Hi Arun,

This is not about upgrading the Repositary. this is about upgrading SQL 2000 to 2005.

we are upgrading our warehouse from SQL Server 2000 to 2005, i would like to know what is the best practice to convert existing connections from SQL Server 2000 to 2005. and also when i create new connection in File/ Parameters my Designer should show me SQL server 2005 as a dataprovider which i am not able to now.
