Update to 4.2.1 on Azure with MS SQL Server

  • Ran the auto upgrade, all appeared to work fine. Site is up and running. When I go to the admin panel, I get the ‘Update WordPress Database’ button. Never completes the update.
    I assume the SQL doing the update is designed for MySQL and isn’t being translated correctly to MS SQL.
    Anyone managed to get past this point?

  • I gave up on trying to hack stuff, that’s why I moved de everything back to MySQL.
    I have to admit it all “just works”

    Hey R Skoon:
    I initially missed the key phrase “…in 2 places…” in your hack first time around. Also, not sure that it matters, but I set up a Linked Resource pointing to the SQL Azure DB in the Azure Site Configuration, along with a Connection String.

    I’m now able to get past the Upgrade Database dialog and log in with my credentials. I have restored the site but now must add all the plugins and port some data over from MySQL to Azure. Shouldn’t be too hard for an old database guy like me.

    Thanks!
