Does anyone know if there is a way to constrain SQL Server Developer Edition (2005 or 2008) to only allow use of features that are in the Standard Edition? This is the Edition on a clients server and we want to make sure that no-one makes use of any Enterprise-only features.

there's no method to do this other than checking the docs what is in dev edition that is not in standard and not using those features.

however, note the differences are mainly for admins. i don't think that there are any T-SQL or other featuress for SQL developers that in dev edition are not in standard edition.

Thanks, I thought that might be the case.

The kind of features I was thinking were mainly around SSIS (fuzzy lookups/grouping) and SSRS (data driven subscriptions). Possibly online indexing too.
