O.k.  got a major problem.  I have a *.bak file of my database.  I changed servers..  Now I find that my new server is running mssql 2000  and it will not recognize the 2005 mssql database backup file. 

So..??????  Any idea's on how I can convert my 2005.bak file to a 2000.bak file...  Sounds impossible...

Will I have to totally start over again?  I sure hope not...

Can anyone at all help me,  or do this for me... or tell me I am in for a lot of work !!!

 

Thanks

Hi Msidfry,

You won't be able to use your .BAK file directly on the 2000 server.  The best you'll likely be able to do is to use the Import/Export wizard functionality to move your table data over.  If you have a direct connection between the two machines, then this process becomes much easier.

I do not believe you can use the Import/Export wizard to move over your programmable objects (SP, Userfunctions, etc).  You'll likely have to manually rescript these.

Sorry for the bad news, but hope this helps nonetheless!

These folks have a backup tool which will script the entire database to SQL create and insert statements - including content - and this has been used to move from SQL 2005 to SQL 2000.

http://www.evotiva.com/

THe backupscript module, not backup native ...

I've not used it myself, but have eyed this product for some time. This might save you a lot of pain. You will have to go from a live MS SQL 2005 database, not a .bak file, I"m quite certain. So - you'd need to recreate an instance of your DNN site that is live on SQL 2005, install the module, and then use the output to create the SQL 2000 database.

 pmgerholdt AT hotmail.com - if you do not have a convenient way to get this up on an SQL 2005 instance, I might be able to help you get through this.

1. Restore your .bak file back to SQL2005.
2. Right-click the database and click "Properties"
3. Click "Options > Compatability Level"
4. Set Compatability Level > SQL Server 2000 (80).
5. Backup your database.
6. Restore to your SQL2000 box.

My guess is that "Compatability Level" is "SQL Server 2005 (90).  If I am correct by doing Step #4 you should be able to solve your problem.  I have not gone back to SQL 2000 compatability so we'll both learn something.

Good luck.

Mike:

This is an excellent idea! 

Msidfry:

As Mike seemed to indicate that he has not actually tried this in the field, please let us know if it rectifies your issue!
