Sybase 15.0.2 manual Method #2 BCP data out Method #3 Replacing the binary

CHAPTER 5 Upgrading Adaptive Server

Method #2: BCP data out and in

Method #3: Replacing the binary

3 Create devices and databases to match those in the 32-bit server. Make sure that the sysusages mapping is correct. See document ID #1324 at http://my.sybase.com/detail?id=1324.

Note Allow 10 percent additional space for the sybsystemprocs database.

4Dump the databases on the 32-bit server.

5Load the databases to the 64-bit server.

6If you have partitioned tables, update partition statistics.

7Run dbcc checks on the 64-bit server and make sure they run cleanly.

8For information on upgrading compiled objects, see “Upgrading compiled objects with dbcc upgrade_object” on page 109.

If you have DDL scripts to create devices, databases, tables, rules, stored procedures, triggers, and views, you can use bcp to move data out of the old database and into the new.

If you do not have DDL scripts, use the ddlgen utility to re-create the schema for the Adaptive Server you are about to upgrade. See the Utility Guide.

1Run dbcc checks on databases to verify data integrity.

2Use bcp to extract all the data from all the tables in the databases.

3Create a new 64-bit Adaptive Server in a new directory.

4Create devices, databases, and tables.

5Use bcp to bulk copy data into tables.

6Re-create all views, triggers, stored procedures.

7Run dbcc checks on the 64-bit server and make sure they run cleanly.

The third method requires you to modify some key files, re-create stored procedures, then replace the binary.

1Run dbcc checks (checkdb, checkalloc, checkcatalog and checkstorage) on

all databases in the 32-bit Adaptive Server and make sure they run cleanly.

2In a new directory, copy the files for the 64-bit Adaptive Server.

3Shut down the 32-bit server.

4Copy the interfaces file and the configuration file from the 32-bit $SYBASE directory to the 64-bit $SYBASE directory.
