[thelist] MS SQL Server

[Norman Beresford]

Hi Scott

While there isn't a limit on the total number of concurrent connections,
it does have a built in governor which will slow things down if you have
more then 5.  As well as the governor there's also a limit on database
size (2gb).  You also don't get any management tools besides osql from
the command line. I'm also not certain if it includes free text support
etc, but I could be wrong about that.

MSDE isn't cut down; it is a full blown SQL Server
install, but the caveat is you can only have five
(IIRC) current connections open (which go fast). For development
purposes, it's the way to go....
