Learn about the tools best suited for preparing and implementing the upgrade to SQL Server 2008, find out why and when to use each of the upgrade tools, and determine whether an in-place upgrade or a side-by-side upgrade strategy is better for your situation. We discuss the factors that help you decide how much pre-upgrade testing to plan for based on the level of effort versus the level of risk, and we help you become familiar with the upgrade tools and methodologies so you can tailor your SQL Server upgrades appropriately.
