    1. Hope this Information helps:

    Mainstream support for SQL Server 2000 ended on 04/08/2008. Visual
    Studio 2010 only supports SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008/2008 R2.
    In order to continue working with SQL Server 2000, you may use any of
    the earlier releases of Visual Studio.

    The ODBC connection is still enabled as ODBC is version independent.
    You will find many features disabled for ODBC connections.

    Microsoft states that some functionalities like Take and Skip have certain limitations when they are used in queries against SQL Server 2000, which means it works but with limitations.
