I have a need to move a SharePoint Content database from an instance od SQL Server express 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2005 (SP 4).
The SQL 2005 can run SharePoint, but I am having problems with the database (I am a SharePoint person, rather than a SQL Server person) as SQL 2008 databases cannot be attached directly in SQL 2005.
- The process of Detaching and then Attaching does not work due to compatibility issues.
- Using Export / Import, I can get the data into the 2005 instance, but there are lots of Stored procedures to get across.
- Somebody suggested that I change the Copatibility setting in Properties to 90 (SQL 2005), but this did not make a difference
- I tried using Redgate SQL Coompare, but ran into an error on one of the SPs, with the message talking about deadlocks
Can anybody help me?
