back to the topMicrosoft SQL stored procedure update is required to install Project Server updates
To make sure that your Project Server has all the fixes that are
contained in this update applied correctly, follow these steps:
- Run the self-extracting package. This will extract the
files to a temporary directory that you select.
- For each SQL query file (such as the Websps.sql file) that
is extracted to the temporary directory that you indicated in step 1, do one of
the following:
- If you are using Microsoft SQL Server as the backend
for your Project Server, follow these steps:
- Run SQL Query Analyzer on the main SQL Server in
your configuration.
- In the Database drop-down box,
select the ProjectServer database.
- On the File menu, click
Open, locate the SQL Query file (located in the temporary
directory that is specified in step 1), and then open the file.
- On the Query menu, click
Execute.
- When the query is finished running, quit Query
Analyzer.
- If you are using SQL Server Desktop Engine (Also Known
As MSDE 2000) as the backend for your Project Server, follow these steps:
- On the main SQL Server in your configuration, click
Start, click Run, type osql -i
tempdir\queryfile.sql -U sa in the Open box, and
then click OK.
For example, if you extracted the
files in step 1 to C:\Temp and the name of the query file was Websps.sql, you
would type osql -i c:\temp\websps.sql -U sa. This
connects you to the local, default instance of MSDE 2000 by using the System
Administrator account. You may also run osql with another username that has
System Administrator permissions on the server. - At the Password prompt, type the
password for the account that you used in step a, and then press
ENTER.
- The SQL query file that you specified in step a
will now run.
