| You need personal, developer or msde.standard/enterprise need a server os.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |

| I have window professional xp and I tried to install SQl server 2000 enterprise.So if I have window xp, then I could use the sql developer? If I want to use the enterprise, then I would have to have window server 2003.I think I'm right.Thanks guys - Jennifer |

| I fear she's asking for exactly what you think she was asking.We do not post, or in any way, help people to install illegal versions of SQL.I should point out that msde is free, iirc.*##* *##* *##* *##* Chaos, Disorder and Panic ... my work is done here! |

ahhh... reading the second link:quote: It's All Going to ChangeWell, not all. But some time before the end of the year, SQL Server 2005 will ship, and this will have an impact on both the product lineup and its pricing. First, SQL Server 2000 Desktop Edition is being retired. In its place, we get SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. Express Edition will still be free, embeddable, and redistributable. But unlike Desktop Edition, it will include a graphical management tool, as well as some other goodies like a report wizard and controls, plus support for new technologies including SQL Service Broker and the Common Language Runtime. All in all, Express Edition should significantly raise the bar for the use of SQL Server is low-cost applications (and may be the death knell for the venerable Jet engine).
per the bolded section 'will still be free' - that implies (in my mind) that 'SQL Server 2000 Desktop Edition ' is free.Thanks*##* *##* *##* *##* Chaos, Disorder and Panic ... my work is done here! |
