    I can imagine managers and directors saying, "What? You want another SQL Server license just for testing?"

    I've always have gotten the reading from our legal staff that setting up a server for dev or testing was considered legal and free as far as licensing is concerned. But it has to be in a separate domain.

    Have they all been wrong?

    From my understanding, it's not actually free. It should be the Developer's Edition and each chair should have a license for it. In quantity, they can be as low as 30 bucks from a good MS authorized dealer.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
