[Snort-users] Compiling with mysql & mssql support

[David.Ryan@Quintiles.com]

Hi All,

I currently have snort compiled with
mysql support and it is logging correctly, but I am looking at changing
the logging to point at a central MS SQL server.  Until I know it
works I don't want to totally ditch the mysql logging.

Is this as 'easy' as recompiling with
'- -with-mssql - -with-mysql', or do I have to compile with one option
only ?

Also, my MSSQL people tell me that our
central infrastructure only supports database connections with the following
constraints -

• the application must be able to run against a database hosted in a Named Instance, not the default SQL Server Instance
• must not require administration privileges to the SQL Server Instance (admin access to the database is OK, not to the server instance)
• we can only support SQL Server 2005 databases on the cluster

Does
anyone know whether the Snort MSSQL support fits in this model ?  I
will start reading now, but I'm up against a bit of time pressure, so if
anyone knows the answers straight off it would be cool.

Thanks,

David
