Maintenance Plan for Compatibility Mode 7.0 databases

Hi,
we maintain several databases which must run in Compatibility Mode 7.0.
How can I create a non script-based Maintenance Plan for these databases
in SQL Server 2005 (DBs don't show up in the Wizard).

Short answer: you can't. A database need to be in 2005 compat mode in order
for most (all?) maint
tasks to be available.

Thanks so far, Tibor,
is there possibly a workaround?
Remark: MPs also work with CM 80 databases.
Kind regards

I guess that would be to up the compat level to 80 or 90, but your apps need
to support that of
course.

unfortunately this is not a solution; due to the changes MS made to the
parser in SQL 2000, we (until we're able to redesign our app) need to
run in CM 70. Is there - to your knowledge - any reason for MS not to
support MPs on SQL 2005?
Kind regards

I don't know. Perhaps one of the priority things that we all have to deal wi
th in out projects?
