System Requirements

Total SQL Analyzer Pro uses Microsoft SQL Distributed Management Objects (DMO) to interact with SQL Server. Since we recommend that you install Total SQL Analyzer Pro on a computer other than your SQL Server computer, this means that you need the required components on the client computer where you wish to install Total SQL Analyzer Pro.

For more information on choosing the optimal client computer for Total SQL Analyzer Pro, see Installing the Trial.

Installing the Trial

Step 1: Determine where you will install Total SQL Analyzer Pro

Before you install Total SQL Analyzer Pro, take a moment to determine the best place for the program to run. To do this, follow these guidelines:

• Since you typically do not want to install any client software on the same system that hosts your Microsoft SQL Server database, it is important that you do not install Total SQL Analyzer Pro on your SQL Server Database system. Running client software on your server machine would detrimentally affect SQL Server performance. Install Total SQL Analyzer Pro on a client computer.

• If you want to use Total SQL Analyzer Pro to document SQL Server 2000 systems, do not install Total SQL Analyzer Pro on a computer that has SQL Server 7 client tools or SQL-DMO 7 installed. If you install Total SQL Analyzer Pro on a computer that has SQL Server 7 client tools, Total SQL Analyzer Pro will use the existing SQL-DMO 7 object library, which is not capable of accessing SQL Server 2000 systems.

• If you choose a computer that already has SQL Server 2000 client tools installed, the Total SQL Analyzer Pro setup program will update your SQL-DMO components to Service Pack 1. This is necessary because of numerous issues related to the original shipping version of SQL-DMO 2000. The Service Pack 1 software has been certified by Microsoft to be fully backward compatible with the original shipping version. If your computer is relying on the original shipping version of SQL-DMO 2000, however, you may want to consider installing Total SQL Analyzer Pro on a different computer.

• If you choose a computer that does not have SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 7 client tools installed, you will need to install Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) version 2.6 or later. This software is not included with Total SQL Analyzer Pro, but is freely available from the Microsoft Download site. In this configuration, be sure to install MDAC 2.6 or later before you install Total SQL Analyzer Pro. After installing, you will be able to document both SQL Server 7 and SQL Server 2000 databases.
  
  You can download MDAC 2.6 from the Microsoft Data Access Download Site free of charge.

Step 2 - Close all Programs

Before running Total SQL Analyzer Pro setup, please close any other running programs, including virus scanners, disk utilities, and programs in your Windows Start folder.

Step 3 - Download and Run the Setup Program

To start the setup process, download the Trial Setup:

To view the readme file once Total SQL Analyzer Pro has been installed, go to Start, Programs, FMS, Total SQL Analyzer Pro, Readme File.
