To migrate databases in SQL6.5, extract DDL from tables and export data to
BCP files, verify code page and sort order from server SQL7; create database
in SQL7,execute DDL and import BCP files to new database in SQL7.0....the
best method to migration databases;;;

Mery,
You can not restore from 6.5 to 7.0. You have to do a
conversion.

Gurus,
I am trying to migrate a database from sql server 6.5 to sql server
7.0. I was trying to export this database, but I was not able to do it
because I encountered a bunch of errors. Now I am trying to restore the
same database to a dev server that has sql server 7.0 installed. I also
encountered the following error:

Server: Msg 3242, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The file on device 'D:\ftp downloads\RMS\riskmaster.dat' is not a valid
Microsoft Tape Format backup set.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally.

I am not using a tape to restore, I have my file on my D drive.

Here's is the syntax that I am using to restore the db.

RESTORE DATABASE RISKMASTER
FROM DISK = 'D:\ftp downloads\RMS\riskmaster.dat'


Is it possible to restore a db from 6.5 to 7.0? Please advise with best
method to performance this migration.

Thanks,
