ALL;

We have a sharepoint 2007 SP1 server farm with a sql 2000 server
cluster as its database.

We would like to upgrade the database on this farm from sql 2000 to
sql 2005.

Are there any white papers that address this particular upgrade
or a site with specific information on the upgrade.

All the reference that I have been able to find via google is too
simplified (even on this groups).

Looking for a very detailed document.

As it's specifically an upgrade of the *SharePoint* dbs from SQL Server
2K to 2005 that's being asked about, I have the feeling that these
purely SQL Server links aren't going to be enough.

As far as I understood the question, upgrade will be performed on the server
with SQL 2000.
If the SQL 2005 is planned to be installed on a new box, databases would
have to be migrated of course.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263299.aspx - Migrate databases

Any kind of SQL upgrade would not affect Sharepoint as far it is able to
connect to the databases fine.
The simpliest way is to take a backup of the SQL databases and then connect
them to the new SQL 2005.
All databases should to be detached and moved off current location prior
to update.
Unfortunately there is no document from microsoft that would described such
scenario in detail.

Anyway the best solution would be to built a small test enviroment and have
it tested before implementing to the production.

Anja

Anja - Correct. The upgrade would be done on the current server/
cluster with SQL2000.
Either in-place or new instance of SQL 2005. Not sure yet which would
be most recommended!

You said - "> Any kind of SQL upgrade would not affect Sharepoint as
far it is able to
connect to the databases fine." Still have to let sharepoint know
that there has been a change - right? When/How?

Mike Walsh - Do you have any links you can recommend?

Thanks for all your help.
Sorry, I was in class this past week!

We are going to set up a test farm to practice the upgrade.
Not sure which approach we will take yet.

I forgot to mention that we have a "SQL cluster" to upgrade vs a
single instance
