Brand Details

Type: Product

Description: SQL Server Express is a free version of Microsoft's SQL Server relational database management system. It's designed for smaller-scale applications and development, suitable for desktop, web, and mobile applications. While it has limitations compared to paid versions (like database size and memory limits), it offers many of the same features and is a good option for small businesses, developers, and those learning SQL Server. Many ISVs embed it in their software because it's free to distribute. There is also a lighter version, SQL Server Express LocalDB, designed for developers and ISVs, which runs within applications rather than as a separate service.
