I am currently in the process of migrating a sharepoint site from 2007 to 2013 via a double hop database attach method.

But i am attaching the content db to 2010 environment then it gives me the following error.

[Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPContentDatabaseSequence] cannot upgrade an object [SPContentDatabase Name=test_ContentDB_BackUp] whose build version [12.0.0.6318] is too old . Upgrade requires [12.0.0.6421] or higher.

Pls suggest what is the right 2010 version to make it work. because i can not make any changes to the 2007 version and i have configured the 2010 as test environment so i can either upgrade or make changes.

Your environment must be updated to at least Service Pack 2 of Office SharePoint Server 2007 to run the upgrade process, either for an in-place or database attach upgrade. We recommend that you install the October 2009 Cumulative Update because it includes improvements to the pre-upgrade checker tool.

Review system requirements for upgrade (SharePoint Server 2010)

You are 12.0.0.6318( MOSS 2007 – WSS 3.0 Infrastructure Update), you need to update the services pack 2(12.0.0.6421)

    If you have another farm with SP2 then you can detach the current db from non-sp2 farm, make a backup and restore on SP2 farm...attach to SP2 farm web app...now it will upgraded to new version...now detach from SP2 farm and move to sp2010 farm.
