Hi
Can you please help me here? I bought the Volume license for a SQL. I downloaded the trial version before i buy the license, now that i have a license i want to download and install it on my server but i am concerned about the database on the trial SQL i downloaded earlier. Is possible to move my database from the trial to the licensed SQL on the same server? If so please advice on how I go about doing it.
You quick response will be much appreciated
Thanks

Hi
While I found several information about Downgrading an 2008 R2 Enterprise to 2008 R2 Standard edition (even here in this forum) I didn't found much information doing this when it's a clustered SQL Server. Is there anything I've to be aware of? My solution I've in mind is:
1.) Stop SQL Service
2.) Move all database (users and system) to another location
3.) Uninstall existing Enterprise nodes/instances of both servers
4.) Install the SQL 2008 R2 Standard on both nodes. Use same folders for databases as in the original installation. Use also all other configs as the original one (instance/cluster name, network ressource name,...)
5.) Stop SQL Service
6.) Remove original user and system databases back to their original folder. Replace system databases of new installation with the original ones.
Should this work or not?
Any idea of the pricing for 2014 EE
ie Host with 4X4 CPU running 4 SQL Instances ? Price per core 1X or 4X ? every link goes to SQL 2012, starting to remind me of IBM's marketing of O/S 2 Warp back in the early '90s, utter and complete failure.
Hello,
I have all my production data in SQL Server 2005 and we want to move to SQL 2008 R2.
So if I backup the SQL 2005 DB and restore in SQL 2008 R2 will those DB will be upgraded to SQL 2008 R2?
Or what is the best way to upgrade to 2008 R2?
I think upgade the SQL 2005 instance will be good option, but the SQL box is on Win 2003 and now the MS does not support Win 2003. SO I am planing to get a new server with Win 2008 R2 and will install SQL 2008 R2 and want to restore/upgrade my SQL 2005 DB backups.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Prabhat
Hello,
We are planning to perform an in place upgrade for one of our SQL 2005 instance to SQL 2012 (Standard Edition). while doing this are there any major things to be considered like deprecated data types, commands etc;
Appreciate if any other helpful suggestions regarding this in-place upgrade.
Thank you.
After downloading the above tool from here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28766 after installation it takes you to a page to obtain a licence key. This is a file that appears that you download, however, there is an error when trying to download it. I get the following error:
Internet Explorer cannot download oracle-ssma.licence from download.microsoft.com
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.
How do we contact Microsoft to tell them this download does not work?
Hi,
The SSMA from Oracle to SQL Server adds the "MS_SSMA_SOURCE" extended property to all tables and columns it converts.
Why is this required? Could there be problems if I remove it?
If removing it is OK, is there a way to set a preference in the SSMA GUI so that these statements will not be generated?
Thanks

Hi,
We are planning to move our data-center from one location to another location. As per of this how to move all sql server without/minimal downtime.
At the same time we are planning to migrate all our sql server from 2005/2008 r2 to 2012 (Which contains Mirroring/Logshipping/Replication)
Planned to implement Always on Availability instead of mirroring.
There are 52 SQL servers about to migrate. Database size from 120 GB to 2 TB.
I have a client with an Access 2010 application this is already in a front end/backend configuration, with the user interface, forms, and queries in the Access front end and the data in tables in the Access back end. I used the SSMA for Access to upsize the back end to SQL Express 2008 R2. The migration was successful in that all the tables and data were migrated to SQL, but nothing on the front end was changed. I have linked the new SQL tables with the Linked Table Manager, and the tables are visible in the front end, but none of the table references in the forms and queries were updated with the wizard. Is there a way to run SSMA that will update the front end while also upsizing the back end?
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi
I’m migrating Servers From SQL Servers 2000 to SQL Server2008 in this process we followed backup and restore method
But once databases are migrated to target server( i.e..SQL Server2008) i got some compatibility issues like
Errors: Outer join operators *= and =* are not supported in 90 or later compatibility mode.
DTS packages are not supported in SQL Server 2008 version
For the above issues we change the code using Left outer joins & Right outer joins but it will take time to change code on each and every stored procedure.
So could you please suggest me anyMicrosoft Tool for Migrating databases to prevent compatibility issues
NOTE: Suggest meMICRO SOFT Tools
Hi,
I'd like to know if it is possible to migrate table structures and data from a Sybase vers. 7 database to a SQL Server 2008-2008 R2-2012 database.
Many thanks
Using Visual Studio 2010 and an XSD to handle data sets and table adapters.
I am moving the application's database objects to a new server (SQL 2005 to 2012). Along with moving to a new server I am taking this opportunity to put the database objects under their own database schema. Also, all of the objects will be slightly renamed. For example: "tblEval" to "hreval.EvalPeriod", and "tblEvaluations" to "hreval.Evaluations".
How best to go about updating the XSD so as to minimize the rework? Can I just pop open the XSD file in a text editor and do a search and replace? Or am I best off biting the bullet and recreating it from scratch?
Thoughts, ideas, suggestions? Thank you.
We are migrating a production database from SQL 2005 to SQL 2008 R2. Normally, I would just backup the database on 2005 and then load it on SQL 2008 R2 as the primary mechanism for migration.
I was told by a member of our vendor's DBA Support that the database will perform more efficiently if we completely reverse and forward engineer it at the script level and then reload all the data on a table by table basis. I was told that this is the "proper" way to do the migration.
This database has over 1200 tables and about 60GB of data (not too big). There are several problems with this approach. First, the entire process would have to be scripted and tested first in a test environment. Second, we would have to schedule down time on our critical 7 x 24 production platform to do this.
Is it true that this is the "proper" way to perform the migration? Are there any performance or other benefits to be had by doing this versus using the usual (more concurrency-friendly) optimization methods that are available like index rebuilds, update statistics, etc?
Thank You
