Migrating data from SQL 7 to 2000 ? Possible ? DTS ?

Hello,
I have a weird task. After going to SQL 2000 from SQL 7 on a
weekend...after a few days...incase of problems... I might be asked to
revert back to SQL 7 with those upgrade SQL 2000 databases.
Now, I know this cannot be done, but is there a possibility of using DTS to
do this ?
I have tried DTS from SQL 2000 to SQL 7... out of the 6 databases it worked
for 4. Although it does seem kind of "unclean" way to do it.
With the 5th database, I can move everything but procedures. Some of the
procedures refer to columns in user tables which don't exist.
With the 6th database, it seems max precision is set to 38 on SQL 2000 but
only 28 on SQL 7. Which is why this one isn't working at all.
Any suggestions ? Over should I just mark this "unclean" way of going from
SQL 2000 to SQL 7 as NOT an option ?
Thanks in advance.
-Kunal.The best way as per me is to take a backup of your SQL 7 and restore in your
SQL 2000.
By doing this you will not loose and objects. DTS will not copy all the
objects and the references that are available to the TABLE.
Hope this will solve your problem
thanks and regards

Its SQL 2000 to SQL 7.
The matter of the topic explains the problem correctly.
Its SQL 2000 to SQL 7 not the other way around. Any thoughts ?
Thanks.

Hence the whole DTS approach.

trying to do. move from sql 2000 to sql 7.
And this demotion option. where is this ? I dont recall ever seeing such an
option in DTS or in script out objects.
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Migrating back to SQL 7 from 2000. Possible ? Advisable ? using DT

Hello,
I have a weird task. After going to SQL 2000 from SQL 7 on a
weekend...after a few days...incase of problems... I might be asked to
revert back to SQL 7 with those upgrade SQL 2000 databases.
Now, I know this cannot be done, but is there a possibility of using DTS to
do this ?
I have tried DTS from SQL 2000 to SQL 7... out of the 6 databases it worked
for 4. Although it does seem kind of "unclean" way to do it.
With the 5th database, I can move everything but procedures. Some of the
procedures refer to columns in user tables which don't exist.
With the 6th database, it seems max precision is set to 38 on SQL 2000 but
only 28 on SQL 7. Which is why this one isn't working at all.
Any suggestions ? Over should I just mark this "unclean" way of going from
SQL 2000 to SQL 7 as NOT an option ?
Thanks in advance.
-Kunal.DTS-Copy Objects
Do you have an 'old' SQL Server7 backup files? I mean just RESTORE those
backup files to SQL Server 7 and SQL Server2000 out

No, I cannot restore the backups of 7 taken prior to migrating to SQL 2000
bacause there will be some transaction/activity in the database on SQL 2000
itself.
Example...they might use SQL 2000 for a week or 2 before they tell me now
they wanna go back to SQL 7 so data loss of those 2 weeks is not acceptable.
As for DTS. Im having the problem of precision being 28 on SQL 7 but 38 on
SQL 2000.
Any thoughts/suggestions ?
Thanks.

If the business needs a plan to revert back to an old platform 2 weeks
later, then tell the business now they should do better testing before you go
live.
Once you do the migration, and run initial tests, I would say that is the
point of non-return.

Microsoft Visual Studio is unable to load this document after SQL Server SP2 install.

Hello all,

Over the weekend, I loaded the SQL Server SP2 on to my production database after having it on my dev server for two weeks with out any problems.

After I did this, I went to check all my SSIS packages and found them not able to load.

I get this message “Microsoft Visual Studio is unable to load this document: The package failed to load due to error 0xC0010014 “One or more error occurred. There should be more specific errors preceding this one that explains the details of the errors. This message is used as a return value from functions that encounter errors”. This occurs when CPackage::LoadFromXML fails.

Now when I look at the errors I see:

Error 1 Error loading Master_Full_Weekly.dtsx: Error loading value "<DTS:LogProvider xmlns : DTS="www.microsoft.com/SqlServer/Dts" > <DTS : Property DTS:Name="ConfigString">SQL_TPMTSH_Datamart</DTS: Property><DTS : Property DTS:Name="DelayValidation">0</DTS: Property><DTS: Property DTS:Name="ObjectName">DTS Log Provider for SQL Serve" from node "DTS: LogProvider". D:\ETL\Projects\TPM\TPMTSH\Master_Full_Weekly.dtsx 1 1

Does anyone know what this is about and how I can go about fixing it?Anyone?|||

Could you try to register xml modules:

regsvr32 msxml3.dll

regsvr32 msxml6.dll

HTH.
