How to attached a sql server 2008 database on sql server 2005

Hi,
I have a backup of database designed over sql server 2008. I need to attacched this on a machine where sql server 2005 is installed and I am getting the message while attaching the database.
"The database can not be opened because it is version 661.
the server supports version 611 and earlier"

You need to install/have another instance of SQL Server 2008, restore over there the database and perhaps create a SSIS package to move objects and data into SQL Server 2005

How to connect to SQL SERVER 2008 from labview

We have installed a SQL server 2008 in the local PC and through DSN we were able to connect to the database on the same PC . Now we have loaded SQL server 2008 in another PC but in same network but we are not able connect to the database. we can do it with connnectiong string?

Thanks for your reply,
We verified through DSN it works, we are able to connect to database by DSN.
But the issue is for connecting it to database we need to dynamically obtain the IP by choosing the Obtain the IP address automatically in TCP/IP Properties.
Whereas all the other devices connected to the PC are having static IP of 192.168.127.xxx from which we are getting the data. Also the PC IP address is 192.168.127.001 which is connected to the devices with a LAN switch to acquire the data from these devices.
Now i can either communicate with the devices using static IP address 192.168.127.1 or connect to database using dynamic address.
A separate LAN port will solve or is there solution for this issue?

How can I convert SQL Server 2008 Timestamp to DB2/iSeries Timestamp?

In DB2/iSeries I have a column that accepts Timestamp value. When I try to insert a timestamp value from the SQL 2008 table and into DB2/iSeries table I recieve the following error message:
OLE DB provider "IBMDA400" for linked server "XXX" returned message "SQL0180: Syntax of date, time, or timestamp value not valid.
Cause . . . . . : The string representation of a date, time, or timestamp value does not conform to the syntax for the specified or implied data type and format. *N is either the character string constant that is not valid or the column or host
variable that contained the string. If the name is *N, then the value is an expression specified in the statement. If the string was found in a host variable, the host variable number is 1. Recovery . . . : Ensure that the date, time, or
timestamp value conforms to the syntax for the data type it represents. Try the request again.".
Msg 7343, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "IBMDA400" for linked server "XXX" could not INSERT INTO table "[IBMDA400]".
The SQL timestamp column contains the result in the following format:
2014-04-24 07:39:09.000
And my insert TSQL command is:
INSERT INTO OPENQUERY(XXX, 'Select "TimeOfDeal" from ABCD.TICKETS')
SELECT TimeOfDeal
FROM dbo.Tickets
WHERE DealId = 'ABC123'
I appreciate any help on this issue.

You are right it is a datetime data type in MS SQL, and a Timestamp in DB2.
I cast it to datetime2 and it worked.
Interesting. I would guess that somewhere under the covers, the date value gets converted to a string, and the different default string formats for datetime and datetime2 is illustrated with this statement:
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate()), convert(varchar, sysdatetime())
When I ran it, I got these values:
Feb 23 2015 12:31PM 2015-02-23 12:31:18.3708899
Now, why there is a conversion to string in the first place, I'm afraid I don't have any good answer to.

How to extract data from multiple flat files to load into corresponding tables in SQL Server 2008 R2 ?

Hi,
          I have to implement the following scenario in SSIS but don't know how to do since I never worked with SSIS before. Please help me.
          I have 20 different text files in a single folder and 20 different tables corresponding to each text file in SQL Server 2008 R2 Database. I need to extract the data from each text file and
load the data into corresponding table in Sql Server Database. Please guide me in how many ways I can do this and which is the best way to implement this job. Actually I have to automate this job. Few files are in same format(with same column names
and datatypes) where others are not.
1. Do I need to create 20 different projects ?
               or
    Can I implement this in only one project by having 20 packages?
             or
    Can I do this in one project with only one package?
Thanks in advance.

As I said I don't know how to use object data type, I just given a shot as below. I know the following code has errors can you please correct it for me.

How to access the datasource window in SSRS for sql server 2008 R2 for writing my query without having to go through the wizard?

I have used SSRS a lot years ago with Sql Server 2000 and Sql Server 2005. I have written external assemblies, ... But now I have to do this with Sql Server 2008 (R2 -- which I realize I am way behind the times already but ...) in sql server 2000 and
2005 there was a tab for datasource to the left of the tab for design which was to the left of the preview tab. How do I get to the datasource window in sql server 2008 (r2) ?
I see that datasource explorer. But where can I get to the datasource window to edit my queries and so forth for sql server 2008 (R2)?
Thanks
Rich P

I think I found the answer to my question --- just right-click on the the Data Sources or Datasets for editing connections and dataset queries. I'm guessing it gets even fancier with Sql Svr 2012 - 2014. Man, that's the one thing
about coding platforms -- you let it go for a few years and come back, and everything has changed (well, a lot of things). Now I need to figure out how to add an external assembly to SSRS 2008 (R2).

How to restore SQL Server 2008 database to SQL Server Express 2012

How to restore SQL Server 2008 database to SQL Server Express 2012.
I BACKED UP a SQL Server 2008 database from work, which runs the enterprise version of 2008, and I tried to RESTORE it to my new 64-Bit home PC which is running the new SQL Server Express 2012 64-Bit (Advanced Edition).
But if fails. I get the following message text.
Can anyone help me please. I thought restoring a 2008 database to the later version 2012 would be possible.
Here is the error message. Thanks.
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

Are you sure your database is SQL server 2008 from error message it seems your SQL server version is 2000.I guess you have multiple versions of SQL server.
AFAIK you cannot restore backup of SQL server 2000 to 2012 directly .Restore it first to SQL 2008/2008R2 or 2005 then take backup again of new database created and then you would be able to restore it on 2012.Its kind of intermediate way
Also make sure your DB size is less than 10 G as max DB size supported by Express edition is 10 G and if your DB size is more than 10 G restore will fail.
You are also trying to restore enterprise DB backup on express edition so you will loose enterprise features on express edition

How to stop SQL Server 2008 R2 generating SQLDump.mdmp files constantly?

Something went wrong with local SQL Server 2008 R2 and it constantly generates SQLDump.mdmp files. It generated 40Gb(!) of SQLDump.mdmp this morning. Server rebooted, but didn't help.
Any ideas what happened with SQL Server and how to stop SQLDump.mdmp files generation?

Memory Dumps are generated automatically by the SQL Server under various circumstances - most of which indicate potential problems in the Instance or the machine. Some that I can recall right now are:
Database Corruption
Non-yielding scheduler

There can be several other reasons as well. SQL Server generates the dumps, so that these dumps can be analyzed to find out potential problems in the SQL Server.
IMHO, rather than trying to find out ways to stop the dumps from being generated, please try to find out potential problems in the Instance or the machine and fix that. This will stop the dump generation anyway.
In case you need any assistance in analyzing the Dumps, please feel free to engage Microsoft Support.

How to attach .mdf file to sql server 2008 EXPRESS

I have .mdf files created using SQL SERVER management studio 2012 in another computer and wish to attach the same to SQL SERVER 2008 EXPRESS in another computer. How should I do so? I tried this method :How
to: Attach a Database File to SQL Server Express but then it shows an error that the database cannot be created due to compatibility issues.
Msg 948: The database xyz cannot be opened because it is version 706. This server supports version 655 and earlier. A downward path is not supported..
Any help??

You are trying to attach SQL Server 2012 database files to SQL Server 2008 R2 which is not allowed, you either need to upgrade your SQL Server 2008 to 2012 or alternatively you can generate all scripts from SQL Server 2012 and execute it in SQL Server
2008 R2.
You can refer below link to how to generate script.

How to configure Sql Server 2008 R2 for debugging without disabling Windows Firewall?

When I try to debug a procedure in Sql Server 2008 R2 I get a dialog box telling me to unblock some ports.
>>
The Windows Firewall on this machine is currently blocking remote debugging. Remote debugging requiers that the debugger be allowed to receive informatino from the network. Remote debugging also requires DCOM (TCP Port 135) and IPSEC (UDP 4500
/ UDP 500) be unblocked.
<<
I went to the Windows Firewall and added some new Inbound rules for each of the specified ports (in the images below. But after this and rebooting entire computer -- I still get this dialog box when I want to go into debug mode from SSMS. I can
actually kind of debug standalone code in the SSMS window if I cancel the dialog box. But I can't debug an actual stored procedure -- which is what I need to do. I also noticed that my server has an IP address instead of LocalHost. This is
not a public Server -- it's my private development machine which is on a peer to peer network (with one other workstation), but I don't need that workstation to be able to access this server.. Would localholst make a difference for debugging? How
should I configure the sql server? The firewall?

Use PRINT and SELECT for debugging. That's what I do. I used to play with the debugger in SQL 2000 and older days, but I realised that I spent more time on getting it to work that I gained from using it.
I thought about that. I guess that IS the way to go. Very well. Thank you for the suggestion. Although, when the debugger does work in the regular window (not a stored proc because it doesn't work there) the debugger IS nice.
For debugging my proc I am thinking I will insert param vals into a test collection table for now. One obscure error I am getting with a particular proc -- in a When loop on one parameter I get the "value will be truncated" error -- but everything
is set to accept 1000 characters and none of the source data even comes close to 1000 characters. I have isolated at what point the error occurs and which section of data where the error is occurring but I have not isolated the cause of the error.
I cannot reproduce the error when I run the procedure by hand in a regular query window with the exact same code. The error only occurs when the code is run in the stored proc.
