| Hello,I am trying to write a java program that will connect to a SQL Server DB, run some queries, pull some data and try to find some trends in the data.The problem is that I have a copy of the Database, but I don't have SQL Server. I have been given a backup copy of the database though (SQL Server 2000). I know that in addition to the JDBC driver for SQL Server 2000 I will need something else to be able to access the DB. They have stopped selling SQL Server 2000, also the software tends to be a little expensive.Is there anything else that I can use that will allow me the functionality og being able to run queries and pull data from the DB using JDBC? Will installing MSDE allow me to do that? Or is there someother software that will allow me to do that? Or do I have no other option excelt installing SQL Server 2000? Any help is greatly appreciated.Thanks |

| You can retore the SQL Server 2000 backup into SQL Server 2005.You can buy the Developer Edition of SQL Server 2005 for about $50 US. It is a completely full featured version of SQL Server 2005, with the exception that it is licensed only for development.You can also download and use the free version, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.CODO ERGO SUM |
