Hi all,
I have an issue with SQL Server 2008. I developed a C# application and I used SQL Server 2008 express edition. Then, for some reason, the Express edition was kind of expired or something. The point is that I want to install de SQL Server 2008 Developer edition but I am not sure if this will work
as an enterprise Edition. What I mean with this is:
Can I do complex stored procedures ect? I bough Visual studio 2008 professional and it contains the SQL Developer Edition but what I get is the Database tools form the Visual studio instead of a Enterpise Management Studio. So this is limitating me the way I'm doing querys and stored procedures because of their complexity.
Does any body have an idea or is there something I'm missing?

SQL Server Express will not expire if you registered it and the developer edition is the enterprise edition with no deployment restrictions. If you are running VS2005/2008 Pro then you need to install all the components of SQL Server if you want to do development in Reporting Services, Integrated Services and Analysis Services because the only editions of VS2005/2008 that can develop both C# and SQL Server components is Team Suites. There is the exception that VS2008 database developer edition can do most C# development but in VS2005 that was limited.
So you can use BIDS in SQL Server 2008 developer edition and VS2008 Pro to develop most solutions on the Microsoft platform.
You need to copy all the DVD/CD/ISO to your C drive and rerun setup if needed run setup in the tools folder for the Management Studio and BIDS.
Kind regards,
