SQL Express Questions

[=?Utf-8?B?RGVubmlz?=]

Someone tell me if I am understanding SQL Express correctly:

1) SQL Express is free and can be installed on any Windows XP operating system

2) SQL Express can be accessed from VB.Net 2003 just like any SQL database

I happen to be reading a section in a book on SQL Server 2005. It works
with Windows 2000, XP, and 2003. It requires the .NET Framework 2.0 to be
installed on it's host computer.

Yes and yes.

But remember limitations: CPU, Memory Utilisation, Maximum DB size.

Hi Dennis,

The answer to both questions is yes, with a note. For Windows XP it does
require SP2. Also, you need to install .NET Framework 2.0.

Robinson,

But remember limitations: CPU, Memory Utilisation, Maximum DB size.

For the installation there is no Maximum DB size, there is a Maximym per
database (it can be more) to use it.

What in my opinion can be seen as just like any SQL 2005 databaseserver.

Just as well to inform Dennis of course.
