IM&P 11.5 External Database

[heathrw]

Hi,

I'm reviewing the CUP external DB setup guide, specifically for Microsoft SQL.  PostgreSQL and Oracle have recommended encoding but nothing mentioned regarding SQL such as a collation.

Would like to understand what others have working even better if there is specific collation the DB needs to be created?

Thanks

I am also looking what is the SQL collation that required. Is it using the SQL default Collation or Latin_General_BIN that cisco always use?

This video teaching about the external DB: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1i63VLTS98

Great video, and seems like default SQL collation.

I am able to see the list of tables created but I am unable to see the data inside.

Anyone can advise?
