Big Changes Coming for Lucity SQL Server Databases

by Nicole Schmidt

Get prepared for a nice (but big) change coming for Lucity databases for our SQL Server clients. Historically, Lucity data has been spread across 10 databases (Comm, User, Work, Sewer, Storm, Street, Park, Water, Equip, and Electric). In Lucity 2015r2 (August 2015), a wizard will be provided to combine these databases into a single Lucity database. Data in a single database provides so many advantages for our clients including:

  • Simpler database backup and maintenance plans
  • Easier addition of new Lucity products
  • Better database file management
  • Improved cross database reporting
