I just installed StrataFrame 1.5. I skipped installing the sample databases because I already had them, now it looks like I need to install them because you changed the field names in your sample database tables. My concern is that if I re-install the sample databases it will destory my messaging and other settings.



Can I install the new sample database without having to reinstall StrataFrame 1.5?

The sample database must be reloaded because there were a number of changes.  It in no way touches the actual StrataFrame database so it will not cause you any harm.  So go ahead and run the setup again and let the sample databases get installed.

FYI, you can even delete teh StrataFrameSample database from your SQL Server instance without having any troubles with StrataFrame itself.  In fact, if you have a problem with the StrataFrameSample database getting installed, there is a post under the Developer Blog Topics that tells you how to manually delete the StrataFrameSample database before installing the data without hurting you actual development data, which is stored in StrataFrame.
