Database requirements
Gateway 2007 is supplied with SQL Server™ 2005 Express Edition (SQL Express). The following are some quick facts:
- SQL Express provides for up to 4 GB per database
- There are built-in user interface tools
- Gateway 2007 can still be used with MSDE 2000 if your database is smaller than 2 GB and if your database server computer is not running Windows Vista™
If your office has more complex requirements, such as website integration, or if your database is larger than 4 GB, you will need to acquire a full version of SQL Server™ 2005.
