How to fix corrupt database?

Hello,

I am trying to run the example program: Coding4Fun: Building a Family History Web Service at this URL

http://msdn.microsoft.com/coding4fun/xmlforfun/familyhistory/default.aspx

The project has an SQL Express database Family.mdf. When I try and open Family.mdf in VS 2005, I get this error:

'FAMILY.MDF' cannot be upgraded because its non-release version (587) is not supported by this version of SQL Server. You cannot open a database that is incompatible with this version of sqlservr.exe. You must re-create the database.

I can create a new database, but then the stored procedures will be lost.

Any suggestions how to repair the database?

Thanks

That database was based on a beta build. Beta build were not supposed to be supported after the RTM version is launched. í dont′think that there is a upgrade path for this internal version to the RTM version. If you still have a beta SQL Server 2005 (Yukon) you can try to attach the db to that one and script the structure out.

Hello Jens,

Thanks for taking time to reply to this question. I dont have a beta version of SQL 2005, so I guess I will have to just create a new database.

Thank you,

Tom
