SQL Server for end users
|
|
| Edvard Korsbęk 2004-03-30, 1:30 am |
| We have decided to change to SQL on our programs.
Our customers are schools and kindergartens.
They are administrated from the local City, and the administrator would of
cause want to be able to reuse the data from the schools - that says that I
should use a MS SQL server.
I have understood, that the database connectivity is a part of Windows
2000/XP professional - I.e that a PC with theese OS can run a MS SQL
database without any extra cost.
I have to create the empty MDF file with my MS SQL server and distribute it.
Is this correct - Or do I have to look at other SQL solutions?

To install the full blown version of SQL Server, you need a server
operating system, of which 2K and XP Pro are. The redistributable
engine MSDE runs on anything from Win98 up.

You can create a new database (which consists of more than just an MDF
file) at the client site, using the client tools (full version) or
script commands through OSQL (MSDE/full version).

| To Distribute MSDE, you need a SQL Server developer license. There are
pretty cheap ( About $40 US)
