Still there is plenty of life left on SQL 2000, but once Katmai comes to the terms it will be hard to see the stance like SQL 6.5 days currently. Satya SKJ

I dont it is practical to stop SQL Server 2000 support yet. Many are still using SQL Server 2000. So microsoft will countinue to support SQL Server 2000 for another 2-3 years. —————————————-

Agree on the terms of usage, but once next version RTM comes you would see the behaviour similar to 6.5 at present [<img src=’/community/emoticons/emotion-6.gif’ alt=’

We or anyone cannot give you the compelling reasons to upgrade from 2k to 2k5, if the application can cope up the load until next 5 years then you can leave it in SQL 2k. Or if you want to take full advantages to new features in SQL 2k5 then you have to test it for further information.
