• MS - SQL has 3 editions
  • Free edition has many limitations - Data storage capacity is 4GB
  • Standard edition is sufficient for our requirement
  • Enterprise edition is too costly
• Development edition is not required since we will mostly be working remotely. Else we can use Express edition - free.
• Per processor licensing model is not required as we have just 5 computers.
• CAL licensing model works better and cheap for our requirement.
