Lincensing qn

  • All,

    Somewhat new to SQL server licensing. Do we have to license the sql server database used in landing area of a production data warehouse; the warehouse is one step downstream - landing area feeds to the warehouse while landing area gets its feeds from multiple sources. Can we use Developer edition for this landing area or do we need to use fully licensed SQL server version.

    Thanks,

    Ram.

  • Yes you will need a license for that.  That said, get into a relationship with your licensing rep and get anything they say in writing.

  • Is there a reason to have your DW landing area on a different server than the DW itself?  Could it just be a different database on the same server?

  • Thank you for your time Coffman and Chris. The landing and the production are going to be 'big', so we prefer them to be in different physical servers - manageability, maintenance, etc
