SQL Server Migration Made Easier
Ensuring that your current applications will run properly on a future product version can be a daunting task. Scalability Experts has made your life a little easier with their FREE upgrade assessment tool. The SQL Server Upgrade Assistant will help you determine how a SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 2005 application will function on SQL Server 2008.
This tool was used to accelerate upgrades to SQL Server 2005 as part of the application compatibility labs used by partners who participated in the Microsoft Touchdown program.
Anyway, we thought it was a tool worth noting!

The tool has been updated for SQL Server 20008 and we are actively testing this it right now with various Microsoft ISV partners. If you're interested in the 2000 - 2005 version, check out http://www.scalabilityexperts.com/default.asp?action=article&ID=43Anonymous

We've actually just posted information on the new tool with a corresponding 1/2 hour podcast talking about upgrade tools in general. This can all be found on the SQL Server 2008 Application Compatibility Blog. http://blog.scalabilityexperts.com/2007/12/19/upgrading-to-sql-server-2008-the-next-version-of-sql-server-upgrade-assistant/ Kevin, perhaps we can get you to post a brief update to this entry and reference our blog?
