Migrate Sharepoint To Sql Server 2005 - Intel SMALL BUSINESS SERVER Manual

Migrate SharePoint to SQL Server 2005

NOTE: Migrating SharePoint's MSDE database to SQL 2005 allows the business to take advantage of SQL
Server 2005's better performance and scalability. SQL Server 2005 won't upgrade directly the existing
MSDE database of SharePoint 2.0. You have to remove the current MSDE of SharePoint and create a new
instance during install SQL Server, and then attach the current SharePoint database to SQL Server 2005.
