Migrating from SQL 2000 to 2005

  • We've been asked to take lead on some of the migration tasks from 2000 to 2005 as follows:

    Identify / migrate all used tables to 2005.

    Identify / migrate used views to 2005.

    Identify / migrate used functions to 2005.

    Identify / migrate used sprocs to 2005.

    Identify / migrate user RS2005 reports to 2005 (along w/data sources, sprocs or queries).

    Identify / migrate active DTS jobs to 2005.

    My grand question: What are the best practices or steps that should be followed, and in what direction or sequence for a smooth, effective transition?

    Any input from the experts will be welcome and definitely given some thought.

    Regards,

    John

  • Maybe I wasn't specific enough and I apologize, but our DBA has already done those tasks. I guess the tasks that I've been asked of are Data Analysis/Reporting related tasks, such as, identifying the RS2000 Reports that need to be migrated to SSRS2005. Any sprocs used by our RS2005 reports; functions; tables or views; DTS packages that need to be migrated to SSIS 2005. I could look at each report and log the datasource, sproc, etc that it uses and make sure all this gets migrated to 2005. I was just wondering if there was a more efficient way.
