SQL Server 2000 Desktop
Engine (MSDE 2000) is a free, redistributable
version of SQL Server. Third-party software
developers can include it in applications
they build that use SQL Server to store
data.
MSDE is an ideal solution for:
| » |
Client
applications that require an embedded
database. |
| » |
IBasic
web sites that serve up to 25 concurrent
users. |
| » |
New
developers who are learning how to build
data-driven applications. |
This edition is functionally equivalent
to Standard Edition with the following exceptions:
| » |
Does
not include graphical management tools
(Enterprise Manager). |
| » |
Has
a workload governor that limits the
number of concurrent transactions. |
| » |
Does
not include any analysis capabilities
(such as OLAP, DTS, data mining, and
data warehousing features). |
| » |
Has
different scalability limits. |
