Hi:

I installed a copy of SQL Server Management Studio - Developer on my laptop and imported a database that I had developed as a 2005 Db. I believe that I updated the db to the 2008 variety and now am in the situation that I need a 2005 version of my database. I have created all sorts of new tables and stored procedures.

Is there a way that I can roll back my db to a 2005 flavour so that I can combine it with the older version of the production database that is the 2005 variety?

Any help appreciated.

Roger

No. You need to import/export your objects back to the 2005 server. Once you change your database compatibility mode to 100, you cannot restore the backup to a downlevel server.
