Introduction

See StuertzCloud - Setup Overview for an overview of the setup.

This tutorial covers the setup of the Local SQL Express database instance and creating a "ProOpt" database structure on it.

• This database installed on the 'Location' local network.
• The 'Machines' write their production data to it
• The 'Gateway' software uploads this data to the StuertzCloud server

...You must have SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) installed to manage the databases

Étape 1 - Download and Install SQL Server Express 2022

👉 Download SQL Server Express 2022

• Run the Installer: Locate the downloaded file named

SQL2022-SSEI-Expr.exe

• and double-click it to launch the installer.
• Choose Installation Type: In the installer window, select the Basic installation option. This will install SQL Server Express with default settings.
• Accept License Terms: Read and accept the license terms to proceed with the installation.
• Installation Progress: The installer will download and install the necessary components. This process may take several minutes.
• Installation Complete: Once the installation is complete, you'll see a confirmation screen. You can note the instance name (usually SQLEXPRESS) for future reference.
• SA password

Étape 2 - Verify Installation

After installation, you can verify that SQL Server Express is running by:

• Opening SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
• Connecting to the server using the instance name

(e.g., .\SQLEXPRESS)

• Ensuring that the connection is successful and that you can see the server objects.

Étape 3 - Download the ProOpt sql schema

This is stored on the Software versions Monday Board

Étape 4 - Open SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)

Launch SSMS and connect to your local server. If you used default settings, the server name will be:

.\SQLEXPRESS

Use “Windows Authentication”

Tick trust Server certificate

...We will set up SQL Authentication later

Étape 5 - Enable SQL Server Authentication Mode

• In Object Explorer, right-click your server and select Properties.
• Go to the Security page.
• Under Server authentication, select: SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode
• Click OK.

Étape 6 - Restart SQL Service

1. In SSMS, open Object Explorer.
2. Right-click the server name at the top
3. Click Restart and confirm.

Alternatively, you can use SQL Server Configuration Manager if SSMS doesn’t show the restart option:

• Open

SQL Server Configuration Manager

• Expand SQL Server Services
• Right-click SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) and choose Restart

Étape 7 - Enable the "sa" Login and Set a Password

• In SSMS, expand:

Security > Logins

• Right-click on sa and choose Properties
• In the General page:
  • Set a strong password (and confirm it)
• Switch to the Status page:
  • Set Login to: Enabled
• Click OK to save changes

Étape 8 - Test the sa Login

confirm that SQL Authentication works:

1. Disconnect your current session in SSMS.
2. Click Connect again.
3. Set:
   • Server name: .\SQLEXPRESS
   • Authentication: SQL Server Authentication
   • Login: sa
   • Password: (use the one you just set)

Étape 9 - Create a ProOpt Database

1. Right click on Databases->New Database
2. Call it ProOpt

Étape 10 - Open the SQL Script

• Go to File > Open > File…
• Browse to and open the script file:

ProOpt-StuertzCloud-Reference-Database-20240131 (4).sql

Étape 11 - Run the script in the ProOpt database

1. Select the ProOpt database in the drop down query menu
2. Execute the script
3. Check the proOpt tables have been created
