Hi all!!!

I tried to check database health using DBCC CHECKDB. It works fine. But when i am trying the check Index Usage statistic or index physical statistic using standard reports ,it showed me this error.

incorrect syntax near '('

i am using sql server 2008.
when i checked database options it shows that it's compatibility level is SQL SERVER 2000(80).
I googled and found that i should consider bringing it up to 2005/2008 . Is this the solution?? if so how will i do it??? and will my data will be as it is now after doing it or some data will be lost ?? I can't take risk of loosing data... please help me.

Seems you have upgraded to SQL Server 2008 from lower version....set the compatibility then it won't give this error

to set to a higher compatibility use the below code

EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel 'yourDatabaseNameHere', 100
