SQL 7.0 -> 2000 upgrade - no upgrade option

  • Does anyone know what would cause the SQL 2K standard setup program to have a grayed out Upgrade Option when running the upgrade on a SQL 7.0 Server?

    TIA!

  • I had experience this long before (2-3years ago). We installed SQL Server 7.0 with CD provided by SAP and try to upgrade it to SQL Server 2000 with CD from SAP too. I know there was something realed to SQL Server version and build number because SAP burned the CD with some hotfixes, It was not original CD from Microsoft.

    I am wondering you have similar issue. Can you also post the first 10 lines of SQL Server 2000 setup log. It is in \winnt directory.

  • We're using legit MS purchased CDs.

    We're going from SQL 7.0 Enterprise to SQL 2000 Standard.

    Here's the first part of the log:

  • Problem solved....

    Found out via BOL that 7.0 enterprise can only be upgraded to 2K enterprise.

    Version and Edition Upgrades

    Each of the editions of Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 (SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition, SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition, SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition, and SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition) comes with its own compact disc and is installed separately.

    You can add to the feature set of your installation of Microsoft SQL Server by performing a version and edition upgrade at the same time. For example, if you have purchased Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition, you can upgrade from SQL Server 7.0 Desktop Edition to SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition.

    Upgrade options between versions and editions of SQL Server are shown in the table.

    Installed Version Can upgrade to

    ....

    SQL Server 7.0 Enterprise Edition SQL -> Server 2000 Enterprise Edition

    ....

    Thanks for the help!
