Dennis writes "Situation:
Currently we created the first version (1.0) of our application which uses MSSQL 2000 SP4. The database contains about 80 tables, 60 functions, 20 SP's, 10 defaults, full-text-search.
Now we start to work on version 2.0. This will include changes to tables, sp's, etc.

Questions:
A: When we are finished with version 2.0 with it's database modifications, how can we upgrade a 1.0 database version to 2.0 without lossing 1.0 data?
B: Is it possible to generate a difference-script/upgrade-script?
C: Or will SQL 2005 have better options to do this?

Because doing this. Step:
1. Backup 1.0 database
2. Install 2.0 database
3. Restore 1.0 data on 2.0 version database
Will cause matching problems.

Thank you for your effort,
Dennis"
