Bet him a raise over it... If you remove it and nothing bad happens for
30 days, you get a raise!, otherwise ask him what 'evidence' he has that
Networker Server 'requires' any third party database ???
FYI - Networker is developed and maintained on a Solaris platform, not a
Microsoft platform... So MS-SQL has absolutely nothing to do with
Networker Server other than it's just another 'application' to be backed
up as far as Networker is concerned...
He's probably thinking of Backup-Exec, which does use embedded MS-SQL to
keep track of its backup jobs and other statistics... Whatever the
other software was that depended on the database, it should have removed
that dependent database when it was un-installed...

Subject: [Networker] Does Networker rely on MS SQL for it's database?
I have an odd question. I have MS SQL installed on my Networker server,
and I want to remove it, because I am out of space on my drive. And my
boss is afraid to do so, since he thinks Networker may use MS SQL as
it's
database engine. I believe that it's there for other software that used
to
be installed on that machine. Can someone please verify that this is the
case for me, please, so I can assure him that removing MS SQL won't hurt
Networker, since it doesn't use it as it's database engine?
Thanks
