RE: Second thought about using MSDE

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Rene,

Thanks for the post.

>From your descriptions, I understood your concern is whether MSDE is
suitable for your lightweight corporate environment. If I have
misunderstood your concern, please feel free to point it out.

As I have said in my previous post, MSDE is designed to be distributed as a
part of applications that require a local data store. MSDE is one of the
best choice for lightweight corporate environment. Now, refer the article
below for more information aobut MSDE capabilities.

What are the limitations of MSDE?

However, MSDE is not designed for enterprise leve application. For
heavyweight corporate environment, we have to use SQL Server 2000 Standard
version or Enterprise version instead.

>> So what do you guys recommend? Is it a good idea to use MSDE with
commercial
>> applications to be used in all kind of environments (win 98, ME, XP
etc)?

Absolutely, it is a good idea.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation. If you have any questions or
concerns, don't hesitate to let me know. We are always here to be of
assistance!
