Sounds like you are victim to a mirage. That does simply just not happen.
You may be mistaken about the source database. Or you are looking into
the wrong database on the target server.

YES I am!! I was indeed looking into a different database.
One quick follow up question, is there any tool that I can use to make
sure that the restored database is "completely " identicial? say,
premission, or data.

Thanks!!

I guess Red Gate's SQL Compare could do the job. But I have not used
it myself, so I don't know how far it goes.

I use SQL Compare frequently. It is awesome. I do not know, however, if
you can compare SQL7 to SQL2000. That seems reasonable enough ;).

Hi Sarah Lin,

I would bet dollars to donuts that your data is identical. Permissions could
be complicated since they are stored by and id number not by name
(permissions to dchristo on Server1 are not going to translate to dchristo
on Server2).

I would be most concerned that the stored procedures and SQL Code used to
access your database continue to work as advertised. Particularly if any
column or table names in the SQL 7 database are now reserved words in SQL
2000. (I seem to recall having trouble with a column called "Level")

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
