You’re right, the info was missing. I’ve now added it to http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationWAR#HInstallandconfigureaRelationalDatabase Thanks for reporting this, you’ll help future users I’m sure :) > This is frustrating because I could have just as easily used postgresql > instead, or oracle, if I'd realized sql server was second tier to them as > far as xwiki goes. > > What does "Some pull requests for this would be nice..." mean? It means that the DB that are not supported by the xwiki devs are supported by the community and the XWiki devs just apply patches and pull requests. > I might post > to taskman jira as you suggest. > > I was only installing task manager to have a look at the inner workings of > an application.

You’d need to do a SQL92 export from sqlserver and try to import it in Postgres for ex. > Probably easier to reinstall from scratch (I don't have a lot of content > that needs to be preserved). In that case you can do a XAR export of your pages and reimport them in a clean instance indeed.
