sql server 2000 to sql server 2008 Migration

  • How to run the upgrade advisor during the migration time ie sql server 2000 to sql server 2008

  • Hi,

    If you are working on upgrades to latest versions of SQL Server there are mainly two way to carry this task:

    1) In-place upgrade

    2) Side-by-side upgrade

    Upgrade Advisor analyzes installed components from earlier versions of SQL Server, and then generates a report that identifies issues to fix either before or after you upgrade.

    When you run Upgrade Advisor, the Upgrade Advisor Home page appears. From the Home page, you can run the following tools:

    --Upgrade Advisor Analysis Wizard

    --Upgrade Advisor Report Viewer

    --Upgrade Advisor Help

    The analysis examines objects that can be accessed, such as scripts, stored procedures, triggers, and trace files. Upgrade Advisor cannot analyze desktop applications or encrypted stored procedures.

    Output is in the form of an XML report. View the XML report by using the Upgrade Advisor report viewer.

  • You don't run the Upgrade Advisor during the migration. You run it before the migration so you know what problems to fix before the migration.

    Use the SQL 2008 Upgrade Advisor. And I advise doing a side-by-side migration from 2000 to 2008, in case you run into any major issues. Remember, if you do an in place upgrade, you won't be able to go back without a full restore of OS, SQL Server, and all databases.

  • The advisor doesn't tell you about all errors. Syntax errors, for instance, I believe aren't registered by the advisor.
