Change the database server

By default, the PDXpert Application Server installs and manages a Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition database instance called PDXPERT. If you wish to change the instance (for example, you want to use a different instance name), then you can specify the instance with the Change Database Server... button.

Ensure that all users are logged out of the PDXpert client application before the database instance is changed.

  1. Click on the Manage tab.

  2. In the System changes area, click on the Change Database Server... button to open the SQL Server Selector dialog.

  3. Select a Database engine (instance) name from the dropdown list, and click the OK button to save your selection. (The instance must already exist on the local computer before you can select it from the dropdown list.)

    This change only specifies which SQL Server engine will load your database. Your database, library and index remain in exactly the same data directory.
