Question A downgrade path is not supported.

[mrtlcstd]

I have a problem regarding my sql server. I have a file on my personal computer that is not supported to the sql server of my laptop. I can open the file, but the database cannot.

Here's the error:

"The database 'DatabaseName' cannot be opened because it is version 655. This server supports version 611 and earlier. A downgrade path is not supported."

What should I do?

Upgrade your SQL Server instance. DB version of 611 means your instance is SQL Server 2005. Install 2008 R2 SP2 instead. Or 2012 (be warned that 2012 is somewhat heavier...).
