SQL Server 2005: Importing data from SQL Server 2000

Question

In SQL Server 2000, you have the "All Tasks... - Export Data" option. Where is this option the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio?

Or, is there a SQL Server 2005 way of doing this?

EDIT: I am using the Express edition.

EDIT: Joel's response answers my question but Mike's answer gives a great alternative to those of us using the Express edition (vote him up!!).

Answer 1

If you're using the express edition of management studio the Import and Export features aren't available.

Answer 2

You could use the excellent SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard.

It allows you to generate a script which contains data, schema, or both. The script can be targeted towards SQL 2000 or SQL 2005.

Some use it for web hosting environments. I use it to move data when I have no other option.

Answer 3

DTS has been replaced by SSIS on the business intelligence end of things.

Answer 4

Probably easiest to just do a backup in SQL 2000 and then import the backup into SQL 2005 using the restore. Those options are available in the Express Edition.

Answer 5

There is always the BCP option.
