FineBuild can Configure Database Properties of the SQL Server Instance.
The SQL Instance Database properties should be reviewed to confirm that they have not been changed from the default values shown.
The SQL Instance Database Properties configuration relates to Process Id 5BD and is controlled by the parameters below:
| SQL Version | Parameter | FULL Build | WORKSTATION Build | CLIENT Build |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SQL2019 | /SetupSQLInst: | Yes | Yes | N/A |
| SQL2017 | /SetupSQLInst: | Yes | Yes | N/A |
| SQL2016 | /SetupSQLInst: | Yes | Yes | N/A |
| SQL2014 | /SetupSQLInst: | Yes | Yes | N/A |
| SQL2012 | /SetupSQLInst: | Yes | Yes | N/A |
| SQL2008R2 | /SetupSQLInst: | Yes | Yes | N/A |
| SQL2008 | /SetupSQLInst: | Yes | Yes | N/A |
| SQL2005 | /SetupSQLInst: | Yes | Yes | N/A |
In order to maintain compatibility with older versions of SQL FineBuild, the parameter /ConfigSQLInst: can also be used.
FineBuild also uses the following parameters to help configure SQL Database Properties:
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| /VolData: | Drive letter for database data files. See /Vol... Parameters | |
| /VolLog: | Drive letter for database log files. See /Vol... Parameters | |
| /DirSQL: | SQLFiles | High-level folder name for SQL Server files |
In order to maintain compatibility with older versions of SQL FineBuild, the parameters /Drv...: can also be used.
The /VolData:, /VolLog: and /DirSQL: parameters are used during the SQL Server install process to define the folders used for database files, as shown below:
| Model | Example |
|---|---|
| /VolData: \ /DirSQL: \MSSQL.MSSQLSERVER.Data | J:\SQLFiles\MSSQL.MSSQLSERVER.Data |
| /VolLog: \ /DirSQL: \MSSQL.MSSQLSERVER.Log | K:\SQLFiles\MSSQL.MSSQLSERVER.Log |
The following steps show what you would have to do for manual SQL Instance Database Properties configuration. FineBuild does all of this work for you automatically.
