Hi,
is there a way to update the script that i will tell where i want to put the LDF and MDF files if i want to separate them?

July 30, 2008 at 1:45 pm
It is said this will work for .BAK files...can this be used for .dmp files as well and can anyone help me with that...i have 200 db's to migrate to SQL 2005 and was looking for a script to generate the restore db script for me....appreciate any help...ty.
July 31, 2008 at 10:19 am
Sorry for the late reply 'm so busy in my work. Maybe i can do something to modify the script. What do you want? different location for mdf and ldf but only 2 paths?
for example
1 directory for mdf (all mdf files)
and
1 directory for ldf (all ldf files)

Questions :
1. Migrate from sql 2000 to sql 2005? The script is not tested for server migration sql 2000 to sql 2005. It is only tested for sql 2000 to sql 2000 and sql 2005 to sql 2005
2. I think i can tweak the script to accept .dmp files as long as the backup process is a native sql backup.
3. If you are restoring sql 2005 to sql 2005 server the 2 tables mentioned in the script must be changed with the appropriate table schema for sql 2005 (see posts of pau for the 2 tables schema for 2005)

if the conditions below apply i think you can use the script even if the backup is .dmp extension
1. MSSQL 2000
2. Backup Process is a "Native SQL Backup"
- Just change the value in the @extension variable from 'BAK' to ' your extension'
- also change this syntax
DELETE FROM cmdshell_lester WHERE FEntry NOT LIKE '%.BAK%'
TO
DELETE FROM cmdshell_lester WHERE FEntry NOT LIKE '%your extension%'
Please reply for the result.......

Lester,
Great idea. I need a script that does this. Has it been run/tested against SQL Server 2005? When I run this script it fails b/c the restore headeronly command returns 51 columns, but the work table has significantly fewer columns on it.
Chris.

Sorry for the late reply refer to the previous post in this thread. You will see 1 member posting the 2 table schema of the tables you are saying. Change the 2 tables with the tables provided in the said post and reply your feedback if it is working

Thanks Lester, I ended up re-writing it so that it would insert into those tables and it worked great.

Hi,
i use the latest script post and i get this error message
Insert Error: Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.
all my servers are Collation Binary (case sensitive,accent sensitive).
THX
December 16, 2008 at 6:04 pm
I think that is what causing the error since you are in case sensitive mode. Try changing the created tables with the actual table listed by Microsoft in the web then give it a try

Hi - thanks for the script Lester, it will save me a lot of time!! This is the version I used to restore from 2000 to 2008 - some slight tweaks of the header_lester and migration_lester tables to match the outputs from the RESTORE HEADONLY and RESTORE FILELISTONLY statements. Also had to change the position of the substring function from 40 to 37 to match what I was getting back from the 'dir /od' command:
