SQL 2000

  • My user data is currently stored in master.mdf.I have plan to create new user db named as North on same server then migrate the data.The user db (North) that was migrated will be backup before reinstall the SQL 2000 or rebuilt the master file.My question is can i do this way to refresh the master file ....

  • I would just migrate the data out of master and then remove it after your application is back online. No need to rebuild the master database - rebuildm is a little klugey and hard to use anyway, and is for corruption I believe. I would probably opt for removing the user objects out and then doing an upgrade rather than otherwise.

  • Hello,

    I just wanted to check if my understanding is correct – are you planning to separate the user data into its own DB and upgrade to SQL 2005 at the same time? If so, are you planning on a side-by-side or in-place upgrade to SQL 2005?

    If that is the case and you moved the user data and then do a side-by-side upgrade, you would end up with a clean Master DB, without any extra work.
