Is it necessary to upgrade SQL Server version 7 to 2000?
Real question is that 'What's new in version 2000 from
version 7?'
Q. Is it necessary to upgrade SQL Server version 7 to 2000?
A. No, you can install a separate "named instance" on the same server as you
have SQL Server 7.0 installed.
Q. Real question is that 'What's new in version 2000 from version 7?'
A. If you're interested in just what is new in SQL Server 2000 Full-text
Search (as this is the topic of this newsgroup), then the answer is "Change
Tracking" with "Update Index in Background" as well as the ability to FT
Index and FT Search MS Office file type (doc, xls, etc. plus html) stored in
Image datatype columns. If you have SQL Server 2000 installed, you should
review the BOL under Contents and "What's New" as there are many
improvements in SQL Server 2000 over SQL Server 2000.
