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 Server reporting services error "URl has already been reserved" while doing upgrade from SQL server 2008 R2 to SQL server 2012

"URl has already been reserved".
Reporting services for port 80 and 443 works fine both for reports and reportingserver on SQL server 2008 R2. But when I try to upgrade from SQL server 2008 R2 to 2012 this error pops up. How to make sure before upgrading regarding reporting services that
URL reserves and SSL are fine or how to fix reporting services are upgrade like repair install.
Thanks

Hi yashmitl,
In your case, please running the following command to check the current URL reservations on http.sys.
netsh http show urlacl
Then, please delete the URL reservation by executing the following command try to resolve the issue.
netsh http delete urlacl <url>
There is a similar issue, you can refer to it.

Unable to upgrade from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SP1

Hi there
I am currently in the middle of installing and configuring Sharepoint 2013 on a Windows 2012 R2 Virtual Server. I have first installed SQL Server 2008 R2 and then installed sharepoint 2013 including all of the prerequisites.
When I go to the SharePoint products configuration wizard, I get an error on the 'specify configuration database settings' page saying that I do not have the right SQL version as sharepoint 2013 needs SQL server 2008 R2 SP1 installed.
So I downloaded SP1 for SQL server 2008 R2 x86 but when I run the update, there are no instances for me to select to upgrade - it just says 'Shared Features'.
Sorry if this is a silly question - I am quite new to SQL!
Tom

Hello,
You probably have a 64-bit SQL Server 2008 R2 instance but you downloaded a 32-bit version of SP1 for SQL Server 2008 R2.
Please download the 64-bit version of SP1.
Hope this helps.

Upgrade to SQL Server 2008 R2 fails

I'm trying to upgrade from SQL Server 2008 Express to SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. The installation is failing. I get two log files. The first appears to be a summary. The second is an MSI install log file. The MSI log is too large to paste in here and
I cannot attach files, so I included the section where it appears to fail. Based on the log contents below, how can I fix this?

Upgrade from SQL server developer 2008 R2 to SQL Server developer 2012

Hi,
We have bought 5 licenses of SQL server developer 2012.
This licenses provided us an option to use SQL server 2008 R2. And we have been using 2008 R2 till now.
But now we want to upgrade to SQL server developer 2012 edition
I want to know the process for up-gradation. When I looked at the licensing portal, it says "This product does not require a product key"
My questions are:
1) Should I download the 2012 version from licensing center and pass the downloaded copy to respective team members?
2) Can the team member download the SQL server 2012 developer edition from Microsoft site and install it on their machines?
3) Do we need to first un-install 2008 R2?
4) How the licensing can be managed in cases of products which say "This product does not require a product key.", i.e. how can I make sure that no more than 5 installations are done by the team
Thanks

1. Developer edition has license associated with it .And yes you can download it if you have subscription.But please be informed that you cannot use Developer edition in production,its not allowed and illegal.
2.You can upgarde from SQL server 2008 R2 to 2012 developer edition by Inplace upgrade method ,you can also follow side by side approach.For side by side approach you have to get new box ,intall OS,then install SQL server 2012 ,move logins and jobs and move
databases by backup restore.You must see supported upgrades
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143393(v=sql.110).aspx
3.No not ins any case ,please dont do that
4.Licensing question should best be asked with Microsoft licensing expert.
reg process of upgarde first run upgrade advisor and look for error if any.Then run SQL server 2012 setup and in maintenance section select edition upgrade,other process is same as SQL Server installtion

Migration from SQL SERVER 2008 to Oracle 10g issues.

Hi ,
I'm trying to migrate from SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 10g and I end up with some issues that I wanted to ask some info about it.
First, I was following a tutorial
http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/db/hol08/sqldev_migration/mssqlserver/migrate_microsoft_sqlserver_otn.htm
and and in the last version of Oracle SQL developer I downloaded, I didn't find the Load Database Capture Script Output option.
My first question is how can I either add this option or is there a new way to load the capture script ?
Then I use the migration wizard and after following everything, I had the migration complete message from the application.
When I tried to open my connectionss, it tells me version 11.2 is required. Does that mean that Oracle SQL developper 3 only
do the migration for oracle 11g? And if I tried the previous versions, it doesn't support SQL server 2008.
What do I do in this case ?
Thanks !

Thank you for your reply.
After using the wizard and made the offline migration script, in the Migration projects window I made a move data to the oracle connection I previously made and after when I tried to reopen the connection, I couldn't.
Well I didn't retry it yet to see if I'll have the same behavior but basically this is what I think I did. When I tried to open the connection I made, it says, Oracle 11.2 is required.
Now, I just generate target from the convert model and it says migration complete but how do I test it and I do I go to oracle and see change ?
Do I had to create a special user in SQL Server to log to it first ? How do I logon to it ?

Upgrade from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server Express 2014 Enterprise

I was just wondering if it is possible to upgrade from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server Express or will I have to build the environment and then migrate the database?
Thanks for any help

Hi Lance_Romance,
As others’ posts, you don’t have to build new environment and then migrate databases between SQL Server instances, you can use the in-place upgrade strategy to upgrade from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2014 .Please note that SQL Server 2005 SP4 is required
in this case.
Before upgrading , I recommend you to use
upgrade advisor, it can help to analyze your existing SQL Server deployment and inform you of issues that need to be addressed. In addition, please perform a full server backup prior to performing the in-place upgrade, which will be an important way
to revert your SQL Server to its previous state if the upgrade does not go as planned. For more details, please review this blog:

Reports quit working after upgrade to SQL Server 2008

Folks,
I'm running Visual Studio 2008 (sp1) and recently upgraded to SQL Server 2008. Reports worked fine until after upgrade. Now I get the "Login Failed" error message.
Here is code snippets:
        CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument oReport = new   CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
        TableLogOnInfo LonOnInfo = new TableLogOnInfo();
        TableLogOnInfos crtableLogoninfos = new TableLogOnInfos();
        TableLogOnInfo crtableLogoninfo = new TableLogOnInfo();
        private Tables crTables;
        private Table crTable;
        ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
            crConnectionInfo.IntegratedSecurity = true;
            crConnectionInfo.ServerName = Properties.Settings.Default.InstanceName + "
Instance";
            crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "DATABASE";
            crTables = oReport.Database.Tables;
            for (int i = 0; i < crTables.Count; i++)
                crTable = crTables<i>;
                crtableLogoninfo = crTable.LogOnInfo;
                crtableLogoninfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo;
                crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crtableLogoninfo);
            oReport.RecordSelectionFormula = xFormula;
            crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = oReport;
Has anyone had this problem? Any help would be appreciated.
Terry

CR 2008 does not support MS SQL 2008 yet, meaning we have not had time to test it completely and add it to our supported platforms.txt file.
One thing I noticed is you are using trusted authenication:
crConnectionInfo.IntegratedSecurity = true;
Make sure you give access to all users, MS changed the security properties a lot since SQL 2005 and you can't simply log into any database now. If you have a DBA check with that person on how to configure NT Authentication or the Help file. You can also do a quick test and simply use MS SQL Server authentication to confirm if it's a user permission issue.
Try creating a report that doesn't use Integrated Security, check the box off on your data logon prompt in the Designer.

EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @cmd
--Print @cmd
This is not working it was asking the Confirmation (I:\Backup_Test\20100629\*, Are you sure (Y/N)? ) what will i do to the delete the folder.
Thanks,
Prasad R.

I would notice   you that T-SQL does not play well to do things like that. Do not you want using .net language to delete folders?
Old method is
declare @HR int, @CFOLDER varchar(255),@FSO int
    set @CFOLDER='D:\folder\'
    EXEC @HR = sp_OACreate 'Scripting.FileSystemObject', @FSO OUT
    EXEC @HR = sp_OAMethod @FSO, null, 'DeleteFolder', @CFOLDER
Now regarding to your second question please examine xp_fileexist system stored procedure
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fn_file_exists(@filename VARCHAR(300))
RETURNS INT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @file_exists AS INT
EXEC master..xp_fileexist @filename, @file_exists OUTPUT
RETURN @file_exists
END
GO
-- test
SELECT dbo.fn_file_exists('c:\a.txt')

Migration from SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 11g

Hi there,
I have a quick question, Anyone who have experienced to migration procedures,function from SQL Server 2008 to 11g R2. Is it possible? I migrated tables and views through Oracle heterogenious servinces but I am not sure about the fucntions and procedures.
Any help would be appreciated.
Warm regards,

Automated conversions are possible. After these conversions the system will pretty much run. However, and it can be a pretty big HOWEVER, performance could well take a hit - which the uninitiated or SQL Server acolytes will seek to blame on Oracle not being very good. This is not actually the case.
You could be in for a major review and rewrite. Besides the syntax differences in the procedural languages, there is a huge - like really huge - difference in transaction control, isolation, and read consistency. Basically, keep in mind that Oracle reads do not block writes, writes do not block reads, and there are no dirty reads. Writes only block other writes. Thus, no coding 'tricks' are needed to get around these blockers. Oracle has global temporary tables that are generally used to help out those converting from SQL Server. In actuality, then are mostly not needed as you can almost always do your work in one SQL statement.
Read the concepts guide from cover to cover, then do it again, then start looking at what you need to do to convert your procedural code.

Transfer tables from sql server 2008 to oracle 11g

Hi ,
I have to transfer 2-3 tables (5 Lacs records each) from sql server 2008 to oracle Ent. 11g (platform Linux)
i have to upload data with some conditions.
not allowed to install oracle client on sql server for link server. i can get data in csv file
which will be the best possible way
1) using Db link on oracle server
2) get data into csv file and load using SQL loader
3) get data into csv and load using external table
4) using tool - sql developer
Thanx,

Can anyone help me, please?

Hi Mark,
with the command
describe TEST@DL_SQLSERVER2008
i get the error :
Error: ORA-00904: "OBJECT_TYPE": invalid identifier
If i create a table :
CREATE TABLE TEMP AS (SELECT * FROM TEST@DL_SQLSERVER2008 );
the column of the table TEST with type MONEY is mapped to the type number(19,4)
With the query from SQL Server the output is :
Entita Serie     Articolo     Prezzo
1     AB      0207405      3,822
1     AB      0503019      3,60
1     AB      0509015      15,75
1     AB      0706015      1,96
1     AB      0810050      1,617
1     AB      STANDARD 0,00
With the query from Oracle the output is :
Entita Serie     Articolo     Prezzo
1     AB      0207405      3
1     AB      0503019      3

Have trouble query after creating a linked server from SQL Server 2008 to EXCEL 2007

I created a linked server from SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express to an EXCEL 2007 workbook using:
sp_addlinkedserver @server='LSERVER_EX0', @srvproduct='EXCELDATA', @provider='Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', @datasrc='C:\Temp\abc.xlsx', @provstr='EXCEL 12.0'
The linked server LSERVER_EX0 was created, but I cannot see any table(excel sheet), and when i ran the following to query tables,
sp_tables_ex 'LSERVER_EX0'
I got:Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES" for OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "LSERVER_EX0". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used.
Any hint why?
on another note, i was able to import the EXCEL sheets using the Import and Export Data wizard, but i cannot control the column data type and size in this way.

Open management studio, goto "Server Objects"->"Linked Servers"->Providers, select the provider you use, right click it and in provider options, check "Allow inprocess".
