Copy the database from sql 2000 to sql 2008

  • I am planning to use either one of the following to copy the data from sql 2000 DB to sql 2008 database:

    1. SSIS: to copy only the new changes over to the sql 2008 DB from SQL 2000 DB.

    2. Merge function of sql 2008

    I have only 2 source tables in the source db. Please let me know which one will be the best way of doing this. Thanks!

  • SSIS would be perfect for this task.

    Or you could try a backup/restore

  • I need to copy the database every night on a scheduled basis. In this case, is it better to use SSIS and schedule it to run daily? If so, which SSIS tasks I can use? Thanks.

  • Yes SSIS would be able to dp this nightly, schedule it as a job to run each night.

    The best/easiest place to start would be open a new SSIS project and run the import/export wizard to get started, then modify this package to suit your needs.
