Session Details - SQL Server 2000 -> 2005 - Upgrade Specifics

Didn't anyone tell you?!? Mainstream Support for SQL Server 2000 ends on the 8th of April 2008! So upgrading to SQL Server 2005 is the right move in most cases (unless 2008 is an easier option for you) but it doesn't come without its share of concerns. This session focuses on the upgrade of SQL Server databases from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005, the general approach and traps that may be easily overlooked. We'll even look at the upgrade path to SQL Server 2008 from SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005.
