Running SQL 7.0+SP4 on XP Pro...

Is anyone doing this successfully? Were there any problems getting up and
running? Any software patches needing to be downloaded to make this happen?

We have been using Access. I know, it's cheesy, but for the simplistic data
model we've used up until now it worked. However, we've outgrown the simple
data model and now need more full-fledged queries and stored procs).

I have an old copy of SQL Server 7.0 laying around but wanted to get some
feedback from folks who have been using it with XP Pro before installing and
getting into a bunch of potential headaches. Any feedback concerning this
both welcomed and appeciated in advance.

Cheers!David,

It works fine, however it will install the desktop edition since you are not
running a version of Windows Server. Also, if you are good in Access, there
are a couple ways in which you can still leverage that knowledge. I favor
using Access Projects for group apps when the budget doesn't have room for
..NET. However, you can use the regular old .mdb's and link the SQL tables
to do things the way you are used to doing them.

Good luck!
