Migrating from 2005 to 2008R2, compatibility level 100

  • Hi

    We just migrated from 2005 to 2008R2 developer edition. Now we plan to use compatibility level 100 for our databases.

    Can anyone pls suggest what issues might arise because of this? I have gone thru the below mentioned link and dont see a problem here.

    But still want to be sure that my procs and functions dont break when we change the level.

    Wow, I hope you're not asking for people that have no idea what you're environment, data or code is like to provide some type of validation that if you change the compat level on a production database that nothing will break.

    If you want to be sure, the only way to know is to test.

  • what was the former db level ?

    If it was 90, I'm pretty confident it will work with 100.

    Did you run the upgrade adviser (sqlua) ?

    It will analyze and detect potential problems and does a good job with that !

    Of course the only way to be 100% sure is to test _all_ your stuff with the new setting !

  • Thanks ALZDBA. I'll run the advisor. Previous level was 90.I too hope that 100 should not be a trouble either. Moreover it is Dev and QA environment, so not a big problem.......thanks
