That won't work -- the db format has changed between 1.x and 2.x.

In evolution 1.4, go to contacts, Edit -> Select all (ctrl+a), and then
File -> Save as vCard or right-click any of the selected contacts and
select save as vCard. (I've only got evolution 2 now, so some of those
commands might be a little off but I know that you can do something like
what I described in evolution 1.) You can then import that vCard file
containing all of your contacts into evolution 2.
