Hi there.
This is Sergio here, thanks for using our website freelancer com.
I am a strong databse developer with the Sql Server database. I have several times run database updating processes, so I will be able to help with your project of updating from SQL Express to 2008r2 to Express 2017. Essentially there are some changes need to be done manually as the update process leaves some syntax errors, which can be easily corrected. I expect not much change on the application consuming the databsae will be needed.
Could you please get in touch to discuss further?
Many thanks,
Sergio
