Restoring a SQL Server 2005 DB to a SQL Server 2014 install, is there any way to prevent it from being upgraded

Does anyone know if there is a flag I can use to prevent a SQL Server 2005 database from being upgraded to SQL 2014 when it is restored to a 2014 instance?
Don't ask why, I just need to know if this is possible or if 2005/8 DB's are required to be upgraded if they are going to run on SQL 2012/2014 instances. The documentation seems to say this is so, I just want to verify that.

First: You cannot directly restore a 2005 database to
2014. MS supports migration over 3 SQL Server version steps; means you can restore 2005 to 2008/2008R2/2012, but not to 2014. You have to do a migration step between.
Olaf I was looking for this today, because I'm working with a new customer that have SQL 2005 and I have SQL 2014. And needed to restore a backup form the production server in my test server.
When I read what you write I think, oh no!! I have to install SQL 2012 in my server. But that it's not an option for me, and I say let me try to restore the DB first in 2014 and if not work install 2012.
You can restore a 2005 database to 2014 directly, and it works.
For reference the version number in the servers 2005 (9.0.4035 SP3) and 2014 (12.0.2000 RTM)
This is not related in any way to the original question that you answered (the file format will be upgraded to the new motor, that is sure).
I put this lines because in the future there will be some people searching about if possible to restore a 2005 DB to 2014, and like me will read your lines and think it's not possible and that can make a decision to buy 2012 and not 2014 to that new server they
will migrate.

  • IPhone4 16GB black with iOS 4.1.2 until it was disabled last July 4, 2014. Is there any way i can re-enter my passcode without restoring it.

    Someone tried to unlock my iPhone4 16GB black with iOS 4.1.2 until it was disabled last July 4, 2014. Is there any way i can re-enter my passcode without restoring it. I also could not connect it to my last sync NoteBook since it Memory Dumped an still cannot open it til now.
    Please help me, i have all the Legal Documents to prove that it is mine and i purchased it with Receipts.
    I hope there is a way to re-type my passcode.

    If you haven't already, restart the ipad by holding home and power for ten seconds until the apple appears.
    There may be an app that is draining the battery.
    Try the following:
    1) Kill all apps by double-tapping the home button, then holding any app's icon until it displays the ' - ' symbol. Touch the ' - ' symbol on all apps. This stops the app.
    2) Go to airplane mode to turn off wifi and 3G, if so equipped.
    3) recheck the battery life by using an offline-only app, like a game, for an hour or so and see if the battery seems to last longer than before.
    Typical battery life is a drain of 10% per hour. Your mileage may vary.
    If the battery is lasting longer, you need to isolate what is causing the drain.
    4) If still rapidly draining, try going to Settings, General, Reset, reset all settings.
    5) If none of this gave you any change in the battery life, you may want to do a restore of the ipad from within itunes.

  • Is there any way of importing stuffs from Microsoft Access to SQL Server?

    I have quite a big store of information Microsoft Access DB, but now i am required to switch to SQL Server?
    Is there any way of importing to SQL Server, either by Java programming or manually?
    Thank you in advance.

    I like to give some tips on how to fulfil the requirement.. I haven't tried this. If you succeeded, it is well and good.
    1) Using Java:
    If you like to Java to import the data from MS Access to SQL Server, you have to write a JDBC Program in such a way that it has to retrieve the data from each MSAccess tables and store it in temperory java varaible.After writng into the temp. varaibles, the same thing will be written into SQL Server. The whole process is repeated for all the tables in MS Access.
    2) Manual Process:
    Try to get the data scripts from MS-Access for all the tables and Load the same into SQL Server
    I hope that Manual Process consumes less time compared in writing the codes for transformation..
    I hope that you got some idea on reading this. If you have any doubts, try to get back to me..

  • Is there any way to obtain time from an NTP server in LabView?

    I would like to be able to obtain time from and NTP server and then use that to set the time on a PCI IRIG-B card. I haven't been able to find any LabView documentation indicating if this is possible or not through LabView.

    Check: Code library -> Browse by Company -> NASA -> Timesync.
    It's a NIST time syncronizer. I never checked it myself, but NIST has NTP servers so this may help you on your way.

  • Is there any way to remove "sudo" from the server?

    sudo can do a lot of things which root can do. I tried the following to remove, but got failed message. Is there any graceful way?
    Or, maybe I don't have to remove it, by default, nobody can use sudo to run root only commands, unless I give them priviledge to do so by using "visudo", right?
    Please advice, Thanks!
    Edited by: 943714 on Aug 27, 2012 11:59 AM

    The idea of the sudo command is to give a user root access without the need to tell them the root password. When the user is not already root the sudo command will ask the user for the current user account password. This is to prevent that someone uses the sudo command in case your session gets hijacked. There is usually a default timeout. As long as you enter another sudo command within 5 minutes of the last sudo command, you won't have to enter your password.
    The visudo command is typcially used to edit the /etc/sudoers file, which defines which users or groups are allowed to use the sudo command and to which commands or group of commands it applies. For instance if you make an entry in the /etc/sudoers file to allow a certain user to use all commands, then the user can enter "sudo su -" to become root without having to know the root password.

  • Is there any way to activate the keep identity setting when using a Transfer SQL Server Object Task?

    Is there any way to add the "Keep Identity" option to the tables selected for transfer in a Transfer SQL Server Object Task?  It seems that would be very useful, yet I can't find an easily available setting for it.  I would prefer to
    accomplish this within the Transfer SQL Server Object Task since it can copy any new fields added to the source tables, as opposed to having to rebuild a custom Data Flow Task any time a table structure is altered.  I thought setting "CopyPrimaryKeys"
    to True would do the trick, but I found that only ensures that the column settings are transferred; when the transfer happens, the destination id column is populated based on the specified seed and increment value, not what's actually in the source table. 
    I'd like to point out that replication isn't really an option here. This is a package that runs a few times a day to keep some data on our website up to date with data in our protected corporate environment.

    IIRW there is FastLoadKeepIdentity specifies
    whether to keep an identity in OLEDB destination

    Back from where?
    You choose to not copy them off to a computer as they are designed to be.
    If they are no longer showing in iCloud, they are gone.

  • Is there any way to restore my pre-Lion Server localhost environment?

    I bought Lion Server with the intention of running Wordpress demonstrations for clients, but it's been nothing but a headache. After 2 days of wrangling with the solution, I managed to install Wordpress, but other problems arose (created pages going in the wrong folders and such) -- such that it is functionally unusable. I tried looking for solutions on Wordpress's side, but the truth is that Lion Server just isn't compatible with Wordpress.
    In addition to wasting $60, I'm stuck with a faulty localhost envionrment where I cannot properly work with and test Wordpress. Is there any way to go back to just using MAMP?
    Thanks.

  • Is there any way to backup Azure SQL regularly by scheduled job ?

    Is there any way to backup Azure SQL regularly  by scheduled job  ?

    there's really no equivalent of a SQL Server-like type of backup that you schedule using SQLAgent, however you can have scheduled exports, see this
    link: 
    Note that Azure SQL Databases also has built-in backups for self-service restores, see this

  • Is there any way to restore data truncated with TRUNCATE query in Oracle9i

    Hi, Is there any way to restore data truncated with TRUNCATE query in Oracle9i DB...
    Thanks in advance...

    Hi,
    you can flash back DML queries like insert, update
    but it is not possible for some DDL like truncate, alter, and and drop columns etc that change structure of table.
    e.g.
    SQL> select * from t2;
    C1
    3
    SQL> select dbms_flashback.get_system_change_number from dual;
    GET_SYSTEM_CHANGE_NUMBER
    496378
    SQL> truncate table t2;
    Table truncated.
    SQL> select * from t2 as of scn(496378);
    select * from t2 as of scn(496378)
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01466: unable to read data - table definition has changed

  • Is there any way I may set low resources priority for a specific job or even all SQL jobs?

    Is there any way I may set low resources priority for a specific job or even all SQL jobs? 
    Our database is quite big and everything works OK and very fast, except SQL jobs which are used mainly for maintenance purposes.
    I have one specific job which runs for 2 minutes and takes a lot of resources which may affect execution of other stored procedure which should be executed fast.The worst part is that this job has to be executed during the most active working hours. It does
    not matter for me how long will it take to execute this job. I just do not want it to use so much resources.
    Also I noticed when SQL backup job (takes about 4 minute) is scheduled it also takes a lot of resources and sometimes because of that I am receiving "login timeout" error on my web site.

     depending on you sql server version and edition, you can use resource governor and limit the cpu and memory.
    in most typical cases , you can use the session user name and times and classify the how much cpu and memory they can use. refer : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645892.aspx
    but in your case, the problem seems to be with the maintenance jobs which could run as sql server service account.
    also, if the backup are third party tool backup, you can specify the priority level and other options etc to make it less priority.
    it is possible to do that even with native backups such as specifying the limiting buffercount, max transfer size, if the server is memory pressured. sometimes, stripping the backups to multiple sets across different devices, could help as well. even though
    stripping the backups can introduce another complexity.
    may be you need to rethink you back up\recovery strategy.
    Hope it Helps!!
