Migrating from SQL Standard Edition to Enterprise Edition
Hi,
Our client is migrating our umbraco Database from SQL Standard Edition to Enterprise Edition. 1) Can anybody let me know if is there any issue will occur due to this? 2) Will Courier work with Enterprise Edition properly?
What versions of the databases are being used? If you're going from 2008 to for instance 2012 there should be no issues - But if you're using 2012 standard edition and 2008 enterprise edition there might be some challenges doing the migration. Or if you're using SQL 2008 R2 - But Umbraco and Courier should work fine on any version of the MSSQL databases to my knowledge.
But make sure to keep a backup of the data before starting the process of course.
Exactly "Always On" feature means you connect to a AGL (availability group listener) instead of a SQL Server directly. We have been using the feature, the only thing you need to do is add "MultiSubnetFailover=Yes" to your connection strings.
However correctly configuring the AGL and all the other required services for "Always On" is complex so make sure they know what they are doing with it.

Hi Dhiren,
Yes, the edition of SQL servers doesn't make any difference to Umbraco.
Do you know why they are migrating to Enterprise? We only use Enterprise edition for AGL's, these also work with Umbraco if configured correctly.

Hi Jan,
Thanks for your quick response.
We are migrating from SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition to SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition. Will it create any specific issue?
Thanks,

Hi Jeaven,
They are migrating due to AlwaysOn feature of SQL which is only availabe in Enterprise edition.

Hi Dhiren
Ok, but then there should be no compatibility issues.

Hi Jeavon,
Thanks for your quick response. Can you please help me in understanding what exactly this "MultiSubnetFailover=Yes" does?
Thanks,

Hi Dhiren,
