Hi All,
After going to all post related upgrade, I'm bit confused and my DBA knowledge is very low.
Currently we have SQL server 2005 (SP4) Enterprise edition and we need to upgrade it into SQL server 2008 R2 Enterprise edition.
My Understanding -Steps to be followed ---
1)First run the Upgrade Advisor Wizard to check the compatibility .
2)Run the Upgrade wizard and place Cd so it will upgrade to SQL server 2008 R2 .(Our current OS is compatible with SQL server 2008 R2)
I'm bit confused about Side by side installation , I seen lots of people talking about this .
Please let me know whether I'm going in the right path .Appreciate your help.
Cheers,
Sandy
