AXAPTA Database

Dear all, Standard Axapta can be installed on an Oracle or MS SQL backend. A database wizard is available for both backends. I wonder whether it is possible to set up Axapta with another database backend? What are the steps to take to have this done? Is there anyone who ever tried doing this against a Progress database? Regards, Danny

Hi Danny Everything in life is possible if you want to make it happen. If you want to run Axapta against another database you’ll have your hands full though. The problem comes in with the actual X++ code communicating to the database. At present the only hardcoding is to SQL and Oracle. To use another database you’ll have to modify a number of your classes so that your communication to the database is at least understandable to the other database. Moral of the story: Can be done but please don’t ask me to help you [:D]
