ejabberd on Microsoft Windows with MSSQL Server 2000

Requirements

ejabberd with MS SQL Server 2000 has been tested on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. You are supposed to have Windows and SQL Server 2000 installed on your system before going further.

Database creation

We recommand to create a new database called 'ejabberd', with the SQL Enterprise Manager tool. Create a user called 'ejabberd' with password 'ejabberd'. Give this user the right of "database owner".

Two SQL scripts are needed:

  • The first script defines the database structure: ejabberd_tables.sql
  • The second script contains the stored procedures definition: ejabberd_procs.sql

You need to open those two file with the SQL Query Analyzer in order to create the ejabberd database.

 

ODBC Configuration

You then need to create an ODBC source to access the database. You can create the ODBC configuration with the ODBC administration tool, available from "Administration tools" section in Windows control panel.
