Importing from SQL7 using DTS wizard

We are trying to import data from a sql 7 machine into sql 2000 using
import wizard in DTS. One of the tables has in excess of 80 million
rows.

The first time we did this it worked fine no problems. However we had
to recreate the database, and it has not worked since.

The error message is reported as ' the log file for 'dbname' is full'.
This happens regardless of the fact that there is 100GB free on disk,
and that the database data and log files are both set to autogrow. The
recovery model is set to simple.

When imported the data.mdf file should be around 20GB.

Would anyone know what is causing this or how to get around this
without going down the SQL7 install, restore and upgrade to sql2000
route?

Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Hi

You may want to try attaching the mdf and ldf files from the SQL 7 box onto
the SQL 2000 box and then making any modifications required or restore a
backup.

You don't say how big the log file is. If it is set to grow by a percentage
that value may be larger than the available disk space.

I just got Visual Studio 6 Enterprise which includes SQL Server 7.

The install routine claims this is because of the version of Windows I am using. Now I know that IIS isn't supposed to be installable on Windows XP Home but it is with a fairly straight forward hack, so what I was...

I'm trying to import an Excel spreadsheet into an existing Access table using Office 2003. Ultimately, the plan is to do it programmatically using TransferSpreadsheet, but to check that the file has no problems, I've done it manually with the Import Spreadsheet wizard. The worksheet has 43 rows, and I import a named range defined as "=Sheet1!$C:$E". The import works, but I get a table with 64K rows, all but 43 being blank!

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
