| HelloI would like to develop and manage a SQL 2008 database from an XP client PC. I have gathered that SQL Server 2008 does not allow database creation on an XP machine, so I became interested in installing SQL 2008 Compact edition. However, once I've installed the compact edition, I cannot locate a file or an icon to launch it. So my questions are twofold:1. Can you create databases with SQL 2008 Compact on an XP client PC?2. How do you start SQL 2008 Compact?Your replies would be appreciated.Thank you |

| The only version of SQL that won't install on XP is Enterprise edition. That, as the lop-level edition runs on server OS only. All other versions can install and, once they've installed, have all the functionality normally provided by that edition. For the most part, editions don't have different features on different operating systems.--Gail ShawSQL Server MVP |
