I have created my database in sqlserver2008 r2,I want to degrade it to sqlserver2005.
I set the "SCRIPT For Server Version" option to 2005 while generating script,but I'm getting error with a table which has column with date data type.
Just change the script manually from date to datetime or smalldatetime. SQL Server isn't going to do that automatically for data types, unfortunately.

I am trying to convert and migrate an Oracle schema to MSSQL server. At the last step, migrating data, I get the error message:
The table [MYDATABASE].[MYSCHEMA].MYTABLE] doesnot exist in target. You must first convert the table then load it into the database.
This error message appears for each table in my schema.
Can someone explain what is happening and what I need to do to get past this?
Are you tries to migrate the data before doing the ‘synchronize with the database’ operation?
If Yes,
This error message generally occurs when the target table doesn’t
exist on SQL server database. After converting schema, you need to
synchronize the table with the database before migrating the data.
To do this you right click on the SQL Server database in Metadata
explorer and click “Synchronize with database” menu.
Note: Table structure will not be created in the SQL server database until you synchronize.
We get data delivered to us in a flat file. A date column we want to store in a destination column called DWValidFrom has the following format:
2017-02-06T22:07:09Z
In SSIS using a Flat File Connection Manager, I set the datatype of said column to DT_DBTIMESTAMPOFFSET. It correctly shows us when checking the data in the Columns and Preview pages of the Connection Manager.
In SQL Server, I created the destination table, and defined the DWValidFrom column as datetimeoffset(0):
[DWValidFrom] [datetimeoffset](0) NOT NULL,
When I attempt to set the mappings in the OLE DB Destination object, which has been set to the SQL Server table in question, SSIS won't have it, and throws the following error:
The OLE DB provider used by the OLE DB adapter cannot convert between types "DT_DBTIMESTAMPOFFSET" and "DT_WSTR" for "DWValidFrom".
Suspecting something off with my regional settings, I issued the following query in Management Studio to ensure the format of the date wouldn't change:
SELECT CAST('2017-02-06T22:07:09Z' AS datetimeoffset(0))
This yielded the following result:
2017-02-06 22:07:09 +00:00
Why is SSIS not recognizing the column's proper data type? I do not have any other conversions or expressions set, so I'm confused as to why SSIS won't allow me to push a valid datetimeoffset.
We're using SQL Server 2014, Visual Studio 2015.
Thanks.
This sounds like the OLEDB source metadata is out of sync with the changes you made on the flat file connection manager. The quickest fix it would be to recreate the OLEDB source, but don't do that quite yet.
SSIS is not going to like that standard ISO format for the date. If you remove the "T" in the middle and the "Z" at the end it be ok. i.e.
2017-02-06 22:07:09
Because of this conversion issue in SSIS, the connection manager will probably fail in converting the string to datetimeoffset. So you will need to configure it as a string and then fix it's value in a derived column:
(DT_DBTIMESTAMPOFFSET, 0) REPLACE(REPLACE( [DWValidFrom] , "T", " " ), "Z", "")
Hope that helps,

The issue seemed to be that the OLEDB destination does not recognize datetimeoffset as a valid column format. Despite everything working in SQL Server and SSIS pushing a datetime that would be perfectly valid, the OLEDB destination wouldn't have any of it.
I considered using a SQL Server destination, but because the target server is a different server than the one we develop on, that wasn't an option either.
The fix for us was to instead format the columns using datetime as a datatype, which causes us to loose the timezone info, but because all of the dates were UTC, we really don't miss any data.
Quick Answer: Set DataTypeCompatibility to 0
I noticed in Connection Manager for my SQL Server Native Client 11.0 (OLEDB) connection, clicking on "All", then under the SQLNCLI11.1 section there's a value DataTypeCompatibility which was set to "80". 80 is code for SQL Server 2000 compatibility, well before they introduced TimeStampOffset (or in my case DT_DBDATE and DT_DBTIME2 types). I tried setting compatibility to 130, then 100, but "Test Connection" failed.
At https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/native-client/applications/using-connection-string-keywords-with-sql-server-native-client?view=sql-server-2017 there's a table, specifying information about this value
DataTypeCompatibility SSPROP_INIT_DATATYPECOMPATIBILITY Specifies the mode of data type handling to use. Recognized values are "0" for provider data types and "80" for SQL Server 2000 data types.
Changing the value to 0, then refreshing all of my connections using the OLEDB connection manager seems to have done the trick - now all my database's types are recognized rather than forcing it to nvarchar/DT_WSTR
How can we turn off CommandBehavior=SequentialAccess in SQL Server Management Studio so as to avoid this error ?
An error occurred while executing batch. Error message is: Retrieving
encrypted column 'DATA' with CommandBehavior=SequentialAccess is not
supported.
Background : I am using SQL Server 2016 CTP 3. I have a table with nvarchar(max)columns encrypted using Always Encrypted.
We're currently working on getting this fixed. You can use https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/2413024 to track the status of that - but the current target is for the next monthly release of SSMS.

This issue has been addressed. SSMS now supports decrypting nvarchar(max) columns.
From the Object Explorer of SQL Server Management Studio I renamed a table from nameA to nameB. When I query SELECT * from nameB I receive the error
object name 'nameA' not valid
This happens both from Management Studio and an external application. SELECT * from nameA gives the same error.
Restarting the service didn't help. Table name in sysobjects is correct. Is there maybe another place where SQL Server looks up table names? Thanks, it's getting me quite crazy :S
I'm using SQL Server 11.0.2100.60
Solved with a workaround:
I generated scripts for table schema and data, dropped the table and run scripts to recreate table schema and data. NOTE: I needed to manually modify the generated scripts because of mistakes in smalldatetime fields which made the generated INSERTs fail.
So it seems that dropping tables resets the "denormalized" SQL Server internal catalog which was left inconsistent somewhen. Thanks MS! ;)
I have SQL server and SQL management studio 2012. After i create tables and when i export the data base to the server "online" every "primary and auto incremental" field become as a normal field. so when i try to add row to database i have the following error
"Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'taskID', table 'lawyersDB.dbo.tasks'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The statement has been terminated."
To solve this problem i have to manage the database "online" and go to each table and set again the fields primary and auto incremental. Since i have many tables, this process takes lot of time.
So Any idea to solve this problem!?

This is SQL Management Studio, not your account.
Try this:
You need to set this, or else if you have a non-nullable column, with no default error, if you provide no value it will error.
To set up auto-increment in SQL Server Management Studio:
Open your table in Design
Select your column and go to Column Properties
Under Indentity Specification, set (Is Identity)=Yes and Indentity Increment=1
