Installation Instructions

This document will attempt to explain how to use the SQL script to generate your MS-SQL database.

1. Start up the Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise Manager. Connect to your database server and navigate to the 'Databases' folder.

2. Point to 'Action' then to 'New Database'.

3. Type in a name for your new database and click 'OK'.



4. Navigate to the 'Security' folder. Point to 'Action' then to 'New Login'.

5. Choose a name and password for the new database account you have just made (pick "SQL Server Authentication"). Change the default database to be your new BBS database.



6. Click on the tab that says 'Database Access'. Find the database you just created and checkmark it. At the bottom, pick 'db_dataowner', 'db_datareader', 'db_datawriter', to give this logon READ/WRITE access to this database.



Close the Enterprise Manager and start up the Query Analyzer. Log in to your database with administrator privileges (sa account?). Make certain that the database is set to the new database you created in the previous steps. Paste in the SQL script and hit the 'Play' button. All your database tables should be created.
