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.
We have a project with SQL 2008 R2 in which deprecated Outer-Join syntax is still used, both in database objects (e.g. stored procedures) and code objects (e.g. inline SQL within the code). It would be great if you could give us some tricks & tips how best to automatically convert to new ANSI syntax, in some easy reliable manner as possible.
Finding occurences of *= and =* within the scripts of code and database is rather easy, since basically it's like searching for text all throughout the source code. However, converting each respective SQL manually is both tedious & risky with potential for bugs.
Thank u.

Hello,
I have a scenario, where i need to migrate SQL 2005 servers db's ( around 30, small ones) to new server in a new domain. Destinationserver is 2012 R2, running SQL2014
Domains have trust between them, and users have already been migrated to new domain. Users are using the databases with NT authing from the new domain (new logins & users have been created to old sql-server).
I have backed up db's from old server and restored them in new server. After that, i restored logins with following article's script:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918992
I cleaned from the login script logins that are not in use, change the domainname to new in CREATE LOGIN phase (for the users who did not have already login from new domain) and the script ran without errors.
User Mappings are like they should be on logins, however, the user & schema names are indicating to old domain. If i try to change them, i receive error about SID mismatch. This affects also users, who have already had new logins for new domain, their usernames on mappings are also changed to old domain's username. What is causing this?

I need a benchmark on query response time in sql server 2008 R2 and 2005.

Hello Experts,
I need to fetch data from oracle server to sql server.
what are the possible ways to do it?
We recently migrated our SQL Server to a new server. I scripted out the linked servers on the old SQL server and ran it on the new server. I updated the passwords and the 'test connection' is successful.
My issue is when we try to expand the linked servers on the new server, the catalogs never expand and a 'fetch ms_crs_aliases into @ alias' query runs and never finishes. This query pegs the CPU and we cannot kill it unless we restart the SQL service.
Does anyone know how to fix this? The connections seem to be working but when you try to expand the catalogs it kills our performance and we have to restart SQL.
This is SQL 2008 R2 running on a physical Windows Server 2008 R2 box.
Thanks.
When SSMA is utilized, is there an option to leave encrypted data as is....encrypted?

Hi. I have two SQL Servers: one 2005 and one 2008 R2. The hardware builds -- RAM, CPU -- of the two servers are significantly different (although they are both SAN-attached.). We may need to consolidate the two into a single 2008 R2 on a larger machine at a CoLo facility. (Let's assume that the SQL 2005 databases are compatibile with 2008 R2 on the new machine and can be migrated.) I understand more or less about baselining and performance monitoring of individual SQL servers, but am a bit perplexed about how the relative performance of the existing SQL instances on their respective machines may relate to the consolidated instance. Since the two existing instances are on different hardware, how do I extrapolate or profile how they will perform on a consolidated instance? Another way to ask the question is, what specific metrics can I look at on the existing machines to understand how they will utilize the new machine? What approach would you take to test the proposed consolidation without migrating all the production databases and users? Hope this makes sense. Thanks.
Hi All,
I wanted to replicate oracle huge table to sql server and i am using SSMA.its helpful and fast but can we replicate the table to different name using SSMA.for example i have a table TEST and i wanted to replicate it to SQL_TEST.Can it be possible using SSMA.
Kindly help me out
Hello, I’m using your SSMA for Access software or MS SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access to convert an MS Access 2010 database into a SQL Server 2008 database. The database is a split one. So, I’m only concerned about the tables.mdb file being converted. I have created an ODBC connection to connect the SQL Server to the MS Access 2010 frontend.mdb file (contains forms, queries, reports, etc). All was successfully created. My question is regarding making certain “Project Settings” before performing the migration. When I have done previous conversions using SSMA for Access, I have left the “Project Settings” set to their default values. I noticed that if I have a table in the MS Access database called ‘tblABC’, then once I do the conversion the table in SQL Server is ‘dbo.tblABC’ (which is just fine). However, when I go to my MS Access frontend.mdb , the same table is called ‘dbo_tblABC’ via the DNS in MS Access Linked Table Manager. Question: How can I set the “Project Settings” (before I perform the migration using SSMA) so that in Access there will be no table linked to SQL Server now called ‘dbo_tblABC’, but will still have its original name as in MS Access ‘tblABC’ while still being a linked table to SQL Server?

We created a test SQL environment using a Technet evaluation copy of Windows Server 2012 along with an evaluation copy of SQL2012. After testing, everything is working as planned so were going to enter the product keys for both Windows Server and SQL 2012. My question is that once we have our Server licensed we’re going to start a new domain and recreate all the user accounts but I installed SQL using a local user account I created called ”sqladmin”. Once Server 2012 is the DC in the new domain will I need to change all the service accounts for SQL in order for it to function or can I still use the local “sqladmin” user account? If I can re-use that local account are there any downside to that? What’s the best practice in this scenario

I am starting a new thread for a question that has already been started because the earlier thread is marked as "answered," but it was not in fact answered. There were several people in the earlier thread who said thay had this problem. Here is the earlier thread: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/ffa8c8af-f747-4c32-9bf1-9ebdd78a4742/ssma-for-mysql-v52-does-not-show-all-my-mysql-tables?forum=sqlservermigration

I don't see all my MySQL tables inside SSMA 5.2 after connecting to the MySQL server and database. Some tables are shown but many are not.
All tables are Innodb in mysql and in the same database. I can see the tables using many tools, such as MySQL Workbench. I also have a linked server in SQL Server 2012 that links to the same MySQL server and database and sees all the tables -but
SSMA 5.2 does not. The LinkedServer uses the same ODBC connection, and the same credentials (username / password).
I have SSMA for MySQL Extension Pack installed, and I am using “Server Side Data Migration Engine” to migrate the tables. I have done a "check table" from within MySQL on one of the missing tables, and there is no corruption.
I tried to use the LinkedServer to connect from within SSMA, but it appears that SSMA does not allow me to use them????
Hi,
As part of my project, we are upgrading SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2012. We have a separate SSRS instance running on a separate machine which interact with these existing 2008 server instances and create various reports.
My architect's recommended that we just create a new VM and get SQL Server 2012 with existing Data. (You install a new environment, copy your metadata and data to the new environment, and configure the new environment to use existing content.)
He suggested that we need not to make any changes to SSRS instance which is running on older version. He suggested just to re-use existing SSRS instance and point to new SQL Server 2012.
My question is about the feasiblity of this solution. Will that work? Can you have SSRS instance running on older version but interacting with migrated SQL Server 2012 instance. Any challenges/possible road blocks?
