Does anyone know if the 2008 Developer edition of SQL Server allows you to have multiple developers access it on the same server? I called Microsoft, but the guy I talked to didn’t seem to know the answer. Has anyone tried it?
I am a developer that uses the Express edition now on one server and all four of our developers use it in our LAN. If the Developer edition allows me to do the same thing, but with all the extra features of Enterprise, then for $50 I’ll buy it.
Sure – the Developer edition is really just the Enterprise edition without the licensing rights to use it in production or roll it out in a system. But it’s a full-fledged SQL Server, which supports concurrent users and tons of databases on a single server.
Every dev can have their own database (e.g. APP_JOE, APP_PETE, APP_SCOTT etc.) or they can access a common development database – whatever strikes your fancy.
