                                            | Hi All,we are migrating one of our SQL 2000 database to new SQL 2008 R2 server. So to check migration issues, I executed SQL 2008 upgrade adviser for SQL2000 database. Upgrade adviser showed me very less issues. So I manuallu checked some SQL2000 db objects and found it is not reporting all issues. Like one of the SP is using non-ansi join (=*) but it is not reported by upgrade adviser.anyone knows why this is not coming in upgrade adviser report? is there any alternative tool available like upgrade adviser? |

                                          We were in the same position. Not sure why Upgrade Advisor did not tell you about *=. In any event, you can either convert these or run 2008 in compatibility mode 2000 (i.e. 8). If you can, convert these!In any event, here is a query to identify these:SELECT   OBJECT_NAME(object_id),   (SELECT type_desc FROM sys.objects O WHERE O.Object_ID = M.OBJECT_ID),   *FROM  sys.sql_modules MWHERE  (Definition LIKE '%*=%' OR Definition LIKE '%=*%')ORDER BY  2, 1   |
