I need to move from a virtual hosting place to a new hosting provider BUT the db servers are MS SQL 2005 and not MS SQL 2008 R2 as they have been up to now? Suggestions?


I need to downgrade my MS SQL 2008 db to a MS SQL 2005. Is this doable or should I stop the migration?

Thanks but I have tested that solution and it gives you new values of your identity keys inside your db. That way your db will break :(

Does anyone know how to get around that one? I can imagine a way of exporting and importing tables with tha table definitions of identities taken away while importing and right after import is successful your reapply these identity settings again .... the only thing is that there is so many tables to do this on so it will take you hours to get done ......

you should be able to use identity insert, this way ID values will be kept.
I suggest using SSMS Toolpack for export and import data

I have used Evotiva's DNN Backup module to do this. It requires almost no thinking, and it works!
