In my recent session on the various editions of SQL Server 2005, I saw that there was new version called SQL Server Everywhere that looked quite similar to SQL Server Express. In my searches on what could be different between the two and when to use what, I came across the following link from the Microsoft site:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/ctp_sqlserver2005everywhereedition.mspx. Towards the end of this article, you will a good comparision between the two editions and when to use what. Quite useful.
Sounds like a cliche statement, but it has been true for some time now in my life. Been extermely busy with work and travelling that I've had little or no time to focus on other activity. Grabbed an opportunity to take a training session in SQL Server 2005 at my office. The session is spread over several weeks and is aimed at introducing our organization to SQL Server 2005 and its feature set. Am looking forward to spinning off some articles based on these sessions.
Life is slowly returning back to normal now and I hope to get back to posting in the newsgroups and participating in articles / sessions etc.
