SQL Server Best Practises Analyzer can help you quite a bit with this,
although it isn't specific for 6.5 to 2000 conversions:

> Are there any tools for locating potentially problematic (Syntactic or
sematic) SQL code (in stored procs, triggers, SQL statements in apps, views,
...)?   Note that this tool would for the SQL code, not the Server upgrade,
ie not the upgrade wizard, which I believe upgrades only the server
infrastructure.  For example, in 6.5 a zero length string is reported as
NULL.  I'm looking for a tool that would simply highlight obvious
(Syntactic) and subtle(semantic) differences for review, similar to what
"Lint" does for C based languages.
