Steps (e.g., "how to") to migrate a SharePoint 2003 document library to SharePoint 2010 (not the entire site)
I am trying to move a document library from SharePoint Portal Server 2003 to SharePoint 2010. While there is lots of Technet advice on how to move SharePoint 2003 sites (via a two-step process, first to SharePoint 2007 and then to SharePoint 2010), I've not found anything about moving a document library only ... since all the data is stored in SQL 2005, it would seem that there should be a more straightforward approach (e.g., possibly extracting the appropriate records using SQL 2005 commands and then importing the result into the SQL 2008 instance associated with SharePoint 2010). I'd like to move only the document library component because it is a relatively large (> 1GB) and is the most valuable resource that makes up the current portal. As part of the upgrade to SharePoint 2010, I'm doing a lot of site clean-up/re-organization so, in some sense, except for certain valuable resources, we're starting a fresh (leaving behind the old "baggage"). The document library is a straightforward use of the "Document Library" web part that comes out-of-the-box with SharePoint 2003, there have been no customizations of any kind ... documents reside within folders, which themselves are within folders, etc. The file and folder names are descriptive (and in some cases long, e.g., 60 characters) so the nesting can generate lengthy URLs, but again there is no customization involved. Can anyone point me to a step-by-step? Thanks!
