    5 out of 5 starsEntry-level solution, 2006-05-08
    Workgroup edition is an entry-level version of sql server 2005. I've used it successfully in our small departments, and for when I didn't need BI. For heavy lifting, you'll need a higher, more full-featured version. For BI (analysis services, reporting services, notification services, transformation services) you'll need at least standard. To help get sql server set up and configured properly I relied heavily on Stanek's SQL Server 2005 Administrator's Pocket Consultant, at just under 600 pages it packs in lots of detail.

    5 out of 5 starsSQL Server 2005 Screams, 2006-02-22
    We switched to SQL Server 2005 for our platform because 2000 went end-of-life. Happy to report our interactions with the new version have been superb. The workgroup edition version, thankfully, now can use up to 3GB of RAM (something that required Enterprise in the previous version). We've also found the engine to appear to use significantly fewer resources (CPU, memory) than 2000 - which is great. Some of our functions increased in speed by 3-5X. A dramatic improvements. We're very impressed.
