Vault Downgrade MS SQL Database

Post by cpede » Fri Jun 08, 2018 4:07 am

How do I downgrade from one MS SQL Express 2018 database to a standard MS SQL 2005 database with Vault?

It seems that the Vault Backup/Restore rely on the build-in SQL backup/restore and therefore comes in trouble when downgrading?

You would need to downgrade your database from within SQL to use an older SQL Server version. I don't believe that Microsoft supports this but I was able to locate some information online from miscellaneous websites. You would need to obtain a backup of your Vault database, perform the downgrade from within SQL Server and then restore your database back into Vault.

Thanks,
