Hi all

Been awhile since i posted here but here goes.
Got my hands on SQL Server 2008 for awhile now and i am using developer
edition for work.

However, lately i have had the misfortune to use features in my work for a
client that is only available for enterprise edition while the client is
running a standard edition server. Haven't been a big issue but i am just
surprised that a edition feature isn't available in developer edition to
simulate different editions for developers.

Is there way to accomplish this or just for me to keep remembering the
differences?!?

Regards,
Rikard

I think you'll just need to trust your memory :-)

Otherwise, if you have an MSDN subscription, you can install other SQL
Server editions for non-production use under that EULA without additional
cost.

Hope this helps.

Don't use the developer edition.
Use SQL Express - then you won't have the problem.
