Editors’ Review

Download.com staff
This is the no-cost edition of SQL Server, aimed at developers and smaller projects. It handles database creation, management, and querying without costing you a dime. If you're just starting out, it's worth a look.

Top Recommended Alternative

  • Pros

    • Totally free to use, which is hard to argue with | Good toolset for basic database management | Integrates well with other Microsoft development tools | Supports many programming languages

  • Cons

    • 10 GB database size limit feels very restrictive | Can't handle really demanding workloads | Might outgrow it faster than you think | The full SQL Server is a different beast altogether
