该版本的 SQL Server 允许开发人员在 SQL Server 的顶端生成任意类型的应用程序。它包括企业版的所有功能,但具有特殊的开发和测试最终用户许可协议(EULA),该协议禁止产品部署(有关完整的详细信息,请参阅SQL Server 2000 开发人员版 EULA)。
所以根据以上的简介和本人的实践,你要在WinXP的专业版(或者家庭版)上安装 SQL Server,完全可以选择“个人版”,当然如果你的爱机足够Powerful的话,选择“开发人员版”也没有问题的啦~呵呵…… 另外,SQL Server 可以在一个操作系统上安装多个“实例”,这样,我们可以在一操作系统上跑两个不同名字的SQL Server喔~~心动不如行动,还不赶快去试试看?! 最近在网上觅到“4In1”的单碟SQL Server,囊括了四个版本的SQL Server,仅仅要一张盘片哟,是不是很划算?!:)
开发人员版包括企业版的所有功能吗?
