More than ever developers are leveraging
relational databases to provide a rich
end-user experience. SQL Server Express
helps developers build robust and
reliable applications. Too often
database systems are overly complex for
building simple applications. Microsoft
Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server
Express reduce this complexity by
providing a simple but powerful
development environment for building
data-driven applications. Developers can
design schemas, add data, and query
local databases, all inside the Visual
Studio 2005 environment. If developers
need more advanced database features,
then SQL Server Express can be
seamlessly upgraded to more
sophisticated versions of SQL Server.
In today's fast changing world even the
most basic Web sites need to be
interactive. SQL Server Express and
Visual Web Developer provide a simple
integrated platform for building dynamic
and reliable Web sites. Together these
two products provide the tools necessary
to build, deploy, and manage Web sites.
SQL Server Express includes many
features attractive for Web development.
It uses the advanced query optimization
engine of SQL Server 2005 to deliver
fast performance. Full-text search is
included to provide powerful query
capability over textual data. In
addition, databases can easily be loaded
into a hosted environment through the
XCopy feature. Native XML support inside
the database ensures that your Web
environment can easily interoperate with
other applications through Web services.
