I have been using Sql Server 2008 express on my PC. I have a data table that I wish to import that is >4GB, and Express can't handle it. What SQL server product will handle data tables of this size and allow me to run it on a PC?

Thanks

Any non-Express edition will handle it. You could also split the data into multiple databases.

Thanks robvolk.

Does this include SQL Server 2008 Developer? Do you know of a site that explains what Developer can do?

developer, is used to develop your design db on your workstation.

When its ready to go live, you can export it to a server environment which runs, either

express, workgroup, web, standard or enterprise

Developer edition is same as that of Enterprise except for "Licensing". Developer is for Development purpose, you CAN'T go live with a developer edition.
