I reviewed the SQL Server 2012 technical upgrade guide and also googled for more recommendations.
I am migrating a SQL Server 2008 R2 instance to SQL Server 2012 on a separate machine.
Here is what I plan to do. Please correct and advise your recommendations.
On SQL Server 2008 R2 instance:
- I ran the SQL Server upgrade advisor instance.
- Take backup after all activity is stopped.
On SQL Server 2012 instance:
- Restored SQL Server 2008 R2 backups
- Update the database compatibility level to 110
dbcc checkdb with data_purityEXEC sp_updatestats;EXEC sp_MSforeachtable @command1='UPDATE STATISTICS ? WITH FULLSCAN';DBCC UPDATEUSAGE(dbname);
I will have the logins, job setup separately.
Do I need to rebuild the indexes? Any thing else?
I truly value your input and hope to hear your recommendations.
Thank you.
