I am running windows xp pro on my home computer and would like to test an
database driven ASP .NET web application. I need to be able to create an SQL
database which will be assessed by the web application. I already have a
local IIS Server up and running.

At work, I use SQL Enterprise Manager. I wanted to download it on my home
computer but cannot find it anywhere on the net.

How can I test my web applications at home on a person computer?

Thanks.
Jess

Correct. Enterprise Manager is not freeware, but you would have to buy
a license of SQL 2000 Developer Edition.

Then again, you could download SQL Express which is the free version of
SQL 2005, and to which you can separate download SQL Server Management
Studio Express. You find it all at
