I have a production database in SQL 2000 and a SQL 2005 instance will be installed in a new server. I would like to have an updated copy of one SQL 2000 database in my SQL 2005 at anytime.
What is the best way to implement database sync between this two SQL versions?
You can create an SSIS package to do this and schedule it as a job.
Or if this is development machine that you want to keep you can do all the development on the 2005 database in scripts kept in source control (which is of course what you should be doing), then you take the most recent backup, restore it to the database and run any change scripts you need.
Or use Red_gate’s SQL data compare. It costs money but its worth it.
