Enterprise to Standard Edition

  • I have detached some databases from the Enterprise version of SQL Server 2000 SP3

    and have attached them to Standard version of SQL Server 2000 SP3

    Should I expect any problems?

    TIA

  • You should expect smooth sailing.

  • Only the features that are supported by Standard Edition will be functioning though.

    For example, if you created an Indexed View in the database while it was on Enterprise Edt, the view will still operated under Standard Edition, but the index will not be used.

    Overall your database should work identically as before, but with enterprise only features effectively "off".

  • Actually, indexed views can still be used in Std Ed with the NOEXPAND hint. But they will not be automagically used by the optimizer otherwise, as they would on Ent Ed.

  • I would check @@version just to be sure that no post SP3 patches have been applied.  That could cause some issues.
