When configuring LinkFixer Advanced to use Microsoft SQL
Server, you should create a separate, blank database specifically for LinkFixer
Advanced. The application will automatically create the required database
schema during setup.
Do not create tables or schemas manually before
connecting LinkFixer Advanced. The application is designed to handle this
configuration itself.
Database Requirements
When preparing a SQL Server database for LinkFixer
Advanced, ensure the following requirements are met:
Blank Database
Create a new, empty database that will be used exclusively by LinkFixer
Advanced.
User Permissions
The database user configured in LinkFixer Advanced must have read and write
permissions for the database.
Default Schema
The database must use the default schema ("dbo").
LinkFixer Advanced creates its schema objects within the default schema and does not use named schemas. Because the application operates
entirely within a single schema, conflicts with other schemas are unlikely.
Important Notes
Do
not reuse an existing database that already contains tables or schemas
unrelated to LinkFixer Advanced.
Allow
LinkFixer Advanced to automatically create and manage its required
database objects.
Ensure
the SQL Server user account has sufficient permissions before configuring
the connection.
