VT3000 - Scripting SQL Databases

---

---

Overview Use the instructions below to script an SQL database. This method is only needed when the user is attempting to use a newer version database in an older version. Example: Use a SQL Server 2017 database on an SQL 2012 Server. This guide will explain how to create the script, there is another guide on running the script inside SQL Server.

Requirements See Requirements Here 1. The VT3000 Core Software installed and running on your system. 2. The Databases must already exist in your SQL Server Instance. 3.
