I have tried to restore a database in SQL Server 2005 enterprise edition on Windows

  • 0

I have tried to restore a database in SQL Server 2005 enterprise edition on Windows Server 2003. It shows the following error.

    Restored failed for Server 'MYS'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)
    Additional information:
    System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The database was backed up on a server running version
 9.00.4053. That version is incompatible with this server, which is running version 
9.00.1187. Either restore the database on a server that supports the backup, or use a 
backup that is compatible with this server.  (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)

What should I do?

    Install SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 on your copy of SQL server, and it will be able to restore the file without a problem. The database server which backed up the database originally was running SP3, and you must have at least that version if you want to restore the DB.
