Restoration at sql 2005 from sql 2000 backup.

Hi experts,
Is it possible to restore a backup taken from sql 2000 database to sql 2005 database?
And how about attaching datafiles of sql2000 into sql 2005 server?
Thanks and Regards,
Amit Jana.

Yes its possible.

Same method of attach/deattach.
But recommanded you first install 2000 instance restore database and do inplace sql 2005 upgrade.
Why you can't follow recommanded mothed ?

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 ...

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

Upgrading sql 2005 from sp to sp 3

hi all
i have a question. i need to upgrade my sql 2005 from sp 2 to sp 3 on my live environment because windows7 needs sp3. would there be any issues if i upgrade to sp3?
i just download sp3 into my server and run it?
thanks!
prem

Hi Prem,
Windows7 is not officially supported yet. If you have issue, it must be related to windows7. SP3 should not be an issue.
Thanks,

Gathering physical memory for SQL 2005..SQL 2014

Hi All,
I'm trying to write a query to gather physical memory across my SQL servers (from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012).
However, the sys.dm_os_sys_info DMV (the column for physical memory) is not the same after the switch to SQL 2012+.
Here is the original query:
SELECT
@@SERVERNAME AS ServerName,
CASE WHEN LEFT(CAST(serverproperty('productversion') as char), 1) = 9 THEN '2005'
WHEN LEFT(CAST(serverproperty('productversion') as char), 4) = 10.0 THEN '2008'
WHEN LEFT(CAST(serverproperty('productversion') as char), 4) = 10.5 THEN '2008R2'
WHEN LEFT(CAST(serverproperty('productversion') as char), 2) = 11 THEN '2012'
END AS MajorVersion,
SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel') AS MinorVersion,
SERVERPROPERTY('productversion') AS FullVersion,
SERVERPROPERTY ('edition') AS Edition,
SERVERPROPERTY('collation') as Collation,
cpu_count as CpuCount,
physical_memory_in_bytes/1024/1024 as PhysMemMB
FROM [sys].[dm_os_sys_info]
If I run that on SQL 2014, it fails because 'physical_memory_in_bytes' is now called 'physical_memory_kb'
I tried to do an IF..THEN..ELSE:
IF (cast(serverproperty('productversion') as char) like '11.%')
Then change the query accordingly but it would fail because i guess when it tried to parse the whole code, one of the T-SQL variations would have a column that did not exist in that particular version of SQL Server.
Is there a way I can get physical memory across SQL 2005..SQL 2012 or rewrite the T-SQL above to be able to run on both?
Thanks in advance

Oh it seemed like you are asking SQL Server memory. the name for physical memory column ha changed only in SQL Server 2012. I wrote below script just first run select SERVERPROPERTY('ResourceVersion') to get exact resource database version of
SQL Server 2012 and then replace it in below script
IF cast ( SERVERPROPERTY('ResourceVersion') as char (10) )= '11.00.2000'--2012 resource database version
select (physical_memory_kb/1024)as Physical_mem_MB from sys.dm_os_sys_info
else
select (physical_memory_in_bytes/1024/1024) as physical_mem_MB from sys.dm_os_sys_info
Edit: A more optimized query
If cast (LEFT( CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('ResourceVersion') AS VARCHAR(20)),2) as INT) in ('11','12')
select (physical_memory_KB/1024) as Physical_Mem_MB from sys.dm_os_sys_info
--else it uses for 2005-08R2
else select (physical_memory_in_bytes/1024/1024) as Physical_Mem_MB from sys.dm_os_sys_info

Hi Shanky,
Doesn't work and that's what I meant in my initial post..when I run that code against a SQL 2012 instance, it parses fine but when I execute it I get:
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 6
Invalid column name 'physical_memory_in_bytes'.

Convert SSIS SQL 2005 to SQL 2008

Hi!
We have problem converting our SSIS package from SQL 2005 to SQL 2008.
When we try to to open our SSIS package from SQL 2005 in SQL 2008 BIDS we get an error.
We don´t get the old BPC tasks in Visual Studio 2008 just the new ones, can this be the problem? And how can we solve this?

All,
Usually, User can use MS migration tool for converting DTS to SSIS.
Here are something user needs to do
    1. after convert, user should replace Some custom tasks from 4.2 version to 7M version.
    2. Sometimes MS migration tool makes wrong conversion like connection. We need to fix it manually.
    3. If user is using some specific tasks like Data mining tasks, Migration tool doesn't support
        This is the only case that user should create package again.
    Except #3 case, all existing packages could convert to SSIS package easily,
    I converted a customers 4.2 DTS packages to 7 version recently and converting one package only took 5 minutes -10 minutes including test.
    As I know, SAP is preparing HOW TO DO as WebCast very soon.
    Please wait a little bit more.
Thank you
James
For the answer of this thread, sometimes you need to restart SSIS services at Appserver after you MS patches or add new tasks , I think it is a bug of MS but please try it.

HT1766 If I restore my new iphone from my last backup will it delete all of the new things that i have on my phone

If i restore my new iphone from my last backup will it delete all of the new content that I currently have on my phone? would it be better off to set it up as a new iphone? and if i set it up as a new iphone what will that do?

If you restore from your last backup, it will replace what you now have on your phone. If you set it up as new, you will have a phone just out of the box without any of your data on it. You can download any apps again. You can sync your music through iTunes.

I had to restore my iphone 5 from an icloud backup; how can i get all my imessages back on my phone? why isnt it syncing from icloud?

I had to restore my iphone 5 from an icloud backup from a week ago. everything restored fine, but it only brought back my imessages up to the backup date (a week ago); but all the messages up to today are on my mac messages app on my macbook air; how can i get them all back on my phone? why isnt it syncing from icloud automatically if its still available on my mac? Thanks for any help!

iCloud doesn't sync iMessages. They are sent from the iMessage server to your devices, not synced between devices. I don't think you'll be able to get these messages back on your phone, but you should be receiving any new messages.

You can also use the 'start' command.
You may also want to look in the SQLPlus User Guide and Reference (for your release) at the set command for commands to set the number of lines per page, turn headings on or off, and so on:

Restore one hard disk from Time Machine backup

Is it possible to restore only one disk from Time machine backup? I have a SSD with OSX 10.8.5 on it while user folders are on a separate 4TB hard drive. I also have a Time Machine volume for backups. Yesterday the user drive failed beyond repair, but fortunatly I do have a recent backup. When I tried to resotre following insructions provided in the Time Machine manual, it does not give me an option to resore a specific disk from the backup, and tries to resotre only the System disk backup, in this case the SSD. Is there a way to restore a disk on which no system is installed?

How can I restore Parental Control Settings from Time Machine Backup?

I was trying to adjust one of the parental controlled accounts for my child. I disabled parental controls, rebooted, and re-enabled it. Now all the settings that I had setup before are gone. How can I restore Parental Control Settings from Time Machine Backup?

Hi ...
I've found a solution to my problem.
Time Machine locates extenal HDD backups differently depending if they were done via a network or via a USB/FireWire/Thunderbolt connection.
My initial backup was done via a direct Thunderbolt connection. I ran into the above issue b/c the second time when I tried looking for the backup file the HDD was conencted to my iMac and I was accessing it via a network conenction.
I simply connected the drive directly to my MacBook pro and ... voila. I was able to see the backup, select the iPhoto library and begin the restore.
Hope this helps.
BTW - I found this out by reading the 'blue box' selection on this page: http://pondini.org/TM/E2.html
(Thanks goes to Pondini!)

I restored my iPad 2 from the iTunes backup but my music, audio books and iBooks are all missing.

I restored my iPad 2 from the iTunes backup but my music, audio books and iBooks are all missing. It seems only the Apps were restored and settings. Anyone else had this problem?

Oh and the bizarre thing was that when I opened iBooks for the first time after the restore it showed all the books in the open collection and then they vanished in front of my eyes!
