Compatibility Level:
It's used to govern the new features of sql server. It instructs the database
to react accordinly. Consider am having a SQL Server 2000 database which is
restored in SSMS(SQL Server Management Studio).
Right click the database properties and check the compatibility level in
options tab, a drop down lists out different compatibility levels like,
70 = SQL Server 7.0
80 = SQL Server 2000
90 = SQL Server 2005
We can select among the options like, if we want legacy support for some
queries or stored procedures we have to opt either Compatiblity level = 80 or
70.
Below is the query to retrieve the Compatibility Level of databases in a
server,
SELECT name, cmptlevel FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases
It output resembles like,
-----------------------
Name Cmptlevel
-----------------------
Master 90
MSDB 90
TempDB 90
Venkat 80
Model 90
------------------------
T-SQL Query to update the Compatibility level,
EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel AdventureWorks, 80;
