Chapter 9: Installing Microsoft SQL Server
SQL Server Support Overview
B.A.S.I.S. ET Third Edition supports Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (version 8.x).
There are three different editions of SQL Server 2000: Enterprise edition,
Standard edition, and Personal edition. BEST supports the all three editions,
but only distributes the Standard edition or Personal edition, depending on
the operating system you use. SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3a should also be
installed. Before you attempt to install SQL Server, make sure that your system
meets the following hardware and operating system requirements.
Hardware Requirements
The following table shows the hardware requirements that must be met by the
computer that SQL Server will be installed on. Note that more memory may be
required depending on the operating system requirements. Actual hard disk
requirements depend on the applications and features that you choose to install.
