Microsoft SQL 2014 Express can be downloaded directly from the SwyxWare DVD. It can manage databases up to a total volume of 10 GB.
For further information please refer to chapter Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Express Installation.
*Microsoft SQL Server 2014
For larger installations, e.g. a SwyxWare for Data Center installation, please use a Microsoft SQL Server 2014 (e.g. Standard Edition).
The database server must be set up before the installation of SwyxWare.
