2005 Database on a 2008 Server?

We have SQL Server 2008, but I was notified by a vendor that one of the databases housed on it was still at 2005. Is this even possible?
If so, what does the process to convert the database to 2008 entail?
Thanks,
Nick

Yes, It's possible but other way is not possible.
The compatibility level is still point to low version. In reality this is not a major problem,you can set the compatibility level of the database to current version.
If you don't want do then in the long run you will not be able to take advantage of newer features though you upgrade your databases.
Check the compatibility level it should be set 90 in your case.
SELECT compatibility_level FROM sys.databases WHERE name = '<databaseName>'
Set it to current version that is 100
ALTER DATABASE <DBNAME> SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL = 100
You can also do this using SSMS

SAPB1 2005 B in windows 2008 server

Hi Friends,
SAPB1 2005 B & 2007B Is it working on Windows 2008 server, i have seen in sizing guide given by SAP, but in that they are not given abour 2008 server family...
anybody help me .....
Venkat

Sorry, I haven't tried it. Maybe someone in forum can give you the result who may try it. And SAP hasn't officially anounced the support of Windows 2008 yet.
It is MS's responsibility to keep the compatibility of OS. Mostly it should work fine for B1 in window 2008, but no garantee...

Install and uninstall of Oracle 11g R2 on Windows 2008 Server

Hi,
I installed Oracle 11g R2 and set up a database on Windows 2008 Server following the steps in the Installation Guide and it was successful. After uninstalling the product and doing a re-install, the step to configure the Net Configuration Assistant fails with the following msg.
Failed to allocate port(s) in the specified range(s) for the following process(es): JMS
[5540-5559], RMI [5520-5539], Database Control [5500-5519], EM Agent [3938] | [1830-1849]
Also, when I ran "netca.bat" and tried to reconfigure the Listener, it indicated the default port 1521 is being used. I ran "netstat -an" and do not see the port listed.
Questions:
What is the best way to check if something was leftover from my previous install of Oracle that is using the default ports?
What do I need to do to ensure a re-install is successful?
Uninstalling Oracle -
1.     Log in as the Administrator.
2.     Stop all Oracle Services.
3.     From a cmd window, run C:\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\deinstall\deinstall.bat.
4.     Delete the C:\app\oracle directory.
5.     Remove the following registry entries as per http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/relnotes.112/e16777/toc.htm:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application\Oracle Services for MTS

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application\Oracle.VSSWriter.<SID>

Johan, after I uninstalled Oracle, I checked to ensure there were no remaining Oracle services remaining.
Srini, below are the steps I followed to uninstall Oracle. In step 3, I just ran deinstall.bat without any parameters and provided required information as prompted. Note, I uninstalled using the Administrator user and not the "oracle" account that I used to install Oracle.

Dataguard installation oracle 11gr2 on windows 2008 server

Hi,
I have oracle 11gr2 database on windows 2008 server. I have been given a primary and secondary server with the same setup.
Now i want to install dataguard. AFter installing i need to test it for disaster recovery.
Can anyone please suggest me a document for this? I searched in this forum but i couldnt get any.
Please help.

An obvious place to look at is our Online Documentation about Data Guard Installation:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17022/toc.htm
See
3 Creating a Physical Standby Database
there.
There is not much special-Windows for Data Guard - of course you need to create Windows Services for both Databases etc. as described here:

SAP and Database Encrption on SQL Server 2005 or 2008

Hi. I searched as best I could for any existing threads on this topic, and could not find any, so I hope it's OK to raise a new one.
We're running SAP ECC 6.0 on a SQL 2005 database. Database size is around 3.3 TB, with Trans Log of about 550GB, storage is HP EVA.
I've been asked to report on how Database Encryption would impact our systems, both from the perspective of enabling it initially and then how it would affect performance going forward.
I've read a few White Papers, for example:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/4ab89e84-0d01-0010-cda2-82ddc3548c65?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
.. and from what I'm reading, it looks like I would want to be moving to SQL Server 2008 as a first step. Does anyone have any experience of implementing SQL encryption for a SAP database, either in 2K5 or 2K8?
All comments or help will be welcomed.
Thanks
Steven Clark

Run Reporting services 2005 with databases housed on SQL Server 2012?

Hi, I have a RS 2005 install in which the ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB databases reside on a different SQL Server 2005 server. I am planning to upgrade DB server to 2012 and would like to keep SSRS as 2005.As a second phase I will upgrade SSRS2005
to SSRS 2008. So I would be running something like this:
Server A: SQL 2005 Reporting Services
Server B: SQL 2012 database engine - housing ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB
Is this configuration supported?

Hello,
According to the
BOL, Report Server service checks the database version at startup. If the report server is connected to a database that is an earlier version, the report server will update the database during startup.If you have a newer report server database, you
cannot use it with an earlier version of a report server instances.
In that case, the earlier versions of SQL Server Database Engine that can be used to host the SSRS report server databases. For example, In SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services, we can use either SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 2005 to host the databases, for
SSRS 2012, we can use SQL Server 2012,2008 R2,2008,2005.
Based on my test, In the Reporting Services 2005 Configure Manager, we can create a new database on a remote SQL Server 2012 database engine and the Initialization is successful.
In this way, the databases are created from the script file which installed with the Reporting Services instance, you can find the Catalog.sql and CatalogTempDB.sql under folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services\ReportServer.
However, when upgrade the existing ReportServer database and ReportServerTempDB database on the SQL Server 2012 by restore from a backup, we cannot use this existing database for Reporting Services 2005 and get the following message:
The database version (162) does not match your reporting serivces installation.And the initialization failed.
In your case, you can host the ReportServer database and ReportServerTempDB database of SSRS 2005 on SQL Server 2012 database enginer by create a new database from Reporting Services 2005 Configure Manager. But you cannot use the existing
database which upgrade to SQL Server 2012.

Hi Timo,
My jdev version is 10.1.3.3.0, this is for R12. By PR i mean to say process request and PFR process form request in the controller.
In the Process request of the controller, i am finding the checkbox bean and assigning the firepartialaction for it.
Later in the process form request for the fired event, i am trying to handle the rendered property of the messagetextinput. Is this a right approach?
my code below
public void processRequest(OAPageContext oapagecontext, OAWebBean oawebbean)
super.processRequest(oapagecontext, oawebbean);
OAApplicationModule oaapplicationmodule = oapagecontext.getApplicationModule(oawebbean);
OAMessageCheckBoxBean oamessagecheckboxbean = (OAMessageCheckBoxBean)oawebbean.findChildRecursive("X_FLAG");
if(oamessagecheckboxbean != null)
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this, "Message check box Bean found:", 1);
FirePartialAction firepartialaction = new FirePartialAction("change");
oamessagecheckboxbean.setAttributeValue(PRIMARY_CLIENT_ACTION_ATTR, firepartialaction);
oamessagecheckboxbean.setFireActionForSubmit("change", null, null, true);
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this, "setting fire event", 1);
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext oapagecontext, OAWebBean oawebbean)
super.processFormRequest(oapagecontext, oawebbean);
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this, "Inside Process Form Request", 1);
if("change".equals(oapagecontext.getParameter(OAWebBeanConstants.EVENT_PARAM)))
OAMessageTextInputBean bean = (OAMessageTextInputBean)oawebbean.findChildRecursive("X_NUMBER");
if(bean!=null){
bean.setRendered(Boolean.TRUE);}

Get an image from a varbinary field in an SQL Server 2005 database

Hi:
In a varbinary(MAX) field of an SQL Server 2005 database I
storage JPG images. I design a webservice that returns the
following XML structure:
Public Class IMAGEN
Public ErrorConsulta As Long
Public Imagen As Byte()
End Class
The response look like this:
<FLEXOBTENERIMAGENResponse>
<FLEXOBTENERIMAGENResult>
<IMAGEN>
<ErrorConsulta>0</ErrorConsulta>
<Imagen>/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEAYABgAAD/2wBDAAgGBgcGBQgH....</Imagen>
</IMAGEN>
</FLEXOBTENERIMAGENResult>
</FLEXOBTENERIMAGENResponse>
Where the node Imagen are thousands of caracters that
represents the JPG image.
How can I show this JPG in an Image control of a Flex Builder
2 or 3?
If you need more information please let me know.
Thanx in advance.

Assuming that you have text fields storing the Y N then on
the output you
have a code block like this
<%
If recordset.fields.item("wheelchair").value = "Y" then
%>
<img src="images/wheelchair.gif">
<%End if%>
However is your field is set to be a Yes/No type then the
best way is to
write the test like this
If recordset.fields.item("wheelchair").value = TRUE then

Importing data from SQL Server 2005 database

Dear Friends
Scenario:
We have built an application for which the database is SQL Server 2005.
Now, we have planned to switch over to Oracle 8i database.
There is a field with data type as Varchar(Max) – which can hold data with a maximum length of 231 characters (SQL Server 2005)
In Oracle 8i, the Varchar2 max size 4000 bytes or characters.
We want to import the data from SQL Sever 2005 database into Oracle 8i database.In the process, the value for the particular field whose data type set as Varchar(Max) in SQL Server 2005 and contains more than 4000 characters gets automatically truncated while importing into oracle.
We want the entire characters stored in the field to be imported into oracle database.
Please suggest solutions.
Thanks and regards
Bharath Kumar V

Use CLOB if the data is purely text data. BLOB otherwise.
But the question is why you want to switch over to an Oracle version which is de-supported by Oracle?

Want to upgrade 2008 R2 to 2012. Upgrade advisor giving errors relating to Database Compatability Level and Server Collation

I want to upgrade a SQL Server from 2008 R2 to 2012. When I run upgrade advisor, I get the following error messages:
Rule "Valid Database compatibility level and successful connection" failed.
The report server database is not a supported compatibility level or a connection cannot be established. Use Reporting Services Configuration Manager to verify the report server configuration and SQL Server management tools to verify the compatibility
level.
Rule "Valid Database server collation and successful connection" failed.
The SQL Server Database Engine is not configured with a valid server collation and cannot be used as the Reporting Services SharePoint Shared Service catalog database.
The database called ReportServer has Collation = Latin1_General_Cl_AS_KS_WS and Compatibility level = 100

Hi Andrew,
Regarding to the first error message, please check the Reporting Service Configuration Manager, make sure that you connect to ReportServer database from the correct server
and use servername\instancename format connection string. For more details, please review this similar
thread.
Regarding to the second error, it is caused by that the current SQL Server Database Engine server is using an incompatible server collation.
SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services SharePoint mode utilizes the SharePoint shared services architecture. SharePoint does not support SQL Server Database Engine configured for case sensitive or server collations or binary server collations.
And since the SQL Server Database Engine server collation property cannot be changed, you will not be able to complete an upgrade of Reporting Services. You will need to migrate your Reporting Services installation to a new server which is using a compatible
server collation. For more details, please review the following article:
Incompatible Database Engine Server Collation:

Size of SQL Server 2005 Database for SAP B1 2005 B is heavy

Hi all,
In my company we are working with SAP B1 2005 B SP 25.
Our Database is in SQL Server 2005. Its Size reaches 6 GB in less then two years periods.
Can Any body guide me to reduce the size or how to maintain database. Can we split Database in SAP B1 ?
Due to the size users getting less speed
Awaiting your valuable guidance for the same.
Best Regards,
Chintesh Soni

Hi Chintesh,
I would advise caution doing any of the things suggested in SAP Note 548772. In particular, I strongly recommend you do NOT set auto-shrink on. This is a really bad idea on a production database and I can't understand why SAP would suggest it.
Is it the data file that is 6GB or the overall size of the database (ie data and log files)? If your log file is large then this can slow performance. I recommend setting up transaction log backups on an hourly basis. This is good practice and not only keeps the log file healthy but also gives you the option to recover your data to the last transaction log backup in the case of an emergency. If you don't want transaction log backups then do as the SAP note mentions and set the recovery model to simple and do a once-off truncation of the log file.
Are you doing regular maintenance on the database (ie rebuilding indexes, updating statistics)? Are you monitoring fragmentation on the data drive and doing a defrag occasionally to keep the drive healthy?
Kind Regards,
Owen
