Hi all,

I have a databse in SQL2008. I tried to export script in Management Studio. Then I want to open it and run in SQL2005. However, the text file is too large and cannot be open.

Is any other way to copy / convert database of SQL2008 to SQL2005.

Thanks

Try running the script through sqlcmd instead of SSMS.
