Hi,We will be migrating from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008 R2 (different physical server), and I'm wondering if I have to migrate the databases via Restore or if I can detach from SQL 2005 copy the Database files to the new server and later Attach the files to the SQL Server 2008 R2 server. The reason I want to do this is because we are planning to install the SQL instance on the new server with the same name of the current instance.So the plan is: 1- Detach the database on current instance SQL Server 2005, 2- copy the files to the new Server3- Remove the current server from the DNS entry 4- Install the SQL with the same original name on the new server.5- Attach Databases on the newly installed SQL Server 2008 R26- Update DB compatibility level to 100Thanks for any contribution to this matter.
