| If your interests are in being a SQL developer (as opposed to being a DBA), I would start with the express Edition. http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/editions.aspx That will let you get your feet wet. From a developer's perspective, you can do most of the things that you would need to improve your skills just with the Express edition. As for hardware, I don't think you would need to buy any high-powered servers. Start with your plain old PC and see how it goes.I used to be a .Net developer too (and I still claim I am one if there are no other .Net developers within earshot) but somehow, my heart was always in databases. Like anything else, as I am trying to learn, each day I find that there is more I don't know. But that is the fun part of it if you enjoy it. English is not my native language, so I may not be expressing myself clearly, but what I am trying to say is that, go for it if you enjoy it, you will have a lot of fun learning and experimenting and even making mistakes. |
