"Unable to upgrade database... because SQL Server of this version does not support non-release version of this database (539)" solution, sql539

"Unable to upgrade database... because SQL Server of this version does not support non-release version of this database (539)" solution, sql539

When you use SQL2012 to append a database, the following error is reported: "You cannot upgrade the database... because SQL Server of this version does not support non-release version (539) of the database ). You cannot open a database that is not compatible with this version of sqlserver.exe. The database must be created again ."

The details are as follows:

After retrieval, we found that 539 was the internal version number of the SQL Server 2000 database, that is, the database file to be appended was created by SQL Server, however, we know that the SQL Server 2012 database is incompatible with the SQL Server 2000 database. As shown in:

The database to be attached was created in SQL Server 2000, so the above error occurs. In this case, a specific solution is available: SQL Server 2000 database> (first appended to) SQL Server 2005/2008 (which can be completed on another machine or the virtual machine can be installed on the local machine, install SQL Server 2005/2008 on the VM)-> then detach the database, copy it to the target folder, and then attach it to SQL Server 2012.

The following lists the internal version numbers of all Microsoft SQL Server databases before SQL Server2012: (the internal version number of SQL Server2012 is 706)

 

Target SQL Server Version	Source SQL Server Version	Internal Database Version
SQL Server 2008 R2	SQL Server 2008 R2	665
	SQL Server 2008	661
	Sqlserver 2005 with vardecimal enabled	612
	SQL Server 2005	611
	SQL Server 2000	539
SQL Server 2008	SQL Server 2008	661
	Sqlserver 2005 with vardecimal enabled	612
	SQL Server 2005	611
	SQL Server 2000	539
SQL Server 2005 SP2 +	Sqlserver 2005 with vardecimal enabled	612
	SQL Server 2005	611
	SQL Server 2000	539
	SQL Server 7	515
SQL Server 2005	SQL Server 2005	611
	SQL Server 2000	539
	SQL Server 7	515
SQL Server 2000	SQL Server 2000	539
	SQL Server 7	515
SQL Server 7	SQL Server 7	515

Through the above table, we can quickly understand the error prompt. If you want to view the SQL Server internal version number, you can also view it using the following SQL statement:

SELECT DATABASEPROPERTYEX('MASTER','VERSION')
