  • That is a very broad question.

    Start by finding your queries that are performing poorly and optimize them.

    Load test the server

    Have somebody perform applications testing against the database to ensure no bugs were created due to the upgrade.

  • looked for all the build-in system functions and query types (joins) used in previous version and confirm if they still work in newer versions.

    3.Pulled all the datatypes used in previous versions and map them to new version's datatype - it will mostly match. Also, checked if you use newer datatype for better space and performance behaviours.

    Created some handy scripts that can make couple of things faster and easier like login migration, after migration health check script.e.g DBCC Commands.

    5.The helpfull tools in the process is profiler and its re-play functionality. Capture all the queries that run on previous version and test replay them in new version's test environment and go on fixing the queries that are having trouble with.

    Thanks
