I'm not a SQL guy so this may seem like a silly question but here goes... I know RIM recommends having MDAC v2.8 on the BES as well as on the SQL server hosting the database... what negative impact, if any, will come of mixing the versions and having 2.8 on the BES and 2.7.x on the SQL server? I'm asking because I have just taken over my company's BES project and have a lot of things to work out and need to prioritize; if there's no major issue with this arrangment, I'd just as soon fix something else and come back to it but if it could be causing some of my performance/latency issues, I'll pay it closer attention. Thanks in advance!

If your users on the BES arent complaining don't fix something that isn't broken. RIM recommends 2.8 but you don't have to use it. If you have any issues then I would suggest upgrading to 2.8 on the SQL server it's really not that big of a job.
