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
Restore of database failed. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.RelationalEngineTasks)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The database was backed up on a server running version 8.00.2039. That version is incompatible with this server, which is running version 11.00.3128. Either restore the database on a server that supports the backup, or use a
backup that is compatible with this server. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

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 set SQL Server Login MUST_CHANGE, CHECK_POLICY, CHECK_EXPIRATION all to OFF with T-SQL

How to set SQL Server Login MUST_CHANGE, CHECK_POLICY, CHECK_EXPIRATION all to OFF with T-SQL. SSMS will not allow me to change policies to OFF. Error: 15128 - The CHECK_POLICY and CHECK_EXPIRATION options cannot be turned OFF when MUST_CHANGE is
on. I am attempting to change these options in a test environment. Thanks, Richard

It appears you have to change the password first(it could the same password but an alter command needs to be done)

How to let sql server 2008 know the table created at front end in c#

How to let sql server 2008 know the table created at front end in c#

The best solution is to create table type and pass the DataTable as table-valued parameter. I have an article on my web site about this:
http://www.sommarskog.se/arrays-in-sql-2008.html
The full article is a bit of overkill for what you are doing right now, but just the few first pages should get you going.

How to find sql server backup was taken under compression mode

Hello,
How to find SQL server backup was taken under compression mode ? I have disabled the Compress Mode backup setting but I want to make sure the backup is taken without compression.
Is there a script for that?
Thanks
JK

I have disabled the Compress Mode backup
That is only a default setting, in backup command you can always overwrite it to a different value.

How to convert SQL Server hierarchical query (CTE) to Oracle?

See: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_10002.htm#i2129904
Ah, just spotted it's a delete statement - you won't be able to do it using subquery factoring in Oracle.
I had a go at trying to convert for you, but notice that you reference the cte from inside the cte... I can only assume you have a table called cte too...
DELETE FROM dbo.tb1
WHERE col1 = 12
OR col2 IN (SELECT col1 FROM cte)

How to add sql server (SQLEXPRESS) AND sql server Agent(SQLEXPRESS) in sql server Configuration Manager

When I had uninstall Sql Server 2008 R2, that time I had uninstalled instances (SQLEXPRESS and MSSQLSERVER) and again installed sql server 2008 r2 setup .
Before uninstalling from control panel >Uninstall program showed two setups
1) Microsoft sql server 2) Microsoft sql server R2 , I uninstalled both.
As i installed SQL R2 again, it is showing only 1 instance ie "Microsoft sql server R2" but the other instance is some how missing -"Microsoft sql server" and
also sql server (SQLEXPRESS) AND sql server Agent(SQLEXPRESS) services from sql server configuration manager are missing
How to retain the missing instance and the above services?
Plz give replay

Hi Tushar,
I need to ask you a question here.
Why you require SQL Express edition on your machine, if there is no need you can safely ignore it and continue using SQL Server 2008 R2 edition.
Express edition can also get installed if you happen to have installed Visual Studio 2010 for instance.
If you need it then you must install SQL Server Express edition, It is a freeware and can be download from Microsoft website.

How to upgrade SQL Server 2012 SSMS

I have SQL Server 2012 SSMS (11.0.3000.0) on my machine, however this crashes at least 5-8 times a day. So I want to try to apply KB2874879. But when I try to install it I can't progress because it says there is no instance found to apply. I only want
to update the SSMS, I'm not running any local instance on that machine. How can I get SSMS to the latest version ?

Hi,
According to your description, I know the SQL Server Management Studio always crashes on the client machine and there is no SQL Server was installed on that machine.
KB2874879 is cumulative update package 6 for Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 and it should be installed on SQL Server. And install CU6 does not guarantee it will resolve the SQL Server Management Studio crash issue on the client machine. If the
SQL Server Management Studio is corrupted, you need to perform a repair installation from the Installation Center.
Thanks.
