Hello David,

thanks for replying, my last question was a bit thick I suppose "Does
2000 Edition has more functions than the latest one?", a newer version
is always better. What was the licence policy of SQL Server 2000 Dev.
Edition? Do you remember?

And a 2nd one, did microsoft stop selling SQL Server 2000 Editions?

PS: Please excuse my english.

Thanks in advance!
