Yeah, its there so that you can create a database for the forum without having to do it from a browser.  Reasons are many

System admins perfer not to give accounts "db owner" access

Create the database on the machine thats using NT Security only instead of SQL and Windows

etc etc etc

Just to be more specific, the file was located outside of the forum directory... same place as the License, Readme, and Version History files.]]> Sun, 14 Dec 2003 10:20:41 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/purpose-of-web-wiz-forums-sql-sql-file_topic8075_post41231.html#41231 <![CDATA[Purpose of Web_Wiz_Forums_SQL.sql file? : I just downloaded and installed...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/purpose-of-web-wiz-forums-sql-sql-file_topic8075_post41216.html#41216 Author: joshualane

I just downloaded and installed the forum (SQL version 7.6), however I'm not sure what I should do with the following file: Web_Wiz_Forums_SQL.sql

There's no mention of it anywhere in the documentation and I couldn't find anything here on the forum doing a search. Within the code itself are commands to create some tables in the SQL database and also some stored procedures. Should I run this? ...and if so, where would it go?

Thanks for your help.]]> Sun, 14 Dec 2003 07:42:52 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/purpose-of-web-wiz-forums-sql-sql-file_topic8075_post41216.html#41216
