thanks
I'm running sql server 2k over win2k at work, but I wanted to run it at home (over XP). Do you know if any newer version of SQL server would run better on XP?
thanks again

Windows XP is definately not a server operating system. Those are heavily OPTIMIZED, so Microsoft knows, why they don't want such server applications to be installed on a workstation/consumer operating system.

But Microsoft offers "Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine" for free. It works on Desktop OSes, and is probably just right for what you want to do, it's power is similar to the "real" SQL Server 2000, it just has some restrictions.
