2005 v/s 2000 compatibility

  • Are there are known issues with restoring a SQL 2005 backup to SQL 2000?

  • There is only one issue with restoring a SQL 2005 database into SQL 2000...it cannot be done. The physical structures between the 2 versions have changes and are not compatible.

  • you could use a tool (eg ssis) to move the data and objects from the 2K5 database to the sql2k database..

    Not sure what problems you'd hit - I've only gone forward.

    May be tricky if the 2K5 database is using features only available in sql2K5.
