Features:
* XML stored procedure support * XML update grams * Large memory and SMP
support * Integrated data mining, full text search, English (natural
language) Query * Indexed (materialized) views and integrated visual
studio graphical tools The next-generation database for the Business
Internet, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is the fastest way to deliver the
next generation of scalable Web applications with Windows DNA. It
dramatically reduces the time required to bring e-commerce, data
warehousing, and line-of-business appications to market, while offering
the scalability needed for the most demanding environments. The
foundation for Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) and data mining is
included and fully integrated with SQL Server.
System requirements:
* 166 MHz or faster Pentium, Pentium PRO, Pentium III, or the minimum
processor required for your operating system (varies for SQL Server) *
Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 (Microsoft Windows NT Server Enterprise
Edition 4.0, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, or Windows 2000 Data Center
Server) * Note: Windows 2000 Server is required for some SQL Server 2000
features * 180 MB hard disk space for full installation; 50 MB for
Analysis Services; 12 MB for English Query * CD-ROM drive *
Miscellaneous: * No other network software is required, unless you are
using Banyan VINES or AppleTalk ADSP * Novell NetWare client support is
provided by NWLink * Supports the following clients: Windows NT
Workstation, Windows 2000 Pro, Windows 98, Windows 95, Macintosh, OS/2,
and Unix. Unix requires ODBC client software from a third-party vendor.
* Microsoft Access 2000 requires the installation of either Microsoft
Office 2000 Service Release 1 or Access 2000 Service Release 1 to
operate correctly with SQL Server 2000 (if you are running an earlier
version of Access 2000, you cannot test ADP applications against SQL
Server 2000, or access database diagrams, stored procedures, table
designs, or view designs). * When you run Access 2000 with Service
Release 1, you can test ADP applications. You can also alter database
diagrams, stored procedures, table designs, or view designs, but you
cannot save any changes. A future Access Service release will allow
limited ability to save changes. * When you run Microsoft Visual Studio
6.0, you cannot access database diagrams, stored procedures, table
designs, or view designs in SQL Server 2000. Visual Studio 6.0 Service
Pack 4 allows you to alter database diagrams, stored procedures, table
designs, or view designs, but you cannot save any changes. A future
Visual Studio service pack will allow limited ability to save changes. *
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 is required for all installations of
Microsoft SQL Server 2000, except for the Connectivity Option, which
requires Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 with Service Pack 2. Internet
Explorer is required for Microsoft Management Console (MMC) and HTML
Help. A minimal install is sufficient, and Internet Explorer does not
need to be your default browser. |
