Hello Guys, i'm not very SQL techie ...
I'm trying to think a way to upgrade a SQL 2005 Cluster Instance installed on windows 2003 Itanium to SQL 2008R2 Cluster Instance over a Windows 2008 R2 X64 Cluster (new Hardware and possible new SAN).
My primary requisite is the least downtime possible and having a way to fall back to SQL 2005 if the need arises. There are 2 small DB's and on big DB of 1 Tb.
With this in mind, Detach and Attach is no a possible path. Also Backup and restore was not my 1st shot because a full backup can take 20 hours to complete.
So I was thinking on Mirroring or log shipping migration, but I'm not sure if this is possible with this scenario from Cluster to Cluster and from Itanium to X64.
Also my original configuration as now a considerable usage on CPU medium of 70% give or take, so mirroring could really harm the CPU, can you guys share some thoughts? What main constrains will I face and the best way to go ...

We have planned to do migration from sql server 2008 to 2012.
Here i have one confusion that which system data base need to be migrate first.what is order of DB to migrate.
Please provide me some link to get the information about this.
I have an Oracle 10g database composed of over 25k tables (Peoplesoft). I need to archive a subset (~1700) of these tables to a SQL Server 2012 database of which only ~3200 of the tables have data. Is there a more efficient way to tell SSMA which tables to convert and migrate outside of the GUI? I know the advanced object selection provides some wildcard/pattern filtering, but there isn't necessarily a pattern to easily identify the large list of tables. I am experimenting with the Console, but there appears to be a few obstacles there as well.
Help!

Hello!
Who has some experience about migration from Oracle (10g) to SQL Server 2008 R2 with using of SSMA (Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant for Oracle).
I realized successful import of tables from Oracle to SQL server - but without relationships among tables. Is it possible to import tables with relationships with using of SSMA? How can I do it?
Thanks a lot for advices.

We are running SQL 2005 SP4 Enterprise edition on physical cluster with Windows 2008 OS. Our manager wants to move all SQL databases to VMWare. But I heard there were some performance issues when SQL 2005 ran on VM. If we have to move to VM, Is SQL 2012 improved lots on VM than SQL 2005?
Thanks

Hi All,
Assuming my database server is 24*7 database, what would be the best strategy to migrate my database server to new server with new hardware with minimal downtime?
I posted the same question under Database engine section without my knowledge. I apoligize.
Thanks in advance.
Hi All,
Trying to migrate Oracle db to SQL Server using SSMA V5.2, but getting several errors:
-------------------------------------------------
SSMA error messages:
O2SS0083: Identifier DBMs_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR cannot be converted because it was not resolved.
SET @curHandler = DBMS_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR
---------------------------------------------------
This error goes on for DBMS_SQL.PARSE, DBMS_SQL.EXECUTE, and DBMS_SQL.CLOSE_CURSOR. What are the SQL server equivalent of these Oracle operations?
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!Thank you,
GraceI have an existing database originally created in SQL 2000. When attempting to attach it to SQL 2012 for the first time, I get...
Database '<name here>' cannot be upgraded because its non-release version (539) is not supported by this version of SQL Server. You cannot open a database that is incompatible with this version of sqlservr.exe. You must re-create the database.
However, I can attach it just fine to SQL 2005, 2008, or 2008 R2 with no issue. And in fact if I attach it to any of those instances, then attach it to 2012, it works just fine. But there appears to be no way to go directly from 2000 -> 2012.
Is this a bug? Intentional? I couldn't find any documentation about it's intent. Suggesting that I recreate the database is a bit silly, there's a ton of tables and data inside it. I have a large number of customers still on SQL 2000, and I'd like them to upgrade. They're not going to readily have available other editions for an interim attachment, and there's too much data for me to download every data to my site, attach it once, and send it back.
Is there another conversion tool that can be run?
Hi,
I have been tasked with migrating a stand alone SQL 2008 server into a 2 node cluster. I am aware that I will need an identical server and shared storage but I am not 100% sure how to do this? Can anyone suggest how I add a live SQL server into a cluster?
Thanks

Hi,
I have installed Sql Server 2008 cluster having window server 2008 R2 enterprise with sp1 and SQL Server 2008 sp3.
Server has 128 GB RAM and quard-core processor.
After completion of cluster configuration, sql server is working fine.
Now according to our requirement, we required to shift around 200 databases from old sql server 2008 cluster to new sql server 2008 cluster. To shift all databases to new sql server 2008, we copied all user databases with system databases to new sql server 2008 sp3 and then restarted sql services and all databases came online and working properly.
But after doing this, on new sql server 2008 , databases activities like Backup and restoration taking long time......
Pls suggest me what to do to improve sql server performance... ?

Hi all ,
This sql agent job has four steps and its run every 5 mins it is running successfully but it failed once at step 1 throwing the error listed below.Recently this job and db's have been migrated to the new server which is 2012 from 2005 sql server.
Message
Executed as user: NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT. String or binary data would be truncated. [SQLSTATE 22001] (Error 8152) The statement has been terminated. [SQLSTATE 01000] (Error 3621) String or binary data would be truncated. [SQLSTATE 22001] (Error

Did anybody faced the same issue before.
Hi all,
The query processor ran out of internal resources and could not produce a query plan. This is a rare event and only expected for extremely complex queries or queries that reference a very large number of tables or partitions. Please simplify the query. If you believe you have received this message in error, contact Customer Support Services for more information. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 8623).
alternatively Im running a package in that particular step any guesses why would this happen?
this is an issue after the migration to new server 2012.
I am building an application with Access 2010 Front end linked to SQL 2008 tables;
I store both English and Arabic in nvarchar columns;
My problem is with Arabic criteria in the Front end Access queries.
I can query fine from SQL Management Studio by prefixing Arabic criteria with N Prefix for Unicode characters.
SELECT ClientName From tblClients WHERE ClientName LIKE N'%كامل%'
My access queries on the other hand are returning blank records when I try to run the same query or filter a form with criteria having Arabic characters.
Tried to add the 'N' prefix in Access but it is considered as part of the criteria and fails.
Is there a way to do this without using Pass Through queries?
Hola,
Estoy en el proceso de estudio para llevar a cabo una migracion de una BBDD de Informix a SQL 2005. He estado viendo documentacion al respecto, y parece ser que existe una herramienta llamada SSMA que me puede ayudar ha hacerlo. Resulta que esta herramienta para BBDD informix no la encuentro. Las preguntas son:
1.- Si existe, donde me la puedo descargar?
2.- Algunos de vosotros se ha enfrentado a este tipo de migraciones? y de ser asi como lo habeis realizado?
3.- Si sabeis de sitios donde haya un How to... de los pasos a seguir
Gracias y un saludo
Hi
We recently completed a number of sql instacne migrations (slq 2008 and sql 2005) - migrated a number of sql insstacnes (each with lots of databases) from to new windows servers.
We normally have the databases owned by SA, but the DBA who did the migration left the databases with their account as the owner. Their acccount has now been deleted and we cannot see database properties if we right click in SSMS - SSMS gives an error.
We want to change the owner back to SA - which looks like it will fix the SSMS issue and anything else that might be wrong.
We know we can do this one database at a time using the sp_changedbowner - but this only works for the current database - i.e. one at a time.
Is their a script I can run to iteratviely do this for all databases inm an instance ? (We could generate a list of all the database and use a macro to create lots of spchangedbowner commands - but was wondering if their is a more elegant way...)
Thanks for any help in advance
Regards
