i have sql 2005 installed on my personal machine, but our server has sql 2000 on it. the structure of my database was made on the server, but i'm not sure how to update the server copy from my local copy. when i try to export my data from my local machine to the server (or import from my local machine to the server), i get pre-execute errors.
roughly every other week, i'll need to be able to update the server version from my local version, so i'm trying to find the most efficient method. what is the best way to update a 2000 database from a 2005 database? it doesn't matter if i append or overwrite, but i do use identity fields. the error i get when trying to use the import/export wizard is:
- Pre-execute (Error)

I have my first small SQl Server 2005 database developed on my localserver and I have also its equivalent as an online database.I wish to update the local database (using and asp.net interface) andthen to upload the data (at least the amended data, but given thesmall size all data should be no trouble) to the online database.I think replication is the straight answer but I have no experience ofthis and I am wondering what else I might use which might be lesscomplicated. One solution is DTS (using SQL 2000 terms) but i am notsure if I can set this up (1) to overwrite existing tables and (2) notto seemingly remove identity attributes from fields set as identities.I know there are other possibilities but I would be glad of advice asto the likely best method for a small database updated perhaps onceweekly or at less frequent intervals,Best wishes, John Morgan
hi, I have a problem with updating a row in my database. I don't know how to update and i need help. I have a form where the users select a category and a sub category to enter a message. I have two dropdown lists, one is for selecting the category and the other is for the sub-category. In my database for the categories and the sub-categories, i have a variable (Quantity) where i keep the quantity for each table. I just want to be able to increment this variable by 1 (for the selected category and sub-category) when a user enter a new message... The insert procedure is working well and have no problem with it. I use VWD 2005 Express with SQL 2005 express and i code in VB.HELP!!!!!
We're currently undertaking the development of our first SQL Server 2005 database and we've stumbled across a problem with our method of deployment from Development through System Test, UAT and, finally, to Production.
Under SQL Server 2000 we would build a new database in Development and assign permissions to a specific database user which was linked to an appropriate Windows Login - the whole build process was scripted. We would then hand the mdf and ldf files over to the Operations team who would attach the database to the System Test server, create a new Windows Login (appropriate for the environment), then run a script which would update the SID stored against the database user to the SID of the appropriate login.
e.g.
Database user (consistent through all environments) = AppDAL
Development: Windows Login = DOMAINAppDEVDAL
System Test: Windows Login = DOMAINAppSYSDAL
UAT: Windows Login = DOMAINAppUATDAL
Production: Windows Login = DOMAINAppLIVEDAL
The script, which directly updates the dbo.sysusers table in SQL 2000, links the AppDAL user to the appropriate Windows Login.
Is there any way to perform this task under SQL Server 2005? I'm aware of the sp_change_users_login stored proc, however this only works for SQL Server logins and not Windows logins. Also I'm aware that direct updates to system tables are not allowed under SQL Server 2005 and were not recommended under SQL Server 2000 so we were actually using an unsupported method during deployment. My guess is that we will have to change our method of deployment and rely on the Operations team to build the database in each enviroment from scripts, however I was wondering if there is another way before we go ahead.
Interestingly SQL Server 2005's sp_change_users_login stored proc contains SQL that does not run outside of the stored proc:
I am working on a project that was written in Visual Studio 2003 using asp.net and C#. The project accesses a SQL Server 2000 database. I need to test the application. What I want to do is to copy the database over to a test server. The problem is that the test server only has SQL Server 2005 on it. Would it be a problem if I backed up the database using SQL Server 2000 and then recreated it on the server as a SQL server 2005 project? Would my source code accept the new database even though it would now be in sql server 2005?
I have used backup and restore method to upgrage 2000 databases to 2005 database. What do i need to do in order to for my application or users to use databse in 2005 and remove 2000
How do I insert data that I have collected in a local database onto a table on my online ie hosted database which is on a different server?
At the moment I am just uploading all the data to the hosted DB but this is wasting bandwith as only a small percentage of data is actually selected and used.
I thought that if i used a local DB and then update the table on my hosted DB this would be much more efficient, but I am not sure how to write the SQL code to do this!
I got thrown into a new project that is going to require me to update an SQL server database tables from an Access table on the backend of an Oracle database on another server. At the end of each day the Access dabase will be updated from the Oracle database.
What I need to do, is when the Access database is updated I need to have the table in the SQL database automaticaly updated. When a new record is added to the Access table I need the new record added to the SQL table. When a record is deleted in the Access table I need to keep that record in the SQL table and set a field to a value (such as 0). And when a record is updated in Access, have it updated in SQL.
Needless to say this is a bit out of my area and not sure how to accomplish this.
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 a SQL 2000 database on one server that I'm trying to transfer to a new server. The new server has Small Business Server R2 Premium Edition, which includes SQL 2005. I tried to transfer the database in the normal way that I'd create a copy database, which was: -1. Backup the source database2. Create a new database (empty) in the new server3. Restore to this database from the backup taken in #1. Of course on previous occasions I wasn't changing version, but I expected that this would either fail immediately (message "incorrect version" or some such), or else work. At first this appeared to transfer OK. It took about 20 minutes to create the backup (just over 5GB), and about the same time to restore it. The restore terminated with a message "Database has been restored successfully"). However, the database's icon in Management Studio's Object explorer showed a little up arrow, and alongside the database name "(restoring ....)". Clicking on the database icon did not expand it. 3 hours later it still was like this. Examining the server showed zero activity. I expect that it's failed, and I should delete the new "(restoring...)" database and start again. How should I create this SQL 2005 database?
i work on sql server 2005 at home and have created a database with several tables and dabase diagram , now how do i transfer it to sql server 2000 which i work on at work , can somebody point me in the right direction in which this is done any hlp appreciated
My customer has SQL Server 2005. I have SQL Server 2000 on my laptop (on XP Pro). I believe I have an empty database the same as theirs, but I need to restore their data. They sent me a normal SQL Backup, but my laptop threw a fit and cannot work with it.
They are now trying to export the database to Microsoft Access and send me that, but I won't get that until next week now. However is there a better and easier solution for those of us with insufficient experience of this, please?
Dear All, at present all our servers are running with sql server 2000. we are planned to upgrade to sql server 2005 standard edition. what is the approach i need to follow? can i directly go for installation of sql server 2005, and then use copy database wizard? this is a production environment, and we even not give 5 min of downtime. please help me in this regard

Hi, I have a database on a SQL Server 2000, and would like to migrate it to a new server machine that has SQL Server 2005. has anyone already tried this, and can you please provide the steps to follow.
I need to copy database from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 server. I was using the Copy wizard from SQL 2000 Server, I could enter the source server and server where to copy SQL 2005 but when I wanted to select the database to copy, nothing happened. Like I was kicked out, no errors etc.
Any one with idea or information, please let me know ASAP

Hi i am a newbie and an developer i have an issue the Development we are doing is on sql server 2005 and we are wanting to send this database for a front end team to develop fromt end and they are using sql server 2000 , will there be any problems with regarding to version. if there are problems what would be the way to provide them with the Data.
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 !!

Our product currently works with Cystal Reports but we decided to enhance it so it works with another reporting platform (MS Reporting Services). We are in the beginning stages of developement and trying to decide which version of RS (2000 or 2005?) to build the reports and integrate our web UI with. Most of our clients are using SQL Server 2000 for their database platform and we don't anticpate them upgrading to 2005 in the near future.
