Dispute of all the complexities, technical errors, and other challenges, users can easily get the desired solution with adequate methods as well as knowledge of technicalities. In addition, the drawbacks &amp; features of the methods are also mentioned here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, we\u2019re well aware of the objectives of this guide i.e, SQL server 2012 to 2016 migration. We must acknowledge that SQL server is without a doubt one of the best RDBMS. However, such migration tasks can be a little complicated in several cases. Other than that, SQL is the most trusted database management system for users around the world. Let\u2019s start with addressing the challenges that users face.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>SQL Server 2012 to 2016 Upgrade Issues That Users Face<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, there are obstacles everywhere as nothing is totally perfect. Similarly, this migration or database upgradation task also has several challenges. Let\u2019s have a look at them prior to starting with the solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Risk of Data Loss<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a high risk present in this process of upgradation that can cause loss of data. Users should be aware of each&amp; every step as their data is their most valuable asset &amp; can\u2019t be compromised at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Complex Procedure<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This procedure is complex for sure as we know that multiple steps are present here with several sensitive areas to focus on. It\u2019s difficult for users to follow the procedure as they aren\u2019t aware of the best solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Lack of Technicalities<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without the right knowledge of SQL server technicalities, users can not get the perfect solution for their SQL server 2012 to 2016 migration task. When we move further, we can say that these technicalities are the key to avoiding all errors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Database Corruption<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If not data loss, then for sure, corruption in database files is one of the reasons that trouble users. The incorrect execution of the operation can significantly result in the corruption of database files at a higher level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Selection of Tool &amp; Technique<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last but not the least, users must select the best tool &amp; technique for their operation. There are both manual &amp; automated solutions present, &amp; users can select any of them based on the below-mentioned drawbacks &amp; advantages of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcvita.com\/blog\/migrate-sql-server-2014-to-2019.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Migrate SQL Server 2014 to 2019<\/a> Version in a Smart Manner<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><b>Manual Ways for SQL Server 2012 to 2016 Migration<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no manual method present for users to get the perfect solution without any difficulties. Well, there is no <\/span><b>DIRECT manual method<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to be precise. But users can get their results by indirect methods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of Migrating the database, users need to undergo three processes i.e, <\/span><b>Repair<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><b> Backup<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, &amp; <\/span><b>Export<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Now, let\u2019s talk about the operation in detail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Repair Process: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s difficult for users t migrate the database with damaged or corrupted database files in them. Therefore, it\u2019s beneficial for users to repair the database files prior to the migration while opting for the manual method.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Backup Process: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once, all the files are healthy &amp; free from corruption or any kind of damage, it\u2019s time to level up. Users should take a full backup of their data files &amp; save it locally on their system for the migration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Export Process: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, users just need to export the backup file to the destination SQL server database to complete the SQL server 2012 to 2016 upgrade safely. Once, all the files are exported to the destination, the migration task is completed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Drawbacks:-<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a high possibility that users may get confused as there are three processes involved here &amp; each has multiple steps.<\/span><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">T-SQL queries are required for this &amp; not all users are proficient in them to execute the operation this way.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a high risk of data loss present in this method as one single mistake can wipe out all the data files.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a time taking method for users to get their results &amp; isn\u2019t efficient at all.
