SQL Server 2008

I've installed the Visual studio 2010 beta and I can not get SQL server to work it ask for the installation media directory. I've looked and looked but can not figure out where the directory is because it was a download install. source

I am looking for a book that only addresses the new development features of Sql Server 2008. I had read "A First Look at Sql Server 2005 for Developers" years ago but cannot find an equivalent book. source

Now does the express version limit the amount of customers that can be on my site at once? I dont need more than say 1 or 2 users actually logging into access at any given time but I would have hundreds of customers on the website at once. Also i think the only other thing i used in SQL Server 2000 was the DTS option to export data to a text file about once a month or so. source

Unless you are doing something very very unusual or something hacky, the deployment will be very easy. Anything that I know of that you can do in the Express version works exactly the same in the full version. All different ways of connecting to the database are available in both the Express version and full version. You don't need any database file to make a connection, unless the framework that you use requires it. You always connect to the database server through the network, never through the file system. When you deploy the application you just change the connection string so that it points to the live server. If the login is set up the same way on that server, it works without any other changes. source

I have installed on Windows 7 Ultimate right now. It may not be officially supported unless you're using Windows Server, but it does work. source
