  • 0

I need to transfer a database from a SQL Server instance test server to a production environment that is clustered. But SQL Server doesn’t allow you to use backup/restore to do it from single instance to cluster. I’m talking about a Microsoft CRM complex database here.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

  1. Have a look at the Microsoft SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard:

    SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard enables the deployment of SQL Server databases into a hosted environment on either a SQL Server 2000 or 2005 server. It generates a single SQL script file which can be used to recreate a database (both schema and data) in a shared hosting environment where the only connectivity to a server is through a web-based control panel with a script execution window. If supported by the hosting service provider, the Database Publishing Wizard can also directly upload databases to servers located at the shared hosting provider.

    Optionally, SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard can integrate directly into Visual Studio 2005 and/or Visual Web Developer 2005 allowing easy publishing of databases from within the development environment.

    You don’t have to use the server-side piece; the client-side ‘create a script’ piece is generally enough.
