Migration tool and SQL server 2008
I usually have one 2005 and one 2008 sql server instance locally on my development machine for migration. For 2000 and 2005 databases I use the 2005 instance - when the migration is complete I then, depending on what the customer wishes to use for production, keep the 2005 or upgrade to 2008 sql server.

Is there any problem to run the latest migration tool towards an SQL server 2008 instead of SQL Server 2005.
Problem I have seen:

The lastest tecnote (http://world.episerver.com/en/Documentation/Items/Tech-Notes/EPiServer-CMS-5/EPiServer-CMS-5-R2/EPiServer-CMS-Migration-Tool-11/) says:
If your EPiServer CMS is configured with a Microsoft SQL 2000 database, update to Microsoft SQL 2005 first, before using the migration tool.
Does this mean that I first need to update to sql 2005 before migration and then, after, upgrate to SQL server 2008?
