OD 13.3 database setup

[Bogdan]

Hi

I have just started to use OD, by compiling the version from trunk. At execution however, the existing database, created with the trial version of OD, cannot be accessed. I have deleted the database and I am wondering what is the easiest procedure to setup a new database for the latest OD version. This might be also useful for custom setups.

Also,it seems to me that OD 13.3 cannot be compiled in Release mode (one Build fails), while Debug mode works.

Which build fails?

OpenDental build fails with the error: error : Mixed mode assembly is built against version 'v1.1.4322' of the runtime and cannot be loaded in the 4.0 runtime without additional configuration information.

OD 13.3 builds OK in debug and release for me...
...have you seen the information on the Mixed Mode Assembly error here: http://www.opendental.com/manual/sourcecode.html?

Should add that I'm a new OpenDental user too

ok, thanks, how about the database creation ?

Did you run the Trial Version and successfully access the demo database before compiling the code and having problems? Might be worth trying that first if not?

After verifying that the Trial Version worked ok with the demo database what I did was:
1. Stopped the MySQL service
2. Copied the demo database and saved as "demoOriginal"
3. Restarted the MySQL service
4. Built the code and ran it - chose the demo database again and saw that it upgraded successfully
If I ever run in to problems and want to start with a fresh database I just copy and rename the demoOriginal database
...but this is not an official OD procedure and you obviously wouldn't do this with live data...it's just something that worked for me!

I have been able to backup OD database from MySQL Workbench as an sql dump file. Now I am able to create my own OD database from scratch.

The sources from trunk, v 13.3, still don't compile in Release mode with VS 2010, however everything works fine in VS2012 (not all projects are converted, but OD exe is generated)
