I have MSDE installed on a production machine together with a bunch of ASP.NET applications. I was asked to replace MSDE with SQL Server 2000 and move every application from MSDE to SQL Server 2000 with minimum downtime.
Did any of you go through a similar process?
What is the best way of doing this conversion?
How to move the backups from MSDE to SQL Server?
Is it possible to have MSDE and SQL Server 2000 coexists for a time while moving stuff around and redirecting every connection?
Any hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.You could install Sql Server 2000 & use transfer objects (with data) to move the data between the databases.
MSDE is a "lite" version of Sql Server 2000, so you shouldn't need any conversions or transformations.|||Thanks for the answer, I did some research and I found this also, perhaps it will help others as well
