&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each version of Bentley Substation has its own corresponding project database schema, identified by a version number. The version number of the database is stored as an extended property of the Project table in SQL Server databases and as a comment on the Project table for Oracle databases.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When connecting to the project database, if the &amp;quot;Version&amp;quot; property/comment of the database does not match what Substation expects or cannot be retrieved for some reason, a [[Error - Database version does not match the application|Database version does not match the application]] message will appear.&amp;nbsp; Generally this means that either the Substation application or the database schema needs to be updated, whichever is older.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Database version numbers can also be revealed in a prompt when restoring a project from a different version of Substation.&amp;nbsp; In this case, when the current project database version is newer than the database version for the backup listed in the message, the message is purely informational and no action is necessary.&amp;nbsp; If the database version of the backup is newer than the application, the backup cannot be restored and the message typically indicates this ([[Error - Unable to restore project, project's database version is newer|Unable to restore project because the project's database version is newer than your current database version]]).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The purpose of this document is to help determine the proper course of action, if any is necessary.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Version Chart&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;

&lt;td&gt;08.11.07.158&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;8.0.51&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Determining the application version&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The installed version of Bentley Substation (Application Version in the chart) can be found on the&lt;em&gt; [[About Bentley Substation]] &lt;/em&gt;dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Determining the database version&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The current database version can be determined by connecting to the SQL Server using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and checking the extended properties of the Project table in the database used by Substation.&amp;nbsp; In SSMS, expand &lt;strong&gt;Object Explorer &amp;gt; Databases &amp;gt; Substation* &amp;gt; Tables&lt;/strong&gt;, right click dbo.Project, and select &lt;strong&gt;Properties &amp;gt; Extended Properties&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, executing the following query will also return the database version.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;use&lt;/span&gt; Substation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;SELECT&lt;/span&gt; * &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;FROM&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;fn_listextendedproperty&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;Version&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;user&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;dbo&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;table&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;project&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Replace &amp;quot;Substation&amp;quot; in the above query with the name of the database is not &amp;quot;Substation&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Additional Notes&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;SS&amp;quot; in the above chart stands for SELECTseries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The version of the database that will be created by a script file can typically be found as a comment near the beginning of the script.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;span style="color:#008000;font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;--$DBVersion:8.1.33$--&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Similarly, an update script will list the version to which the script will update the database.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SQL Server and database used by Bentley Substation can be determined by looking in the &lt;strong&gt;Project Database&lt;/strong&gt; area of the Substation [[Setup]]&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;[[Error - Unable to restore project, project's database version is newer]]&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Determining the application version&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The installed version of Bentley Substation (Application Version in the chart) can be found on the&lt;em&gt; [[About Bentley Substation]] &lt;/em&gt;dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Determining the database version&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The current database version can be determined by connecting to the SQL Server using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and checking the extended properties of the Project table in the database used by Substation.&amp;nbsp; In SSMS, expand &lt;strong&gt;Object Explorer &amp;gt; Databases &amp;gt; Substation* &amp;gt; Tables&lt;/strong&gt;, right click dbo.Project, and select &lt;strong&gt;Properties &amp;gt; Extended Properties&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, executing the following query will also return the database version.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;use&lt;/span&gt; Substation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;SELECT&lt;/span&gt; * &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;FROM&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;fn_listextendedproperty&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;Version&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;user&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;dbo&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;table&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;project&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Replace &amp;quot;Substation&amp;quot; in the above query with the name of the database is not &amp;quot;Substation&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Additional Notes&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;SS&amp;quot; in the above chart stands for SELECTseries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The version of the database that will be created by a script file can typically be found as a comment near the beginning of the script.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;span style="color:#008000;font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;--$DBVersion:8.1.33$--&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Similarly, an update script will list the version to which the script will update the database.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SQL Server and database used by Bentley Substation can be determined by looking in the &lt;strong&gt;Project Database&lt;/strong&gt; area of the Substation [[Setup]]&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;dialog.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each version of Bentley Substation has its own corresponding project database schema, identified by a version number. The version number of the database is stored as an extended property of the Project table in SQL Server databases and as a comment on the Project table for Oracle databases.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When connecting to the project database, if the &amp;quot;Version&amp;quot; property/comment of the database does not match what Substation expects or cannot be retrieved for some reason, a [[Error - Database version does not match the application|Database version does not match the application]] message will appear.&amp;nbsp; Generally this means that either the Substation application or the database schema needs to be updated, whichever is older.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Database version numbers can also be revealed in a prompt when restoring a project from a different version of Substation.&amp;nbsp; In this case, when the current project database version is newer than the database version for the backup listed in the message, the message is purely informational and no action is necessary.&amp;nbsp; If the database version of the backup is newer than the application, the backup cannot be restored and the message typically indicates this ([[Error - Unable to restore project, project's database version is newer|Unable to restore project because the project's database version is newer than your current database version]]).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The purpose of this document is to help determine the proper course of action, if any is necessary.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Version Chart&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This chart applies to SELECT releases of Bentley Substation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each version of Bentley Substation has its own corresponding project database schema, identified by a version number. The version number of the database is stored as an extended property of the Project table in SQL Server databases and as a comment on the Project table for Oracle databases.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When connecting to the project database, if the &amp;quot;Version&amp;quot; property/comment of the database does not match what Substation expects or cannot be retrieved for some reason, a [[Error - Database version does not match the application|Database version does not match the application]] message will appear.&amp;nbsp; Generally this means that either the Substation application or the database schema needs to be updated, whichever is older.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Database version numbers can also be revealed in a prompt when restoring a project from a different version of Substation.&amp;nbsp; In this case, when the current project database version is newer than the database version for the backup listed in the message, the message is purely informational and no action is necessary.&amp;nbsp; If the database version of the backup is newer than the application, the backup cannot be restored and the message typically indicates this ([[Error - Unable to restore project, project's database version is newer|Unable to restore project because the project's database version is newer than your current database version]]).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The purpose of this document is to help determine the proper course of action, if any is necessary.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;td&gt;8.0.51&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Determining the application version&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The installed version of Bentley Substation (Application Version in the chart) can be found on the&lt;em&gt; [[About Bentley Substation]] &lt;/em&gt;dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Determining the database version&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The current database version can be determined by connecting to the SQL Server using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and checking the extended properties of the Project table in the database used by Substation.&amp;nbsp; In SSMS, expand &lt;strong&gt;Object Explorer &amp;gt; Databases &amp;gt; Substation* &amp;gt; Tables&lt;/strong&gt;, right click dbo.Project, and select &lt;strong&gt;Properties &amp;gt; Extended Properties&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, executing the following query will also return the database version.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;use&lt;/span&gt; Substation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;SELECT&lt;/span&gt; * &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;FROM&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;fn_listextendedproperty&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;Version&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;user&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;dbo&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;table&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;project&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Replace &amp;quot;Substation&amp;quot; in the above query with the name of the database is not &amp;quot;Substation&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Additional Notes&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;SS&amp;quot; in the above chart stands for SELECTseries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The version of the database that will be created by a script file can typically be found as a comment near the beginning of the script.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;span style="color:#008000;font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;--$DBVersion:8.1.33$--&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Similarly, an update script will list the version to which the script will update the database.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SQL Server and database used by Bentley Substation can be determined by looking in the &lt;strong&gt;Project Database&lt;/strong&gt; area of the Substation [[Setup]]&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Each version of Bentley Substation has its own corresponding project database schema, identified by a version number. The version number of the database is stored as an extended property of the Project table in SQL Server databases and as a comment on the Project table for Oracle databases.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When connecting to the project database, if the &amp;quot;Version&amp;quot; property/comment of the database does not match what Substation expects or cannot be retrieved for some reason, a [[Error - Database version does not match the application|Database version does not match the application]] message will appear.&amp;nbsp; Generally this means that either the Substation application or the database schema needs to be updated, whichever is older.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Database version numbers can also be revealed in a prompt when restoring a project from a different version of Substation.&amp;nbsp; In this case, when the current project database version is newer than the database version for the backup listed in the message, the message is purely informational and no action is necessary.&amp;nbsp; If the database version of the backup is newer than the application, the backup cannot be restored and the message typically indicates this ([[Error - Unable to restore project, project's database version is newer|Unable to restore project because the project's database version is newer than your current database version]]).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The version of the database that will be created by a script file can typically be found as a comment near the beginning of the script.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;span style="color:#008000;font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;--$DBVersion:8.1.33$--&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Similarly, an update script will list the version to which the script will update the database.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SQL Server and database used by Bentley Substation can be determined by looking in the &lt;strong&gt;Project Database&lt;/strong&gt; area of the Substation [[Setup]]&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;dialog.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each version of Bentley Substation has its own corresponding project database schema, identified by a version number. The version number of the database is stored as an extended property of the Project table in SQL Server databases and as a comment on the Project table for Oracle databases.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When connecting to the project database, if the &amp;quot;Version&amp;quot; property/comment of the database does not match what Substation expects or cannot be retrieved for some reason, a [[Error - Database version does not match the application|Database version does not match the application]] message will appear.&amp;nbsp; Generally this means that either the Substation application or the database schema needs to be updated, whichever is older.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Database version numbers can also be revealed in a prompt when restoring a project from a different version of Substation.&amp;nbsp; In this case, when the current project database version is newer than the database version for the backup listed in the message, the message is purely informational and no action is necessary.&amp;nbsp; If the database version of the backup is newer than the application, the backup cannot be restored and the message typically indicates this ([[Error - Unable to restore project, project's database version is newer|Unable to restore project because the project's database version is newer than your current database version]]).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The purpose of this document is to help determine the proper course of action, if any is necessary.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Bentley Substation V8i SS2&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;08.11.07.158&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;8.0.51&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Determining the application version&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The installed version of Bentley Substation (Application Version in the chart) can be found on the&lt;em&gt; [[About Bentley Substation]] &lt;/em&gt;dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Determining the database version&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The current database version can be determined by connecting to the SQL Server using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and checking the extended properties of the Project table in the database used by Substation.&amp;nbsp; In SSMS, expand &lt;strong&gt;Object Explorer &amp;gt; Databases &amp;gt; Substation* &amp;gt; Tables&lt;/strong&gt;, right click dbo.Project, and select &lt;strong&gt;Properties &amp;gt; Extended Properties&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, executing the following query will also return the database version.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;use&lt;/span&gt; Substation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;SELECT&lt;/span&gt; * &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;FROM&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;fn_listextendedproperty&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;Version&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;user&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;dbo&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;table&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;project&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Replace &amp;quot;Substation&amp;quot; in the above query with the name of the database is not &amp;quot;Substation&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Additional Notes&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;SS&amp;quot; in the above chart stands for SELECTseries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The version of the database that will be created by a script file can typically be found as a comment near the beginning of the script.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;span style="color:#008000;font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;--$DBVersion:8.1.33$--&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Similarly, an update script will list the version to which the script will update the database.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SQL Server and database used by Bentley Substation can be determined by looking in the &lt;strong&gt;Project Database&lt;/strong&gt; area of the Substation [[Setup]]&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;dialog.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;td&gt;8.0.51&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Determining the application version&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The installed version of Bentley Substation (Application Version in the chart) can be found on the&lt;em&gt; [[About Bentley Substation]] &lt;/em&gt;dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Determining the database version&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The current database version can be determined by connecting to the SQL Server using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and checking the extended properties of the Project table in the database used by Substation.&amp;nbsp; In SSMS, expand &lt;strong&gt;Object Explorer &amp;gt; Databases &amp;gt; Substation* &amp;gt; Tables&lt;/strong&gt;, right click dbo.Project, and select &lt;strong&gt;Properties &amp;gt; Extended Properties&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, executing the following query will also return the database version.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;use&lt;/span&gt; Substation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;SELECT&lt;/span&gt; * &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;FROM&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;fn_listextendedproperty&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;Version&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;user&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;dbo&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;table&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;project&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Replace &amp;quot;Substation&amp;quot; in the above query with the name of the database is not &amp;quot;Substation&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Additional Notes&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;SS&amp;quot; in the above chart stands for SELECTseries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The version of the database that will be created by a script file can typically be found as a comment near the beginning of the script.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;span style="color:#008000;font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;--$DBVersion:8.1.33$--&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Similarly, an update script will list the version to which the script will update the database.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SQL Server and database used by Bentley Substation can be determined by looking in the &lt;strong&gt;Project Database&lt;/strong&gt; area of the Substation [[Setup]]&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each version of Bentley Substation has its own corresponding project database schema, identified by a version number. The version number of the database is stored as an extended property of the Project table in SQL Server databases and as a comment on the Project table for Oracle databases.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When connecting to the project database, if the &amp;quot;Version&amp;quot; property/comment of the database does not match what Substation expects or cannot be retrieved for some reason, a [[Error - Database version does not match the application|Database version does not match the application]] message will appear.&amp;nbsp; Generally this means that either the Substation application or the database schema needs to be updated, whichever is older.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Database version numbers can also be revealed in a prompt when restoring a project from a different version of Substation.&amp;nbsp; In this case, when the current project database version is newer than the database version for the backup listed in the message, the message is purely informational and no action is necessary.&amp;nbsp; If the database version of the backup is newer than the application, the backup cannot be restored and the message typically indicates this ([[Error - Unable to restore project, project's database version is newer|Unable to restore project because the project's database version is newer than your current database version]]).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The purpose of this document is to help determine the proper course of action, if any is necessary.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;Determining the application version&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The installed version of Bentley Substation (Application Version in the chart) can be found on the &lt;em&gt;About Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/em&gt; dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Determining the database version&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Replace &amp;quot;Substation&amp;quot; in the above query with the name of the database is not &amp;quot;Substation&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each version of Bentley Substation has its own corresponding project database schema, identified by a version number. The version number of the database is stored as an extended property of the Project table in SQL Server databases and as a comment on the Project table for Oracle databases.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When connecting to the project database, if the &amp;quot;Version&amp;quot; property/comment of the database does not match what Substation expects or cannot be retrieved for some reason, a [[Error - Database version does not match the application|Database version does not match the application]] message will appear.&amp;nbsp; Generally this means that either the Substation application or the database schema needs to be updated, whichever is older.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Database version numbers can also be revealed in a prompt when restoring a project from a different version of Substation.&amp;nbsp; In this case, when the current project database version is newer than the database version for the backup listed in the message, the message is purely informational and no action is necessary.&amp;nbsp; If the database version of the backup is newer than the application, the backup cannot be restored and the message typically indicates this ([[Error - Unable to restore project, project&amp;#39;s database version is newer|Unable to restore project because the project&amp;#39;s database version is newer than your current database version]]).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The purpose of this document is to help determine the proper course of action, if any is necessary.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Version Chart&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This chart applies to SELECT releases of Bentley Substation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Each version of Bentley Substation has its own corresponding project database schema, identified by a version number. The version number of the database is stored as an extended property of the Project table in SQL Server databases and as a comment on the Project table for Oracle databases.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When connecting to the project database, if the &amp;quot;Version&amp;quot; property/comment of the database does not match what Substation expects or cannot be retrieved for some reason, a [[Error - Database version does not match the application|Database version does not match the application]] message will appear.&amp;nbsp; Generally this means that either the Substation application or the database schema needs to be updated, whichever is older.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Database version numbers can also be revealed in a prompt when restoring a project from a different version of Substation.&amp;nbsp; In this case, when the current project database version is newer than the database version for the backup listed in the message, the message is purely informational and no action is necessary.&amp;nbsp; If the database version of the backup is newer than the application, the backup cannot be restored and the message typically indicates this ([[Error - Unable to restore project, project&amp;#39;s database version is newer|Unable to restore project because the project&amp;#39;s database version is newer than your current database version]]).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The purpose of this document is to help determine the proper course of action, if any is necessary.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Determining the application version&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The installed version of Bentley Substation (Application Version in the chart) can be found on the &lt;em&gt;About Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/em&gt; dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Determining the database version&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The current database version can be determined by connecting to the SQL Server using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and checking the extended properties of the Project table in the database used by Substation.&amp;nbsp; In SSMS, expand &lt;strong&gt;Object Explorer &amp;gt; Databases &amp;gt; Substation* &amp;gt; Tables&lt;/strong&gt;, right click dbo.Project, and select &lt;strong&gt;Properties &amp;gt; Extended Properties&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, executing the following query will also return the database version.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;use&lt;/span&gt; Substation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;SELECT&lt;/span&gt; * &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;FROM&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;fn_listextendedproperty&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;Version&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;user&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;dbo&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;table&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;project&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Replace &amp;quot;Substation&amp;quot; in the above query with the name of the database is not &amp;quot;Substation&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Additional Notes&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;SS&amp;quot; in the above chart stands for SELECTseries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The version of the database that will be created by a script file can typically be found as a comment near the beginning of the script.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;color:#008000;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;--$DBVersion:8.1.33$--&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Similarly, an update script will list the version to which the script will update the database.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each version of Bentley Substation has its own corresponding project database schema, identified by a version number. The version number of the database is stored as an extended property of the Project table in SQL Server databases and as a comment on the Project table for Oracle databases.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When connecting to the project database, if the &amp;quot;Version&amp;quot; property/comment of the database does not match what Substation expects or cannot be retrieved for some reason, a [[Error - Database version does not match the application|Database version does not match the application]] message will appear.&amp;nbsp; Generally this means that either the Substation application or the database schema needs to be updated, whichever is older.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Database version numbers can also be revealed in a prompt when restoring a project from a different version of Substation.&amp;nbsp; In this case, when the current project database version is newer than the database version for the backup listed in the message, the message is purely informational and no action is necessary.&amp;nbsp; If the database version of the backup is newer than the application, the backup cannot be restored and the message typically indicates this ([[Error - Unable to restore project, project&amp;#39;s database version is newer|Unable to restore project because the project&amp;#39;s database version is newer than your current database version]]).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The purpose of this document is to help determine the proper course of action, if any is necessary.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Version Chart&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;td&gt;8.0.51&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Determining the application version&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The installed version of Bentley Substation (Application Version in the chart) can be found on the &lt;em&gt;About Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/em&gt; dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Determining the database version&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The current database version can be determined by connecting to the SQL Server using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and checking the extended properties of the Project table in the database used by Substation.&amp;nbsp; In SSMS, expand &lt;strong&gt;Object Explorer &amp;gt; Databases &amp;gt; Substation* &amp;gt; Tables&lt;/strong&gt;, right click dbo.Project, and select &lt;strong&gt;Properties &amp;gt; Extended Properties&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, executing the following query will also return the database version.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;use&lt;/span&gt; Substation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;SELECT&lt;/span&gt; * &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;FROM&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;fn_listextendedproperty&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;Version&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;user&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;dbo&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;table&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;project&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Replace &amp;quot;Substation&amp;quot; in the above query with the name of the database if different.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Additional Notes&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;SS&amp;quot; in the above chart stands for SELECTseries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The version of the database that will be created by a script file can typically be found as a comment near the beginning of the script.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;color:#008000;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;--$DBVersion:8.1.14$--&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Similarly, an update script will list the version to which the script will update the database.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SQL Server and database used by Bentley Substation can be determined by looking in the &lt;strong&gt;Project Database&lt;/strong&gt; area of the Substation [[Setup]]&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Determining the application version&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The installed version of Bentley Substation (Application Version in the chart) can be found on the &lt;em&gt;About Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/em&gt; dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Determining the database version&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The current database version can be determined by connecting to the SQL Server using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and checking the extended properties of the Project table in the database used by Substation.&amp;nbsp; In SSMS, expand &lt;strong&gt;Object Explorer &amp;gt; Databases &amp;gt; Substation* &amp;gt; Tables&lt;/strong&gt;, right click dbo.Project, and select &lt;strong&gt;Properties &amp;gt; Extended Properties&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, executing the following query will also return the database version.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;use&lt;/span&gt; Substation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;SELECT&lt;/span&gt; * &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;FROM&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;fn_listextendedproperty&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;Version&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;user&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;dbo&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;table&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;project&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Replace &amp;quot;Substation&amp;quot; in the above query with the name of the database if different.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Additional Notes&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;SS&amp;quot; in the above chart stands for SELECTseries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The version of the database that will be created by a script file can typically be found as a comment near the beginning of the script.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;color:#008000;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;--$DBVersion:8.1.14$--&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Similarly, an update script will list the version to which the script will update the database.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SQL Server and database used by Bentley Substation can be determined by looking in the &lt;strong&gt;Project Database&lt;/strong&gt; area of the Substation [[Setup]]&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each version of Bentley Substation has its own corresponding project database schema, identified by a version number. The version number of the database is stored as an extended property of the Project table in SQL Server databases and as a comment on the Project table for Oracle databases.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When connecting to the project database, if the &amp;quot;Version&amp;quot; property/comment of the database does not match what Substation expects or cannot be retrieved for some reason, a [[Error - Database version does not match the application|Database version does not match the application]] message will appear.&amp;nbsp; Generally this means that either the Substation application or the database schema needs to be updated, whichever is older.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Database version numbers can also be revealed in a prompt when restoring a project from a different version of Substation.&amp;nbsp; In this case, when the current project database version is newer than the database version for the backup listed in the message, the message is purely informational and no action is necessary.&amp;nbsp; If the database version of the backup is newer than the application, the backup cannot be restored and the message typically indicates this ([[Error - Unable to restore project, project&amp;#39;s database version is newer|Unable to restore project because the project&amp;#39;s database version is newer than your current database version]]).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The purpose of this document is to help determine the proper course of action, if any is necessary.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Version Chart&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This chart applies to SELECT releases of Bentley Substation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;table style="width:100%;" border="1"&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Application&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Application Version&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Database Version&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Bentley Substation V8i SS3&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;08.11.08.18&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;8.0.56&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Bentley Substation V8i SS2&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;08.11.07.158&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;8.0.51&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Determining the application version&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The installed version of Bentley Substation (Application Version in the chart) can be found on the &lt;em&gt;About Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/em&gt; dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Determining the database version&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The current database version can be determined by connecting to the SQL Server using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and checking the extended properties of the Project table in the database used by Substation.&amp;nbsp; In SSMS, expand &lt;strong&gt;Object Explorer &amp;gt; Databases &amp;gt; Substation* &amp;gt; Tables&lt;/strong&gt;, right click dbo.Project, and select &lt;strong&gt;Properties &amp;gt; Extended Properties&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, executing the following query will also return the database version.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;use&lt;/span&gt; Substation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;SELECT&lt;/span&gt; * &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;FROM&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;fn_listextendedproperty&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;Version&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;user&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;dbo&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;table&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;project&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Replace &amp;quot;Substation&amp;quot; in the above query with the name of the database if different.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Additional Notes&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;SS&amp;quot; in the above chart stands for SELECTseries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The version of the database that will be created by a script file can typically be found as a comment near the beginning of the script.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;color:#008000;"&gt; --$DBVersion:8.1.10$--&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Similarly, an update script will list the version to which the script will update the database.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SQL Server and database used by Bentley Substation can be determined by looking in the Project Database area of the Substation [[Setup]]&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each version of Bentley Substation has its own corresponding project database schema, identified by a version number. The version number of the database is stored as an extended property of the Project table in SQL Server databases and as a comment on the Project table for Oracle databases.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When connecting to the project database, if the &amp;quot;Version&amp;quot; property/comment of the database does not match what Substation expects or cannot be retrieved for some reason, a [[Error - Database version does not match the application|Database version does not match the application]] message will appear.&amp;nbsp; Generally this means that either the Substation application or the database schema needs to be updated, whichever is older.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Database version numbers can also be revealed in a prompt when restoring a project from a different version of Substation.&amp;nbsp; In this case, when the current project database version is newer than the database version for the backup listed in the message, the message is purely informational and no action is necessary.&amp;nbsp; If the database version of the backup is newer than the application, the backup cannot be restored and the message typically indicates this ([[Error - Unable to restore project, project&amp;#39;s database version is newer|Unable to restore project because the project&amp;#39;s database version is newer than your current database version]]).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The installed version of Bentley Substation (Application Version in the chart) can be found on the &lt;em&gt;About Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/em&gt; dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Determining the database version&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The current database version can be determined by connecting to the SQL Server using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and checking the extended properties of the Project table in the database used by Substation.&amp;nbsp; In SSMS, expand &lt;strong&gt;Object Explorer &amp;gt; Databases &amp;gt; Substation* &amp;gt; Tables&lt;/strong&gt;, right click dbo.Project, and select &lt;strong&gt;Properties &amp;gt; Extended Properties&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, executing the following query will also return the database version.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;use&lt;/span&gt; Substation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;SELECT&lt;/span&gt; * &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;FROM&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;fn_listextendedproperty&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;Version&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;user&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;dbo&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;table&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;project&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Replace &amp;quot;Substation&amp;quot; in the above query with the name of the database if different.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Additional Notes&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;SS&amp;quot; in the above chart stands for SELECTseries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The version of the database that will be created by a script file can typically be found as a comment near the beginning of the script.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;color:#008000;"&gt; --$DBVersion:8.1.10$--&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Similarly, an update script will list the version to which the script will update the database.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SQL Server and database used by Bentley Substation can be determined by looking in the Project Database area of the Substation [[Setup]]&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;See Also&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[[Creating and Updating the Project Database]]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[[Error - Database version does not match the application]]&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Database version numbers can also be revealed in a prompt when restoring a project from a different version of Substation.&amp;nbsp; In this case, when the current project database version is newer than the database version for the backup listed in the message, the message is purely informational and no action is necessary.&amp;nbsp; If the database version of the backup is newer than the application, the backup cannot be restored and the message typically indicates this ([[Error - Unable to restore project, project&amp;#39;s database version is newer|Unable to restore project because the project&amp;#39;s database version is newer than your current database version]]).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Determining the application version&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The installed version of Bentley Substation (Application Version in the chart) can be found on the &lt;em&gt;About Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/em&gt; dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Determining the database version&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The current database version can be determined by connecting to the SQL Server using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and checking the extended properties of the Project table in the database used by Substation.&amp;nbsp; In SSMS, expand &lt;strong&gt;Object Explorer &amp;gt; Databases &amp;gt; Substation* &amp;gt; Tables&lt;/strong&gt;, right click dbo.Project, and select &lt;strong&gt;Properties &amp;gt; Extended Properties&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, executing the following query will also return the database version.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;use&lt;/span&gt; Substation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;SELECT&lt;/span&gt; * &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;FROM&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;fn_listextendedproperty&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;Version&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;user&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;dbo&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;table&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;project&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Replace &amp;quot;Substation&amp;quot; in the above query with the name of the database if different.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Additional Notes&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;SS&amp;quot; in the above chart stands for SELECTseries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The version of the database that will be created by a script file can typically be found as a comment near the beginning of the script.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;color:#008000;"&gt; --$DBVersion:8.1.10$--&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; Similarly, an update script will list the version to which the script will update the database.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SQL Server and database used by Bentley Substation can be determined by looking in the Project Database area of the Substation [[Setup]]&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;dialog.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each version of Bentley Substation has its own corresponding project database schema, identified by a version number. The version number of the database is stored as an extended property of the Project table in SQL Server databases and as a comment on the Project table for Oracle databases.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When connecting to the project database, if the &amp;quot;Version&amp;quot; property/comment of the database does not match what Substation expects or cannot be retrieved for some reason, a &amp;quot;Database version does not match the application&amp;quot; message will appear.&amp;nbsp; Generally this means that either the Substation application or the database schema needs to be updated, whichever is older.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Database version numbers can also be revealed in a prompt when restoring a project from a different version of Substation.&amp;nbsp; In this case, when the current project database version is newer than the database version for the backup listed in the message, the message is purely informational and no action is necessary.&amp;nbsp; If the database version of the backup is newer than the application, the backup cannot be restored and the message typically indicates this (&amp;quot;Unable to restore project because the project&amp;#39;s database version is newer than your current database version&amp;quot;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The purpose of this document is to help determine the proper course of action, if any is necessary.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each version of Bentley Substation has its own corresponding project database schema, identified by a version number. The version number of the database is stored as an extended property of the Project table in SQL Server databases and as a comment on the Project table for Oracle databases.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When connecting to the project database, if the &amp;quot;Version&amp;quot; property/comment of the database does not match what Substation expects or cannot be retrieved for some reason, a &amp;quot;Database version does not match the application&amp;quot; message will appear.&amp;nbsp; Generally this means that either the Substation application or the database schema needs to be updated, whichever is older.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Database version numbers can also be revealed in a prompt when restoring a project from a different version of Substation.&amp;nbsp; In this case, when the current project database version is newer than the database version for the backup listed in the message, the message is purely informational and no action is necessary.&amp;nbsp; If the database version of the backup is newer than the application, the backup cannot be restored and the message typically indicates this (&amp;quot;Unable to restore project because the project&amp;#39;s database version is newer than your current database version&amp;quot;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The purpose of this document is to help determine the proper course of action, if any is necessary.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Determining the application version&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The installed version of Bentley Substation (Application Version in the chart) can be found on the &lt;em&gt;About Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/em&gt; dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Determining the database version&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The current database version can be determined by connecting to the SQL Server using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and checking the extended properties of the Project table in the database used by Substation.&amp;nbsp; In SSMS, expand &lt;strong&gt;Object Explorer &amp;gt; Databases &amp;gt; Substation* &amp;gt; Tables&lt;/strong&gt;, right click dbo.Project, and select &lt;strong&gt;Properties &amp;gt; Extended Properties&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, executing the following query will also return the database version.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;use&lt;/span&gt; Substation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;SELECT&lt;/span&gt; * &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;FROM&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;fn_listextendedproperty&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;Version&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;user&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;dbo&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;table&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&amp;#39;project&amp;#39;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;default&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Replace &amp;quot;Substation&amp;quot; in the above query with the name of the database if different.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Additional Notes&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;SS&amp;quot; in the above chart stands for SELECTseries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The version of the database that will be created by a script file can typically be found as a comment near the beginning of the script.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;color:#008000;"&gt; --$DBVersion:8.1.06$--&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; Similarly, an update script will list the version to which the script will update the database.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SQL Server and database used by Bentley Substation can be determined by looking in the Project Database area of the Substation &lt;em&gt;Setup &lt;/em&gt;dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
