Database Move

I'm needing to move a database from SQL 7 to SQL 2000. What is the
best way to accomplish this and keep all tables, data, permissions, etc
in place throughout the move.

Should I use BCP, Replication or something else?

Thanks for any help.

It depends a little. If the server collation is the same on the two
servers, you can use backup/restore or sp_detach_db/sp_attach_db. The
database will automatically be upgraded to SQL 2000 format (and can
thus not be moved back.) To see if the collations are the same run
sp_helpsort.

If the collations are different, you can still use backup/restore or
detach/attach, since, in difference to SQL7 on SQL 2000 you can mix
collations on the same server. Howver, code that uses temp table and
joins them with permanent tables, will not work if the database collation
is different from the server collation.

I'm hoping I might be able to pick someone's brain out there. Our company is currently running an inhouse application in which data is being stored in SQL. Included in this data are thousands (over 100,000) of .jpg images. I am starting to run out of disk space and a developer suggested that we take the images out of SQL and put them in a file. In doing they indicated we could recover the SQL database faster if needed, we could also...

I'm trying to use ADO to restore a SQL 7 database using a backup file. The database already exists on the target computer, and is named the same as on the source computer, and the MDF and LDF files are named the same as well. I am running the below in a stored procedure: RESTORE DATABASE DB1 FROM DISK = 'c:\mssql7\backup\DB1.bak' WITH MOVE 'DB1' TO 'c:\mssql7\data\DB1.mdf', MOVE 'DB1_log' TO 'c:\mssql7\data\DB1_log.ldf'
