SQL Server Database Creation Script

If your account on the Meridian Enterprise Server server does not have sufficient privileges to create a new database on the database server as described in Create a Meridian Explorer Repository, you can create the repository database with the following script.

Important!

Do not use this script to create a Meridian Enterprise vault database. This script is for creating Meridian Explorer repositories only. The database structures for vaults and for Meridian Explorer repositories are different. Instead, create the database as described in Create the Vault Database Manually.

This script does not create a FILESTREAM file group. If you intend to use that feature for the repository, the file group must be configured manually.

To create a Meridian Enterprise Server configuration database manually, simply create a new database with the default parameters.

Create a Meridian Explorer Repository Database on the Database Server

To create a Meridian Explorer repository database on the database server:

In SQL Server Management Studio, run the following T-SQL script to create an empty database with the required file groups.
Change every occurrence of the text <DatabaseName> in the following script to the desired database name.
Edit the path specified for each of the filename parameters to refer to the correct locations.
