install for vendor product

  • I need to prepare a Sql server 2005 installation for our staff who just purchased a vendor product.

    I know the version of SQL server I need to install, what else should I know from the staff?

    For example, do I need to ask them what collation of the databasle, then I should install the collation of what they have for server. Is that right?

    What else should I know?

  • i'd ask for an install document. no doubt you will need to setup logins, agent jobs, deploy scripts etc...... ?

  • For collation, if I install SQL server using whatever the default collation is, even the vendor product database is different collation, it will work, correct?

    Thanks

  • It should. IIRC, you can specify the collation in your query if you absolutely have to. Either that or you can set it globally in a stored procedure, run the query, and set it back again.

  • i'd ask for an install document. no doubt you will need to setup logins, agent jobs, deploy scripts etc...... ?

    I completely agree. If you do anything without having read the Vendor's install document then you risk having to redo a lot of your work.
