asked on
can I salvage DTS local packages from msdbdata.mdf?
SQL 7.0
Win2K Server
situation:
power supply burned out motherboard & tape drive, rendered machine and drives useless
retrieved all MDFs and LDFs from drives
acquired new machine, but could not get old drives to work with new board
thus got new drives witha new install of Win2K Server & SQL7
was able to successfully reattach all MDFs and LDFs
BUT all DTS packages were local (and thus in msdb)
so I have msdbdata.mdf from old machine/drives and need to retrieve the DTS packages. Any way I can do this?

Attach it as a different database. You need not keep the DB name the same when attaching. Try:
sp_attach_single_file_db 'OldMSDBData', 'C:\OldData\msdbdata.mdf'
Once it is attached, you can *try* to get the info from the old sysdtspackages table to the new one. You will probably need to turn on inserts to system tables, though.
sp_attach_single_file_db 'OldMSDBData', 'C:\OldData\msdbdata.mdf'
