How open my SQLServer2008R2 database in SQLServer2012. When I open the database these problems happened:
I can't edit and open tables because this error show:
Invalid prefix and suffix characters.
When I want design tables this error show:
The backend version isn't supported to design database diagram or tables.
When you detach and attach database, the compatibility level of old database is maintained. It is one of the limitations of detach and attach method.
Reference
If we attach a database having a higher version, SQL Server maintains
the database compatibility. We can change the compatibility level once
the database is online
Once you change the compatibility level to suit SQL Server 2012, you can use the new features of the SQL Server 2012.

ALTER DATABASE DatabaseName SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL = 110

I'm using the MS Data Migration Assistant tool to move a SQL Server 2016 DB to Azure. I'm getting the following error on 80+ stored procedures:
Queries or references using three- or four-part names not supported in Azure SQL Database. Three-part name format, [database_name].[schema_name].[object_name], is supported only when the database_name is the current database or the database_name is tempdb and the object_name starts with #.
All of these stored procedures are using the current database and referencing the current database name. For example, this instruction is causing the error:
DELETE FROM [STDR].[dbo].[report] WHERE [report_id] = #xid
and when I run the command:
SELECT DB_NAME();
I get:
STDR
Could this be an error in the DMA tool? It's preventing me from executing the migration. I'd rather not have to modify all of these procedures. Thanks.
1.Queries or references using three- or four-part names not supported in Azure SQL Database.
It's not the error in the DMA tool. Cross database queries using three or four part names is not supported in Azure SQL Server.
You can read more in the official documentation:Resolving Transact-SQL differences during migration to SQL Database。
2.Three-part name format, [database_name].[schema_name].[object_name], is supported only when the database_name is the current database or the database_name is tempdb and the object_name starts with #.
About this question, I have an idea and I think you can try it. You can specify target Azure Database instance which has the same database name and the same schema objects with your on-premises SQL Server. Otherwise, when your SQL Server 2016 DB is migrated to Azure, the current database is not [STDR] and cause the error.
Reference: Migrate on-premises SQL Server or SQL Server on Azure VMs to Azure SQL Database using the Data Migration Assistant.
Hope this helps.
It's just the four-part name or three-part name that is not compatible with Azure SQL Database. You can script all your programing objects and then change the three part name format to two-part name format (dbo.[NameOfTheObjet]) on the script using Find and Replace on a text editor like Notepad++, then run that script on your Azure SQL Database to migrate your programming objects.
After that you can use DMA only to migrate the schema and data of your tables.
I have two SQL Server 2008 instances, one running Workgroup Edition (publisher) and the other Standard (subscriber)
I am trying to replicate a database but I am getting errors when it tries to create the database at the subscriber because it thinks it is running SQL Server 2005 for some reason.
Has anyone had this issue before?
I am getting this error
Column Location in object Members contains type Geography, which
is not supported in the target server version, SQL Server 2005.
Have you checked compatibility mode for the databases?
For example:
SELECT compatibility_level
FROM sys.databases WHERE name = 'YourDBName';
I used the below command to create a database snapshot in SQL Server 2008 R2:
CREATE DATABASE "dbss" ON (
NAME = "os-file-name",
FILENAME = 'path')
AS SNAPSHOT OF "dbName";
GO
I got this error:
Database Snapshot is not supported on Standard Edition (64-bit).
Does anyone knows how can I create a database snapshot in SQL Server 2008 R2?
Database Snapshot is a feature of the Enterprise Edition and the 2008 Developer Edition.
Besides that there is only little use of Snapshots for a "common user". Most things can be done with a backup too.
Main purpose for snapshots are expensive queries on rapidly changing data.
If you got a huge database and need to execute a query for a report that takes some time there is the danger that data may change while the query / procedure fetches data for the report. In this case you need snapshots. There you can query all your data without having problems with changing data.
I thought that SQL Azure was built on top of SQL Server 2012, but the compatibility level when you create a new database is 100 (SQL Server 2008's compatibility level), not 110.
SELECT compatibility_level FROM sys.databases WHERE name = 'Test';
I tried changing it to 110 using the two methods that I am aware of:
ALTER DATABASE Test SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL = 110;
--> Incorrect syntax near 'SET'.
EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel 'Test', 110;
--> Could not find stored procedure 'sp_dbcmptlevel'.
The reason this is an issue for me is because SQL 2008 doesn't support geography shapes which cross hemispheres, so if you zoom out a map to see the world and try to store the bounds of the map it will fail. Pretty silly right?
I thought that this would not be an issue in SQL Azure, because it has been fixed in SQL Server 2012, but when I try to create a shape that crosses hemispheres I get the following error:
Microsoft.SqlServer.Types.GLArgumentException: 24205: The specified input does not represent a valid geography instance because it exceeds a single hemisphere. Each geography instance must fit inside a single hemisphere. A common reason for this error is that a polygon has the wrong ring orientation. To create a larger than hemisphere geography instance, upgrade the version of SQL Server and change the database compatibility level to at least 110.
So it is telling me to change the compatibility level, like it knows that this has been fixed already, but I can't figure out how to do that in SQL Azure. Anyone have a suggestion of something to try? Or let me know if it just is not possible right now?
It is hard to say if the current SQL Azure is based on SQL Server 2008 or 2012 however November 2011 update adds lots of new feature to it from SQL Server 2008 and 2012. More Info on Database Engine Versions:
Updated Engine Version: This release updates the underlying SQL Azure database engine version from 11.0.1477.26 to 11.0.1750.34 as it is rolled out across data centers.
The following link talks about what is and what not supported with SQL Azure comparative to SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2:

The following links adds more info about what new Programmability Enhancements are added in SQL Azure from SQL Server 2012:

UPDATE: August 2015
Azure Sql Database V12 has a default compatibility level of 120 with possibility to go up to 130 or down using ALTER DATABASE SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL syntax.
Hey folks, the person I am buildling a website for decided to design their own database. They used Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to build it and such. Now that they are done with the database they exported it to a text file (Tasks -> Generate Scripts). Now when I try to import the file into phpmyadmin I get the following error:
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '[master] GO /****** Object: Database [Butterbakers] Script Date: 02/15/201' at line 1
The database code is here: http://zamn.pastebin.com/Y3u7MpZ9
phpmyadmin is for MySQL.
Microsoft SQL Server is a different DBMS.
Large parts of the SQL Syntax is DBMS/vendor specific.
The MySQL Workbench has a feature to "Create EER Model from existing Database".
This may be a try but you need a jdbc connection to the MS SQL Server and MySQL...
Converting DDL to a different DBMS is all but easy. And if you're done this doesn't guarantee that an probably already existing application is still working with the other DBMS.
Not switching DBMS and using the free MS SQL Express could be an option.
First decide for a DBMS and restart form zero is surely the cleanest and less painful solution.
With SQL Compare (http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-compare/) and SQL Data Compare (http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-data-compare/) , you can synchronize different DB.
