Server Installation

Before Installation

It is a good practice to backup all databases as well as the operating system before installing any type of software.

System Requirements

Db Maint requires that the following extended stored procedures are available to the sysadmin role for execution (they are available by default):

master..xp_cmdshell

master..xp_sendmail For email support if not using SMTP

Db Maint also needs ISQL.EXE (6.5) or OSQL.EXE (7.0 or higher).

Installation

Make sure that you have restarted the machine after you installed SQL Server.

Run setup.exe from the subdirectory \X86\SQL65 on the installation CD.

After the setup program was executed, start the program “Db Maint – System Tables Administration” from the Db Maint program group. This program creates the Db Maint system tables.

The Db Maint client will notify you if you log in to a SQL Server and the Db Maint system tables are missing.

System tables

Db Maint installs a number of system tables. You will be notified when running the “System Table Administration” program if any of the Db Maint system tables already exists (and whether the table was created with Db Maint or not).
