  • Really nothing to worry about with any of those. Do a good backup first, then upgrade. As easy as it gets.

  • The only issue we ran into when upgrading from SQL Server 7.0 to SQL Server 2000 was that we were using the word Function (and we still are) as a column name. SQL Server 7.0 didn't care, however SQL Server 2000 wouldn't let us use it until we put the word function in brackets like this: [Function].

    So unless you think you are using any reserved words as column names you should be fine. And even if you are, I would still upgrade. Either put the brackets around questionable column names before or immediately after. Also, even though the words First and Last are always highlighted in blue in the Query Analyzer, they don't cause any problem as column names.
