If you just want to experiment with Source Control for Oracle without setting it up with a source control system, you can use the evaluation repository. This option creates a temporary source control repository on your computer using Subversion, a free source control system.

The evaluation repository is designed to be used by a single person on a single computer, and doesn't work well for keeping backups or sharing changes with others. To get the full advantages of Source Control for Oracle, we recommend you set up a source control system when you're ready. For example, these pages explain how to set up a repository with Subversion, a free source control system:

• Setting up a local Subversion (SVN) repository
• Setting up a Subversion (SVN) server

Linking to the evaluation repository

1. Create a new source control project.
2. On step 2 of the wizard, on the Subversion tab, select the Use evaluation repository checkbox and click Next:
   
3. On step 4 of the wizard, make sure the New folder tab is selected and click Next.
4. Follow the steps to finish the wizard.
