| Any known installation issues with MSDE?(SQL Server Express for 2005 is not an option yet for our customer; we need to stay with 2000).Thank you. |

| "Any known installation issues with MSDE?"Database size limit of 2GB. "Throttles" if more than 5(??) concurrent queries running. Other than that it behaves pretty much the same as its Big Brother version.Kristen |

| you should tell us about what you intend to use it for and then we might be able to determine if you will run into issues.keep in mind you get what you pay for. A free database like MSDE is not going to have all the bells and whistles that the full blown SQL Server offerings have.oh, and google things a bit. googling 'msde limitations' turns up this link http://databases.aspfaq.com/database/what-are-the-limitations-of-msde.html that should pretty well answer all your questions about MSDE.-ec |
