Hi,

Can i use MS SQL 7.0 on Windows XP O/S to access
data/communicate with DB on the Hosting providers Server?
or is MS SQL 7.0 only compatible with Windows NT. Do you
know where I can find a Trial Version of MS SQL 7.0?

Can anybody help me...

Thanks a lot
Derek

Can I use Enterprise Manager of SQL 2K to communicate with
SQL 7.0 DB's which are on the hosting providers server?

Thanks Vishal...1 more doubt. Its my first experience in
SQL!

I was going through the previous link you gave me
regarding SQL 7 System Req. and i noticed that there are 2
types. One for Server and One for Desktop. Now, the
hosting provider has SQL 7 in his server and does that
mean i am the client (in that case, it mentiones that SQL
7 is compatible for Windows XP Desktop). So when i buy SQL
7, is there an option to install only tools that i(client)
will need to access the DB with the Host or do i need to
install the full product? The only thing I need to do is
access certain data that will be stored in the DB at the
host (thats the data, which goes from website and is
stored in DB in the Host Server, which i need to access)
and i will also be exporting xl sheets. Do i just need the
Enterprise manger for the above functions or anything
else? Is the Enterprise manager also know as "Client
Tools"? Everything is already set up by another person on
the Host Server (SQL 7.0). I am just going to acces it to
take info or upload new updated xl sheets. Till i get my
SQL 7 can i use SQL 2K trial to perform these functions?

You help and guidance in the above will be highly
appreciated
Thanks
Derek
