Hello, I'm curious if SQL Server installs by default in SBS2k3 Premium. If so, what is it's function? Thanks.

Hi Fidel,

No, SQL and ISA don't get installed automagically. On the Premium Technologies CD you will find the Premiuminstallstep.htm. This will tell you step by step how to install those programs.

SQL will give you the Full Text search on the Companyweb.

SQL Server also allows you to run more 'professional' level databases (more robust, secure, scalable etc.) than programs like Access.  Although there's a tool to 'promote' an Access database to SQL Server, there's quite a lot more to it and a degree of knowledge of SQL and relational database techniques is required.  It's capable of some pretty flexible stuff and is worth learning.  I never use Access - places where I've supported databases (I'm a DBA) we always have horrific problems with Access, less so with SQL Server (when designed and configured properly!).

Yes, SQL is the better way. This site and forum is completely data driven and runs on SQL 2000 Service Pack 4.
