1 - SQL Server Express Edition may be used provided some requirements are met. See further details in "SQL Server Express Edition Restrictions" below.

2 - Files larger than 30 MB must not be stored in the database; the controlled directory option must be used.

3 - The language of the user who will connect to the database must be "English".

SoftExpert Suite makes available the data source functionality, which allows the connection with other databases. Because of the evolution of the tool, the supported DBMSs, such as PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and Oracle, will be compatible in the data source only for the supported versions noted above.

If the database version is 'SQL Server 2019', the database must have, at least, patch 15.04138 (CU11), according to the patch list at: https://sqlserverupdates.com/sql-server-2019-updates/. We highly recommend keeping database fix patches always up-to-date, as they may contain engine bug fixes.

The DEFAULT_SCHEMA of the application user must necessarily be the SQL Server "dbo" standard; otherwise, you will face issues while equalizing the database.

The connection to the DBMSs via ODBC in the data source functionality is not supported by SoftExpert Suite.

 

SQL Server Express Edition Restrictions

If the requirements below are not respected, the application performance may be harmed:

The number of simultaneous users in the solution must be inferior to 15.

No other application may use the same database server.

 

Requirements to use SQL Server Express:

SQL Server Express

2012, 2014, and 2016

Database size

10 GB

RAM

1 GB

CPU

1 CPU or 4 Cores

ATTENTION

If SoftExpert Suite is installed on a Windows server, it will be mandatory to install the 32-bit Oracle Client and the 64-bit Oracle Client. If the 32-bit Client is installed first and the 64-bit Client is installed next, then it will be only necessary to check the order of the parameters of the environment variables, because the configuration is performed automatically. Otherwise, the configuration of the PATH variable should contain, as its first parameter, the installation path of the 64-bit Oracle and then the installation path of the 32-bit Oracle.
