Roman, as part of SQL MA installation and testing of the default setup, 
initiation of SQL database is needed (create database + specific tables 
+ users and add test content). This is similar to the exist XML DB 
initiation.

We want the user to be able to do this easily and in as few steps as 
possible. The idea is to hide the user from complex steps involved in 
installation and configuration of all the required dependencies.

Via the web admin interface, this will be achieved in two ways:

1. Through the wizard - all initiation steps will be carried out very 
easily.
2. Through the advanced option - sql admin servlet that Michalis is 
talking about which gives more options for the user.

I hope this makes our ideas clearer.

There is a lot to learn in how best to do all this with least effort for 
the user. This is the first step. We listen to feedback from users and 
we improve as we go.

Loukik.
