SQL Server Express Edition is an easy-to-use, lightweight version of SQL Server designed for quickly building data-driven applications of all shapes and sizes, from small school projects to large-scale internet databases that can serve large communities of users. No matter if you are building a database that will be used on desktop PC projects, web apps, or internet servers, the tool Edition enables all professional users and novices who are still in the process of learning to access all the tools and services that will enable easy management, full control, total security of data and complete control over database deployment and live management.

The first steps in the creation of SQL Server Express Edition were made after the release of SQL Server 2000 who featured a very popular version of Microsoft Database Engine, a scale down version Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 or 2000 that was free for use for non-commercial uses. Microsoft quickly saw the popularity of this database management tool and expanded it into the app Edition that was introduced with the release of SQL Server 2005. Today, SQL Server Express Edition manages to give users many tools and features that are a basic part of their premium business solutions, including full access to the databases of up to 10 GB in size, multicore processing (on only 1 CPU), up to 1 GB of RAM utilization, and sadly no access to concurrent workload-governor that would enable this app to work much efficiently like its more expensive cousins.

The following is a list of features that help make SQL ServerExpress Edition the right choice for your needs:
