migrating form standard to enterprise edition

Hi,

Can someone tell me what the best way is to migrate from a SQL Server 2000
Standard Edition to a SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition?
Is this a migration possible from the setup program of the Enterprise
Edition?
What are the pitfalls?

Thanks in advance

Yes. See Books Online, Installing SQL Server -> Upgrading an Existing
Installation of SQL Server.

> What are the pitfalls?

As a safety precaution, I would re-apply the latest service pack.

Migrating form Oracle 8 to SQL2000

Has there anyone heard these two 3rd-party tool "SwisSQL" and "DbBest",
which say can full converting Oracle to SQL Server, includes Triggers and
Views?
I got this on KB already
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/...r />
0761.mspx
but I still hope if there're some other choice and much more convenient...I heard of both the products, but I have seen DBBest in action at PASS 2003,
in Seattle, WA. Though I haven't tried it myself, it seems like a very good
product.
This might help:

Migrating form access to SQL

I am facing problems in migrating my application from Access to SQL.
Few of the fuctions like CBDATE (userdefined functions) are not working.
Please let me know how to overcome this problem.
ThanksHi Manas. I am unaware of a function within Access called CBDATE...is it something you designed and coded (in VBA possibly)? There are a many things you can do in SQL to get the same functionality, but could you post an example code snipet for what that function does?|||

Note he stated it was a user defined function.

You will have to migrate that function into SQL, along with the rest of the database.

|||Did you define the function in the database itself (can you do that in Access?), or in the front end?|||In access you can write functions in VBA that can be called from queries...I'm assuming that's what was being done...|||Ah yes, you are most probably correct. In that case, I presume he will have to write an analagous function in SQL to correct that, with the same name and return type?|||Yeah, I would assume that to be the case...problem would be if the VBA function is doing anything you can't do in T-SQL...then it would be more difficult...

Migrate form stand alone to clustered server

Here is the scenario:
We have an existing production non clustered SQL 2000 server instance that we need to migrate to a new clustered SQL 2000 server instance. We need to accomplish this without affecting the FQDN that applications use to call this server. I found this article on a solution to rename the server after an xcopy of the entire db structure. Here is the link http://vyaskn.tripod.com/moving_sql_server.htm. The other issue that we are trying to resolve is the time it takes for the snapshots of replication to run (in our case almost a full day). That is why this approach looked like it may be a good solution for us.

Here is the question:
Is it possible to move our existing database to a new clustered environment without having to change the FQDN that other applications use to access this database and without having to reinitialize replication?GrantAsh,

The link you posted could work. But, the problem is in the drive letters and the folders.

The problem is that for a clustered server the data drives need to be shared in the cluster. The concern that I would have is the drive letters that you used for your current SQL server would not match the Clustered SQL server drives.

But, if you can match the drive letters then copying the data is not a problem.

But I can't stress this enough, using the method described on that web page to change the SQL server name will not work for a Clustered SQL Server.

I would suggest reading the following:

Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportViewer does not contain a definition for Reset

Hi everyone I developed a web form with a report viewer. I change the report datasource and report path based on user input. Before i do anything on the report i first reset it with this line:

rvWaitTime.Reset();

And then set the parameters, datasources, etc. It works fine on my dev machine: Windows Vista with .NET 2.0 installed (.NET 3.0 is installed as well). When I move the code to the production box: Windows Server 2003 with .NET 2.0 and 3.0 installed i get this error:

'Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportViewer' does not contain a definition for 'Reset'

and of course it fails on the line of code mentioned above.

Any ideas?

Who would have thought that you needed a seperate installation for a control that comes built in with VS 2005? I finally solved the problem. I needed to install theMicrosoft Report Viewer Redistributable 2005 SP1 (Full Installation) on my server and now everything works like a charm!
