SEP should offer to use x64 SQL Express and not Sybase on x64 Windows
Created: 26 Sep 2009 | 1 comment
Why does Symantec continue to use a low end db engine on x64 Windows? It supports 4GB dbs and by the time Sybase gets to a 4GB db it will be crawling. Given that 2008 R2 is preparing to ship and that there will be NO more builds of 32-bit Windows Server, it's time for Symantec to move into 2009 with modern technology and out of 1992 technology.

SQL express (and why we dont use it)
SQL express caps out at 4GB, making it unusable in all but the smallest environments, which is what the embedded database is designed for.
As an example, my test environment has 5 clients, only 10 days of logs kept, only 3 content revisions kept and it is still 2gb in size. (this is full SQL 2005 enterprise)
