Database Naming Restrictions
Do not use a name that you will need for a user of that Multi-Media database or
Administrator (which is the name of the default user in any Multi-Media database) as a
database name. A Multi-Media database with the same name as a user account causes an
error when View is started.
Asking your SQL Database Administrator for Help
An Admin user may find it useful to ask a SQL server database administrator for help when
creating a SQL server compatible Multi-Media database. The SQL server may have been
configured using customized folder names. This can hamper creating an empty
Multi-Media database remotely, without the help of the database administrator. Admin can
even be installed on the database administrator's PC.
Security Option
By default, Multi-Media software connects to a SQL server using the sa login, with no
password. To add security, your SQL administrator can setup a SQL login just for Admin
users. See
Multi-Media Database Security
Intended Users
Of the two procedures in this section,

administrator.
Security Considerations
On some installations, the Multi-Media database may need to be protected from copy and
deletion (see
Multi-Media Database Security
This procedure is for a SQL database administrator, not an Admin user.
1. Copy the following two files to the SQL server database folder:
• REMTemplateV3-1.mdf
• REMTemplateV3-1.ldf
2. The default SQL folder name and path is: C:\MSSQL7\Data\. The number in the file
name is not related to the version of the software or hardware used. Rename the files
to a name of your choice, for the Multi-Media database, such as Multi.mdf and
Multi.ldf. Renaming is necessary to not restrict use of the template files, in order to
create another Multi-Media database at some future time.
