You would probably be better off talking to a Microsoft representative because there are different licenses for SharePoint 2010, SQL Server 2008, etc. The representative should assist you with this information.

Hi Venu, If you purchased SharePoint Server 2010, by default SQL Server 2008 Native client will be available with this product. So no need to purchase SQL Server 2008 R2. Note: With this default product there is no SQL SERVER Management Studio Tool.

With Regards, Nanda

That is incorrect. SharePoint Server requires an instance of SQL Server before it can be installed and configured. It does not come with any flavor of SQL Server.

Failure is not an option; it's the default selection.

I meant that, SQL Server 2008 Native client will we available as prerequests, this you need to install it before install SharePoint Server 2010 and SharePoint Server will use this SQL instance while configuration. so no need to purchase SQL Server 2008 / R2 as a separate components unless if you need it separately for custom table creation for your application.

You are again not correct. The SQL Server Native Client will be installed for you in the case of a single server deployment, there is no choice or other action necessary by the user. In a single server deployment SQL Server Express will be installed. In this case I believe you are confusing SQL Server Manager with the SQL Server Native Client. The latter only provides the assembly necessary for ODBC, OLE DB and ADO.NET access to a SQL Server instance, it is not the database engine. The former will provide a UI for management of the SQL Server instances, it is not necessary in order to create tables. That can be done using command line tools or API. In a typical enterprise deployment SQL Server MUST be present and licensed separately from SharePoint. A single server deployment is NOT recommended for an enterprise and is typically only used for development systems.
