Hi all
I have been using SQL server 2005 Standard (32-bit).
I am planning to upgrade to 64 bit. But unfortunately I cant find a download link for SQl server 2005 Standard (64 bit). If any one knows the microsoft link, it would be a great help. Thanks a million.

Out of curiosity, why would you want to install an outdated, unsupported and potentially unsecure version of SQL Server instead of a current fully supported and secure version?

Thanks Gail, I totally missed that fact

Thought the question was kind of odd but at that point there wasn't enough caffeine in the system.

BWAAA-HAAAA!!!!! Because, broken or not, missing features or not, IT'S STABLE! 😀

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
