Thank you and best regards

> so i have actually no clou how can i copy live database to a test database??
You can't copy a "running" database using explorer and copying the files over. The proper way of copying a system can be found in the system copy guides in addition to

Restore Database 2008 to 2005

I have Database .mdf and .ldf file for the version of 2008. but I have need to attach 2005 format. but I can not do this
anyone please help.

Hello,
It is not possible to restore/attach a SQL Server database to a previous Version (2008 to 2005). You have to install the same Version or you have to script out all database objects + data.

Hi,
You need to install SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2
Download
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11093, you are currently running the RTM and the backup was from Version 10.50.4000 and your attempting to restore to version 10.00.1600.
To find your current SQL Version open a New Query and paste the following then execute
SELECT @@VERSION AS 'SQL Server Version

Issue in rebuilding index after restoring database from sql server 2005 to 2012

Hi All,
We have recently restored a database named DBA_admin from our sql server 2005 instance to sql server 2012 and we have added the database to out weekly maintenance plan. After adding the database to maintenance plan the job is failing every weekend due to
below error message.
Error message from maintenance plan history:
Executing the query "ALTER INDEX [PK_lsttype] ON [dbo].[lstAssign..." failed with the following error: "Invalid object name 'admin.dbo.databaselog'.
ALTER_INDEX - dbo.PK_lsttype". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
Below is the code within the maintenance plan which the rebuild index task is using for database dba_admin:
USE [dba_admin]
GO
ALTER INDEX [PK_lstType] ON [dbo].[lstType] REBUILD PARTITION = ALL WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 98, DATA_COMPRESSION = PAGE)
Please let me know if any one knows how to fix this issue.
Thanks in Advance.

Sorry for the confusion.
Here is what is happening.
The query is failing while trying to rebuild index [Pk_lsttype] on table [lstAssign], both these objects belong to database
admin.
I have verified the old instance there is table databaselog within the database
dba_admin, but in new SQL instance within the database dba_admin the table is not present.
Even I'm not sure of what this table databaselog has to do with rebuilding indexes on table
lstAssign within the admin database.
I have manually tried to execute the alter index command within the database
admin and it is failing with the below error.
ALTER_TABLE - dbo.Query_pnb_sms
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure ddlDatabaseTriggerLog, Line 39
Invalid object name 'dba_admin.dbo.databaselog'.

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 ?

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

Hi Rajeev
step 1) Install SQL Server 2005.
step 2) Install [SAP Business One|http://www.brio.co.in/products/sap-business-one/] 2005
step 3) Get the new license key for your windows 2003 server if you dont have
step 4) Create a company with same name and database name this will create a company record in SBOCommon database
step 5) Take the backup of the database of the company in MS SQL 2000.
step 6) Restore it on your windows 2003 and sql server 2005 system
step 7) Download an upgrade for 2005 to 2007 from software download center

Connect Non-SAP Oracle db (32bit) in sql 2005 (64 bit) using linked server

Hi,
I am connecting Oracle 10g database from SQL 2005 using linked server, in which i get the error
"Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "L2ORACLE".
OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "L2ORACLE" returned message "Oracle client and networking components
were not found. " (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)
SAP Server with sql 2005 db is in 64 bit server / Windows 2003
Non-SAP Oracle 10g is in 32 bit windows 2003 server.
i have installed Oracle 64 bit client in the SAP Server and also copied the 64 bit version of dboraslib.dll to the DIR_LIBRARY path. I am able to view the oracle tables in the oracle client.
But, when i create the linked server, it gives the above error.
If i install 32 bit version of Oracle client in the SAP Server, i am able to create the linked server in the db level, but, it says "Work Process restarted, session terminated" message in the Z program in SAP.
The same works in the test environment where both are 32 bit servers. problem is when SAP server is in 64 bit and non sap is in 32 bit.
Please suggest.
Thanks and Regards,
Nagu

check the workprocess traces for errors (and/or SM21). It seems that the system is "not aware" that an Oracle client is installed.
64bit programs can´t load 32bit libraries/DLLs that´s why the workprocess dumps when you use the 32bit client.

SQL 2005 with ERP2005 (ECC 6.0) Unicode

Hi All,
I need a few questions to be answered.
Can anybody tell me as to what would be the initial size of the database after an installation of ECC 6.0 Unicode with database as SQL 2005.
Is there any minimum hardware requirements that would have to be taken into consideration before an installation is planned.
Can anyone help me in deciding whether MSCS services or Manual Log shipping would be preferred for Failovers.....
Regards
Anand

<b>Sizing</b>
Hardware sizing should be completed by your SAP partner. Its based on many things. Users, modules, storage volumes, peek, BP, workloads etc etc.
You can do the 'noddy' version with the sapsize on OSS. The output from this is in 'SAPs' you could look up std systems bench marks and get something 'like' it. Else submit the results to the hardware vendor of your choice and they will do it for you.
<b>System Redundancy</b>
Depends what you are trying to do.
MSCS is a fail over HARDWARE only solution. ie if you want to patch or take a node out of service you can by 'failing over' the services on it to the other node. If you get a DB problem MSCS can not help you at all.
Log shipping gives you 'rapid' recovery options for SQL(and there in SAP). The way this normally works is via either manual or automatic log-shipping to a 'standby' system with SQL/SAP loaded on it that can be brought online if you get a problem with the main system.
A well planned system will have fail-over and recovery capabilities, ie it will use BOTH.

B1i (2005) installation failedSo far: windows XP, MS-SQL 2005 express: ok

Dear All,
I try to install B1i for NW 2005 on a SBO 2005B installation. I have installed all prerequisites like JDK, MSXML, Tomcat (no blanks in path). When running the setup program and after all information gathered, the connection to the MS-SQL 2005 database succeeds and the final installation step starts but returns the message:
"Initail database failed, make sure Tomcat or mini-http is shut down and please check your database's status and try again"
Looking into MS-SQL shows a database beeing created named localhost/B1i. Tomcat and mini-http are definately shut down. When starting Tomcat, it is accessible via http://localhost:8080.
System Parameters:
windows server 2003
SBO 2005B
java: 1.4.2.19
tomcat 5.5.27 including compat package for 1.4.2.19)
sql jdbc 1.2.2828.100
msxml 4.0 SP 2
I can not find an error in the system. Is there a way to diagnose what is happening and does anyone have an idea where the problem lies?
Ciao, Mathias
[Update]
I have tried JDBC 2.0.1008 and JDBC 2.0.1607 - both lead to a fatal error when trying to connect to the database. I assume this is due to Java JDK 1.4.2 as JDBC requires Java 5.0 (1.5.0)
Does anybody know if I can use JDK 1.5.0_17 instead of 1.4.2_19?
[Update 2]
I have tried to install the B1i on two other servers with identical setup and it worked. However, this will not help me with this machine... On the other side, it shows, that there is nothing wrong with the procedure I am using
I found by the way: B1i works fine with MSSQL 2005 Express, it works with jdk 1.5.0.17 (and then JDBC 2.0)
[Update 3]
So far:
windows XP, MS-SQL 2005 express: ok
windows XP, MS-SQL 2005 express, SBO2005A: ok
windows 2003, MS-SQL 2005 SBO2005A: fail
windows 2003, MS-SQL 2005 SBO2005B: fail
windows 2003, MS-SQL 2005 SBO2007A: ok
windows 2003, MS-SQL 2005 Netweaver 2004S: fail
Unfortunately the three servers where it fails are the ones I need to use for production
The precise error state is that the install routine creates the database in SQL 2005 and then reports that it can not create the database. Is there something I should check in SQL 2005?
Edited by: Mathias Wilhelm on Feb 11, 2009 5:17 PM

Salut Eddy,
I tried it with tomcat 5.0.30 - no success. JDK is 1.4.2.19
I tried it with tomcat 5.5.27 - no success. JDK was 1.4.2.19 and 1.5.17
I checked the database: The structure is created but the tables are not created. As the user 'sa' has full admin rights it must be with the access path to the database that is wrong. What I do not understand is, why the installation routine is able to connect to the database to create B1i and then unable to create the tables. I checked in the log files of the db and found no error messages. I tested this as well by using a wrong password for sa or a wrong user. In both cases, the installation routine fails already when checing the existence of B1i database
[Update]
In the meantime:
Checked permissions on database
Checked that administrator is member of local admin group
Checked JAVA_HOME environment variable
Found collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS for working setup and SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS in failing setup
Checked all security settings by comparing to working setup
Checked event viewer and found no errors
Checked all log files and found no errors
Checked that sa can create tables manually in localhost\B1i

SQL 2005 Upgrade

Hello all,
I upgraded my UCCE environment to CCE 7.5.5 in May but have not upgraded the Logger, HDS & AW databases to SQL 2005 yet.
Our standard procedure is to give at least 48 hour notice of a potential outage to service and I have missed that deadline due to lab testing and issues.
My question is regarding the 90 day window after the initial upgrade and what effect will it have on my databases if I do not upgrade it by before the 90 days is up?
So far I have not seen any notifications regarding the necessity of an upgrade.
Thanks in advance.
Troy

You should have no issues. 90 days is an official supportability stance. they want you to go to SQL 2005 as soon as possible, but you system will not cease to function after that 90 days expire.
If you were to open a service request they may ask you to upgrade before they perform any troubleshooting on your issue, so it would be in your best interest to upgrade as soon as possible.

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.
Regards,
Kawish Junaid Mazhari

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

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.

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 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
