Before creating a report server database on a SQL Server Database Engine instance that has been upgraded from SQL Server 7.0, you must run a stored procedure to set the compatibility level. Setting the compatibility is necessary to avoid the following exception: "Incorrect syntax near 'COLLATE'. You may need to set the compatibility level of the current database to a higher value to enable this feature."
This error occurs when you try to create a report server database on a SQL Server instance that has been upgraded from version 7.0.
To set the compatibility level on an upgraded database
-
Run exec sp_dbcmptlevel on the master database. For more information, see sp_dbcmptlevel (Transact-SQL).
-
Start the Reporting Services Configuration tool and connect to the report server instance you want to configure.
-
In Database setup, connect to the SQL Server Database Engine instance for which you ran the stored procedure.
-
Click New to create the database.
-
Specify the database name and the account used to create the database, and then click OK.
-
Specify credentials for the report server database connection. For more information, see Configuring a Report Server Database Connection.
