Hi,

When install BES with MDS, a SQL database is created to store all the data.
As example, there is tables like “UserConfig” and there stores all the details.

To capture BB related more information I need to create new tables and store data.
For that can I use the same database with adding extra tables to it?
Is it harm to BES database?

Or else do I have create a new Database in SQL server?

Because one of my friend told me to “Don’t touch the BES related SQL Database”

The only thing you could do is simple queries.

You could create a view...

can i add extra tables to it?

Just try it and see if it breaks anything. When something is working, there's really no point in messing with it, especially if you didn't design it. As qc_metal suggested, why not just create a view, or why not just write script that can capture the data you want through another means rather than storage of it in that database, or why not just create a smaller database instance and have it write the information there?

Back it up first if you try this. I still stand by my original statement

I wouldn't add extra tables or views. Service packs introduce schema tweaks and changes to the database, you don't want your tweaks to introduce a problem or conflict

Create a new db on the same server if you want to store extra data.

You don't want to put yourself in an unsupported configuration if something goes wrong. Running Selects are safe, dont modify data.
