Hi All
I know that if SQL 6.5 was on a server and you then install SQL 2000 on it
you get the wizard option to upgrade an SQL 6.5 DB to 2000, but I don't have
the luxury of this.
I have an SQL 6.5 DB, which I want to convert, but only SQL 2000 on my
server.
Do you know what options I have available to me to perform this upgrade with
what I have? Are there any free external tools that can do this conversion
for me other than the switch wizard?
Thanks

Hi
The Microsoft Upgrade Wizard is your only way of doing it.

There is exactly one tool in this world that can read a 6.5 database,
and that's SQL Server 6.5.
If you have access to MSDN Subscriber Downloads, SQL 6.5 is available
there.

I recall upgrading a database from SQL Server 7 to 2000. All I did was
to copy the database file and attach it. I don't know whether the same
process would convert a version 6.5 file.
Make a copy of the database file(s) and try it.

No, that won't fly. As I said, there is only one application in this whole
wide world that knows how to read a 6.5 database, and that SQL 6.5.
6.5 had a completely different architecture from the current. In 6.5 there
were no database files. Instead you had device files. A device could
have portions from many databases, and a database could be on more than one
device. Log and data could be on different devices (which was recommended
for production databases), but could be on the same device (which was
fair enough for a development database). The whole device thing was overly
complex for NTFS, and was mainly designed for raw devices on Unix.

Hi,
I am trying to use the Upgrade Wizard in SQL 2000 to upgrade a SQL 6.5 db to
2000. I am only choosing to update a single database, not system objects.
The Upgrade wizard connects to SQL 6.5, checks the db, creates the db on SQL
2000 with all tables and imports users from SQL 6.5. The problem comes when
it tries to bring over the actual data. I get an error:
"Couldn't connection to the export machine!" in the out log file.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
