Answer 1

• Use the scripting wizard in SQL Server 2008 to script data as well as schemas into SQL Server 2005 compatibility mode.
• Run "Generate SQL Server Scripts" wizard in SQL Server Management Studio (once Object Explorer is connected to the appropriate instance) by right clicking on database and selecting "Tasks –> Generate Scripts."
• Click "Script all objects in selected database" & then click "Next."
• Change script options: Specifically, set "Script for Server Version" to "SQL Server 2005" and set "Script Data" to "True". (SQL Server 2000 is also supported.) If you are putting the database on a new instance for the first time, make sure the "Script Database Create" option is set to "True." Click "Next" when you are happy with options.
• Finish the wizard.
