SQL "Denali" testing

mdgraves

I know the product has not be certified for SQL "Denali", but we're testing SQL "Denali"CTP-3 here and just attempted to install Redgate SQL_Backup_6.5.0.73. The install - 'setup.exe' appeared to work, but when we registered the instance name, we got the following error. Any suggestions?

‘DATABASEPROPERTY’ is not a recognized built-in function name.

Your version will not work with Denali because as Aaron Bertrand says

DATABASEPROPERTY()
You should use DATABASEPROPERTYEX() or, better yet, get your database-related metadata from catalog views such as sys.databases. Chances are, DATABASEPROPERTYEX() will find its way out of the product at some point, too.

Hi,

Yes, we're aware of this issue with the UI, and will obviously address this. Note that during the work to release v6.5, we tested the engine against the then-current CTP of "Denali", and it worked fine. So this is a UI issue, not an engine issue.

Best regards,


Colin.

Thanks Colin and Chris. I will complete the installation manually, and test my SQL code that calls the backup.
