[Mono-list] Databind to SQLServer

[James Berry]

MSDE does not emulate Sql Server.  It is SQL Server.  Just a cut down, =
free version of SQL Server.  There are database size limits, but you're =
unlikely to reach these - the main disadvantage is it doesn't come with =
Enterprise Manager or Query Analyser, but there are lots of third party =
tools which replicate this funcitonality (including vs.net itself!)

MSDE installs into the same directories as SQL Server - you can even =
upgrade from MSDE to Sql Server just by installing over the top.

I know this is (slightly) off-topic, but it's quite important because =
MSDE is quite widely used, and is likely to become even more so because =
it is just so good for it's price.

Best wishes
James
