Limitations of Using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express

Edition and Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express Edition
Following are the limitations when running iVend Retail on Express Editions of SQL Server
2008 R2 and SQL Server 2012
No individual database should grow beyond 9.0 gigabytes; otherwise, iVend cannot support
the parameters set by Microsoft for using SQL Server Express Edition. To prevent this from
happening, do the following:
Monitor the growth of the databases and be sure to implement an early warning
system to advise the system administrator when the database grows to within 10%
of the 9.0 GB size limit.
Only the implementation of an early warning system can ensure that the customer
has sufficient time to upgrade to SQL Standard Edition and help you avoid
escalations.
One way you can implement an early warning system is by using the sample script at
http://searchsqlserver.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid87_gci1313431,00.html.
Based on this script, the SQL Server administrator or support engineer can perform
standard tasks such as executing SQL Server stored procedures and setting up alerts.
For more information about these tasks, see SQL Server 2008 Books Online in the
download center of the Microsoft Web site.
NOTE
This script is provided on a public page. Therefore, CitiXsys does not take any
responsibility for it.

Move the databases onto a server running Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Standard
Edition. This can be done by detaching the databases, installing the newer version of
SQL Server, and then re-attaching the files.
For more associated technical guidance, refer to Microsoft documentation.
