I am also installing this for testing in Windows but plan to move to Linux if that matters.

Thanks.

JR, you'll need to install Alfresco 3 Labs with either Derby or MySQL, and then change the appropriate properties files as per http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Database_Configuration#Oracle_Example.

My recommendation is to select Derby during install. That way you don't have to have an installation of MySQL running.

HTH,

Hi,
I wondered about Oracle express support for Share… who did you get the information about it being supported from?

Thanks!
