I've an SQL Server 2005 SP2 instance that contain old databases that are not compatible with other SP of SQL Server 2005. Those databases are on physical server that don't have any space to backup them so i planned to put them on a new virtual machine on a SQL Server 2012 instance with compatibility level at 90.
But i want to know if the compatibility level of the 2012 instance is equivalent of an SQL Server 2005 SP4 because if is this i can't put the database on it.
