Without going too far back, we have an SQL Server And then five years later, , and then and then every even numbered year. No idea why they did that, still confuses people today.

This web page shows that there are four,Enterprise, Standard, Business Intelligence and Express, Enterprise being the very top, very expensive. Business Intelligence is then the next version. It has most of the tools that Enterprise has. Standard is a lower version, it excludes some of the more high-end stuff that you need for multiple calls, multiple machines and then Express is the free version. This gives you most of the tools that the Enterprise version gives you with just one caveat.

It cannot be used for real life situations, it cannot be installed on a production server. You can see it gives you the Business Intelligence tools,so if you are going down the SQL Server route, if you want to do exams , and , , then my advice to you is to get the Developer edition. Now, make sure you instal Service Pack 2. Obviously Microsoft have done some tweaking. Editions and supported features of SQL Server System Configuration Checker requirements and blocking issues.

This article discusses various methods that you can use to shrink the tempdb database in Microsoft SQL Server. Before you shrink the tempdb database by using the methods that are described in this article, please be aware of the following:.

The tempdb size is reset to the last configured size that is, to the default size, or the last size that was set by using alter database after each restart. Therefore, unless you have to use different values or obtain immediate respite, you do not have to use any of the procedures that are documented in this article. You can wait for the next restart of the SQL Server service for the size to decrease.

Larger tempdb database sizes will not adversely affect the performance of SQL Server. In SQL Server and later versions, shrinking the tempdb database is no different than shrinking a user database except for the fact that tempdb resets to its configured size after each restart of the instance of SQL Server.

It is safe to run shrink in tempdb while tempdb activity is ongoing. However, you may encounter other errors such as blocking, deadlocks, and so on that can prevent shrink from completing. Therefore, in order to make sure that a shrink of tempdb will succeed, we recommend that you do this while the server is in single-user mode or when you have stopped all tempdb activity. The tempdb database is a temporary workspace. SQL Server uses tempdb to perform many tasks. Among those tasks are the following:.

Storage of version records when snapshot isolation levels or read-committed snapshot isolation levels are used. SQL Server records only enough information in the tempdb transaction log to roll back a transaction, but not to redo transactions during database recovery. Additionally, you do not have to log information to redo any transactions because tempdb is re-created every time that you restart SQL Server. Therefore, it has no transactions to roll forward or to roll back.

When SQL Server starts, tempdb is re-created by using a copy of the model database, and tempdb is reset to its last configured size. By default, the tempdb database is configured to autogrow as needed. Therefore, this database may unexpectedly grow in time to a size larger than the desired size. A simple restart of SQL Server resets the size of tempdb to its last configured size.

In SQL Server and later versions, you can use any of the following methods to alter the size of tempdb. The "Currently allocated space" value is always pulled from sys. To find the correct size of tempdb files after a shrink operation, execute the following statement in SQL Server Management Studio:.

The first three methods are discussed here.
