This tool analyzes your SQL 2000 applications for potential upgrade issues when
migrating to SQL Server 2005. This new version is based on the June CTP and contains
additional rules, support for scanning batch files, command line support and usability
improvements.
The Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Advisor is a tool used by Database developers
and administrators to analyze SQL Server 7.0 and SQL Server 2000 database servers
in preparation for upgrading to SQL Server 2005. The Upgrade Advisor will allow users
to analyze the configuration of their existing database services and database applications.
As a result of this analysis, Upgrade Advisor will provide reports that identify deprecated
features and necessary configuration changes that will impact their Database upgrade
process. Upgrade Advisor will also provide links to documentation that describe these
changes and necessary steps to complete the process.
