Enterprise only edition of SQL 2005 to support partitioning?

  • Trying to attach a DB that contains partitoned tables - receiving error msg:

    Database cannot be started in this edition of SQL Server 2005 because it contains a partition function. Only Enterprise edition of SQL Server 2005 supports partitioning.

    Yes, I only have STANDARD edition of SQL 2005 installed. (9.00.3054)

    Of the 4 editions available to me: Express, Workgroup, Standard, and Enterprise ---

    1) Is Enterprise the only edition which supports partitioning?

    2) Can I install Enterprise on my desktop?

    1. From BOL: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143761.aspx?n=0

    Yes only EE

    2. You should use DEVELOPER Edition which "supports" EE "features" with hardware limitations....
