GoWebsite Upgrading Databases to MS SQL 2012

We're migrating Web & Classic shared hosting customers using MS SQL databases to a newer version MS SQL — 2012. This can impact your account in two ways:

Changing your database's IP address

If you connect to your database through an IP address, which we don't recommend, it will no longer work when your database is moved to MS SQL 2012.

Instead, we recommend using your database's host name, which you can find using Viewing Your Database Details with Shared Hosting Accounts.

Your database's hostname is not changing.

Discontinued MS SQL features

MS SQL no longer supports the following features:

Feature	Category	Replacement
`WITH APPEND` clause on triggers	Database objects	Recreate the trigger without `WITH APPEND`
`FASTFIRSTROW` hint	Query hints	Use `OPTION (FAST)`
`RAISERROR` in the format `RAISERROR integer 'string'`	Transact-SQL	Rewrite the statement using the current `RAISERROR` syntax
`COMPUTE` / `COMPUTE BY`	Transact-SQL syntax	Use `ROLLUP`
`=` and `=`	Transact-SQL syntax	Use ANSI join syntax

Next step

Impacted feature you use	Next step
None	No action necessary
