SQL Server 2008 Express

mike55 · May 10, 2008

I am after reading on the microsoft site (http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/express.aspx) that SQL Server 2008 Express is available free. Anyone know where it can be downloaded from? or if the Compact version would be more suitable. I am looking for a version that I can play with windows and web applications in my own free time.

Not sure where the SQL Server Express 2008 download is; however, here's the download page for the rest of the express products.

Maybe SQL Server Express is built into the bootstrapper for Web Developer or something. I'm not sure.

Don't think SQL 2008 has been released yet but you can download a CTP version form here.
