| I am DBA and am not real clear on Develpement issues.We have a BI application, compete with OLAP cubes and much more,using SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition.One of our Management Office big-wigs has put in a request for himself and two others to have a complete instance of SQL Server2005 installed on their laptops so they can design reports usingReporting Services independent of each other. He says a shareddev environment won't do because different developers would stepon each others toes (awwww, poor guys).Surely, they don't each need SQL Server Standard Edition on theirlaptops. But I am unclear just what does make sense. Anybodygot a clue how this should be approached? Should they just install Reporting Services? Would that work and cost less? Would something cheaper than Standard edition work for him? Might our existing Standard license include Multipe instances of ReportingServices? He isn't sure what he needs, and neither am I. |

| You can install SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition on their laptops. It has all of the features of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition. Developer Edition is only about $50 US.It sounds like they are relatively clueless, so they will probably just mess around with it for awhile and give up.CODO ERGO SUM |
