I am a single developer, and new to SQL Server. I have Windows XP Pro, and
my system has a couple gigs RAM. I would like to know what version of SQL
Server I should buy. Any advice is appreciated.

Hi Charlie,
If you're going to use it for development, buy the developer edition.
This gets you all the features of the enterprise edition, but licensed
only for development work. It'll cost you about $50.

Get the free version and use it until you figure out
which missing features you need. Then upgrade.

I have the free version. What advantage is the developer version over the
free version? I am having trouble creating table relationships in the free
version. Any advice?

In that case, my advice would be to read the feature comparisons
on Microsoft's website.

yeah, developer version is probably the best choice. The enterprise
actually won't install on XP (only Windows Server)
Interesting that the Microsoft web site doesn't include the developer
version in the comparison.

Hi Charlie,
Yeah, I've been bitten by that one as well. Actually, the reason is (or
was, last time I looked) mentioned on one of the comparison pages, but
buried deep in the small print so I can't blame you for not finding it!
The reason that developer edition is not included on the feature
comparison pages, is that developer edition has the exact same features
as the enterprise edition! The only differences are price, license, and
(as Bucky points out) supported operating systems - but those
characteristics are mentioned on other pages, where developer edition is
indeed included!

Hi Charlie,
WRT relationships, the Express Edtion has the same features as any of
the other editions.
In case you haven't yet done so, you might want to download and install
Management Studio Express, a graphical interface exposing many of SQL
Server Express' features. For some, using a GUI is great. For many other
features, I wouldn't want to touch a GUI with a 10' pole, since writing
straight SQL gives me so much more control.
Using a GUI and then checking the generated SQL *can* be a way to learn
writing SQL, but beware that it's also a great to to learn to write bad
SQL, as some of the stuff that the GUI generates is terrible. You might
be better off buying (or borrowing) and reading a text book to write to
learn SQL.
