Liferay on SQL Server suggestions

Question

does anyone has any experience of installing Liferay using SQL Server as database ? Any particular problem with installation or performance ? Which version can I use? Maybe I have to use a legacy instance SQL Server 2000

Thanks

Liferay can be configured with any database that supports JDBC driver, which you can download from Microsoft to SQL Server 2000.
See liferay configuration details from here: http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Database%20Configuration#section-Database+Configuration-IncludingTheJDBCDriver
I have installed the portal using the provided Hyper SQL and migrated to both DB2 and MySql without a problem (demo data needs to be deleted anyway after deployment).
