Updating the database from SQL Server 2008 to 2012
I have been using SQL Server 2008 With Visual Studio 2008. Now I am using SQL Server 2012 With Visual Studio 2012. For now, I just want to get the database updated so I can restore it in SQL Server 2012. Is there a query that will handle this task? I tried using the restore query that I always use:
Database name: -- jandmmfg
Restore database jandmmfg from disk
= ‘F:\Backups\SQL\jandmmfg.B
With recovery, replace
...
This gave me an error…
...
Msg 5133, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Directory lookup for the file "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSER

I have seen this error when restoring to a new database and the destination directory doesn't exist. SQL Server won't create directories for you.
Does the directory "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSER
Does the directory "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSER
SQL Server 2008 was Developer edition. I am using SQL Server 2012 Express edition while I wait for the delivery of SQL Server 2012 Developer edition if that makes a difference.
Use the MOVE clause to place the data and log files wherever you want. A word of caution, typically using C: is not a good choice, but if this is just your home version it should be fine.
Create the directories then, and try again.
The original error message even says: Directory lookup for the file "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSER
Create the destination directory, try again and you may want to move the files around afterwards to where ever you need them to be.
In fact, there was a question asked today by someone else about moving DB files around:

Something like this (change the logical names and enter the full path to the data files including their physical names as appropriate):
RESTORE DATABASE jandmmfg
FROM DISK= 'F:\Backups\SQL\jandmmfg.BAK'
WITH NORECOVERY,
MOVE 'jandmmfg_Data' TO '<full path of your data file goes here>',
MOVE 'jandmmfg_Log' TO '<full path of your transaction log file goes here>'
acperkins,
I received this error after the MOVE statement.
Msg 3234, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Logical file 'jandmmfg_Data' is not part of database 'jandmmfg'. Use RESTORE FILELISTONLY to list the logical file names.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

Thank you all for your help. I am going do an upgrade in place from SQL Server 2008 to 2012. I think that in the ticket. Happy New Year everybody.

That is why I specifically stated change the logical names and enter the full path to the data files including their physical names as appropriate. I have no idea what names you used. And yes using RESTORE FILELISTONLY will answer that question for you.
