| Hello to All, I am new to the SQL Server world and would appreciate your help.I'm not sure what license I have. The paper I have been given is a Microsoft Open License Order Confirmation. Under product description:SQLSvrStd 2008 SNGL OLP NLThis is my scenario:I work for a company where I would like to use SQL Server as a primary database which gets its information from an iSeries as400. Users,no more than 20 ever at a time, would access data from the SQL Server via Microsoft Access, Excel, and, or Visual Basic apps that I write, using ODBC connections.I am the only one who would be writing, testing, developing on the machine. The 20 users at a time ever is very generous since actually only 10 people would currently be accessing data through a front end app.Our server would be stored in a 'hardware room' and I would access the server via remote connection.Our network administrator would access the server the same way but only for updates, backups, and maintenance for the server itself.here are my questions:1. Is this license sufficient for what I want to do? If not what license do I need.2. Reading on active/Passive setup, this allows me to setup SQL Server on two servers where if the first server fails, the second one picks up. 3. Would getting a developers license be the best way to have a test/development SQL Server since currently my Production SQL Server would be my test/development server? Again, I would be the only user.Can I restore backups from a production SQL Server to SQL Server developer to see if the backup were successful? thanks for your time. |
