MSDE and full-text searching

I am currently determining the architecture for a rewrite of an existing retailed software product - moving from Smalltalk to C# .Net. It is to be a rich-client single-user desktop application. The architecture requires a database to store and manage complex relational information in conjunction with text documents. SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine seems an ideal architecture candidate

Unfortunately, the Desktop Engine does not seem to support full-text searches and alternatively the Standard Edition of SQL would cost more than the existing retail price of the application being redeveloped

I require information regarding whether it is possible to use full-text searches (which uses MS Search Service) using the Desktop Engine; or alternatively if there are any price effective licensing options (short of shipping SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition with every product). Worst case scenario would indicate using another component such as Lucene.Net for performing the full-text searching

thanks in anticipatio

I have a distributed inventory control database that I am going to migrate from Access to SQL Server. I am going to use SQL Server Replication to keep the data current. There will one SQL Server 2000 database at HeadOffice, and about 200 branches will each have MSDE 2000. For tables that are the same for each branch (e.g. StockItems, Suppliers), I'm going to use Transactional replication with the HeadOffice as Publisher. There is no...

Hi - I have a rather unreliable host just now - but they offer .net, sql server and SSL for a reasonable price. Problem is, the domain is hosted on a shared server - and it keeps going down apparantly because of code which is less than clean, on some peoples sites. (ie. not closing connections etc). I am considering moving to a decicated server - but at this point in time, cannot afford a full SQL Server licence for it - however, the...

I'm looking for a simple way of telling (inside a stored procedure) if I'm currently using MSDE or a full SQL server. Ideally, there is some pre-defined environment variable that won't cause me too much overhead. The reason I'm doing this is because my system "rolls over" databases when it reaches the 2Gb limit with MSDE, but obviously I want to avoid this overhead if the user installs onto a full SQL server instance. Thanks

Hi I want to package my C# winforms app, to be deployed with MSDE, as easily as possible for the end user.

Has anyone does this?? How??

Hi, I write an ASP,NET application who uses SQL Server (MSDE) as Back-end I'm an experienced developer, but haven't used SQL server before and I need some help. Since I don't have full SQL server (but only MSDE), I don't have Enterprise manager. So I used Access XP (using an ADP file) to create the database on MSDE server (tables, views, stored procs etc)
