Got myself in a bit of a pickle here … working on a CMS

  • 0

Got myself in a bit of a pickle here … working on a CMS project, under the assumption that sql server 2008 was greenlighted as the db of choice. Well it wasn’t, we now have to backport all of our content out SQL Server 2008 and into SQL Server 2005.

A simple backup/restore procedure yields: ‘RESTORE HEADERONLY is terminating abnormally. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 3241)’.

Unfortunately, exporting the data to an excel spreadsheet yields multiple OLE errors which I believe is actually a problem in the db of the cms.

Does anyone out there have other approaches they would like to recommend for this task? Thanks in advance

  1. Use RedGate:

    tool for comparing and deploying SQL Server database contents.

    You can work with live databases, backups, or SQL scripts in source control. Damaged or missing data can be restored to a single row, without the need for a full database recovery.

    SQL Data Compare helps you compare and deploy changes quickly, simply, and with zero errors…
