[dba-SQLServer] SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition

Developer Edition is what comes with Office XP Developer, and I have
installed it on WinXP and Win2k without problems.  You do need to patch
it with the latest SQL 2000 service pack, of course.  Yes, it does have
the tools.  As far as I've ever been able to tell, it works perfectly
well but only on a local machine.  I've had no problems restoring a
device to get a backup from a server restored to my own laptop.

Does anyone have any experience with this? It's about $50 on Amazon. The
Microsoft web page says that it is compatible with Windows XP, but the
Amazon specs say no and one review said no. Who to believe? Also, does
anyone know if this includes the Query Analyzer, Enterprise Manager, and
visual DTS tools? That's what I would be buying it for, mostly. Amazon
says "get a taste of SQL Server Enterprise before buying it", but I
can't seem to find a list of the "restrictions" on this edition. Any
information appreciated.

Ron
