Copy database from 2012 to 2008r2

  • Hi All,

    I have "Quiz database" in sql server 2012, Now i want copy same database in another 2008 server(SQL server 2008)

    I used copy database option but while execution it is throwing error.

    Note: I have not implemented any 2012 features in "QUIZ" database. earlier it take backup from 2008 and restored in 2012 server. Now it is not working back-word restoration.

    Is there any third-party tool to do this operation.

    Regards,

    RR

  • Even if you have a 2012 database in 2008 compatability mode, it's still a 2012 database internally, and therefore incompatible with 2008. Possibly the most straightforward way would be to use SSIS to do the transfer

    I used "Transfor Dtabase Task" transformation in SSIS, it is also not working , it is showing source and destination comparability level issue .

  • Rather than Copying the Database Copy from SQL 2012 to SQL 2008, please try import/ export utility & transfer the Tables Views & Functions....

    You can also use Generate Scripts & move Store Procedure ...
