upgrade SQ: 6.5 to 2000

  • upgrade failed to copy data, all the structures where created. How do I transfer the data?

  • DTS will do it pretty easily. I'd make sure you that you all the constraints and indexes, not just the tables. Probably are there, doesnt hurt to check. Might do just as well to drop everything and try again.

  • 1. Stop SQL 6.5 Services and copy mdf/ldf files . Rename files if you like

    2.attach files to SQL 2000 using enterprise manager ie highlight databases >all tasks> attach

    3. SQL 2000 will see it as SQL 6.5 DB , work O.K

    4. Check Collation when running set up as it might cause issues with temp db

    That method would work for moving SQL Server 7.0 databases to 2000, but SQL 6.5 does not share the same database file/device format as the others so it is not an option.
