I have a database created on SQL Server 2008 R2 hosted on Server A. For some weird reasons, I might have to access this database from SQL Server 2005 installation on a different server.
The question is, would this be possible, can I access a 2008 R2 created database on SQL Server 2005? If yes, would there be any problems or issues that I should be expecting while doing so?
I’m a newbie to this whole SQL Server and .Net world, I might not have provided all the information that’s needed here for you guys to provide an answer, so I apologize before hand. Please help me out.
You can use Cumulative update package 5 for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 to connect to 2008.
