No. Sorry.
No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die. |

| The only supported way would be to restore the database to a SQL 2008 server and then use SSIS packages to export/import the schema and data into a SQL 2005 database.You may also be able to find some unsupported methods out there but I would only use them in a dire emergency as they involve heavily modifying the system objects and tables within the database. |
