Using SQL backend DiegoF 4/25/2007 7:16:06 PM Is anyone using a existing SQL database as the backend database. We have an existing application that utilizes a SQL database, and I was wondering if anyone has configured their BCM application to point to an existing database, instead of creating a new database.

There have been many discussions on that subject, and it is now supported in BCM 2007. Search this newsgroup for the nitty-gritty.

RE: Using SQL backend Samvnw51 4/27/2007 1:46:02 PM You can use an existing "Instance" of SQL2005 to host your BCM db. We are doing that now. However, I doubt that you can use an existing db. BCM needs a whole set of predefined interlinked tables in it's db that would not be present in the db used by your existing app. the BCM db tool creates the virgin BCM db with all the needed tables and scripts.
