| Hi I currently have this edition of SQL server on my laptop:Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2039 (Intel X86) May 3 2005 23:18:38 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft CorporationDesktop Engine on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)It is running on SQL Server Management Studio 2005.I wish to upgrdade to Developer Edition (as my laptop won't support Enterprise as it's running on Windows XP).I have some questions, which I would be grateful if somebody could help answering:1- will all my database remain as they are?2- Will I loose any functionality?3- Will it upgrade or intstall a separate edition?4- Can anybody recommend where to purchase Developer 2005 edition?5- I currently have 2gb capped database limit on my version, will I get a no capped limit?6- Will the 2gb Capped limit increase to uncapped once I install (i.e. can i use my previous 2gb database and add more data to above 2 gb)The main issues are that I need an uncapped limit for my DB's and that I will keep my existing db's.Many thanks!!!!! |
