| Having taught several Introduction to SQL Server classes, it is always a challenge for new users to get SQL Server running on their computer for the first time. I have seen cases where people attempt to download the 90 day trial, if that even exists any more, or to download SQL Express. Here is my recommendation, for developers or anyone learning SQL Server if you need SQL Server on your laptop for a class or to just develop or try things out, then go for the SQL Server Developer Edition. SQL 2008 R2 developer edition is under $50 at Amazon.com.
My suggestion would be to go for the developer edition, it as all of the features of the full version and doesn’t expire after 90 days. |
