My learning environment for xwiki 8.4.3 involves sql server 2012 as the data
store. Apparently sql server is not officially supported by xwiki. It would
be interesting to hear if any xwiki deploys out there do use sql server as
the data store? If it's really rare I'll move to postgresql.

Oh, and a note about *why* it's ok to have the two tutorials which create an
application named FAQ would be useful, if it is the case.

Thanks for that. Now, since I already created a mini FAQ using the "Apps
within Minutes" FAQ tutorial, do I have the risk of namespace collision if I
follow the more advanced tutorial that you just edited? Or are they somehow
isolated? Many new users will do the "Apps within Minutes" FAQ tutorial
Well, thank you Vincent. You've been instrumental in my very positive xwiki
experience. xwiki is amazing and the support from you folks has been very
good. I'll try another application and see if it has issues like task
manager.

One question I have about the very useful feature of xwiki is how to drag and
drop multiple images onto a page. Offhand xmarks seems to create an image
attachment called image.png; pasting another image onto the same page
overwrites the first image, using with the same name. Any way to have xwiki
And a recommendation - make the 'provide enough memory for tomcat' statement
in the instructions a bit more explicit; possibly advise what I used,
512-1024. The out of the box tomcat memory settings are very low.
Generally the xwiki setup instructions are very good. Thank you.

Finally, success. Almost for certain the issue was lack of memory for tomcat.
With min 512 and max 1024 xwiki is running normally.
The part of this long thread that is not about tomcat memory, I'd guess, is
the fact that the hibernate instructions for mssql may be incomplete, and
