Hi,



I'm wondering is there a documentation on the above. Beside this is there any explanation on the tables in Strataframe and Strataframe Internals? Is it a requirement on the client's side there is a need for SQLServerExpress or SQLServer?



Let say we deploy the application to client's site, do we copy backup databases our, Strataframe and StrataFrame Internal? then restore them on the client's site?



How about few months down the road we have another application to be deploy on the same site. We can't simply overwrite the Strataframe and Strataframe Internal, right?



Regards.

The StrataFrame and StrataFrame Internal databases are not used to at runtime.  They are only used by the Database Deployment Toolkit and the Business Object Mapper.  So, when you deploy a StrataFrame application, you only need to deploy the runtime DLLs with your application (which are referenced by your app, and will most likely be pulled in as dependent assemblies in your install). 

As for SQL Server or SQL Server Express, that's entirely up to you.  Since you don't need to deploy our databases onsite, you've got free reign on which version you want to use.
