Hi:
I have Microsoft SQL 2005 Standard in my PC, I use CF 7.0/MS SQL 2005 to make my application. I bought a 2 year hosting from Webserve.ca (NT PRO package). Webserve.ca has MS SQL 2000. My problem is: If I design it in ms sql 2005 then export it as a single file then import it in ms sql 2000 (in my webserve hosting) will I have any problem? I mean I am worried about incompatibilities and something like that. I have a short time for makeing that so I have no time for making it again and if you tell me it will have some problems I will have to buy/use a MS SQL 2000. So please help me and tell me what should I do.
Thanks
Benign

    The only items that aren't backward compatible are T-SQL commands specific to new functions in 2K5; SSIS orchestrations; any CLR stuff you may have written (and God Bless You if you already have). Information schema commands are by and large unchanged so you should be able to create a COPY DATABASE job between the instances without a problem.
