MSDEGUI Description

The MSDEGUI was developed to be a small tool that uses ADO.NET to offer browsing of databases and tables, editing values and an SQL window to test queries. If you've upgraded to Visual Studio .NET, you may not be aware that you have a database server on your hard drive. If you go to /FrameworkSDK/Samples/Setup/msde, there you will find a file called InstallMSDE.exe, which installs the Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Edition. This is basically SQL Server 2000, but designed to work with no more than 5 concurrent users. As far as I can see, the point of this is to allow you as a developer to write code that utilises SQL Server, and then create a product for which your customer will need to buy SQL Server, without your having to make any changes. This is somewhat similar to Oracle, who give their full product away to developers to encourage use of their product.
