下载SQL Server 2008 R2 Express(数据库大小限制提高到10G)
MS SQL Server 2008 R2已经发布了,虽然是SQL Server 2008的第二次发布,但是有10项重大更新,我最感兴趣的是StreamInsight,参看对SQL Server 2008 R2感兴趣StreamInsight特性。对于开发和小型网站来说,SQL Server 2008 R2 Express是个更好的选择,不仅因为它是免费的,而且现在的单个数据库大小限制已经提升到10G,比之前的4G限制提升很大,具体可以参看SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Database Size Limit Increased to 10GB。可以通过http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/R2Downloads.aspx页面左侧的SQL Server 2008 R2 Express下载。
