HELP PLEASE:- SLX 7.2 with SQL 2008 Express Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Hi All,

I am having issues with SLX 7.2 and SQL 2008. The new software within our company uses SQL 2008 s my users are starting to use this more and more often. The problem I have is that 7.2 isn't deemed compatible with SQL 2008 (not tested).

So when I attach a DB to a machine running SQL 2008 I get errors. Is there any way of getting around this either by a known fix or somehow manually setting up the connection?

I appreciate any help on this one.

Basically, you need to make sure that the sysdba user exists, and that its password matches whatever you use on Connection Manager.
Then, after the DB is attached, you need to make sure that the sysdba from the attached DB is linked to the sysdba user on the SQL instance.
You should be able to script it, and then save and reuse.

I may be missing a step in here, but basically:
- Create a sysdba login (SQL login).
- set its password and remove the password policy settings
- Attach the database (you need to do an Attach Single File DB call)
- Fix the sysdba user on the DB (sp_change_Users_login with UPDATE_ONE parameter)

I think that would cover it, but you may want to document all steps you take to make it work.

Hi Gareth,

A question to ask is what errors are you getting when you attach the database and is this for a remote a client? If you are trying to attach a database to Saleslogix remote user make sure of the following:
(a) you have installed SQL 2008 express on the remote client machine. Also when you installed SQL 2008 express use Saleslogix for the instance name and have set the sa password in the SQL. Also in SQL 2008 setup sysdba as user and carry out what Raul has suggested (run the sysdba SQL script fix) normally found on the Saleslogix install cd.
(b) Installed SQL 2008 Native Client
(c) Installed SQL 2008 B.C. on the remote client machine
(d) Make sure that the connections in the Saleslogix Connection Manager are setup and work.
(e) test to attach the database.
