    Posted: 20 December 2010 at 12:52pm
hello
 
we are trying to upgrade from version 7 to 9 and we have a problem during the database update .
 
this is the error we get:
 
Server Error in Forum Application
An error initialising Global Variables from database.
Please contact the forum administrator.
 
Support Error Code:- err_SQLServer_getForumConfigurationData()_read_global_variables
File Name:- global_variables_inc.asp
 
Error details:-
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Invalid column name 'ID'.
 
and this is the place in the code where it appears
 
'Initialise the SQL variable with an SQL statement to get the configuration details from the database
                        strSQL = "SELECT " & strDbTable & "Configuration.* " & _
                        "FROM " & strDbTable & "Configuration" &  strDBNoLock & " " & _
                        "WHERE " & strDbTable & "Configuration.ID = 1;"
 
 
what can we do?
thnx

It sounds like you are trying to run the forum without first upgrading the database.

Follow the upgrade instructions for SQL Server at the link below:-

We already have upgrading the database but an exception still exists (Table Configuration does not contains the "Id" field ,but that field is demanded).Perhaps we need to do something extra?Do you have some suggestion or somebody else has encountered the same problem.
Thank you.

Your database is either not upgraded or not upgraded correctly.

Go back to the back of the database that you should have made before the upgrade and try going through the upgrade process again.

Hi,
This is table configuration it haven't column with name ID that script try to read it...
 
Error details:-
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Invalid column name 'ID'.
 
Maybe we have version 6? ...I see in code
 
'Intialise variables
'Const strVersion = "7.9"
strVersion = "7.9"
 
Or maybe we need to update from version 7 to 8 and after to 9?...

Looking at the image you have non of the fields created that are for version 9 in the table.

The setup/upgrade wizard will take a version 7.x database and upgrade it directly to version 9.x.

Once the database is upgraded using the install setup/upgrade wizard you will have the new fields in the database including the ID field that is presently giving you the error message.
