SQL Server Express It should be released publicly on Nov. 7th. I have it installed as part of my MSDN subscription and Visual Studio 2005. Looks like it'll be a good solution for implementing small databases. It has a limit of 1GB of RAM, 4GB database size and 1 CPU, which is plenty for a lot of small to mid-sized applications. Just to see how well it works, I made a local copy of my Life, Liberty, Etc. web site, restored the database (about 60mb) into SQL Express and it works great. |
...if you don't like performance. I love the ease of use of SQL Server, but that thing just can't keep up in an enterprise environment. I dread my company's current migration to Oracle, but our SQL servers are a terrible bottleneck. |
