Question : Converting form MSSQL 2000 to MSSQL 2005
|
|
Hi, I am trying to convert a database form MSSQL 2000 to MSSQL 2005. The DB used to be running on a server called SRV2000 I have imported the 2000 DB to a server called: SRV2005
After the import is done, I can see the newly imported DB under the "Registered Servers" tree in the SQL Management studio. It sits under SRV2005.
But when I go and run this query: select @@servername I get: SRV2000 instead of the expected SRV2005 What can I do? Thank you.

>I have imported the 2000 DB to a server called: SRV2005 how? It looks to me that you only created a LINKED server, and did not copy the database, ie that you run the select @@servername in a connection to SRV2000
to copy a database, you have to: BACKUP the database on sql server 2000, copy the backupfile over, and RESTORE it there
