>>Hi,
>>
>>A customer wants me to buy SQL Server from Microsoft for them, install it, and use with my VFP application. My questions are:
>>1. What version should I suggest (SQL 2012?). Currently my app works with SQL 2005 and SQL 2008 but I never tested on 2012.
>>2. What type of license. I don't want to offer them express edition.
>>3. What would be the approximate cost of SQL Server?
>>4. How much time (hours) should I estimate it would take me to install and set up their SQL Server? (this would be done via remote connection since they are out of state).
>>
>>TIA for any suggestions.
>
>We have an agreement with MS (I can't remember what was it's name), buying SQL SERVER with a discount. License just valid when customer use this SQL SERVER with just our bundled application. We usually prefere cpu based license.
>SQL SERVER install is so so easy and fast, not like ORACLE.
>I think so prices would be different in USA.
Thank you for your input.
