Steps

To install and configure a relational database, follow this general strategy: 

1. Install a supported relational database management system.
2. Create a XWiki database.
3. Create a user with all privileges on that database.
4. Copy your JDBC driver for your database into the XWiki web application's WEB-INF/lib directory directory.
5. Configure XWiki to use the created database. This involves modifying the WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml file as is described in the documentation for each database.
6. Start XWiki. It will automatically create the various tables it needs when it executes on the first run.
7. Add the missing indexes manually.

You can follow the database-specific documentation for:

• MySQL,
• MariaDB,  
• PostgreSQL,
• Oracle,
• Microsoft SQL Server,
• DB2,
• Derby,
