5.0 out of 5 stars Easier to Sit at the Big Table, September 10, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Microsoft has done a clever thing with their Developer tools: they've recognized that it's more important to make it easy to put the product in the hands of someone who'll use it than it is to make huge sweeping profits off of every buyer. SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition provides all that you will need to learn and use SQL Server 2008: all that's missing here compared to the full Enterprise Edition are some of the Analytics tools and advanced features that, if you need them, you've already done all you need to do in this copy of the database, anyway (analytics is typically only critical to an Enterprise-level shop, who will most likely have full licensed server versions of SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition).

As a database technology, SQL Server 2008 has come into its own, finally being feature-rich enough and capable enough to be compared to Enterprise big-guns like Oracle. Microsoft are also nudging their way into SAP/Business Objects territory, making ancillary activities like Reporting and Transformations much easier to perform. The SQL Server 2008 interface is powerful, it is surprisingly easy to use, and installation and maintenance really do seem to be a breeze. You also get useful features like the SQL Server Books Online to help you learn, integration with Visual Studio to speed up your development time, and some surprisingly simple interfaces for doing powerful transforms/ETL like the Business Intelligence Development Studio.

If you're a developer, and you found downloading and installing the free version(s) of SQL Server 2008 to not meet your needs (or in my case, be fraught with problems), you can't argue with the price. This product works well to get you fairly far towards "guru", and can help teach old Database Dogs new tricks. :) You should be advised that this product is only intended for learning and working in a development environment and should NOT be used to deploy and/or support Production data or applications.

5.0 out of 5 stars Basically Enterprise with Limited Connections, May 14, 2009
By G. Georgiades (Elmhurst, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This has all the features of enterprise edition but it limits the number of connections.

What can I say. Succinctly, it is the best database solution for the price. If you don't need many simultaneous connections (max 2) this has everything.

I use it for analysis work.

5.0 out of 5 stars I would have appreciated a reference quide, August 30, 2009
By Laurence S. Martin (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The product SQL Server Developer Edition is excellent but it arrived in a large box containing only one DVD. I am lucky that I am an experienced user, I was able to install it without a reference guide. There is information available on the internet but a quick reference would have saved me time and energy.
