| In place upgrade from SQL Express to SQL Dev is supported and should work fine. Your Instance Name won't change, so you'll have a copy of SQL Dev named SQLEXPRESS but that's not a huge deal.What are you finding in your research that's recommending you don't do this?Regards,Mike WachalSQL ExpressThis posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.Use of included script samples are subject to the terms specified athttp://www.microsoft.com/info/cpyright.htm |
