My current Database Server is SQL Server 2008 R2 and the database compatibility level is 80. I wanted to check the issues with my database if it will be upgraded to compatibility level 100.
I found this link (connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/715400/upgrade-advisor-should-check-database-db-compat-level-not-server-version) from Microsoft Connect which states that the SQL Server 2008 R2 Upgrade Advisor checks for Server Version
(already 2008 R2 in this case) rather than db_compat level (80 in this case). If SQL Server 2008 R2 Upgrade Advisor checks for Server Version, it will not report any issue as server is already 2008 R2 and it will not find anything to report.
Do I need to install SQL Server 2000 and copy my database to that server with compatibility level 80 in order to enable SQL Server 2008 R2 Upgrade Advisor to do the analysis correctly?
