Moving a database from Sort order 44 to Sort order 52

Can anyone point me in the right direction on the best way to take a SQL 6.5
sort order 44 database and move it and the data to a SQL 7.0 sort order 52
database ? The 6.5 to 7.0 part I got down (SQL Upgrade wizard). But this
sort order change has me dizzy...
It's been a while since I did any 6.5 upgrades but if I remember correctly
you can't upgrade between sort orders. You have to BCP out all the data,
recreate the schema with the correct sort order on 7.0 and then BCP it back
in. Why upgrade to 7.0 anyway? Why not 2000?

|||Hi,
Upgrade wizard can not be used if the sort order id is different. The easy
way is :-
1. From SQL 6.5 Enterprise manager -- Object Menu -- Generate SQL Script.
2. Generate the script for all objects
3. COpy the Script to destination SQL 7 server
4. Create a new database in SQL 7 and execute the script. Ensure no error
occured
5. Use the DTS utility or BCP OUT/ IN to load the data into SQL 7
If you have huge volume of data it is recommended to go for BCP OUT, copy
the files to local SQl 7 server
and BCP IN.
Thanks

Isn't there a problem upgrading from SQL 6.5 directly to SQL 2K ?
Thanks to all for the help.

There is no issue going from SQL6.5 to SQL2k. In fact, it is much
preferred over SQL7. Ensure that you apply SQL2k SP3a after the upgrade.
It will be worthwhile to do some reading before you perform this work.

|||According to one of the links Mark listed it seems you might be able to
upgrade to a different sort order after all. As always I would try it first
and make sure you have proper and tested backups before starting.
