I have a set of databases with several hundred SPs. They were originally on SQL 2000 and are now running on SQL 2008 R2, with compatibility mode 80.
Since going to 2012 is only a matter of time and 80 is no longer supported, I need to start working on changing whatever. I have read the various lists of deprecated features and necessary changes, and the main one that affects me is the requirement of using WITH with hints.
I know that the compatibility adviser gives you a list of probably problems, that that only runs based on the DB engine, not compatibility mode. That is, if I run the 2008R2->2012 adviser, it only looks for changes between those two versions and seems to ignore the fact that the database is running in an older compatibility.
So.. any solutions out there to help me isolate those changes? Or, better yet, rewrite the SPs?
Thanks!
