Trying to decide which is better and more stable SQl Srver 2000 or 2005.
(also, which is easier?)
Can anyone provide any key points?

Thank you

Both have been around long enough to be called stable. 2005 also has many
great new features. Unless you have some legacy requirement for the earlier
version then 2005 should be the natural choice (This is based on my
experience with the 2005 server and Integration Services. I'm not an expert
on Analysis Services so someone else may have some views about that).

Take a look at:

Whenever possible please post enough code to reproduce your problem.
Including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements usually helps.
State what version of SQL Server you are using and specify the content
of any error messages.
