>Let me rephrase, why didn't you go with SQL Server 2008? Why start with SQL Server version that is outdated already?
Two reasons (I always have at least 2 reasons <g>):
1. I only have a legal copy of SQL Server 2005 DVD. I suppose SQL Server 2008 Dev Edition is not that expensive so I could have sprung for the money.
2. I just got an order to convert an old VFP 5 application to SQL Server backend and the customer specified that they have SQL Server 2005. I wanted to be sure that what I create will be compatible to their version of MS SQL.
