Does anyone have a step by step instructional tutorial for new people that explains how to upgrade your database from MSDE to SQL 2000?

I have a database that someone installed on my web server and its running the MSDE, but I want to install SQL 2000 (the real one not the msde one).

Can someone please explain the step by step process for upgrading a database from MSDE to SQL 2000?

Thanks in advance!

Guess the obvious way would be to back up all the databases, uninstall msde, install sql server then restore.

Bit surprised if it doesn't give an option to upgrade though.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

I've just detached databases from one flavor server and reattached to the other server. I've done this both from SQL 7 to MSDE 1.0 and from MSDE 1.0 to SQL 7. I assume SQL2000/MSDE2000 works the same way.

MSDE is SQL Server, but its the engine only, without most of the client/administrative tools, and is less powerful than some versions of SQL Server. (like Enterprise), so a database can be detached from MSDE to SQL Server,and vice versa, as long as the server versions are the same.
