VB and SQL Editions

[Dreamer2007]

I run a VB 6.0 professional on an SQL 2000 Server database. Which edition is better epecially between Standard and Developer for 20 workstations?

[Christian Graus]

VB6 is rubbish, no matter what version. It's obsolete, and unsupported. I don't see how the number of workstations it runs on makes any difference ?

Fine VB6 is rubbish but then which edition of SQL 2000 is the best for a server with over 15 workstations?

[Christian Graus]

Well, it seems obvious that professional is better than standard. The price of standard is cheaper ( still $5000 per processor ). I used google ( you may have heard of it ) and quickly found this site: http://www.mssqlcity.com/Articles/Compare/sql_server_vs_access.htm[^] It seems that SS2000's number of users is limited only by available memory. I would guess that standard will be just fine, but if you own both, I don't see why you'd not go with professional.

The Developer edition is exactly that, NOT licensed for production use, but for development only. You have no choice but to go with at least the Standard edition.
