Using a Microsoft SQL Server Database

If you will be using a Microsoft SQL Server database, you must complete the following tasks:

Install Microsoft SQL Server.
Important: When you install a Microsoft SQL Server database instance, it defaults to the collation for the locale set for the operating system. This locale setting should be used so long as it is correct for your team. Otherwise, when you automatically create a database from StarTeam Server, you cannot provide a database name, user name, or password in your language.
Install StarTeam Server.
Create and start aStarTeam Server configuration.
- If you want to automatically create the database, see Creating and Starting a Server Configuration.
- Otherwise, see Creating a Database Manually.
If you plan to use a supported version of Microsoft SQL Server, see Connecting to Microsoft SQL Server Databases.
CAUTION:
Please note the following:
- Never modify the database contents other than through the StarTeam Server client or the Server Administration Tool. Direct database manipulation is not supported.
- Never modify vault files other than through the StarTeam Server client or the Server Administration Tool.
