SQL 2005 backward compatibility to v65?

  • I am currently using SQL 2000 for all web application databases and all are at level 80 except for one. This one database is still at version 65 due to the web application not functioning properly after we upgraded to 70 and then to 2000 (with sp3a). I would like to eventually upgrade to 2005, but don't have the resources to modify all existing stored procedures in this v65 database. My question is does SQL 2005 have backward compatibility to 65?

  • AFAIK the only db-level for SQL2005 to support are 70, 80 and 90.

    Try the SQL2005 Upgrade Advisor to check your database.

    You may even want to download sqlserver 2005 express edition to test if the db would still work with the new db-engine but without the cost of a new version $$, or download the trial version (enterprise edition !)

  • You must upgrade a 6.5 database to 7 or 2000 first.
