Is the Microsoft SQL Server Workgroup edition 2005, only for large companies?”
Microsoft SQL Server Workgroup Edition 2005 32 Bit CD/DVD 5 Client Other products by Microsoft Platform: Windows Most Helpful Customer Reviews 3 of 4 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Entry-level solution, May 7, 2006 By Richard Turner (CA, USA) – See all my reviews Workgroup edition is an entry-level version of sql server 2005. I’ve used it successfully in our small departments, and for when I didn’t need BI. For heavy lifting, you’ll need a higher, more full-featured version. For BI (analysis services, reporting services, notification services, transformation services) you’ll need at least standard. To help get sql server set up and configured properly I relied heavily on Stanek’s SQL Server 2005 Administrator’s Pocket Consultant, at just under 600 pages it packs in lots of detail.
