    Please tell me,,, I need to buy a License

  • Hi

    I'm not sure if you can install Enterprise Edition on XP, but why Enterprise Edition? If you used Express Editions since now, what about Standard Edition? It's way cheaper.

  • Can Standard Editions support all, Because I need to load database ,morthan 20 gb.. So please..tell me clearly,...

  • SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition can handle any size of databases and it can handle more than 4 GB RAM. We use Standard Edition with 32GB RAM and databases up to 300 GB databases.

  • Enterprise edition is not supported on non-server OS's.

    Why Enterprise? Those licences aren't cheap and it can't be because of required enterprise-only features if you're upgrading from Express. Consider Standard edition or even Workgroup edition.
