Download Sql 2008 R2 Standard
Do you know which SQL Server 2000 edition meets your functional and budgetary needs? If you don't, you're not alone. Many of my consulting customers and scores of SQL Server Magazine readers have expressed confusion about differences in the five editions--Personal, Desktop Engine, Standard, Enterprise, and Developer. Here's a brief rundown of each edition's features and target customers. (For more information, go to the Microsoft Web sites listed toward the end of this column.) The Personal Edition is for personal workstations or small workgroup servers. Although all SQL Server editions provide essentially the same core database kernel, supported features will vary from one edition of SQL Server to another.
