I understand now. I don't mind spending $50 to get more features and ability to store more data.

>>It is kind of strange (to me) that the free version can be used for production but the one you pay for (even though it is only $50) is not ok for production. I consider using it every day on my PC not as production but rather as development (even though I use the data - like customer records and reports). So my production is not real production. Right now my "test" database is about 6 Gb (judging by the size of the backup). I wonder what is the max Database size of the Developer edition?
