The Express editions of SQL Server are supported for evaluation, development, and demonstration purposes only. They are also supported for the Meridian Enterprise Server configuration database only when Meridian Explorer is not configured. We do not recommend it for any environments. BlueCielo does not routinely test the Express editions for compatibility, performance, stability, or scalability. When Meridian Explorer is configured, the Standard or Enterprise edition of SQL Server must be used. SQL Server failover clusters are supported.

64-bit only
Database collation determines if queries and T-SQL script are case-sensitive or case-insensitive.Meridian Explorer requires case-insensitive database collation, which can be set either on the server level or on the database level. To set the collation at the server level, see Set or Change the Server Collation. To set the collation at the database level, see Set or Change the Database Collation.
The Full Text Search component is not installed by default, but is required on servers where repositories will be created. The Full Text Search component is only included in the following editions of SQL Server: Express with Advanced Services, Standard, and Enterprise editions.
Microsoft SQL Server 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. For an overview, see Binary Large Object (Blob) Data (SQL Server) on Microsoft TechNet.

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 on servers where repositories will be created.
