It's easy if you control all the tables. What if you're being asked for a report from something like JD Edwards OneWorld, which is a large ERP package. The tables...

Good points. I sometimes get caught up in the "no more government" frenzy at times. Regulations do...

As mentioned, you can't go backwards. It's not the 32 v 64, it's the versions of the software. The compatibility level of the database doesn't matter.
