Hey everyone, I'm currently working on migrating a SQL 2000 database to SQL Server 2012. In order for me to do that, I need to upgrade the database on SQL Server 2008 and then change the database level, then restore that on the SQL Server 2012 instance.
I currently have SQL Server 2008 Express installed but I can't restore the 2000 database on the express version because there is a limit size.
Can anyone suggest any workarounds for this or share so information on how to upgrade SQL 2008 Express to the developer version?
I also can't seem to find where I can download SQL Server 2008 Developer/Standard any where. Does anyone have a link?

The SQL2008 evaluation edition still seems to be available:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=1279
You had better check the licensing implications.
If you do use this, I would be inclined to put it on a VM and delete it immediately after you have done the conversion.
