SQL2000 to SQL2008R2 Migration

  • Hi there

    I am migrating databases from sql2005 (compatibility mode 80 - sql2000) to sql2008R2

    I need to know the following

    Is there any T-Sql which was working on SQ2000 will not work on 2008R2? if so, what are they any link will be good

    Any thing special i have to configure on DB level etc?

    Cheers

    Danny

  • I believe there is a deprecated feature check. I can't remember if it is on the installation disk or not but one does exist - run that and it should tell you.

  • you need SQL Server Upgrade advisor, you can download it here:

  • Absolutely run the Upgrade Advisor prior to the upgrade.

    I suspect the deprecated code you're thinking of is the old ANSI 89 OUTER JOIN syntax

    SELECT *

    FROM Table1,Table2

    WHERE Table1.ID *= TAble2.ID;

    You can't run queries like that in 2008R2
