Upgrade from SQL 2005 standard to later release

Hi,
Currently have an SQL 2005 ( Enterprise) licence, is it possible to upgrade this licence to 2008 / 2012 or do you need to purchase a brand new lic?
Any idea on cost - roughly. Cheaper to buy upgrade or full
The software I'm looking to implement required minimum 2008 SQL backend

Hi,
If your licenses to SQL 2005 did not include software assurance to get you to 2008 R2, then you will have to buy new license again.
Now Microsoft Issues license only to SQL Server 2012 & 2014, also licensing has changed from processor based to core based.
You better talk to MS licensing folks on their toll free nos for better understanding.
meantime you can refer below MS licencing doc.

Upgrade from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server Express 2014 Enterprise

I was just wondering if it is possible to upgrade from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server Express or will I have to build the environment and then migrate the database?
Thanks for any help

Hi Lance_Romance,
As others’ posts, you don’t have to build new environment and then migrate databases between SQL Server instances, you can use the in-place upgrade strategy to upgrade from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2014 .Please note that SQL Server 2005 SP4 is required
in this case.
Before upgrading , I recommend you to use
upgrade advisor, it can help to analyze your existing SQL Server deployment and inform you of issues that need to be addressed. In addition, please perform a full server backup prior to performing the in-place upgrade, which will be an important way
to revert your SQL Server to its previous state if the upgrade does not go as planned. For more details, please review this blog:

CRS Editor - Retrieving Timestamp database field from SQL 2005

Hello -
For the life of me, I cannot retrieve a database timestamp field from SQL 2005.
I have successfully used 'cast(Date as char(30)) as DateStr' to convert to string but the DBRead statement displays the original object only as java.lang.Timestamp. Any posts regarding this topic usually require Java skill sets above my level (creating new java class for import,...).
There has to be an easy way to do this without being a Java programmer, yes?
Any help here would greatly be appreciated!
Thanks

Andy,
I'm guessing you know that this isn't really a date/time value in MS SQL. According to Microsoft:
The Transact-SQL timestamp data type is not the same as the timestamp data type defined in the SQL-92 standard. The SQL-92 timestamp data type is equivalent to the Transact-SQL datetime data type.
But to your question how to get the timestamp value out in a string...You'll want to use the convert function:
select convert(varchar(10),myTimestampField) from myTable
That will return the hex value in the column in a string format. Also, when you retrieve the data, are you looking at the original table (which specifies the column is a timestamp), or did you create a dummy table with the columns named and formatted the way the data will be returned that UCCX can look at for the schema? If it doesn't have the correct schema to look at, you'll have problems.

Upgrading to SQL 2005

Hello,
I have a couple of questions regarding upgrading from sql server 2000 to sql server 2005.
I will have to do a side by side upgrade, so the sql server instance name will have to be different. How do I point the SAP B1 server tools (especially the license server) at the new database server instance?
Are there any pitfalls to watch out for in doing the upgrade.
I know the company database and the sbo-common have to be transferred, is there anything else?
Any and all suggestions and advice is greatly appreciated.
Jim

Hi Jim,
it's nothing special.
when you have the new sql instance on the same server its very easy:
you don't need to reinstall the server tools.
just install the new sql server as a new instance and copy sbocommon and companies to your new server.
correct the client settings with
Button "Change Server" in the "Choose Company" Window
and you're done
regards
David

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 from Oracle 10G standard edition to Oracle 10G enterprise edition

Hi
I want to upgrade from Oracle 10G standard edition to Oracle 10G enterprise edition. Is there any script provided by oracle which I can run on existing Oracle 10G standard edition to upgrade to enterprise edition after completing the licensing formalities or do I need to install Oracle 10g Enterprise edition from scratch and then migrate my data.
Ramanbir S

You will not need to perform any data migration to upgrade to EE. The diffetence between standard en enerprise editions are the features offered. When you upgrade you can use the same set of files you used to install standard edition and just add the enterprise edition features you want to use in the 'Custom' section of the Universal Installer.

Sql 2005 standard edition for sql and AS databases with bpc 7.0 sp3 ?

hello
Install guide tells that we must use SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition with BPC except for Reporting Services.
Customer asks wether he could use SQL 2005 Standard Edition for SQL database and Analysis Services ?
Thanks.

Hello Sorin. Two more questions, please:
1) what do you mean by "Also into Application server you need EE because only in this version you have control flow." ?
Is "control flow" "business process flow" new functionality ?
2) On the other hand, I don't think that BPC admin task is able to handle lite or full optimize without an Enterprise Edition Client.
But customer asks wether it is possible to install on application server
- SSIS standard edition for SSIS service
- SSRS standard edition for Reporting Services
- SQL client Enterprise Edition to let BPC admin task handle lite and full optimize properly.
Why all this ? Because Enterprise Edition costs ten times more than Standard Edition and in a multi-server configuration, customer has to buy several SQL Server licenses, one per server running at least one SQL server service. (For example, with SQL,SSIS and OLAP on one server, and SSIS and SSRS running on the application server, customer has to buy two SQL servers licenses).
Thanks. R.

Can I upgrade from Acrobat XI Standard to Pro?

Can I upgrade from Acrobat XI Standard to Pro?

As I indicated, the store gives an upgrade from Std to Pro, though I think the price is not appropriate. If you go to the basic page for Acrobat, they are no pushing the subscription version. If you do to the buying guide you get the regular version option (http://www.adobe.com/content/dotcom/en/products/acrobatpro/buying-guide.html). The upgrade is $199, which I think is crazy. Something like $70 is more appropriate, the difference in cost between Std and Pro upgrades, or at least $150 for the difference of the full products. If the Std had been an upgrade, the cost of a full upgrade is not reasonable. Anyway, a screen capture of the cost is below:
So apparently the guys on the chat have no clue what they are talking about. However, that does not surprise me. What bothers me is some of the unreasonable pricing as I see it in the store.

Installing upgrade from Acrobat XI Standard to Acrobat Xi Pro

I am trying to install an upgrade from Acrobat 11 Standard to Acrobat 11 Pro. I have purchased and upgrade license. When I try to install the Pro upgrade, I get a message that a product with higher functions is already installed and it terminates the install. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I would recommend you uninstall Std, run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, remove any left over Acrobat folder parts (in Program Files>Adobe), reboot, and install. You will likely have to give the S/N for Std as the qualifying product for XI Pro.

Upgrading to SQL 2005 from 2000?

I have a very large database in 2000 and I'm thinking of
requesting that
it be moved to 2005. I've heard that 2005 is faster and I've
seen the
interface for it and it looks like it combines Query analyzer
with the
standard interface tools. Enterprise Manager is just so
limited and clunky.
Do you think I'd run into problems with my site if I had them
update to
a new SQL database? Any pitfalls? Warnings? What should I
look out for?
Is it worth it for the new security and interface features?
Thanks

I would say wait a short while longer and upgrade to SQL
Server 2008. It
seems pointless going through the upgrade now when the next
version is
already on our doorstep.
A word of warning. There is no downgrade option once you have
upgraded so
run the built in Upgrade Advisor before you do anything (if
you have that
option) and also check that all your T-SQL code is ANSI
compliant as
non-ANSI compliant code will not work in SQL 2005 or 2008.
See:
http://www.sql-server-performance.com/faq/query_uses_nonansi_outerjoin_p1.aspx
for more info.
Also, remember that you will not have the option of
scheduling any DTS
packages from 2000 as these will need to be re-built as SSIS
packages if you
want them to run them as Jobs, although you can still execute
them manually
(if that is a feasible option) with the assistance of the DTS
add-on that is
a free download from Microsoft.
Just be very careful that all is in place before you upgrade
and make sure
you take a full database backup before you upgrade (including
system DB's)
in case you need to re-install 2000 and rebuild the
databases.

Upgrading from SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition [ENU] to SQL Server 2008 Express Edition OR HIGHER for Microsoft Security Compliance Manager

I have downloaded the MS Security Compliance Manager, which is in two parts: MS SQL Server 2008 Express Edition & the SCM. The install instructions state the the server needs to be install before the SCM. So as the install continues I get
an error message, which cancels the installation. So, I am trying to install SQL 2008 EE separate from SCM. My question is:
Can I upgrade from my current SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition [ENU]
directly to SQL Server 2008 Express Edition (or higher)?

So as the install continues I get an error message, which cancels the installation.
And which error message did you got?
SQL Server Compact Edition is something different then SQL Server Express (or Standard) Edition, you can't upgrade it as you asked for,.

Upgrade from SQL 2000 to 2005

In our test environment, we are on 2005 SP01 PL34, and are
upgrading SQL Enterprise Edition from the 2000 to the 2005 SP2 edition.
The SQL upgrade advisor has given some error messages
in relation to SAP tables, as per below. Should we be concerned about
these, or will they have any effect on upgrading from SAP B1 2005 to
2007 versions?
Remove references to undocumented system tables
Many system tables that were undocumented in prior releases have changed or no longer exist; therefore, using these tables may cause errors after upgrading to SQL server 2005.
Affected tables
Object Name : TmSP_GetDbSizeByDrives
Object Type : P
System Table : spt_value
Object Name : TmSP_CheckDiskSpace
The above messages point to SAP stored procedures.

I believe all those SP are temporary SP for you previous upgrade. Therefore. it should be no problem to upgrade your test database first. You have to back up the pre upgrade database anyway, you should be safe.
Thanks,
Gordon
