SQL Server 2005 Express restrictions and footprint
In a recent mail thread among RDs, a few thing about SQL Server 2005 Express (aka SSE) became clear:
- Yes SQL Server 2005 Express will be free, as opposed to Visual Web Developer 2005 Express or Visual C# 2005 Express whose price (or lack of it :-) is still being discussed.
- Restrictions:
- Maximum database size: 4 GB
- Maximum memory used: 1 GB

- Memory used: 8 MB without activity, and it will eat up memory as agressively as its major siblings
