Upgrade 2005 to 2008 sql server

  • I ran the upgrade sql server 2008 on sql 2005 machine and it ran successfully. I thought after upgrading all the database should be converted into 2008 sql server by checking compatibility level. the level is still SQL Server 2005(90).

    Few question.

    - After upgrade, do I need to run any tool to migrate 2005 objects to 2008 ?

    - After upgrade, do I need to convert analysis database, cubes, integration to 2008 sql server.

  • After inplace upgrade..you need to change compatibility mode to 100 manually.

  • That's all we have to do.. How about integration packages and Analysis cubes

  • you have to upgrade ssis packages,recreate all SQL Agent jobs,setup db mail,rebuild index and update stas with full scan,recreate alerts and warnings,enable all startup proc`s and run dbcc checkdb on all user and system db`s.

  • I just checked about the option when I was upgrading to 2008. there is a option called " Launch Upgrade Advisor Analysis Wizard"

    when I trying to click that it is prompted me to enter Instance name, when I enter instance as Server Name it gives me an error. like "A network related or instance specific error occured while establishing a connection to SQL Server"

    Do you think this wizard will upgrade SSIS packages to 2008 packages. ?

  • no, it will not upgrade SSIS Packages.
