Remarks
There are some limitations when transferring a database to a server instance that is running SQL Server 2000:
If the database has a schema for which there is no corresponding user on the target SQL Server 2000 server instance, it cannot be transferred. In this case, you have to create a user who has a name that is the same as the name of the schema.
Any object that uses the following data types cannot be transferred:
SqlDataType.Xml
SqlDataType.VarCharMax
SqlDataType.NVarCharMax
SqlDataType.VarBinaryMax
The following object types cannot be transferred:
All broker objects
All mail objects
Endpoint
ServerDdlTrigger
ExtendedStoredProcedure
FullTextCatalog
UserDefinedMessage
ApplicationRole
To get and set Transfer object properties, users can be a member of the public fixed server role.
To transfer data, users can be a member of the public fixed server role.
