Tax Balance database
To store application relevant data Tax Balance uses a Microsoft SQL Server database.
Install Tax Balance
Tax Balance requires access to a SQL Server to use for storing relational data. You must create the database ahead of time.
Schema
Tax Balance maintains its own schema - it will update the schema when you start the application server.
Starting Tax Balance without database upgrade
It is possible to skip the database upgrade during the startup process. This is helpful, when the configured database connection is not allowed to make any changes to the schema, because of security restrictions.Â
If the upgrade is skipped, it must be performed manually beforehand. Lookup up command line section for further information.
In general, the following start argument can be used to skip the database upgrade:
AMANA.SmartTaxBalance.Web.Api --skipDatabaseUpgrade
When using IIS

.

Change the value for attribute arguments from .\AMANA.SmartTaxBalance.Web.Api.dll
to .\AMANA.SmartTaxBalance.Web.Api.dll --skipDatabaseMigration
