SQL to sql express

I have a site that is using SQL 2005 DB. How can I migate over to a sql 2005 express db? THe sql 2005 is overkill and limited to 200Megs by my host while I can go to 4 gigs on the sql express db.

Re: SQL to sql express

you should be able to disconnect database in SQL Server 2000 and - using SQL Server Management Studio Express - connect it to SQL Server 2005

Re: SQL to sql express

Not sure I understand what you are saying. I dont have SQL 2000. I am trying to go from SQL 2005 to SQL 2005 Express. I do have SQL express management studio though. How do I connect them and also how do I copy everything over? Please be detailed. I dont want to screw this up.

Re: SQL to sql express

Not working. I get an error saying I can not detach. I assume this is a permissions issue with my host. Is there a way to backup/ restore and do it?
