I have restored a backup copy of my SQL db for testing purposes.  I find testing in an enviornment that replicates my production enviornment to be a lot more productive and useful.  The tool is appreciated graper.
 
I'll wait for -borgs- tool before upgrading my production db.

Please Note:-

This is not an official upgrade tool!!

Beta versions are for testing purposes ONLY as they are incomplete and are not stable.

An official upgrade tool will be available for the final release, if you choose to upgrade now you will be relaying on a 3rd party to make a tool for upgrading between beta versions.

There will be no official upgrade available between beta versions as they should NOT be used on live production servers.

First,Forgive for my bad English

I wrote a ASP script (CNWWF_796TO80_MSSQLupdate.asp) for upgrading MS SQL database from version 7.x to version 8 beta1. I have tested with MS SQL 2000 Server.

You can download the script from here

Update procedure:
1. Make sure you have a backup copy of your old database before proceeding.
3. Open forum8\includes\database_configuration.asp and edit the file.
4. Put CNWWF_796TO80_MSSQLupdate.asp file in the root of your forum folder (forum8\CNWWF_796TO80_MSSQLupdate.asp).
5. Run forum8\CNWWF_796TO80_MSSQLupdate.asp , the script will change the structure of the db and insert some required data.
6. After the script finishes, you will have a working v8 forum.
7. Probably you won't be able to see the forum titles on the main page especially as a guest. This is because the permissions system is changed.
You will need to examine and set group permissions on the forum administration area manually.

I have upgraded my v7.96 database successfully, hope it works for you too.
