Upgrade Strategies for Microsoft SQL Server 2008

Back in June of last year, I talked about Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Upgrade Advisor and how it can help in identifying potential upgrade issues when moving from earlier versions of SQL Server - see Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Upgrade Advisor.

Bottom line, upgrading your database server requires careful planning. If you are still in the process of considering upgrading to SQL Server 2008 and are trying to workout whether to do an In-Place Upgrade versus a Side-by-Side Upgrade, then you will want to read Arshad Ali's article on the subject over at SQL Server Central.

Upgrade Strategies for SQL Server 2008

Arshad outlines why you should upgrade, the different strategies available, how to choose an upgrade method, putting a risk mitigation plan in place for your upgrade, the sequence of events, and much, much more, including how to read the results of the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Upgrade Advisor tool. Go and take a look.

Until next post!
