It's an embedded database we (and other opensource companies like Liferay and JBoss) only recommend for testing and evaluating products - you should then move to MySQL or whatever DB is your preference. Alfresco will start and run faster against MySQL than HSQL also.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I suggest you read this:</SPAN><BR /><A href="http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Migrating_from_HSQL" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Migrating_from_HSQL</A><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Take a backup of your installation before proceeding! Then if anything goes wrong you won't lose anything.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Kevin</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 11 Sep 2007 14:48:20 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/hsql-not-recommended-for-production/m-p/144919#M101321 kevinr 2007-09-11T14:48:20Z
