I have read all the documentation on the side-by-side upgrade of 9.5. , they should just call it a new install with some extra steps. I’m currently at 9.0 SP3 with SQL 2005, running on a WIN2003 SVR. The only thing I do not understand; how am I getting to SQL 2008 on the new hardware, without losing the SQL2005 database I have. Do I have to upgrade to SQL 2008 on the existing server before I even start with the new server?
OR
Am I going to just be starting over with a new database. I have read “Best Known Method for performing a new installation of Management Suite 9.5” it really leave out some information on a side-by-side, if you are running SQL 2005.
The new server should be here in a few week and I’m trying to get all the duck in a row. I cannot believe there is no query export for all at one time.
Have read many post and now it’s time to ask the question above, so we can have a good laugh and have all laugh.
