MSDE is MS SQL Server with a few key differences: 1. no GUI administration tools 2. maximum database size (2 GB?) 3. maximum concurrent connections (10?) 4. doesn't support automated backups (fixed in version 7 SP2)
I'm not 100% certain of the figures for #2 and 3, but MSDE is really meant for development and not production servers.

Another option, if you want a better DBMS but want to stick with Microsoft is to use MSDE (Microsoft Data Engine). It is included with Office 200 (not sure about Office XP) and with Visual Studio. MSDE is the back end of MS SQl server. Now this is way off topic. -- Simon Oliver _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/perl-win32-users _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/perl-win32-users
