SP2010 How to Determine if SharePoint Content Database is in support mode

Question

I have a legacy content database of SharePoint 2007 which I need to upgrade to SharePoint 2010 (and then SP2013) and I feel it is not in support mode. SP Admins pull information out using Select statements in Stage and I feel they might have put the database in unsupported mode.

Is there a way I can determine if the content db that I am trying to migrate has already been in unsupported mode?

Answer 1

There is no "support mode" in the database, it is just that Microsoft will not give you support if you have a database that has been altered manually.

Essentially you are on your own if migration does or does not work...
