NEWBIE QUESTION?

I want to learn SQL Server 2005, so should I buy the Developer's
Edition, or just use the Express Edition?  Which would be more
beneficial?

Thanks,


Niraj

I haven't really begun to explore SQL 2005 yet, but the answer may
depend on your experience with SQL 2000.  If you are just starting out
with SQL Server in general, I probably would spend some time getting to
know the Express Edition first (just because it's free).  The Developer
Edition has all of the features of the Enterprise Edition, so when
you're ready to explore more advanced topics of SQL 2005, the $50 is
well spent.

Just my .02.
