Copy database from SQLServer7 to 2000

  • I have installed SQLServer7 and 2000 in the same server, and I need to move a database to SQLServer2000. How can I do it?

  • I believe a detach / attach will work. You can also backup and restore from these two if I remember. Raul Sharma and Brian Knight have articles on this subject on this site.

  • Attach works well. It automatically upgrades the structure of the mdf to the SQL2K format when you attach, so you can't move it back to SQL7 later by detaching again.

  • what happens to the structure of the .MDF when you do the Restore method of upgrading ?

  • Same as attach.
