Microsoft SQLServer DB migration fails when upgrading SonarQube DE from 9.9.0 LTS to 10.4.1

Hi,

I’m facing a DB migration error when upgrading SonarQube Developer Edition from 9.9.0.65466 to 10.4.1.88267.
As far as i understand the upgrade path examples I should be able to directly upgade from 9.9 LTS to > 10.1+?

Hey there

Could a rogue DBA have added this index? You might want to manually drop it from the database, and see if the upgrade proceeds.

Normally, no alterations should be made to the database (like adding an index) outside of the upgrade process.

Hi Collin,

we deleted the index, and the colomn got dropped successfully.
Why did this happen to the database, as far as I know we’ve done no manual modifications.

Yet we try and error the upgrade by removing the “blocking” index iteratively.

org.sonar.server.platform.db.migration.step.MigrationStepExecutionException: Execution of migration step #100002 'Drop column 'module_uuid' in the 'Components' table' failed
...
Caused by: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The index 'IX_components__branch_uuid' is dependent on column 'module_uuid'.
org.sonar.server.platform.db.migration.step.MigrationStepExecutionException: Execution of migration step #102024 'Drop 'purge_status' column in 'snapshots' table' failed
...
Caused by: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The index 'IX_snapshots__component_uuid_islast_purge_status' is dependent on column 'purge_status'.

After we deleted those two indices the Database was up-tp-date. But still the SonarQube Server is not starting:

The issue seems to be known Sonarqube10 deployment error but the resolution does not fit to our usecase.

Thanks in advance

Has there been any solution to this? I’ve experienced the same problem trying to upgrade from 10.1.0.

I created post on this some time ago - SonarQube Developer Edition upgrade from 10.1.0 to higher versions fail) - and after checking the logs as advised, I discovered the same error.

Yet there is no solution.

Since the Database migration suceeded after the two columns got dropped I’ll give it another try with the latest available SQ version in the upcoming days.
