How to migrate databases of different SQL Server versions

Need to move databases from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005 – 2008 or vice versa?
dbForge Schema Comparer for SQL Server can successfully do any of these tasks. This tool generates a script in the same syntax that is used by the Target database. For example, if the Target database is on SQL Server 2000, User-Defined Data Type in the script will be written like EXEC sp_addtype ‘State’, ‘bit’, ‘NOT NULL’, whereas for SQL Server 2005-2008, it could be CREATE TYPE dbo.[State] FROM bit NOT NULL.

Ensuring Quality of dbForge Schema Compare for SQL Server, v 2.0

The most important characteristic of any software is its quality. The quality, according to the model specified in the ISO 9126 standard, consists of the following characteristics:
  • Functionality
  • Reliability
  • Ease of use
  • Efficiency
  • Maintenance
  • Portability
Of course users are not concerned about any quality models and just tell us their suggestions and wishes. It’s these suggestions and wishes that are the most preferred description of any quality characteristic.
Below we give the list of main aspects we paid special attention to when developing dbForge Schema Compare for SQL Server in order to deliver software of the highest quality to our users.
  • Dependencies. One of the key difficulties during object synchronization is caused by dependencies between objects and inside them. These dependencies are built basing on the information received from the server, but frequently there is not enough of it. To simplify the situation, we’ve implemented and tested a parser that looks for missing dependencies. Owing to the parser, all existing dependencies between database objects are found.
