SQL Server 2005 Express in ASP.NET (Overview)

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express is the version of SQL Server bundled with Visual Web Developer, it is a royalty-free database engine. We can download it and use it for free in your applications. We also can distribute the database in commercial applications that you produce for others without paying royalties to Microsoft (registration at the Microsoft site is required to do this).
SQL Server 2005 Express works with the Windows XP, Windows 2000, and the Windows 2003 operating systems. It requires the .NET Framework 2.0 to be installed on its host computer. Because its free product, Microsoft has limited some of its features to encourage you to upgrade to the full version of SQL Server 2005, for example Full-Text Search, Reporting Services, Analysis Services, Notification Services, English Query, Data Transformation Services, or OLAP and a SQL Server Express database can be no larger than 4 gigabytes. Furthermore, SQL Server Express is limited to using 1 gigabyte of RAM.
We can use three tools to create new database objects when using SQL Server 2005 Express. We can use the Database Explorer in Visual Web Developer, you can use the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express, and we can use the SQLCMD utility.
