If no version of SQL Server is installed on your system when you install System Platform, and you install a product or role that includes either Historian Server or a Galaxy Repository, you can choose to allow System Platform to automatically install SQL Server 2022 Express Core as it installs other prerequisites.

Note: SQL Server Express is limited for use with small installations only (25,000 I/O per node or less). For information about the versions of SQL Server supported by Application Server and other System Platform products, see the System Platform Readme or System Platform Installation Guide.
