SQL SERVER & INTELLIGENT QUOTE
We have put together information to assist you in utilizing SQL Server as your iQ database. We assume that
you have the ability to install and configure SQL Server and copy and backup files and databases.
Software Requirements:
The vendor supported versions of SQL Server are:
SQL Server 2005 or later
SQL Server Express 2005 or later
If you plan on using SQL Server Express, we recommend that you use 2008 as its import\export functionality
works better than the 2005 version.
