NOTE: We strongly
recommend migrating from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005
or 2008. As Microsoft continues to move forward with SQL server
technology, SQL 2000 will fall further behind the standard. It is no
longer actively developed or updated, as it has been superseded by SQL
2005 and 2008. While we will continue to maintain our existing SQL 2000
servers, our
recommendation is to upgrade your SQL service to a more recent version
at your earliest possible convenience.
If you decide to migrate your SQL database we have a forum post on the steps needed to complete this process.
How to transfer your current SQL Server database to the DiscountASP.NET SQL Server.

- Note: You can also use Windows Authentication if the SQL server is a local server.
- In the "Server" field, type in the hostname of the DiscountASP.NET SQL Server (this is listed in your hosting control panel), choose "Use SQL Server Authentication," type in your DiscountASP.NET database username and password (this was sent in your database order confirmation email), choose your database from the "Database" field, click "Next"
- Choose "Copy objects...," click "Next"
- Uncheck Use Default Option
- Click Options, uncheck "Copy Database users and database roles," "Copy SQL Server logins," "Copy object-level Permissions"
