Try SQL server express. It is free. The only real limit when dealing with CF is a 2 gig database size.

I work for UNC Chapel Hill and I made the suggestion to the powers that be that we set up this new box to house (or hose depending on how this all washes out) some internal Coldfusion applications I am working on. This box will not be a dedicated SQL box but will have Windows Server 2003 standard along with Coldfusion 7 standard on it. That being said, I know this is isn't any where near best practice for this kind of thing. Dealing with tight purse strings here so I take what I can get. My experience with SQL Server has been limited to 7 and 2000, the latter is what we currently have a copy of for this. I am not a DB admin by any stretch, I just opened my mouth so here I am. I'm looking for some recommendations as to sticking with 2000 or moving up to whatever the current version is bearing in mind bewildered Bob here will be doing the install and maintenance :). Pros/Cons anything at all will help me at this point.
