As today's computer applications continue to grow in complexity and in the amount of information they must store and manage, a stable and efficient database engine is a key ingredient for the overall success of any project. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (SQL Server Express) is a lightweight and "free" database engine. It replaces Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000). SQL Server Express is similar to SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition, but with some limitations on the memory, database, and schema features.
