SQL 2012 developper edition

  • HI,

    Is there a free version/edition available of SQL 2012 that we can use to develop (like Developer edition for 2008)? Is where where I can get it?

    Thanks

  • express 2012 is free, and you can get it straight from microsoft;

    the enterprise evaluation edition is also free, but it expires after a while.

    both of those you can google for the links

    the Developer 2012 runs about $50 dollars or so,and you can get it straight from microsoft, Amazon, you name it.

    i paid 44 plus shipping from some Amazon partner, i think.

  • Developer Edition for 2008 was not free. It cost money. Maybe you're thinking of Express 2008.

  • Thanks everyone.

    So I can use Express 2012 free on a dev machine, right? Or buy the developer edition for about 50$.

    Yep. Developer Edition is only *almost* free. Here's a link to it on Amazon.

    (note that not all of these include the Media, so you may still have to download it)
