webwiz   =  SQL Database Name
SQL900   =  The SQL User Name

This is automatically picked up from the front page of the migration script when I put in my SQL server name, SQL User, and SQL Password. 

Does this make any sense at all

Let me know.

Thanks,

How are you getting this.

There is no table called tblwebwiz and nothing called SQL900.

Are you making some strange modifications or have you changed the table prefix?

Such anger….  :0

I did a few searches but due to my limited time I thought Iwould post.. 

The reason I said it was in beta test was the followingsentence on the tools main page?


“PleaseRead!!
This tool is in beta testing and should NOT be used on production web serversor live database.”


So withthat being said I ran through the directions step by step with the tool and I get the followingerrors listed below.  If you could explain any of themI will make the changes and do a full upgrade. 

There havebeen no custom modifications of the database.

Actuallyall the errors have to do with the following “because this table does not existin database”  ?

Here isan example?

ErrorUpdating the Table tblwebwiz
Cannot alter table 'SQ900.tblwebwiz' because this table does not exist indatabase 'webwiz'.

I willsee if my ISP will give me Enterprise Mangement access to look at the tables:\

Beta upgrade tool!!

There isn't a beta upgrade tool that I know of, but there is an 7.x to 8.x upgrade tool available on the forum download page.

With the upgrade tool there is also a step by step guide on how to upgrade your database, but if you have made any modifications to the database these first need to be removed.
