changing servers.

  • I am new here this is my very 1st post so forgive me if Im in wrong area.anywaysI have a pc Im on and it has xp home sp3(yes believe it)and it has the 2002 version which Im guessing thats the sql? but anyway can I switch to a newer sql server? reason to get best performance outta my pc? any input is very helpful.thanks alot.

  • sql server does not have a 2002 version. There is 6.5, 7.0, 8.0 (2000), and 9.0 (2005), 10.0 (2008). I am not certain what that would have to do with your PC. If you are running xp home sp3 then the most you could have is a compact desktop edition. None of which should be running on your home PC with out a good reason.

    Hope that helps. If not please clarify your question.

  • what info I got is 2000 5.1 if that helps?

  • not certain if it will work with the application using sql server compact edition but there is a sql server 2005 compact edition. SQL Server 2008 is due to be released in April and I am sure 2008 will have a compact edition. 2005 should work with xp home edition sp3 but I am fairy certain the 2008 version will not.

    Hope that answers your question.

  • Yes you can move your sql server to a new PC and can access from it.
