Remarks
When upgrading existing systems with existing applications, use database compatibility level settings to retain earlier behaviors if existing applications depend on those behaviors. Many applications, however, are not affected by such changes in behavior and work at the compatibility level of Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000.
ListCompatibilityLevels returns a list of all available SQL Server version compatibility levels. An application can use one of the returned values to set the compatibility of a database using the CurrentCompatibility property.
Note CurrentCompatibility can be used withSQL Server 2000 and SQL Server version 7.0.
