Place the repository in
different database
In the previous versions, all the repositories were stored in a same SQL Server database named "SourceAnywhere". Since version 3.0, users are allowed to place different repositories in different SQL Server databases.
This new feature gives users two benefits:
1. Break through the database storage limitation of
free SQL Server Express.
For example, if you are using SQL Server 2008 Express,
you are limited to use only 4GB storage for per SQL Server database. In the
previous version, all the SourceAnywhere repositories share the 4GB
storage. However, since version 3.0, each of your repository is able to use 4GB
storage.
2. Facilitate individual repository backup.
Since each of your repository is able to be placed in separate database, you can back individual repository in SQL Server.
NOTE:
The repository "Default" is created during the installation of SourceAnywhere
Standalone Server and it is placed in SQL Server database "SourceAnywhere" by
default. You are allowed to place new added repositories to different databases
except for "Default".
