What is used to determine if the Able Gold db meets the upgrade requirements of v10 or higher?

I'm trying to upgrade a Gold R12SR2 install to AC9 and the upgrade page won't let me proceed. It throws up the "The specified database is not a valid version. This upgrade will only support Ablecommerce Gold R10 (build # 8620) or higer verion databases." message.

The db has many customizations but the vast majority are in new tables.

Code:

// check for AC Gold R12 database
sql = "SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'ac_RestockNotify'";
                   
// check for AC Gold R11 database                    
sql = "SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'ac_LabelImages'";
                                          
// check for AC Gold R10 database                    
sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) AS NumRows FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'ac_Products' AND COLUMN_NAME = 'TIC'";


These are the checks we had in our code to determine the database version. You can also review the ValidateExistingDatabase() function code in the file.

Thanks for the quick reply. You helped me trace down the problem to a permissions issue in the SQL database.

The SQL account could access the db, so the install didn't throw an initial connection error. But the SQL user did not have db_owner rights, so the login couldn't see any tables in the database itself.

Might be worth a quick SQL count of tables found in the database after initial authentication is tested and 'upgrade' was selected. Without any tables visible to the app using the credentials provided, there's no point in proceeding and a useful error could save folks a whole lot of time.
