sql server new users: To the best of my knowledge there are no maintenance costs associated with
SQL Server after the licensing fees.

You can however buy tech support hours from microsoft in different
allocations.

I have used the professional support option with great success several
times.

What is the annual license maintenance costs for SQL Server. Is it a %age of
the product license costs
