Sql server 2005 editions

  • HI there,

    And I'm basically a .net developer and working on SSIS and SSRS, for time being I installed Sql server 2005 enterprise edition but the pricing is very high. And I'm not sure does Standard edition provides SSIS, SSRS and SSNS. What do you suggest shall I go for Sql server Enterprise??

    Thanks

  • Developer edition offers all the features of enterprise, as a developer you would want to use this edition (hence its name 😉 )

    if you need a server installation to eventually go live then std edition is the way to go

    If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

  • Thanks for the time and pain to find the information and type it. I really appreciate your help. It really helped me out.

    Thanks once again.

  • You might want to consider getting the SQL 2008 Developer Edition instead. It's the same price and is compatible with SQL 2005.

    Just a thought. (Time for me to get my copy.)

  • To answer your original question, yes Standard Edition does include SSIS, SSRS, SSNS. Check out this link for a more comprehensive comparison:

    You can use the Developer Edition on your development computer, and then when the project goes live, use Standard Edition at your company's or client's site.

  • Just be sure that while using the developer edition that you don't use features that are not available in the standard edition if that is your target production environment.

  • Yes, I'm installing Developer edition on my machine for development and using Enterprise edition on the clients site during production.

    Thanks for the help.
