Forum K - 12 Schools Forum: Re: Sharepoint Integration

The main problem we can foresee is that code to actually create the database initially is quite different in MS SQL as it is to MySQL.

We've tried to create a "database neutral" system, the initial definition of the database tends to have to be tweaked from database to database, as there is so much stuff that is different across databases.

So while we should be able change a setting in LAMS itself to say "use MS SQL" syntax once LAMS is running (and we've never tried it so I'll say should rather than can), getting LAMS set up in the first place is harder.

This applies to both creating the database initially and to a lesser extend applies when we doing the upgrades for LAMS.

I'm not saying this is impossible - I'm just saying off the top of my head that's the first major problem I know you will run into if you try it.
