Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 introduced another long sought after feature….
The Named System Database.

Instead of the System database being hardcoded to DYNAMICS, a different name can be selected when installing GP.

So what does that mean?

Now you can have multiple System Databases on a single server without needing additional instances of SQL Server.

Today, I responded on a post on the Partner Forum asking “Can the DEX_ROW_ID change for a record over time?“. In this case the partner had seen the values for DEX_ROW_ID change on the GL20000 (GL_YTD_TRX_OPEN) and GL30000 (GL_Account_TRX_HIST) tables. This caused problems for an integration to an external system that used the DEX_ROW_ID as a key field.
