Import SQL 2000 DB into SQL 2005

  • Question from someone new to 2005. I have a Full backup from SQL 2000 (v. 8). How can I bring that over to the new server with SQL 2005 and easily import the DB? I tried several methods already. I tried exporting the 2000 DB into Access and then importing into 2005. Thanks in advance (desperate to get things up and running -- great forum site, by the way!).

  • you should copy the backup files to new server. Now, try restoring it on the new databases. see if that works.

  • Just backup the database from the 2000 server and restore the backup file in sql server 2005. this should be doing fine for your requirement.
