| I am brand new to SQL servers and purchased 'Joes to Pros' and SQL Server Developer Edition to start learning. I'm wondering if there is a good free hosting service to run SQL server on. Would an Amazon EC2 micro instance be adequate? If not, is there anything else out there? |

| What about the Express Edition? It's free and you can install as many instances as you like. |

| If my experience of using the Express Edition is anything to go by, once you try anything more complicated than SELECT * FROM then you start running into "ah you can't do that" issues. |
