Microsoft SQL Server Database Requirements

Microsoft SQL Server Database Requirements

Use the following guidelines when you set up the repository:
  • Specify the database schema name when you use Microsoft SQL Server as the Model Repository database.
  • Set the allow snapshot isolation and read committed isolation level to ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION and READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT to minimize locking contention.
    To set the isolation level for the database, run the following commands:
    ALTER DATABASE
    DatabaseName
     SET ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION ON
    ALTER DATABASE
    DatabaseName
     SET READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT ON
    To verify that the isolation level for the database is correct, run the following commands:
    SELECT snapshot_isolation_state FROM sys.databases WHERE name=[DatabaseName]
    SELECT is_read_committed_snapshot_on FROM sys.databases WHERE name =
    DatabaseName
  • The database user account must have the CONNECT, CREATE TABLE, and CREATE VIEW privileges.
