    No, it is not.

    The only way is to script all the objects, export all the data and recreate the DB on a lower version.

    Unless you or someone else creates a table in msdb, they are all system tables. Unless I'm missing something.

  • RE: Complete Case Statement Meltdown...HELP

    It looks like you have a condition after the ELSE. That's not how CASE works, the ELSE is the catch-all for data that doesn't satisfy any of the preceding checks
