Which version of SQL Server 2008 should I install for development purposes?
I assume the release of the developer, but ...
What am I doing (SQL Server 2005 so far):
- Design databases to use our web server (which runs SQL Server Express)
- Manage and expand this database using SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio)
- SQL Server Database Development as a Base for MS Access Applications
OTHER SECONDARY QUESTIONS:
Can I install SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008 on the same machine?
The reason for the question is that we are in the process of updating the web server from the virtual server to the cloud server (Host: www.orcsweb.com). And, since all of our databases are fairly simple, SQL Server Express 2008 is installed, so future updates are less drastic.
Do you expect any crashes in really simple databases by upgrading from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008?
