When you install SOHODOX, it creates and uses a basic database engine. This keeps the SOHODOX installation simple and lets you quickly try SOHODOX.
However, for a speedier and more stable user experience, we highly recommend that you download and run the SOHODOX DB Engine Installer which upgrades the database engine.
The utility is simple to use. It is completely automatic and requires almost no manual steps or configuration. Here are the steps…

2. Run the sdx-db-engine-package-sqle-x64.exe (or sdx-db-engine-package-sqle-x86.exe) file you downloaded.
The ‘Sohodox DB Engine Installer’ will be launched.
