Upgrading SQL Server with Ispirer Toolkit

Upgrades are an essential part of any development process. Upgrading Microsoft SQL Server database is widely considered a complex process. In order for an upgrade to be successful, it should involve planning and preparation stages. There are upgrade issues that can be foreseen as well as those that cannot be foreseen, but that may effect the process. Of course, the goal of upgrading SQL Server is to enhance its performance and operation. However, the truth is that, failure on preparation stage is likely to result in lower productivity after the upgrade. Therefore, if you are planning to upgrade SQL Server from older versions to more recent ones, the best decision is to automate it.

Ispirer Toolkit is a highly automated conversion solution, that will help you easily switch between the two SQL Server database versions. With Ispirer Toolkit the upgrade process is quite simple and requires minimum manual efforts on the part of the user.

Why Ispirer Toolkit

There are many examples where process of upgrading from older to new versions of Microsoft SQL Server can cause existing working systems fail. This include:

• Row Count messages for failed DML Statements,
• Login Errors numbers,
• The GROUP BY clause with a subquery in earlier versions,
• Renamed Columns in System Views,
• Differences in SQL Statements.

These situations can now be handled automatically by Ispirer Toolkit. Versions changes that cause errors in migrations can be customized and accomplished automatically without any manual interventions.
