That's not very likely. Any serious size database is gonna require a
version of SQL Server that is beyond SQL Server Express specifications
and Express is the only free version of SQL Server.

Ok, but I want it just for testing, I do not want to do anything serious
with it. Just connecting to it from Access and trying some things.

Thank you so much, but I have already tried that and did not find anything
that worked. I hoped you would know something else that could not be
found right away by Google, but thanks anyway.

If it is just for testing you could simply download VMWare player and
MSSQL 2008 Express and create your own testing environment.

I know I can do that but I want to test from an external host, and maybe
different PCs which are not on the same network.

I do not see how that is free because all the package deals are with money?!

Possible server bug, would welcome your views SQL Server Hi all, I have run into a bug and AFAICS it is not me (you may well decide otherwise though). Setup is Win7, 32-big, dual core and sufficient memory, sql server 2008 R2, patched to SP1 (bug appears pre and post patch). select @@version -> Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP1) - 10.50.2500.0 (Intel X86) Jun 17 2011 00:57:23 fields (minclassdata and maxclassdata) which should, if present, never be the same, so let us find if there any rows where they differ: select * from numeric_cols_diffs_classdefault where minclassdata <> maxclassdata -> Msg 8114

Different Collations SQL Server I have one question. I have varchar columns in table1 and table2. When you have there isome performance difference and can you explain a bit? My thinking: As I know, SQL always converts(in background) all data in unicode, if they are in ASCII(varchar), before working with them. So, if columns are in ACSII(varchar), SQL must first convert both columns to unicode and the collation does not impact the performance there is difference. Is this true and if not, what is wrong?
