of the 8 versions of sql server 2000...

which one would I use to get used to the general interface of sql server pro
gramming on? -Standard and enterprise seem a little over the top for this p
urpose,
-it sounds like developer is for built for engineering 3rd party apps
-personal is geared toward roadwarriors...maybe it will work?The programming interface is basically the same on all versions. Developer
Edition is a full-featured edition, targeted at people who build ANY apps
for SQL Server not just ISVs if that's what you mean by 3rd party apps.
