Debug To help with the installation of SQL 2008 R2, the debug tools have been improved. However, if the user takes an older database from 2012 R1, for instance, and makes a backup, a computer with 2012 R1 and SQL 2005 will not be able to read it until they upgrade to SQL 2008 R2. A database that is upgraded to SQL 2008 R2 can no longer be reverted back to SQL For instance, if the user upgrades his computer to 2013 R2 installation and still wants to work with older versions, they will work fine. If any other instances use SQL 2005 it should not be uninstalled. After the upgrade, the ECSQLEXPRESS instance will be running on SQL 2008 R2, which means that if the user wants to uninstall Microsoft SQL Server 2005, he can do it without any problems. Also, any other software that uses SQL will be unaffected and will remain on SQL 2005, after the upgrade to SQL 2008 R2. If older Edgecam versions are installed on the computer, they will continue to work after the SQL 2008 R2 upgrade. If an existing Edgecam installation is present on the computer, Edgecam will upgrade the ECSQLEXPRESS instance to 2008 R2.

New installations will install SQL 2008 R2 directly. Edgecam 2012 R2, 2013 R R2 upgrade SQL from Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express to Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express. SQL 2005 Express was installed with all versions prior to Edgecam 2012 R2. The SQL installation can be skipped if a domain network is being used (see step 1 below). 1 Edgecam and SQL 2008 R2 Edgecam 2013 R2 installs Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Express as a pre-requisite.
