Installation Order: SQL and Visual Studio
May 12, 2008 1 CommentWhen building a new dev environment, there's an issue when you try to install Visual Studio followed by SQL Server because Visual Studio will install SQL Express if SQL server is not there. It causes some problems, so:
The preferred order of installation is:
- SQL Server 2005
- VS 2005

You know, the thing about SQL is, that there is virtually nothing that can replace it.
Does anyone know if a substitute exists for sql? I mean besides MS SQL and Oracle and all that jazz. Thanks.
