Hi, SQL Server 2012 Express is a free download version of SQL Server. In comparsion to Enterprise Edition, there are certain limitations. http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=29062

Developer Edition has the same features as Enterprise Edition and will cost you about $50.

Ok, that sounds good.

Do you know if the MS SQL server 2012 and 2014 developer edition
the same? And can the developer edition, does it have database engine, analysis services, reporting services and can it attach a copy of a database and use it?

can I use the developer 2014 the same way I use it for 2012, 2012 cost the same amount but I think the 2014 have more features and 2012 is sold out currently.

Thanks!!!
