MSDE
(Micro Soft Data Engine) is a
free version of SQL Server 2000 that is
re-distributable with your software applications.
If
you already own MSDN or SQL Server 2000, then you already have
MSDE 2000 (it is included on the CD) and the right to
re-distribute your applications with the MSDE engine. Most
importantly, MSDE 2000 is functionally equivalent to SQL
Server 2000, applications can't tell the difference and they
run flawlessly on MSDE 2000.
This
allows you to distribute your SQL Server 2000 based
applications to customers that can't afford their own SQL
Server implementations. This means that a single program using
SQL Server can service both your large and small customers
without modification.
You
can find MSDE on your SQL Server 2000 CD, Windows XP Developer
CD, Office XP Developer CD, or in your MSDN kit.
InduSas
ERP can run on any version of SQL Server 2000, including MSDE
2000. We use MSDE 2000 on all of our development machines and
the application is fully MSDE2000 compliant.
You
can use the InduSas Mini ERP Software with MSDE 2000 for small
companies that don't need or can't afford the full SQL Server
2000 license. |
