Since I was updating to the recently released EPDM SP2 I decided to update SQL Server at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of my thoughts and suggestions for those of you moving to SQL Server 2008:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Before updating, be sure to perform a full back-up <\/li>\n<li>The installation is slightly different than the 2005 version but pretty straightforward. The details of menu selections can be found in the EPDM Installation Guide.<\/li>\n<li>If you want to install the Microsoft sample AdventureWorks databases on x86 platform, make sure &quot;Full Text Search Feature&quot; is turned on AND enable &quot;SQL Full-text Daemon Launcher (MSSQLSERVER)&quot; service, before installing the sample databases. This should be done during the SQL Server install.<\/li>\n<li>If you use SQL Server Management Studio to run T-SQL queries, you\u2019ll be excited by the new <strong>T<\/strong>&#8211;<strong>SQL IntelliSense<\/strong> support \u2013 very cool!<\/li>\n<li>In SQL Server Management Studio, the <strong>Design Query in Editor\u2026<\/strong> icon is no longer on the toolbar by default, but if you right-click in the query window you will find it there.<\/li>\n<li>Reporting Services has also been improved. If you have not explored this functionality, it allows you to generate a wealth of standard reports that can be accessed via a web interface.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/2\/6a00d83451706569e2010536f88482970c.jpg\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Report\" border=\"0\" class=\"at-xid-6a00d83451706569e2010536f88482970c image-full \" src=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/2\/6a00d83451706569e2010536f88482970c-800wi.jpg\" title=\"Report\" \/><\/a>\n <\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the move to SQL Server 2008 was almost seamless and offers some cool new features that can enhance any EPDM installation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is my first post to the SolidWorks Blog.
