Andreas, I would try to do the tests with the latest, or at least recent, version of SQLServer. When I was looking into it, I downloaded and configured a the free, express version of SQLServer 2012:
http://www.microsoft.com/web/platform/database.aspx Andrew Woods gave me some more information about database support in Fedora 4. There is support for database persistence at two different layers: ModeShape database binary store: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/MODE/Binary+values#Binaryvalues-BinaryStoreimplementations If you use Infinispan as your binary store, then there's also a database plugin for Infinispan: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/ISPN/Cache+Loaders+and+Stores Fedora 4 itself does not contain an administrative database, as it does in Fedora 3. -- Scott On 09/04/2013 02:08 PM, Andreas Nef wrote: > Hi Scott > > All right, seems doable, I'll look into it next week.
