    Question Standard vs Enterprise edition

    Recently, I worked on installing SQL Server 2000 into a clustered environement. I installed the Standard edition, tested it, and everything works fine. However, in reading some information on Enterprise Edition from Microsoft, I see where it says to install Enterprise Edition when using a clustered, or failover, environement. Can anyone give me a layman's explanation as to why this is? Everything is functioning just fine with the Standard Edition installed.

    I really don't want to re-install if I don't have to.

    Thanks in advance.

    Sql2k standard edition is not cluster aware and doesn't have failover feature. Besides it can use upto 2gb memory only.

    Did you install as cluster environment or as a standalone server on a cluster?

    Did you try failing over to your secondary node? (I dont think you installed it as active/passive. )


    you need enterprise edition
