Prior to installing Websense components, Microsoft SQL Server must be installed and running on a machine in your network.
*
See System requirements for this version for supported versions of SQL Server.
*
Note that full versions of Microsoft SQL Server are not included in your Websense subscription, and must be obtained separately. Refer to Microsoft documentation for installation and configuration instructions.
If you do not have SQL Server, you can use the Websense installer to install SQL Server 2008 R2 Express, a free-of-charge, limited performance version of SQL Server 2008 R2. If you choose to use SQL Server 2008 R2 Express:
*
Use the Websense installer to install it. Do not download and install it from any other source.
*
This is the only Express edition of SQL Server you can use with Websense version 7.7.x solutions.
SQL Server 2008 R2 Express can be installed either on the TRITON management server or on a separate machine. For smaller enterprises, if you want to run SQL Server on the TRITON management server, it is a best practice to use SQL Server 2008 R2 Express. For larger enterprises, however, it is a best practice to run the TRITON Unified Security Center and SQL Server on separate physical machines.
 
* 
Note 
It is a best practice to use full versions of SQL Server in production environments. SQL Server 2008 R2 Express is most appropriate for non-production or evaluation environments. See Administering Websense Databases for more information.
To install SQL Server 2008 R2 Express on the TRITON management server, choose to do so during the installation of TRITON Infrastructure. See Creating a TRITON Management Server for more information.
To install SQL Server 2008 Express R2 on any other machine run the Websense installer in custom installation mode and select SQL Server Express. See Installing SQL Server 2008 R2 Express (without TRITON Infrastructure).
