if SQLServer Express Edition is no longer a supported database for C:D - could references to the Express Edition be removed from the documentation. For example - in the C:D v.4.8 (released in March 2018) document (document has the filename cd_53_win_pdf.pdf) it still has multiple references to SQLServer Express Edition - which seem to indicate that it is a supported database for C:D - for example it has the entry: "To use SQL Server Express, download and install it."
Thank you for opening this enhancement request with IBM. I have reviewed it with my team and unfortunately we won't be able to accept this enhancement request. We don't certify C:D for use with SQL Express as Microsoft doesn't provide support to us if a DB issue is identified. This limits our ability to fully support and certify that DB option. As an alternative we do ship PostgreSQL as the default DB for C:D Windows v4.8 which may meet your needs. Thank you for opening this enhancement request and please don't hesitate to use the tool again should the need arise.
Sincerely,
Chris Sanders
