Message-ID: Hi to all We are in the process of upgrading to a SAN. As part of this our SQL Server is going to new server hardware as well. My question is about the best way to migrate data. I have always had the impression that you had to back up inside SQL and then use the backup file (.bak) in SQL for a restore rather than backing up the .mdf and .ldf files. Part of this SAN is software that is supposed to do a low level copy from current volumes to new volumes. Once all data is migrated the new server will be named the same as the old server and given the same IP address. That should prevent applications from going fits, I hope. Any suggestions on the best route to take or things to watch out for.

If it is a lot more logical reads, I am betting that it might be a problem in the future since the more reads translates to higher execution (#of reads is probably more important on a slower disk). Using a new index for a query I thought usually decreases reads in most cases (because don't have to get the data from the table or from another "not so good" index which can be more expensive). I wonder why the logical reads went up even though execution time went down. Maybe the optimizer found that it was cheaper to create an executin plan that gets most of the data from the index and the rest from the table?

Was the fillfactor of the new index set to low percentage (index created over many pages)? ===========This was my expectation too -- it's a very simple example query -- but there's one JOIN and one WHERE clause. Just to experiment, I added an index to the column specified in the WHERE clause. Ordinarily, this column would not be a good candidate for an index. The reads increase on the table specified in the WHERE clause (region), the one with the new index. Execution time does go down. I know that inappropriate indexes can be a serious performance problem. Another interesting side-product was that even after I removed the new index on the region column the execution stayed down -- once it went down, it stayed down. I hadn't expected that.

The query with the region index looks like it is getting region data from the region index you created and then getting the rest of the employee data via bookmark lookup (a sign for improvement?). It might be better for this query if your region index includes the other columns (ie. firstname lastname) of your query instead of just the region column column; to experiment, if you create a second region index (without dropping the first) but this time include the name columns, the optimzer will see that there are two region indexes to choose from but will choose the second index because it is cheaper execution plan. CREATE INDEX IX_EMPLOYEES_region2 on employees(region, LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME) Table 'Orders'. Scan count 5, logical reads 11, physical reads 0, read-ahead reads 0. Table 'Employees'. Scan count 1, logical reads 1, physical reads 0, read-ahead reads 0. With the second new index, I can now get the query execution time under 10ms.

I do not have a backup through SQL Server as it is a database in development and not production at this point. Is there a way to take the restored from backup files of database A (A_data.mdf and A_log.ldf) and rename those files as B_data.mdf and B_log.ldf and restore them to a newly created database B. I don't want to restore over this database in development just retrieve a table or two.

Then, select the radio button on the General tab labeled "From Device".

RESTORE DATABASE [b] FROM DISK = N'c:\the_backup_file_name_of_a_db.bak' WITH FILE = 1, NOUNLOAD , STATS = 10, RECOVERY , MOVE N'a_Data' TO N'c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\data\b_data.mdf', MOVE N'a_Log' TO N'c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\data\b_log.ldf' the most important part is the "RESTORE DATABASE [b]" since this will tell you the name of the db you are trying to restore. that is, if it is "RESTORE DATABASE [a]", you will overwriting the existing database "a" (which is something you don't want). the last two lines with the MOVE option indicates the new physical file names to use for the logical data files that are already present in the backed up db.

The client wants to dump the Access data into the SQL Sever database and dump the .mdb file completely. This is a one-time job. I figure I have two approaches: 1. We can clear a block of time to manually import the Access data. I'd be working with a backup copy and they'd have to agree not to use the SQL Server database while I was importing -- 2. After reviewing the backup, I could write the necessary stored procedures and let them run them to import the data themselves. That way, they wouldn't have any downtime. Any comments? Any other suggestions? I don't have to convert anything other that Access datatypes that won't import as is -- any comments about that? I don't anticipate much trouble outside of maybe having to dump some dates, but I haven't reviewed the Access data yet, so that might not be necessary. Susan H.

Will the customer still be using the current FE? If so the import process ought to be a huge breeze, since you're just importing data, you would not need to write any sprocs, just perhaps views so that the end users do not hit the actual datatabales themselves.

From accessd at shaw.ca Fri Aug 19 11:57:31 2005 From: accessd at shaw.ca (Jim Lawrence) Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2005 09:57:31 -0700 Subject: [dba-SQLServer] importing Access data In-Reply-To: <20050819162329.UHCL9746.ibm58aec.bellsouth.net@SUSANONE> Message-ID: <0ILH009B1B3UKV@l-daemon> Hi Susan: I am going through a similar event. The only difference is the source database is a legacy DB. I puzzled over what would be the best method and decided on writing a full set of queries and DTS import routines which will extract and manipulate the data out of the existing database and into the MS SQL. Most is done from the SQL end. When the testing is completed I will move the client over in an evening and they will run in parallel for a month and then drop the old system. (The FE is also going to be new; starting from a DOS based DB named Clarion to ASP.Net) To make a long story short, build, test and automate the import routines, using the backup data and then run the data import yourself. This is because if any data in the old system is wrong... missing keys, missing records and has records with bad-data... (even since your latest backup test data) the import will crash with no one to help.

The client wants to dump the Access data into the SQL Sever database and dump the .mdb file completely. This is a one-time job. I figure I have two approaches: 1. We can clear a block of time to manually import the Access data. I'd be working with a backup copy and they'd have to agree not to use the SQL Server database while I was importing -- 2. After reviewing the backup, I could write the necessary stored procedures and let them run them to import the data themselves. That way, they wouldn't have any downtime. Any comments? Any other suggestions? I don't have to convert anything other that Access datatypes that won't import as is -- any comments about that? I don't anticipate much trouble outside of maybe having to dump some dates, but I haven't reviewed the Access data yet, so that might not be necessary.

I purely use dts or sql to do the data import but to replicate the db structure in sql server, maybe upsizing wizard is best way to go? I'd prefer dts any day over upsizing wizard for copy the structure (i'm talking just about the table structure, not data) but have not been able to figure out how to transfer the defaults in access into sql server; if anyone knows how, i'd be interested to know.

If so the import process ought to be a huge breeze, since you're just importing data, you would not need to write any sprocs, just perhaps views so that the end users do not hit the actual datatabales themselves. =============Right now, all they want is to map the Access fields to specific SQL Server columns -- the fe is already there. It sounds pretty easy to me. If I were there, I could just import, fix, import, fix... but I'm not on-site. Susan H.
