Less is more with SQL Server Express?
MSDE was almost completely ignored by me as my work has been dominated by Web applications that had easy access to full-blown SQL Server 2000. With SQL Server 2005 on the scene, Microsoft has me kicking it like Tiny Elvis—that sucker’s huge!
The only need I see for SQL Server 2005 over SQL Express 2005 is the possibility that my legacy DTS packages need to migrate to SQL Server Integration Services. However, I may see later that the presence of the CLR in SQL Express may eliminate the need for many or all of my old DTS packages.## Resources
