SQL Express Vs other editions

  • I know that SQL Express is a cut down version of SQL Server but does anyone know if there are any enhancements within it to make perform better in desktop scenarios?

    I'm thinking that SQL Server has to be multi-user but SQL Express could afford to be more selfish with its resources.

  • The only real difference I know of (that might fit within the "desktop-friendly" category) is that it's the only version not to require 512MB for SQL. It's about the only "desktop-friendly" feature I know of. Of course, in return you don't get to "give" it more than 1GB or 1 processor (it won't use them), so I'd say that makes us even....

    Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?
