Since scorreia's reply of 16Jan2014 that "The DQ portal cannot currently run with SQL Server ... Same for the Data Stewardship Console" this has changed with respect to DSC. The default is still the H2 embedded database, however, you have the possibility to make the console work with other databases, e.g., MySQL through the Install Wizard and Oracle or MS SQL Server by modifying WEB-INF\classes\tdsc-database.properties. Therefore, DSC can *currently* run with MS SQL Server. Can tdq_portal currently run with MS SQL Server? I find no similar statement or file. If not, do we have plans? A client is asking.
