Hi there

We found interesting issue which is basically the app is being tested ok on SQL2005 by software vendor. Then we tested in our environment and we found it's not truly true. There are some compatibility issue on SQL syntax. Anyway ... the plan set the compatibility level back to 80 instead 90. Cause this thing for sure is working.

Now my question is do you know any other impacts that you know of if we are doing this setting (running SQLServer 2005 but the database set as 80)? I know that some inbuilt reporting only run 90 level but I can get around this. Performance or something? Is there any thing that I should to know?

Thanks

If you are using any 2005 related syntax obviously it will not work in 80 mode. The engine for 2005 is totally different from 2000. By setting it the mode to 80, the query plans may not be efficient.
