Title: version of sql for cognos 8
Post by: estherlu on 12 Jun 2006 02:38:13 AM
I have a question about the version of sql for using cognos 8/ Report net. Is it possible to use SQL server 2000 or do I need to upgrade to SQL 2005? If not what kind of problem can I expect?
Thanx!

You need SQL Server 2000 SP3. The install will screw up without SP3 or higher.

I can't speak to SQL 2005. Have not used it yet.
