Enough is enough with MS-SQL!

I’m suffering too many troubles with P6 based on SQL, strange error code messages which results in exit and terminating the interface and loss some date and layouts.

I guess that; It’s about the connection establishment with the SQL server, although I’m using local-server.

Now, I know that; P6 can be configured to be working with SQL and Oracle, the first platform is provided with the installation CDs to be installed first then configuring the database to be created on the SQL server.

My question is; what I have to do in order to create my database based on Oracle platform instead of SQL, and how can I switch between them?

Do I miss understand such topics? Please advice.

Best Regards,

    Why don’t you call Primavera and have them walk you through? Or, Primavera usually has literature with screen shots that takes you throught the process.

    You have the option of creating an Oracle database instead of MySQL when you do a new install.

    I don’t believe you can convert a SQL database to Oracle but you will be able to export all of your data to one XER and import it into the new database. Just hope it isn’t too big or you have a lot of baselines.

    "You have the option of creating an Oracle database instead of MySQL when you do a new install " you mean MSSQL,

    but anyway ORACLE has just bought Sun which own MySQL, who know perhaps next version of Primavera will support MySQL, ;)

    happy planning
