Database restore from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 for SBO 2005B

Hi Everyone,
I am facing some problems in regards to the restore of SBO Database from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005.
Let me explain you the problem.
See I am using SAP B1 2005B with patch level 38 in my laptop with SQL 2000. I have made an company in this and done work in it as a production company and now I want to restore this company in the server which has SQL 2005. How to do it.
I have taken a backup in my laptop from SAP B1 Server Suite Manager which has SQL 2000 and sucessfully backed up but when I am trying to restore in the server which has SQL 2005 I am getting the following error in SQL 2005 in server :-
Restore failed for Server 'DXBAP001'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Directory lookup for the file "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\data\SBO_DCHAR.mdf" failed with the operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.). (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Please let me know the solution for it.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
In SQL 2005 create a database and name as the 200 one was (though any name would do). when you create the database note the location of the .mdb and .ldf file.
once this had created right click on your new database > tasks > restore database
in the new window select from device and point it to your .bak file created from your 2000 system, ensure you put a tick in the restore box on the new line.
in the options tab tick overwrite database, and, change the file locations in the restore as directory to the file locations of the new database. the file names must be the same too.
you can change the original file names after the restore.
that should do the trick.
thanks,
mike

CRS Editor - Retrieving Timestamp database field from SQL 2005

Hello -
For the life of me, I cannot retrieve a database timestamp field from SQL 2005.
I have successfully used 'cast(Date as char(30)) as DateStr' to convert to string but the DBRead statement displays the original object only as java.lang.Timestamp. Any posts regarding this topic usually require Java skill sets above my level (creating new java class for import,...).
There has to be an easy way to do this without being a Java programmer, yes?
Any help here would greatly be appreciated!
Thanks

Andy,
I'm guessing you know that this isn't really a date/time value in MS SQL. According to Microsoft:
The Transact-SQL timestamp data type is not the same as the timestamp data type defined in the SQL-92 standard. The SQL-92 timestamp data type is equivalent to the Transact-SQL datetime data type.
But to your question how to get the timestamp value out in a string...You'll want to use the convert function:
select convert(varchar(10),myTimestampField) from myTable
That will return the hex value in the column in a string format. Also, when you retrieve the data, are you looking at the original table (which specifies the column is a timestamp), or did you create a dummy table with the columns named and formatted the way the data will be returned that UCCX can look at for the schema? If it doesn't have the correct schema to look at, you'll have problems.

Conversion from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012 Express

Looking to move a small database from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012 Express - can a 2005 backup file be restored to a newly created 2012 Express database file?

Are you using 2005 express? Yes, you can do that
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177429.aspx
Note that if you restore a SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008 database to SQL Server 2012, the database is automatically
upgraded.
Also you
cannot
do a cross
edition restore i.e. from enterprise edition (2005) backup to 2012 express

Steps to change universe database connection from SQL server to Oracle 10

Hi,
we are moving from sql server to Oracle 10.Please let me know the steps and various parameters I should consider while changing universe database connection from SQL server to Oracle 10.
Following are the steps which I assumed :
1.     create a new Oracle database connection or edit the existing connection to point to Oracle server
2.     Need to check sql for each object, having integrity check for universe will solve the purpose of parsing each object
3.     Exporting the universe after integrity check
4.     Report data testing
Let me know if I miss on any steps.Also what all factors I need to consider while moving to Oracle for eg: what @ custom sql,what @ table names,what @ LOV etc.
Kindly reply

Thanks Abhijeet and Shreyash,
I will follow the steps you have suggested.
Actually I was searching for this on net and got to know that with Oracle database connection,theres lot of stuff needs to take care of in terms of custom sql and LOV and in our case,we have lot of custom sql for each object in the universe so just wanted to confirm.
I will do the changes and let you guys know in case theres any isuue specifically to Oracle.

HT1414 My iPhone has crashed during a sync and now I can't restore from backup as it is asking for password to load the backup yet neither the lock code for the phone or my iTunes Password are working... I have no other password to all upon and need the r

My iPhone has crashed during a sync and now I can't restore from backup as it is asking for password to load the backup yet neither the lock code for the phone or my iTunes Password are working... I have no other password to call upon and need the restore to retrieve info onto my phone, I am a real novice to this...... please help, !!!!

If anyone else is looking for a solution to this same problem, I was able to get it working looking through several older discussions.
The solution was to use the password that I had on my iTunes account the very first time I set up the iPhone about a year ago. I changed my iTunes password about 10 months ago; but apparently, the backups continue to use the password that existed when the phone was first set up.
A couple of troubling things with this are that 1) I didn't apply a password when I did the backup this afternoon so I don't understand why it was required when I did the restore a few hours later. and 2) it makes zero sense why iTunes would not be smart enough to use the current accout password when requiring the password to restore from a backup made with no password.
I thought iTunes and Apple were smarter than that. With so many posts stating exactly the same problem, it is clear that this is bug in the software.
Best,
Craig

Same method of attach/deattach.
But recommanded you first install 2000 instance restore database and do inplace sql 2005 upgrade.

How to detect whether a database was created by Restoring (from SQL Server Enterprise Manager) or by Attaching (from SQL Server Enterprise Manager)

Ours is a SQL Server Express Edition 2008-R2 - Windows Forms based application. We have a backup/restore utility provided with our software which performs some logical checks before restoring a backup to ensure that the backup is functionally valid.
However, our clients often use the SQL Server Enterprise Manager utility to 1) Restore backups or 2) Attach data files (kept aside before formatting) directly. This type of action bypasses all our functional checks and allows the user to restore an invalid
backup.
We want to detect that a database was restored/attached and may be we will stop the software from loading if such a thing happened. We think that this information (attach/restore) should be available within some table of SQL Server itself but don't know the
right location/query.
If any change is required in our software to achieve the above, we are ready to do the same too, e.g. may be we need to store some data at some point of time to make the detection happen, please advise.
So, how can we detect that
A database backup was restored using SQL Server Management Utility
(Note: MSDB.Restorehistory may not be a good option as we have often found this table blank for unknown reasons even after backup was restored and just in case user restores the MSDB from MSDB backup or MSDB template due to a data corruption, may be due to
abnormal shutdown of system, then the RestoreHistory table data is gone)
A database was created by attaching a data/log file using SQL Server Management Utility
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

Hi,
For Enterprise edition, we can enable Auditing to audit BACKUP_RESTORE_GROUP in a server audit specification. However, SQL Server audit (fine-grained auditing) feature is not available for the SQL Server Express.
Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2008 R2
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993(v=sql.105).aspx
When a database is attached, SQL Server ERRORLOG will record “Starting up database 'DBNAME'.”
Using ALTER DATABASE OFFLINE and ONLINE will re-open the database files under the SQL Server, the SQL Server error log also contains the following informational message: “Setting database option ONLINE to ON for database 'DBNAME'.”

Siebel database migration from Sql Server 2005 to Oracle 11g RAC.

Hi,
We would like to migrate our Siebel database from Sql Server 2005 to Oracle 11g RAC. Can you suggest the best way to do that ?
The current configurations are:
Application : Siebel
database : SQL Server 2005
The hardware can be changed if needed. Can you please suggest the best approach ?
Thanks,

Hi Naveen,
We would like to migrate our Siebel database from Sql Server 2005 to Oracle 11g RAC. Can you suggest the best way to do that ?You will need much more which suggestions.
You will need a Siebel professional which has done this type of migration. Migrating the Database is not a task so hard, after migrating your environment should be functional and healthy it is usually the task problematic.
The hardware can be changed if needed. Can you please suggest the best approach ?We can recommend the minimum recommended, but this documentation already does, you need to do a analysis on your environment and ask a vendor Siebel tell the which is recommended for you and how to find the best "number" for you, in your case is very hard because everything changes.

Upgrade Process from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012

Hi All,
I have gone thru multiple threads and would like to understand some steps in detail for me to upgrade SQL 2005 to SQL 2012.
Below is my understanding and questions around it, I would be setting up a new environment with OS 2007/2008 with SQL 2012:
Environment Readiness - Ensure new environment is ready with Win 2007/2008 with SQL 2012 Server
Run Upgrade Advisor on the new environment and point to SQL 2005 instance
Find the breaking/discontinued changes to be done before or After Upgrade
<Question>: Over here I would like to know what should be our approach to make the required changes
<Question>: Obviously I should not be making changes directly on the Production SQL 2005 server, then in that case should I take a backup/restore on the new SQL Server 2012 and then make the required changes to the database objects
like (Table schema(changing column names/datatypes etc.), Stored Procedure, Functions & Views)
<Question>: When I do a backup/restore I would also get the data along with it, so is this a recommended approach or should we only run/use the table schema creation scripts, fix the issues identified by UA and then do an Table to Table import,
any thoughts on this ?
<Question>: If I have to do a table to table Import then I should ensure there's a downtime during the Import or would I have any other better approach
So, basically my questions are around the approach of fixing the issues identified by UA and moving the database to SQL Server 2012 environment, I have around 300 databased to me upgraded.
Please do let me know what should be a good/proven approach ? Pl. do let me know if you would need any more details from me.
---Umesh

Thanks all for the replies.
I am trying summarize what I have understood here:
Document SQL Server 2005 environment details, Is there any tool which could give us all relevant details
I would take the backup from the SQL Server 2005 Production environment and then restore the same in a test environment which again has SQL Server 2005 and Run Upgrade Advisor on that
Probbaly run SQL Profiler as well to find out the deprecated changes to be done
I should fix all the breaking, discontinued changes on the Test system identified by UA
I should fix all the deprecated changes on the Test system identified by SQL Profiler
Steps 3 & 4 should give me the changed scripts for all database objects (i.e. Table Schema, Stored Procedures, Functions & Views)
<Question> Perform test, I understand this acitivity test can be captured by having SQL profiler running in the background on the SQL Server 2005 production environment where we can identify some days in a week or a month where maximum activity is
expected to ensure we cover most the scenarios, let me know is this approach looks fine or is there a better approach
Now, with regards to acutal upgrade I need to identify a time window where in less activity is done during which I could have a downtime for the actual SQL Server 2005 production environment
Post downtine, I should do a BackUp for all databases from SQL Server 2005 production environment
Test on environment readiness of SQL Server 2012 can be compared against the documentation done as part of the first Step
<Question> Ideally I should a restore first in the new environment which has SQL Server 2012
<Question> Then run the Scripted changes where we fixed all the breaking, discontinued & deprecated changes
<Question> Does above sequence of Step 9 & 10 make sense or is there a better approach of doing it
<Question> Post Upgrade and running of changed scripts, I should run the Upgrade Advisor again and see if everything looks fine
<Question> Perform test again which we ran on SQL Server 2005 Test environment
<Question> These steps should complete the Upgrade process.
Please do let me know if the above sequence look ok to all of you and does it really work in a practical scenario, do let me know your feedback or any change in sequence/process or any other tools that can be used here.
Thanks Again ...

OraOLEDB.Oracle on x64 Win 2003 connect to Oracle 9.2 from SQL 2005 x64

I know this is an Oracle board but some of you may also support SQL Server like I do and I am hoping someone has had the pleasure of using OraOLEDB.Oracle on 64 bit.
I have a 64 bit SQL Server 2005 SP2 on a Windows 2003 x64. The developer said that he needed to use OLE to talk to Oracle so I went to Oracle and downloaded the 64 bit OraOLDDB driver as recommended in a MS note.
I can connect to Oracle via tnsping and using SQLPlus but I cannot create a linked db successfully.
The linked database errors off with >> Cannot initialize data source for OLE provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for Lined Server "X" (Microsoft SQL Server error: 7399) << (manually typed)
Here is the official OS, SQL Server, and Oracle client information:
The OS is Windows Server 2003 Standard x64 edition Service Pack 2 (NT 5.2 build 3790)
The SQL Server 2005 9.0.3042 (x64) [from
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio    9.00.3042.00
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools        2005.090.3042.00
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2000.086.3959.00
(srv03_sp2_rtm.070216-1710)
Microsoft MSXML                                            2.6 3.0 6.0

Operating System                                           5.2.3790
The OraOLEDB.Oracle driver shows that it is version 10.2.0.3
Oracle "tnsping sid " works
SQLPlus (ver 9.2) works
I have serveral linked databases to Oracle that I have built but all of them are 1- on SQL Server 2000 and 2- are 32 bit. If anyone knows of any additional patches (Windows or Oracle) necessary to resolve this I would appreciate the information. Also there are potential firewall issues though the fact that SQLPus can be used seems to rule this out, but if there are any ports associated with OLE I would like to check on them specifically.
-- Mark D Powell --

Thank you for reminding me what I already knew but in my haste to post out a reply I had forgotten to consider looking at the provider properties.
Today I did and the linked database still failed. The though occurred to me a little later to delete and recreate the linked db and bingo I had a working linked database to Oracle. Now I have three of them and the developer should be working with them now.
This is the first time I ever had to change a provider property to get the provider to work. I would have thought that when the Oracle client install process registered the OLE provider with SQL Server 2005 it would be set with the proper defaults to work.
Thanks again to everyone

Logshipping from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012

I have a 2005 primary sql database (production-constantly updated). I would like to have (pseudo) real time copy in a secondary 2012 sql server instance. I want to run SSRS 2012 on this new secondary server. The end goal is to have users
access 2012 SSRS (uninterrupted) on the secondary server with a copy of "real-time" data from the primary 2005 server.
I plan to implement log shipping between the two servers. Do I have to restore using NO RECOVERY? I have read that I can not use STANDBY mode when restoring between 2005->2012. If so, is there a way to implement this without taking the
secondary sever offline?
Any other suggestions, on how to implement this?
Thanks.

Hi....
It should work for sure.. We have done exactly the same as you're proposing, log shipping from 2005 to 2012. Its always possible lower to higher but higher to lower is not possible.
Nothing will happen to SSRS.
Note : that we weren't using the SQL Server Log Shipping features, but our own custom scripts to do the backup/restore.
Please read the below links for more details and reference....

Deprecated Code - Migration from SQL 2005 to 2012

Hi,
We're planning to upgrade our database from SQL Server 2005 to 2012. Based on this
link, it seems there's no code conversion needed in terms of Data Type, Keywords in creating SPs, Function, trigger.
The only thing that concerns me is this
Set options
SET ROWCOUNT for INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements
TOP keyword
SET ROWCOUNT
109
But other than that, it should be good.
I would also like to get any feedback from other user who migrated their database from 2005 to 2012. What were the issues encountered during the process. Any tips and suggestion will be much appreciated.
Many Thanks.

What is your mode of upgrade
1. In place
2. Side by side
You must also read
Breaking changes to DB engine features in SQL Server 2012
Breaking changes to SQL Server features in SQL Server 2012
If you are just using DB engine features and SSIS I would advise you to first run upgrade advisor and look for breaking changes or unsupported scenarios. make sure you mitigate all such issues.
There is also a feature where you can side by side upgrade database by backup restore to SQL Server 2012 and still keep
compatibility level to 90
(but that is not advised)
I have migrated database from 2008 to 2012 but not from 2005 but above documents were very handy and would work quite well.

Database upgradation from SQL Server 2008 to 2012

Hi Experts,
I am upgrading MSSQL 2008 to MSSQL 2012. This box contains all of the DBs for our Sharepoint installation.
We have identified that we can run the setup wizard to change the database and basically restore a backup from the 2008 database onto the 2012 database running in 2008 compatibility mode. But what should be done about the SharePoint Foundation database running
on the 2008 database?
Help me to resolve the issue.
Regards
Prakash M

Hi Prakash,
Here you are the steps i have used while doing such upgrade:
To Migrate SharePoint DBs from SQL Server to another either same version or to a new version (2008 to 2008 or 2008 to 2012) you can follow the following steps:
Stop all SharePoint and IIS Related Services.
Stop IIS.
Detach all related SQL Server databases.
Configuration database
Central Administration content database
Content databases
Service application databases
Move all database files (.mdf, .ldf, and .ndf) to the new server.
Set up same user permissions on the new SQL server.
Attach your databases to the new SQL Server.
Verify ports in your new SQL server.
Go to your SharePoint server and create your SQL Server Alias.
Start all your SharePoint service
Hope this is helpful

SQL 2005 x64 poor performance after migration from SQL 2005 x86

Recently We've migrated SQL 2005 x86 SP1 Enterprise running on Windows 2003 Enterprise to new hardware where is running Windows 2008 SP2 and SQL 2005 x64 SP4 with CU3.
In the work day, there are sometime SQL excpetions like this below. On other hand i can also tell that we already found some queries which has some inner joins and where clauses on nvarchar fileds, because of the nature of application. Such a query
is running for about 11 seconds on old SQL server, and about 6 minutes on new SQL server. My main question if is this possible just with a change to new architecture of SQL and more last patches and updates for SQL 2005. Is there any way how to get
this queries running faster, without rewritng them with new ones? Is this also possible this could be also cause for SQL exceptions, which we are facing on SQL server?
About new hardware, for now we can't find it something wrong. There is basic configuration:
Cisco UCS C220 M3S (1U server)
32GB RAM
