    SQL 2008 has no problems with 2005 data files. It will convert them to 2008 format the first time they're attached. Once that conversion is done, there's no going back...

    Several possibilities

    Someone ran DBCC FREEPROCCACHE

  • RE: PASSWORD

    Login names are easy. Query sys.sql_logins. Passwords, on the other hand, are stored hashed within the master database and are not queryable.
