Hi, Earlier today I was trying to install what I thought was SQL2005 Standard 64-bit but proved to be Enterprise Edition. I uninstalled but now I find I have Standard Edition for the database engine but Enterprise Edition for the Client Tools. Anybody have any idea what is different about Enterprise Client Tools from Standard Client Tools? Thanks Chris

My first reaction is that there isn't any. Possibly that in Standard Edition there is no support for Enterprise-only features, but it's not apparent why Microsoft would make the test matrix bigger because of that. So I stand by my first reaction, there isn't any. -- Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, esquel@sommarskog.se Links for SQL Server Books Online: SQL 2008: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/cc514207.aspx SQL 2005: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/bb895970.aspx SQL 2000: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/previousversions/books.mspx
My guess would be there is no difference as well. -- Andrew J.
