sql server connect: Depending on your requirements, you could deploy MSDE.

Not sure what this has to do with alt.photography though...

a question for setup experts please tracy
2/13/2004 7:53:32 PM
hello,

i have sql server 2000 on my local machine (with enterprise manager etc).

i want to host a website (on a dedicated server) which talks to sql server,
but i dont want to buy another license for the server machine that i am
going to host on (too much money!).

my question is:
is there a way around this? ie: is there a free engine or something that i
can install on my webserver which just stores the datafiles so my webpages
will work.

ideally i would like to DTS data to and from the live server, and also use
my local enterprise manager to view/update data on the live server?

is this possible?

thanks

lol, yeah the alt.photography was a bit of a mistake!

Can you tell me more about MSDE please, and whether it will meet my
requirements mentioned below.

Thanks.

If you still have questions about licensing, there are some useful links
here:
317428 INF: Where to Find Information About SQL Server Licensing
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=317428

Keep in mind that you can buy a developer edition of SQL Server for $49 to
develop your application. If the SQL Server edition you already have is
either Standard or Enterprise you could move that edition to your web
server and use the developer edition on your client. But you cannot use the
developer edition on your website.

MSDE might be legal for your web server if you have the appropriate
redistribution rights. MSDE also has some limitations on size and number of
concurrently executing queries. Check out the MSDE roadmap on MSDN as well
as the links from the KB above.
