SSIS to move data from SQL 2000 to SQL 2008

  • Hi,

    I want to migrate data from SQL 2000 (running in 6.5 compatibility mode) to SQL 2012.

    Is it possible? or do i need to move it to SQL 2005/2008.

    If some guide or steps will be helpful.

    Thanks,

    Mickey

  • It depends on what you want to do with the data. If it's a straight table-to-table copy, with the same structures, then this should be quite easy to do.

    You should even be able to use the Import wizard in SSMS to build the package for you.

  • Using SSIS to move the data or the Data import can do it for you.

    Alternatively, you could backup the databases and restore to a 2005/2008 server first - upgrade the compatibility mode, then backup and restore to 2012. That is a very significant jump in DBMS - will the app support it?

  • Thanks for your reply!

    The schema of tables is different in both databases. Also, source database will have transactional records, so we need to run the package many times or at interval of sometime.

    Is this possible with SSIS?

  • Oh. I didn't know you were trying to move multiple databases into a single database. That wasn't mentioned previously.

    If you are trying to build a mechanism to sync data from two databases on a regular basis, we need considerably more information than what you have provided.

  • Hi,

    Information i can give right now is that,

    Source database - sql 2000 6.5 compatibilty mode

    Destination database - sql 2012

    Schema in both are different.

    please let me know if its feasible and any links for sample is appreciated.

    Thanks!

  • It's feasible.

    You'll just have to put a bit more development effort in it.

  • SSIS can definitely do that. It's the tool I'd use for it.

  • Agreed with the others. I use SSIS to do this sort of thing all the time.
