asp_databases thread: sql server 6.5 to server 2000


Message #1 by "Eric Van Camp" <eric@a...> on Tue, 29 May 2001 18:15:50 +0200
i know, it is a big step but i want to migrate from 6.5 to 2000...

i have a sql 6.5 database which i want to run on a server 2000 database?

i thought i could take a shortcut using access?

can i reproduce the tables to access, the stored procedures..

i heard there is a possibility to connect from  access 2000 to sql2000 

to replicate the information from the access database?

somebody some suggestions?

I too will soon need to go from Access 2000 --> SQL

Server 2000, and haven't yet had the time to research

how.   I know it's not going to be very hard (well, I

hope), but if any of you have done it and could send a

few steps/procedures/problems/"things to watch for",

it would be much appreciated.

Access 2K -> Sql 2K

This is pretty good. The access upsizer works as advertized.

the only thing you really need to do is re-mark your A2K "autonumber" 

fields

as Identity fields in SQL 2K (the upsizer, last time I did it, didn't 

do

that for me)



SQL 6.5 -> SQL 2K

Why go into access? SQL 2K will upgrade a SQL 6.5 Installation without 

any

problems that I know of. If your moving to another server- then install 

SQL

2K on the new server and do a BACKUP of the 6.5 machine and RESTORE on 

the

2K machine.
