetForCreation' on 'c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLiCasework.mdf'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)
where iCasework is the name I've given in the restore dialogue as the DB to restore to (which as I said, doesn't exist at the moment).
Things I've tried so far: - I have a feeling this is down to a permissions problem, so I've tried the following already 1) Running Management Studio Express as Administrator - exact same error message 2) During the initial install, I set up the default admin user to use SQL Server authentication, having read threads about vaguely similar errors I used the Surface Area Config tool to add my windows login as an admin with admin rights and tried connecting to the Server with those credentials then running the restore - exact same error message
and
3) I also tried manually creating an empty db called iCasework and then restoring the external backup into that existing backup, which just gave a different error stating that the backup file didn't match the structure of the existing db. I could create the whole db structure manually but that would entirely negate the purpose of restoring from the backup and, more to the point, has never been necessary on any other system we've done this one.
Has anyone got any ideas that I could try next please?
We have a set of databases some are fully read-only others have read-only file groups, is there any way to restore backups of these taken on an MSDE 2000 to an SQL Express 2005 instance?
When doing the inplace upgrade we change these to read-write before the upgrade and set them back after the upgrade.
These databases are used in the field by customers althought the controlled upgrade requires a backup before (and blocks if it fails) and tries a backup after if the post upgrade backup fails (due to disk space) we might need to recover from this odd situation.
The only solution I have is install MSDE some place restore to this then do the controlled upgrade again, any other ideas?
I want to read certain data from the backup file of MS SQL 2000 without restoring the database backup file. Based on the data selected I will manage the further functionality such as restoration of the backup file. Is it possible to read some data from MS SQL 2000 backup file without restoring? If yes then please let me know how?
I don't know if this is the right forum to post this question, but here it goes.
We have restored into sql 2005 the database backups made in sql 2000. We connect with trusted connection and application roles, and when trying to execute a transaction to another database (with the guest user), we get a permission error.
Does anyone know if, apart from restoring the databases, we should do something else to get the guest user working the same way as with sql 2000 in the restored databases?
