Which Version of SQL To Use?

I want to use things such as (1) Start > Programs > SQL Server > SQL
Server Management Studio, and (2) Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL
Server 2005 menu, etc.

Per a book I have, I only can do : Start > All Programs > Microsoft
SQL Server 2005 > Configuration Tools > SQL Server Configuration
Manager
SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting
SQL Server Surface Area Configuration


But, should I get the the developer version, the enterprise version,
the express edition, the standard edition or the workgroup edition? Is
the developer version o'kay?

Thanks,
Christopher Lusardi

Hi,

SQL server developer edition comes with all the tools and is by far
the cheapest. Keep in mind it is only licensed for developing software.

There also is a new version of sql express out that comes with a ssis, full
text search, and reporting services.

Express toolkit

Sql management studio express
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=65110

Hi Folks, I'm looking for a way to determine if the client machine has access installed and if so, what version. The reason I need this is to determine (programatically) if the Access Runtime is required to be installed and if not, which version of the program database needs to be installed with the current version of Access. (hope that makes sense). If anyonoe could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

I have a web page that uses an unordered list (<UL>) and the LH (list header) tag. I know LH is a valid tag because it is clearly defined by the W3C here: http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html3/bulletlists.html The problem is, when I try to validate the page at W3C, it tells me: " element "LH" undefined " My page is 4.01 Transitional, using charset windows-1252. Any ideas why this won't validate?
