I have a HP i3 64bit win 7 ultimate machine
I have installed VMWare workstation 8, and on it I have installed Windows Server 2008 Enterprise
allocated 1GB RAM
60GB HDD memory
with no networking capabilities
Q:
1) Will I be able to install SQL Server 2008 Enterprise on the VM?
2) if yes,What do i need to do if i want to connect to the SQL Server with another computer on the same network?

That's an obvious issue.
==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.

| You may be able to install it, but 1 GB of RAM is not enough to run Windows and SQL Server effectively, especially Enterprise. I'd suggest at least 4 GB. |

Nigel addressed the 2nd question. If you have no network access on that VM, then it can't communicate with another server, only the VM host.
2 GB may be enough. Why are you using Enterprise Edition on such a small instance? It's overkill. |
