Sharepoint Migration approaches

There are two basic upgrade approaches available in Sharepoint .
1.In-Place approach
2.Database Attach .
1.In Place approach
You can install SharePoint Server 2010 on the same hardware. You can also upgrade the content and settings in the server farm as part of a single process
2.Database attach
You can upgrade the content for the environment on a separate farm. The result is that you do not upgrade any of the services or farm settings. You can upgrade the databases in any order and upgrade several databases at the same time. While each database is being upgraded, the content in that database is not available to users.
Special case consideration
 Database attach is the solution for the following cases.
Upgrading from SharePoint Portal Server 2003
Upgrading from Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
Upgrading Microsoft Office Forms Server 2007 to SharePoint Server 2010
