SQL 2000 desktop

Is it possible to install SQL 2000 desktop without installing a database
server? I need to have the interface to access my database servers, but
don't want the overhead of a server and the service on my laptop.

Possible?

Thanks
Doug

Absolutely. During installation you will see this option.

What I think you want to install is the SQL Client and Connectivity tools.
You will see that option when you install the program. It will say
something like Install
Server and Client tools
Client tools only

Choose client tools only.

Good morning: At least it's morning where I am. :) I have a rather newbie question I'm afraid. I have VisualStudio.NET, and have installed it along with SQL server. However I can't seem to find an administration front-end to SQL, other than the VisualStudio, which is ok for creating databases and adding tables/columns. However when I go to generate create script, I'm told that I need client tools.

Hi Everyone, Apparently, I was being asked on a question, "Why don't we procure a desktop PC to run MS SQL Server 2000 rather than a buying a server?". From a Management point-of-view, buying a desktop PC is much cheaper than a server. However, I just wanted to understand that is it a viable solution given the database size is something around 200 GB? Equipping with more memory, more storage and a more powerful CPU on a desktop PC...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
