Whats extra in SQL Server7 ENTERPRISE

[J Staniforth]

Please could anyone outline what features the Enterprise version of SQL Server 7 has above the "standard" version.
It is difficult to determine from MS web site, is it just that it's can perform better or does it include more features such datawarehousing?
Any assistance would be most gratefully received.

Regards,
John.

Thanks that helps (navigating MS web site can be a maze).
But I still find the info ambiguous - basically we probably don't need the power to have thousands of concurrent users.
So all I want to know is whether any features/functionality are ommited from the standard version.
Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks again,
John.

Use SQL 7 EE if you need cluster support, multiple processor ( >2 ) support, large memory support ( >2 GBs ), and need to access terabytes ( > 1000 Gigabytes) of data.

The specific CPU and memory numbers might not be accurate, but the big one is the clustering support. If you are going to have a cluster, then you need the EE. In most cases, the standard edition would be sufficient.

Thanks very much indeed.
