  Hi There SQL Master,

  Why Standard Edition as opposed to Workgroup Edition? The Workgroup Edition more than cover the limits of our physical server. Does the Standard Edition do something that Workgroup doesn't?

  Please advice!

  Thanks

  Standard Edition does many things that Workgroup doesn't. Microsoft has a side-by-side feature comparison here for 2008: http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/editions.aspx

  and here for 2005: http://www.microsoft.com/Sqlserver/2005/en/us/Compare-Features.aspx
