Hi All,

I have downloaded Pega 8.7 Personal Edition, I can see Pega provides Postgres along with it, but can we use Oracle instead of Postgres to set up PE, if yes please provide any help documentation.

Thanks in Advance.

@VijayaBhaskaraReM16808048 [Installing the Pega Platform Personal Edition](https://docs-previous.pega.com/system-administration/installing-pega-platform-personal-edition) is the only available documentation.

Oracle cannot be used instead.

See the Section ‘Retirement of Personal Edition’ on the [My Pega FAQ](https://community.pega.com/about-my-pega) which discusses Tools such as Query runner and Query inspector available in the product as alternatives.
