Notes

1. The Express editions of SQL Server are supported for evaluation, development, and demonstration purposes only. BlueCielo does not test the Express editions for compatibility, performance, stability, or scalability. In a production environment, the Standard, Enterprise, or Datacenter edition of SQL Server must be used.

2. We assume that non-Windows versions of Oracle are compatible with the Windows versions (as pertains to Meridian Enterprise compatibility). BlueCielo supports non-Windows configurations, but does not test them. For more information on testing and supporting non-Windows versions, contact BlueCielo Technical Support.

   The Oracle Text component is not installed by default, but is required for the Meridian Explorer full-text search feature.

   Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) are supported. Contact BlueCielo Technical Support for more information.

3. 64-bit only

   Case-sensitive collation is not supported.

   The Full Text Search component is not installed by default, but recommended. The Full Text Search component is only included in SQL Server Express with Advanced Services.

   Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 and higher provides a FILESTREAM feature for higher performance that we recommend and is enabled by default during repository creation. Before using this feature, we strongly recommend that you fully understand the advantages, limitations, and implications of the feature by studying the Microsoft SQL Server documentation.
