Will, I pinched some of Gerald's popcorn and had a good read, thanks for all the replies. It has been very interesting reading the discussion on the various DB's.
Overall, SQL Server Express is coming out on top for me. My existing databases don't get anywhere near the 10GB limit, and I wouldn't have any issues transfering my existing code straight across, apart from one issue. I read that SQL 2008 Express does not include DTS/SSIS, can anyone confirm that please? Are there any other limitations / pitfalls of using SQL 2008 Express? I'm also wondering if there is much of a learning curve, not so much as for new features in 2008, but just in supporting my existing databases? I will need to run SQL 2008 Express alongside SQL 2000 on the same server while I port everything across. Any issues I might encounter?
