Hai,
what do u mean by database compatibility. i tried changeing the database compatibility with the following command
EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel 'myDB', 80

after that i check the version and gives the following
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2039 (Intel X86) May 3 2005 23:18:38 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 1)

Why do we need to use that...
if i set the compatibility level, still can i utilize the full futures of SQL server 2000 db..
Pls advise.
Sara

Compatibility 80 is for SQL Server 2000. You can use full features of it
