Even though Microsoft claims that is edition can be used only for small applications, a smart design and appropriate caching will make this a smart choice for several types of applications. Several websites have switched from MS Access or MySql to SQL Server 2005 Express since it is free and offers lot of features of SQL Server 2005.

SQL Server Express is free and can be redistributed (subject to some agreement), and functions as the client database, as well as a basic server database. SQL Server Express is an ideal choice for deploying with small client-server applications as well as small web sites.

Among various versions mentioned above, SQL Server 2005 Expression is the only free version. Enterprise and standard editions can cost several thousand dollars depending on the number of users and number of CPUs in the system.
