Moodle with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2
Posted on 2010-09-02
Hello,
Currently we are using Moodle with MySQL Database. As We know MySQL dont provide features like MS SQL, so we are looking to use Moodle with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2.
My Questions Are:
1. Is it possible to use Moodle with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2?
2. How we can convert our current Database (MySQL 5.1) to Microsoft SQL Server 2008 without loosing any Data?
3. Will Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 provide same compatibility with Moodle like as MySQL.
4. Any other guideline?
Thanks beforehand.

It suggests that MS SQL is now supported by the MS SQL Driver for PHP (rather than mssql or odbc).

Hi
1. It is possible to use Moodle with MSSQL 2008
2. You should be able to transfer your data across, you might have to use the MySQL ODBC driver to achieve this (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/5.1.html)
3. There are more likely to be issues with Moodle using MSSQL 2008 than if you used MySQL
4. Useful Links:

@Silhouette
Thanks for your comments.
Today I was trying to move data from mySQL to SQL SErver 2008 R2.
But I am facing some problem.
One Error is occurring:
"mdl_pml_table_coords" -> [dbo].[mdl_pml_table_coord
The Data type could not be assigned the column "x" in "SQL Server Native client 10.0"
Note: the data type of "x" in MySQL table is Double, same error is occurring with columns those have float datatype.
How to resolve this problem?

I have change datatype to Decimal and it solved my problem.
Next Problem is, when I run the package to move data and tables. I got below error

Now I am not trying to use Import/Export of SQL Server.
I tried with http://www.codeproject.com/KB/database/migrate-mysql-to-mssql.aspx and I am able to move my data in SQL Server 2008 R2.
