Color iControl SQL Database Setup

February 2012

Color iControl is designed to use Microsoft Access database, a MicroSoft SQL Server database, or both. Color
iControl includes a default MS Access database with ability to create additional MS Access databases if needed.
Color iControl can be configured to use a customer supplied SQL Server 2000, 2005 or 2008 database. To use
a SQL Server database in Color iControl you will need to do the following.

1. Import/migrate a Color iControl database into a SQL database. You can import/migrate into an existing
SQL database or create a new SQL database for use with Color iControl. Follow the directions for your
SQL Server for importing or migrating Microsoft Access 2000 databases. This may require the use of
the SQL Enterprise Manager. You can use a new Color iControl database empty of all measurements or
a Color iControl database in use that has measurements. The import will setup the SQL database with
the information Color iControl uses and give you the option to import data as well.
2. Create one or more “users” for that SQL Server database. Or if the database is setup for Windows
authentication add the necessary logins.
3. The SQL client software needs to be installed on the computer that is running Color iControl.
4. Color iControl will detect that SQL client software is installed on the computer and will have a button
on the System Settings page in Color iControl. This setting will need the computer name that has the
SQL server, name of the SQL database to use, a user login and password for access into the SQL
database and check box for 2005 or 2008 database. (Figure 1.)
5. Once the SQL database is setup the name will show up in the drop down list of available databases to
use under system settings and in the job settings general tab. You can choose the SQL database for use
for this job file. (Figure 2) If you would like the database to be the default database set the “Default
Database Name” to <SQL Server> (Figure 3)
