Restore databases (sql version 7) to a server that have sql version 2000

  • I've been asked to restore 2 databases (sql version 7) in a server with sql version 2000 just want to ask if there can be any error/problem restoring databases from 7.0 to 2000? I've tried migrating the whole server from 7 to 2000 but haven't tried restoring some databases(version 7) to sql version 2000. Anyone experienced this kind of restoration? can you help me if there are any problems with this or there are none thanks in advance.

  • Do check your database's compatibility level after the restore, and set it if you are not happy with it.

    Only in case you want to make use of some of the 2000 features in your restored databases 🙂
