2005 DB backwards-compatible to 2000?

I've attached an SQL2000 db to an SQL2005 Std installation and am curious if
that process can go the other way. Can you detach from 2005 and attach to
2000 without any issues?Earl wrote:

No. One cannot attach a higher version database to a lower version SQL
Server. The 2005 file format is incompatible with SQL Server 2000.
If you have to migrate backwards, use SSIS to copy the objects and data from
SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2000.

Thanks
