What edition of SQL Server 2005 do I need?

Hi,

I’m getting dedicated Windows 2003 Server Standard edition and I'll need MS SQL Server 2005 installed. I saw that the SQL 2005 Express Edition is free, and that is great, because I don't want to spend more on SQL Server 2005. The only question is what are the limitations of the SQL Express? I'm sure Microsoft limited some of the features there, otherwise they won't give it for free.

Any thoughts?

I'm quite sure that the max number of simultaneous connections is a big difference.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong Smile
