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_purity
    • EXEC 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.
