service (OLConnect_MySQL).
Warning
If a Connect 1.5 user wants to use Microsoft SQL instead of MySQL for the Connect Server, there
are several points to be taken care of:
l
IF there should possibly be available some foreign MySQL instance, which could
be used intermediately, then this should be selected during the setup. This ensures,
that no stuff gets installed. Otherwise the supplied MySQL needs to be installed and
the switch to Microsoft SQL needs to be done as outlined above.
l It is not possible to uninstall the supplied MySQL in this case via a Connect 1.5
modify.

1.
Run the Update to Connect 1.6. This will assume the local MySQL database needs to
be updated and configured, so the user has to enter a root password on the MySQL
Configuration Page (can be any password matching Connect security rules).
2.
After the update, the Connect 1.6 Setup needs to be run once more to modify Connect.
3.
On the Product Selection page, now the MySQL product can be unselected.

allows to configure the Microsoft SQL Server with appropriate settings.
After this modification, the local MySQL is removed, and also the service dependency from
Server to MySQL is removed.
Note
If Connect was initially installed not containing the local MySQL product (i.e. on 1.5 installation an
