SQL Server 2005 Question

Hi there...just wondering if the MS SQL Server 2005 Express Manager CTP is
the same thing as the beta? If I install Express Manager, am I getting a
full version of 2005, or just a new enterprise manager type tool?

Thanks.

Hi

It is just the tool to manage SQL Server Express 2005 (new MSDE). CTP =
Community Technical Preview = Beta.

Regards
Mike

Is the Express beta the only one available to the general public, or can I
find a beta for Standard or Enterprise edition?

If someone were to have installed the Express CTP on the same server that
was running SQL 2000 Enterprise, would that person now be limited to the
features of Express (db size limited to 4GB)?

Thanks.
