SQL SVR 2000 ENT ED CD NT/W2K W/ 25U CAL
The next generation database for the Business Internet, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is the fastest way to deliver the next generation of scalable Web applications with Windows DNA. It dramatically reduces the time required to bring e-commerce, data warehousing, and line-of-business applications to market, while offering the scalability needed for the most demanding environments. The foundation for Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) and data mining is included and fully integrated with SQL Server.
1 The Best Database Management System Money Can Buy
Don't take my word for it, I'm biased. Check out the independent performance and price/performance figures at the Transaction Processing Council's site, www.tpc.org. SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition simply blows the competition out of the water. For both performance and price, no other solution makes business or technical sense on the Windows platform. I've used this product in production and development since the beta 1 release (that's how stable it is, even then) back in mid-December 1999, and I can only say that it is reliable, very, very fast, highly scalable and easy to administer. Plus, independent productivity assessments have shown it is 3-4 times faster to get something done in SQL Server than it's nearest rival. That's a lot of consultancy bills saved! I've been a Senior DBA/Software Project Manager for seven years now, and I'd not even consider another relational database system now, because nothing gets even close. A mature product which gets better with every release.

2 OLAP functions rock
The data mining is really cool for data warehousing. No one else has this stuff right now.

this product is terrible. the studio graphical tools are very poor and smp support is not so good.
