EA 9.3 database upgrade

[fausto bertoli]

We have an EA 8.2 database on SQL Server.
Now we want to upgrade the tool up to the latest 9.3 release.
Can we access the existing database or we need to upgrade its structure to the new one?

Yes, no need to upgrade the structure

You only need to upgrade if your repository was created with a script downloaded prior to 10 Feb 2010.

Also listed with each DBMS are update scripts, designed to improve performance on model repositories which were created using scripts downloaded prior to February 10, 2010. The update scripts add indexes to the database schema.

There is no change of structure, just additional indexes.
