-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Taco Fleur Sent: Thursday, 7 August 2003 2:19 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] [OT] SQL Development Licensing A while ago I saw this post (see below) about SQL Development licensing. ----------------- you could just cut the licensing costs entirely and use the free MS Data Engine (aka SQL Server Desktop Edition). It's SQL Server with some limitations, each database has a max size of 2GB and max of 5 concurrent connections, which lets face it is gonna be fine for most small scale web development. You should be able to use the same ODBC and JDBC drivers as you would with the enterprise edition of SQL Server and you can use Access, Visual Studio or SQL Server Enterprise Manager as GUIs. Nice! ----------------- I'm not 100% sure on how to interpret the above, but our SA reckons that the above means just means free use of Enterprise manager, which can then connect to out licensed SQL Server. The way I read is that somewhere there is a cut down version of SQL Server that we can use for development, is this correct? If so, where can we find and download this?
