Database

Before you begin deploying the EasyBox Database, navigate to the /Database/Upgrade folder under the installation files folder and copy Updgrade_v1.x.x.sql to the server where SQL Server Management Studio is installed. The version of the file you want to select is the version that is currently installed. For example if the current version of the database that is deployed is v1.4.2, copy Updgrate_v1.4.2.sql to server where SQL Server Management Studio is installed.

  1. Open SQL Server Management Studio and connect to the server where the database is going to be deployed

  2. On the menu click File > Open > File… and open the recently copied over Updgrade_v1.x.x.sql file

  3. On the menu click Query > SQLCMD Mode
     
  4. In the script, modify the DatabaseName to name of the deployed EasyBox Database
     
  5. On the menu click Query > Execute
     

Note: When executing the upgrade script make sure it is running in the context of the EasyBox Database
