SQL server express is cut down, don't think you can do DTS transfers amongst other things. Pretty sure you can with developer, but not positive.

Oracle is a different product, like comparing Word and OpenOffice writer thingy. They do the same, albeit slightly differently. There is also MySQL, which again is very similar. If you don't know what you need, go for developer from those 3.

Three of these products are free to anyone anyway and can be downloaded from Microsoft.

Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/express/default.aspx

SQL Server Express
http://www.microsoft.com/express/sql/

Virtual PC 2007
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

And in fact you can download a number of other Microsoft products for free from here (all legal and genuine, these are often cut down "express" versions)

Methinks I'll be downloading these this weekend. Already got VS but I think it's 2003 or something, and it never hurts to have a pile of free software :P Especially for final year :D (Next year, grr...)

H+R.

Also, there's free E-books for Visual Studio 08 and SQL Server 08 - Get it down ye!

For Kapows thought I'd say depending on what you are looking to do with the software depends which you would want to look at, if its for career etc especially for large scale data storage far more companies use Oracle and it is a much desirable package to have experience with in the BI (Business Intelligence) area, if you are looking at that sort of thing have a look at SAS as well. Good luck, you want any more info drop me a pm.

Ach pants, I work in software testing but I want to learn more about development so this would be ideal for me as it'll only be used at home. However I guess I wouldn't qualify for the really useful free s/w despite that I'm using it for educational purposes rather than business.

Meh.

Oh yeah, does the link not work for anyone else?
