Re: Copy SQL Server 2005 Express database to SQL Server 2000

I think the easiest solution is to go to Properties|Options for the
database and change the compatibility level to (80) Sql Server 2000 then
backup the database and restore it to the new 2000 server.

No, this does not work. The compatitibility level only affects how T-SQL
code is parsed and behaves. It has nothing to do with the on-disk structure
for the database.
