Hi,

Currently we have SQL server 2000 database for past 3 to 4 years. Now planning to move SQL Server 2005. The SQL 2000 database will be restored to 2005 server.
My questions are,

1. The SQL 2000 queries, Stored proc and views will work with SQL server 2005 without any changes?
2. Do the SQL server 2005 have backward compatability with SQL Server 2000 or we need to convert any specific SQL script after converting to 2005.
3. Is there any issues after conversion?

Please help me in this area.

Thanks in Advance!

Thanks,
Anbu

It depends on a number of issues: for example , if you have your SQL 2005 set at compatibility at 90 , then there are some requirements you need to look

Microsoft have an SQL 2005 upgrade advisor you can download and execute.

>> Do the SQL server 2005 have backward compatability with SQL Server 2000

You can set db to compatibility level 80 on sql2k5.
