Restore to SQL 2005 from SQL 2008

You cant restore a database backwards from SQL Server 2008 to a SQL 2005 Instance.

One trick you can use is to script the entire database, and ensure you select in the advanced options as shown below, SQL 2005.

Then run the script at the destination SQL 2005 instance.

Remember to change the database file paths in the output SQL script as needed.

SSIS 2008 R2 to SSIS 2014

Notes:

After performing an in-place upgrade on a SQL 2008 R2 server to SQL 2014, l had access issue to SSIS 2014.

I also noticed [rom SSCM SQL Server Configuration Mananger] that SSIS 2008 R2 ie SSIS version 10.0 was still running, using the NT Autohoritynetworkservice account while SSIS 2014 ie version 12.0 was also running – but using the nt servicemsdtsserver120 local account.

From a remote SSMS 2008 R2 window, l could access the target SSIS instance and it shows up with version 10.50.4000 [the number for SSIS 2008 R2]

From the local upgraded server’s SSMS 2014 , connecting to the target SSIS 2014 shows a connection with version number 12.0.2000

Steps taken to resolve the initial access issue.
