Guys,

i am trying to move database from from sql 2000 instance to sql 2005, for this move I am planning to use detach from SQL 2000 and
attach to 2005 process instead for backup and restore.

Are there any issues with attach and detach process acorss different versions.

Any suggestions and inputs would help.

Thanks

There shouldn't be any issues, but you should run a full backup before you detach the database just in case the upgrade fails and you can't re-attach it back to 2000.

If you have any READonly database make it READ/Write before detach and make sure all filegroup/datafiles are set to READ/WRIte. If there is any READ only filegroup. While ataching to different version it updates database headers and objects and in case of READ only you may constantly get error.
