More info - if you installed WSS3 on a box without SQL on there, you probably already have WID available locally. Just remember it is internal to that server and you don't want to go messing with it as can perform other features beyond WSS (AD Rights Management, System Resource Manager, UDDI Services ...). Uzma, ping me an email if you want to know anything else.

I know Metalogix and AvePoint are often too heavy for many clients. Therefore you could also consider AvePoints free EBS provider for SQL2005 - I've not used it so can't give an opinion I'm sorry. I think that covers it all! On a wdier note, I'm with Paul on ECM/DMS systems - SP can be used in many of the ECM roles, and many of it's competitors are laggards technically, but SP still has a way to go in understanding/delivering on enterprise document requirements. All BLOBs do is decouple data from binary streams. Now if they all used CMIS for their document management and discovery, whole new opportunities would open up...

Also, Express 2008 now comes with a 10GB limit - so RBS may not be needed. And Free EBS (deprecated, but still used widely) providers are out there if you must stay on SQL 2005. However, better off to move to a newer platform if possible, and RBS can get you ouf of an specific DB size issue as long as you plan your backups well and understand its limitations. Not a lot of people seem to know all this, which is strange! Mike.

I will need to set up a testing envrionment to ensure that SQL 2005 Express can be upgraded to SQL 2008 Express seamlessly! (If you guys have any links/tips, let me know!)

Then your database will not be so big etc. Regards, Tom Bizannes SharePoint and SQL Specialist From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Uzma Naz Sent: Monday, 7 February 2011 10:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: WSS 3.0 SQL Express 4GB limit Hi there, I was wondering.. is it possible to create a new content database to generate a further 4GB of space within a stand alone, WSS 3.0 environment with SQL Express installed?
