Migration Gurus,
Can you please share your experience with migrating Sybase using SSMA? What I am looking for is:
- The largest database you have migrated (size/no of objects)
- End-to-end migration time including schema conversion, code modification, data migration
- Data migration time
- Size of largest table and time taken to migrate it
Appreciate your input.
Thanks,

Hello,
What would be the fastest way to export & re-import a large table in also retaining it's Primary Key ID (auto identity seed +1)?
We're planning on migrating one of our DBs from old server to new server which has this one table in specific which is pretty large. As a proof of concept from the Application's team in connecting to the new server a couple months earlier we had established a copy of the DB onto the new server. They ended up continuing to use this large table on the new server which is live as the table that's on the old soon to be decommissioned server is not being used anymore but the other tables on the old server are still being used live (so mixed combo of live tables server locations).
So for this DB migration was thinking I'll need to do:
Would doing like a bulk copy out into a flat-file or select * into NewTemporaryTable from LargeTable or Export/Import Management Studio Wizard or something else would be the fastest and am on the right track of thinking of above steps?
Also any recommended free tools that I can download in opening large flat-files? (I get the error message that the flat-file is too large for NotePad to open.)
Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone!!
I´m trying to export a text file, with this instruction...
DECLARE @selectText VARCHAR(999)
DECLARE @output INT
DECLARE @result INT
EXEC @output = master.dbo.xp_fileexist 'DIR "C:\TextoPlano\" /B', @result OUTPUT
print @output
IF @output = 1
PRINT 'File Donot exists'--CREATE THE DIRECTORY
ELSE
BEGIN
PRINT 'File exists'
SELECT @selectText = 'bcp "SELECT * FROM [pruebaBD].[dbo].[Cliente]" queryout "C:\TextoPlano\ViewOrdenCompra.txt" -c -S xxxxxxx -U sa -P xxxxxx'
PRINT @selectText
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @selectText
END...but sql server shows me this
- SQLState = S1000, NativeError = 0 and...
- Error = [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0]Unable to open BCP host data-file
I have permision on the c: drive, un block the xp_cmshell, the xp_fileexistwork and shows me that directory exist!!
also the line bcp "SELECT * FROM [pruebaBD].[dbo].[Cliente]" queryout "C:\TextoPlano\ViewOrdenCompra.txt" -c -S xxxxxxx -U sa -P xxxxxx
works perfectly in a cmd window
what I'm doing wrong??
Hi Guys,
I am using SSMA for Oracle to migrate Oracle DB to MSSQL 2014.
However I am confused with the following result :-
Field01 varchar2(100) in Oracle is converted to varchar(400) in MSSQL which is 4 times its original size
Another field varchar2(2000) in Oracle is converted to varchar(4000) in MSQL which is only 2 times its original size
Some varchar2 fields maintains their size after migrating.
What the purpose of making the converted field size bigger and why is inconsistency ?
Please help.
Thank You
Hi
I am migrating an Access (accdb) database to SQL Server. Seems to work quite well. But there is some issues to handle.
Like not supported data types (Access Atachment etc), indexing etc to get best performance. I will handle it. But. In the meantime users update the running Access database with new data in their dally work
Is it possible migrate "data only" after fiixing the the sql server issues?
Or must I plan a stop of using the Access database during migrating?

Hi Team,
I have query regarding SQL server driver.
Currently, We are using SQL Server driver Version - 6.00.6002.18005 with SQL server 2008 with SAP Business Object repository and reporting. I think SQL Server driver Version - 6.00.6002.18005 is default driver comes with Windows Server 2008 R2 OS appears under ODBC. Business Object is installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 and connecting to SQL server database using odbc connection of 32 bit.
Now, we are migrating database from SQL server 2008 to SQL server 2014.
I found new SQL server driver -"Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11" supported with 2014.
I check the driver at MS website and found that driver version is 12.0.4219.0.
I see both driver version are different. I want to clarify the below questions:
1. What are difference between both SQL server driver version?
2. What will be the issue if we won't upgrade our driver to new version?
3. We tested ODBC connection with current driver and that worked. However I want to know the advantage and impact if we not upgrade.
Please update on this.
Thanks

Hello,
SSMA for Sybase not migrating the data. Schema migration is working fine.
We validated the below points:
i. SSMA extension pack installed in SQL Server machine.
ii. OLEDB driver for Sybase installed in SQL Server machine.
iii. Network and Firewall has been checked.
iv. Able to connect the Sybase from SQL server machine.
v. We are able to load the data from Sybase to SQL Server through SSIS package.\
vi. We have chosen "Server side migration" in SSMA properties.
With all these we are unable to do the migration for a single small table which has 5 records using SSMA.
There are no errors being popped by SSMA, it get hung. No progress, it shows 0%.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please forgive me if this posting is in the wrong sub-forum or if this question has already been answered.
I have searched the web, as well as the forums here, and I have not been able to find an answer to my question. I am trying to find and download the 2014 SQL Upgrade Advisor, which is supposedly part of the "Microsoft® SQL Server® 2014 Feature Pack".
Here is the link to the 2014 Feature Pack page:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42295
However, unlike the equivalent page for 2012, the 2014 page does not have links to many of the tools, including to the Upgrade Advisor.
I do not have access to the 2014 page, as the database team at my company has not yet installed 2014 on the new server. (I do have a 2014 instance in a Development environment). We are in the process of preparing for a migration from 2005 to 2014.
Can anyone point me to a working download link for the 2014 Upgrade Advisor? I may also require the SQLDom.msi, but I'm not sure yet.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Scenario:-
A production database is restored on development environment , some time back. The database is using encryption keys (is_master_key_encrypted_by_server=1) in production .The database restored at development is not able to dycrypt , as the password to open DMK is lost.
My queries are :-
a ) If I take fresh backup of database master key(DMK) with a new password at production and restore at development database will it work?
b) Is there any impact of taking new DMK backup in the production and should be avoided?
c) If there is an old backup of DMK available somewhere, will the new backup of DMK make the old one useless?
Thanks

Any help?

I have a very simple 1 table Access db that I would like to migrate to SQL Azure to show feasibility. I downloaded the SSMA. I start the Wizard.
1. I can Add the local Access database.
2. I can Connect to the SQL Azure instance.
3. Then when creating the project it fails in Loading the db.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

I'm using SSMA 6.0 to migrate a big Oracle table, and i'm getting the following error:
ORA-01652: unable to extend temp segment by 128 in tablespace TEMP
When checking the query in Oracle EM, I notice it is using a SORT on the first column. This is causing Oracle to do a sort in the TEMP space instead of just fetching the data directly. Because the table is huge, the TEMP space becomes full. Is there a reason why SSMA *has* to do the sort? I can't seem to disable it anywhere.
I am failing to migrate a MySQL 5.7.13 database to either MS SQL Server 2016 or Azure SQL using SSMA 7.0 via MySQL ODBC Connector 5.3.6 (also tried 5.1.3) due to errors. How to fix or overcome the error?
