6.5 connectivity to 2000

Is it safe to use 6.5 connectivity on a 95 machine to
connect to a SQL 2000 installation on Win 2K?Hi,
No issues. You can execute all commands. Only demerit is that you wont get
the GUI facilities available in SQL 2000 client.
FYI, You cant use SQL 6.5 enterprise manager to connect to SQL 2000. Only
ISQLW can be used .

stuff in 7.0/2000 will not be available. Such includes longer strings than
255 characters, Unicode, uniqueidentifier etc.
