Hello everyone,
I want to know SQL Server Express edition, like SQL Server 2008 Express edition,
- whether totally free or not (e.g. free for a period of time or free for ever)?
- I heard no management tool like SQL Server Management Studio for Express edition, is that true?
- If I have some code which works on SQL Server Enterprise edition and I also want to make it work on Express edition, any general steps and advice for migration and testing (to verify my code on SQL Server Enterprise edition works for SQL Server express edition as well)? Code I mean both ADO.Net client side code and server side storeprocedure, table/index creation code. (or I can ask in other words, what kinds of client and server side of code can run on both Enterprise edition Express edition?)
thanks in advance, George
