| Problem: | Upgrade Interbase stand-alone database to Primavera version 5.0 |
| Problem: | Error upgrading database to 5.0: ‘Database PMDB$Primavera exists on server’
|
| Cause: | When upgrading an Interbase database, the upgrade wizard automatically names the new MSDE database PMDB$Primavera. If that database already exists, the upgrade will not be successful. Note: The standalone install of Primavera 5.0 creates the default database PMDB$Primavera. |
| Fix: | Rename the existing PMDB$Primavera database to a new name.
The results should be similar to the picture below.
