| I would like to see how certain databases perform under 2005 while receiving a similar load to what they received under 2000. Can you use profiler or something similar to simulate that load on the new db? Like capturing a trace and then running it against the 2005 db. |

| You could move the db to a SQL Server 2005 instance (leave it in 2000 compatibility) and test .Jack Vamvas--------------------Search IT jobs from multiple sources- http://www.ITjobfeed.com |

| how to test is the main thing, without pointing an app at it that would be similar queries. |

| Simulating never give you real load on the server. Possible to run app in parallel on both sql2k and sql2k5? |
