kanishkEnterprise Edition is not compatible with Windows XP Home edition. Developer edition is however, and has the same features. Enterprise Edition requires a server OS, but enterprise edition of the OS is not required, so you can install SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition on Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition if you should desire.|||dear sir, if you are sure that the ms sql server 2000 developer edition...is compatible with winxp home edition then where can i download it??

It's available from your sofware dealer. SQL Server Developer edition is not free. And yes, I am sure that it runs on Windows XP Home: SQL Server 2000 System Requirements (http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/previousversions/system-requirements.mspx).

Ms SQL 2005 express edition connectivity problem

Hi, i just currently install the MS SQL 2005 express edition in my Window XP home edition and the problem is, when i netstat in the command prompt, i couldnt find any port listening to port:1433

i have an application wanting to connect to the MS SQL but it came out:

Error connecting to database using: "jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://localhost:1433"

i dunnu what the problem is but im suspecting it is not listening to port:1433

anyone can help me please....

MS SQL 2005 express only allow local connection by default. No TCP. You need to enable TCP. One mean is to use sql server configuration manager.
