If I have a SQL Server 2005 database on one server with SQL Server 2005 installed and I want to move this database to another server with SQL Server 2012 installed and upgrade this database to 2012 what is the best way to do this?
Is there a check list? Besides running the Upgrade Advisor is there anything else that I could be doing?
I cannot just do a back up and restore on the new server and change the compatibility? That would be too easy.
