No. SQL Server 2005 Dev Edition is feature equivalent to SQL Server
2005 Enterprise. Other than the licence the only difference I'm aware

doesn't

Whenever possible please post enough code to reproduce your problem.
Including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements usually helps.
State what version of SQL Server you are using and specify the content
of any error messages.
