Merging two dbs

Hi
I have two sql server 2005 dbs on server A. I need to copy all items
(tables, view, sps and so on) from the two dbs into a single db on server B.
The added problem is that server B is SQL Server 2000 so direct copy is
perhaps not possible. How can I achieve this?
Thanks
RegardsYou can script out all the objects and try running on the 2000 Server|||The easiest way would be to add an instance of 2005 on that server and
simply copy them<g>. But assuming that is not an option and you have not
used any 2005 specific features or datatypes you can still do it. First
script all the objects using SSIS and then run those scripts in the other
db. Then export the data from the 2005 dbs and import them into the tables
in the 200 instance. Make sure to backup everything first.
