Table 3-4 provides a comparison of features for the various database choices.
3.8.2 Installing and Setting Up the MySQL Database (Optional)
To use MySQL, you must install MySQL Database Server, version 5.1, following the instructions
provided in this section. MySQL Database Server is optional third-party software and is not
provided by 3PAR.
NOTE: If you choose Oracle as the database, you cannot install System Reporter
on a 64-bit Linux system since it requires a 32-bit Oracle client which is not
supported on 64-bit Linux. This limitation does not apply to the 64-bit Windows
version since the 32-bit Windows version of Oracle Client works on 64-bit
Windows platforms.
