Database is in compatibility range and upgrade is recommended

I had moved the SharePoint content databases from one farm to another recently. After the migration was completed I browsed to Central Adminitration -> Upgrade and Migration -> Review Database Status. The migrated Sharepoint content database had the Status as "Database is in compatibility range and upgrade is recommended".

This indicated I had to manually upgrade these content databases.



This was because I moved the content databases from SharePoint 2010 SP1 to SharePoint 2010 SP2.

This is how it should be solved if I am not wrong:

Test-SPContentDatabase -Name ContentDBName -WebApplication http://webapp/ > c:\result1.txt (to confirm that there are no Upgrade Blocking categories that equal true)

Upgrade-SPContentDatabase -Name ContentDBName (Depending on the size of the database, this process could take long time)



Once completed 100% the database upgrade, browse to Central Administration -> Upgrade and Migration -> Review Database Status. Confirm that the content database now has Status as "No action required".
