SQL Server 2000 To 2005 Upgrade (Database Users Logins)
Jul 6, 2007
Hi All,
I have just migrated couple of test databases
from SQL Server 2000 to 2005 (side by side).
I also migrated the server level logins using SSIS transfer logins task, available on SSIS 'Transfer logins', I selected all the databases that I have migrated so that I have all database users account in server logins (to avoid orphaned users); but I don't have all the database users in server logins, also the sys.sysusers doesn't have the database users, that I have moved to SQL 2005. Can anybody help?
Also do I need to back up the SQL Server 2000 database and restore it on SQL 2005? What impact this operation can have?
Our company has 2 Database Roles (DBE and DBA). The DBE creates database schema, performs SQL Server Administration, and manages server security. The DBA writes data access, ETL, and manages database security. In 2005, we're struggling with how to allow the DBA to see all of the logins on the server in order to add them as users of their database. What permissions does the DBA need to select from any of the logins on the server to add them to their database?
I can't figure out what the purpose of having seperate users is as I can't actually login to the database using one.
Here is my scenario.
I have a single login called LoginA and I have a database which I want to carve up using schema's. At the database level I need to create a user, associate a login with this user and can set a default schema and specifiy what schemas this USER can access. The login created can access multiple schemas.
So..
I created a database login called loginA.
I created a user for the database called UserA set it's login name to LoginA and
I then created 3 schemas called SchemaA, SchemaB and SchemaC and set their schema owner name to UserA.
I went back to UserA and set their default Schema to SchemaA
How can I login using the new user created as it has no password associated with it. If I login using LoginA then I have no default Schema set becuase the schema is associated with a USER not a LOGIN.
I can understand why you can only have one login account assicated with one user account for each database but I can;t understand why you can specify a user name if you can't use it to login.
I do not understand the sequence in which to add logins/users. A coupleof things to note. I can not use vbscript - it has to be done using thesqldmo objects (or in a sql script).The sequence I use now is:1- create login, set default db2- add login to sql server3- set db owner4- create user5- add user to master db6- add user to tempdb - blows up hereError 'Microsoft SQL-DMO: [SQL-DMO]This object is already in acollection.'I need the user in 3 dbs. Any help greatly appreciated. Thinking aboutit...I bet by adding it to the master db that it is automatically addedto tempdb so I will try to add it to the 2rd db and see if that works.Thanks!-Will
I have a few databases running a sql2000 and the time as come to move them onto sql2005. Which would be the best route to take.
If I can think back to older version it was just a simply job of doing a backup in it's current version then restore in the new version? and upgrade was taken while restoring.. I could be wrong but any help !!
We are currently running sql 2000 and are moving our database onto sql 2005 running on a different box.
We have managed to move the entire database, with users however the users permissions on specific tables/views/stored procedures have not been transferred, does anyone know a way of transferring user permissions rather then doing them all by hand?
The system is a large (over 500 table/views/stored procedures) and a very active one and therefore downtime is not optional.
I just upgraded a large SQL 2000 database server to SQL 2005, and I have 2 databases that won't attach to the 2005 Server. They are both very small, about 90MB in size, and when I attach them to 2005, the process alternates between running and spinloop status. It can sit forever, and will never complete. I restored backups before the upgrade to a SQL 2000 Server, and reran DBCC CheckDB on both, and got no consistency errors, Updated Stats and indexes, then detached and moved the data files to 2005, and same thing.

I have read the previous threads on the bugs with this task mainly: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1438968&SiteID=1 . These are great posts that helpmed me avoid wasting time. I haven't seen one yet that addresses copying an entire database including the sql server logins.
I would like to import the ENTIRE database from one (2005) server to another(2005) using the SSIS Transfer SQL Object task (not just sprocs,tables,views and functions). I have figured out how to pull the tables,views,sprocs and functions ... by using an execute sql task to drop these objects. But I cannot get this to work for users since the user dbo cannot be dropped and guest can only be disabled. I am creating a new database (this is the database where the sql objects will be copied to) via management studio to test this. There has to ba a way to get this working ... Microsoft must have published some sort of KB article on this task or a Script Task using SMO object calls. If need be I can drop the entire database on the target machine and have SSIS recreate it.
The only reason I'm willing to take a risk with SSIS rather than backup and restore is because of time constraints (I assume the SSIS task is faster) and backup storage administration.

We are planning to upgrade the SQL Server in our production environment from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. This is a 4 Node cluster environment with 3 Databases on 3 Virtual instances. The main requirement is to achieve this with no/minimal downtime.
Could you please suggest or direct me to any documentation for the best practices used to upgrade such an environment?
Hi guys, I have tried to use the sp_help_revlogin script to move logins from a sql 2000 server to a sql 2005 server. It works for users that have a password. But if the password is blank it will fail. Is there a work around for this since I can't change the users passwords? I have also tried SSIS package but that too doesn't work because of the same reason.
I am currently using sql server 2000 and I have just installed sql server 2005 in a separate box that will be used as the production server so I will be upgrading to the new database server soon.
I was reading the upgrade options for this situation and one option is to detach the 2000 database, copy the mdf and log files to the new server and attach it to mssql 2005. Another option is to recreate the tables, views, etc. and export/import the data to the new server.
I would like to ask what the best option is for this situation because I am not sure what the advantages and disadvantages of just detaching/attaching and recreating the database in sql server 2005. If I just detach/attach the database, will there be any disadvantage in the performance because the database files were created in 2000 and is functioning because of backward compatibility in 2005? Would it be better to recreate the database in 2005 and import the data from 2000 so that the database would be running in a way that is designed for 2005?
I am not really sure of the differences of these upgrade options so any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Hello, I have sql server 2000 personal edition on my PC and I have just got a 2005 DVD. I tried to install it but it is not working. I don't know how to manage my databases. As if there is no graphical managemnt tool. The 2005 is also Personal edition. I reinstalled the sql 2000, and now I'm trying t upgrade to sql 2005, but still don't know how to do that. Please someone help me!!!!!!!!!!
Probably this question has been asked hundreds of times and yet netsearch has not generated satisfactory enough answer, at least, to me.And OK, let's assume your organization has more than 200 employees,just one measure to indicate that it's not small and data processingneeds are quite extensive (for both OLTP and OLAP).We've heard so much about concurrency support, stability andperformance. Are there any real persuasive paper out there to talkabout it? Now, let me also put it in another perspective, say, you'rea Microsoft sql server sales guy or gal for that matter for newaccounts. What you got?Thanks.
I've inherited 6 sql server 2000 boxes. I've upgrade 3 with no trouble. now I have one that gives the message : "your upgrade is blocked because of cross-language compatibility rules. For more information about cross-language support, see the version..."
all servers are 2003, sp2. All SQL is Enterprise edition, default language is "english". even the collation order is the same. why the cross language message? Any help would be good else I'll be forced to rebuild the DB and load application again. ugly!!
My question might be a little bit unusual, but is it possible to upgrade SQL 2005 Express (the free version of SQL) to SQL 2000 Server without any loss of functionality?
Where do I have to pay attention to when doing this?
Currently we use SQL 2K SP4 and snapshot replication with a Central Publisher with Remote Distributor toplogy.
I am looking to upgrade or migrate our SQL servers to SQL 2005 and was wondering what is the best way to do this for our replicated architecture?
Is the best way to run the SQL 2005 Upgrade on all 3 servers (publisher, distributor, subscriber) and should it automatically upgrade the servers including the replication components? Is there anything i should consider/watch out for when doing the upgrade and it involves replication (namely snapshot replication)?
I would like to upgrade a production active/passive SQL Server 2000 cluster to SQL Server 2005.
I've read all of the documentation I could find, and doing an in-place upgrade seems to be the way to go. (Despite the fact it scares the hell out of me.
But throughout all the documentation, I've yet to see some simple and fairly important questions answered.
How does the process of upgrading SQL Server work when you're dealing with a cluster?
Do you upgrade one machine then the other? If so, do you upgrade the active node first, or the passive node?
What happens if you're forced to failover from one instance to the other before you've had a chance to upgrade both to 2005? In other words, you failover from 2005 to 2000. Would that even work?
What happens if your upgrades fails for some reason? Is it easy to rollback the installation? If not, will reinstalling SQL Server 2000 cause any issues? Will it remember the previous configuration and simply fix the broken install?
I'm trying to upgrade from SQL Server 2000 to 2005. The problem I am having is that when I try to attach the existing db files I get a message that says "database cannot be upgraded because it is read only or has read only files...."
Thing is... there is no write protection on the files.
Can anyone advise me on how to overcome this problem so that I can attach the db, please?
I have upgraded our test server and on non cluster production machine. My next server is a cluster and I don't have a test cluster server. Do I upgrade the active node and that is all or am I going to need to fail it over and upgrade the other node.
Also the prerequesite for the upgrade advisor is .net 2.0 I am going to up that on each server one at a time but I am only going to add the upgrade advisor to one node is that ok.
I read the SP1 documentation and it clearly states only patch the active node and do not patch the inactive nodes.
I used the SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Advisor to upgrade from SQL Server 2000 Enterprise to 2005 Standard. The only complaint I got concerned DTS packages, but I had none anyway. When I open SQL Server Management Studio, I can run queries, but they're against tables in the old 2000 databases. The SQL engine and Server agent are version version 8.0. Not surprising that new TSQL statements like 'BACKUP SERVICE MASTER KEY TO FILE' won't work.
Do I have to uninstall my previous version before upgrading?
I'm trying to upgrade the Default Instance of MSDE 2000 Release A which is installed with Mixed Mode and strong password to SQL Server 2005 Express in a Windows 2000 Server with SP4. On the Upgrade Logon Information screen, if I select SQL Server Authentication Mode, it will give me this message:
SQL Server Setup Cannot Upgrade the specified instance by using SQL Server Credential. You must use Windows Authentication credential for the upgrade.
If there was a view that joined 2 tables and I accessed the view the 2 ID fields in the view would still have the AutoIncrement attribute still set to true so that I knew those were Identity fields.
In SQL server 2005
I dont' know why but if you reference a View that has Identiy AutoInc fields in ADO it doesn't keep those properties.
Also for whatever reason we Set the ID field to 0 to let ourselves know its a new Record. SQL 2000 let it happen and assumed it to be null where as By Setting the ID to 0 in SQL 2005 causes it to blow up on me.
Is there some sort of setting in SQL that can make SQL 2005 work like SQL 2000 in these two instances...
