First off, let me say thank you for submitting a question. Although (to me) the wording was a little off, it was still a good "back to basics" type question.

Just remember, the devil is in the details; even with a requirements question like this the answers can change depending on the "bitness" of your OS to the version of SQL Server you're using, so make sure everyone is on the same page when you submit your next question. 😀 TGIF

Everything is awesome!

misleading question - Like others, I would assume the full product unless express edition was explicitly stated. then the minimum is 1gb, but the recommended minimum is 4gb. so the recommended amount would depend on the application requirements

The CORRECT answer is "None of the above". SQL Server 2012 is full edition. SQL Server 2012 EXPRESS is a whole other animal. Example: I'll sell you licenses for SQL Server 2012 for $100 per core. When you buy it, can I deliver SQL Server 2012 Express instead? 😀

true

Yep, incomplete information in the question. I'm surprised it got past the gatekeeper(s).

That icon for you made me crazy for a minute. Well done.

Drat - burnt by the badly worded question, which didn't mention express edition 🙂

Better luck next time!

So...do we have a way to report these questions for review? The question is clearly a bad post. We should be given our points.

No where did it state MINIMUM and there was no mention at all of an edition. How do these questions get passed the moderators in the first place!

I can see that the majority of answers were "None of the above" which given the lack of context in the question was the correct answer.

Cheers!
