Could someone help me regarding transferring a database to a different PC, also is it possible to transfer a 7.0 database to a 6.5 server?

Thanks

There are two ways:

1. Use sp_detach_db and sp_attach_db(Transfers the entire db)

2. Connect to the new PC,by registering the IP address.
   To register, open SQL EnterpriseManager, Right Click on
   SQL ServerGroup and go in for New SQLServerRegistration. Give the IP address of the new PC and register it. Then take a back up of the existing db in yr PC and force restore file on the newly created db.This will help you restore a db to the new PC.

please do let me know if it works.

The two servers are not connected therefore I cannot use the second option.

Could you please expand on how to use sp_detach, sp_attach

Thanks
