[edit] Overview
If you can't migrate the built-in SQL Compact database to SQL Server without error, try this procedure.
[edit] Procedure
- Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\AuditWizard v8\db\.
- Copy aw_db.sdf elsewhere as a backup. This is the database file.
- Run the Change Database Wizard to create a new SQL Server database called AuditWizard, without migrating data. This will give you a blank SQL Server database and will change AuditWizard's database connection to that SQL Server database.
- When AuditWizard restarts, quit.
- Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\AuditWizard v8\.
- Open AuditWizardv8.exe.config in NotePad.
- Find the string CompactDatabaseType.
- Change the value of the key to True, i.e.
<add key="CompactDatabaseType" value="True" />
- Close and save the file. This changes the database connection back to the SQL Compact database.
- Relaunch AuditWizard. The SQL Compact database will be the active connection.
- Run the Change Database Wizard to migrate the data from SQL Compact to SQL Server. Note that instead of creating a new SQL Server database, you need to change the radio button to Connect to an existing database and choose the AuditWizard database from the menu.
