As far as i know, they're completely compatible.

It runs fine.However, I think you need SQL Server 2000 PERSONAL, as opposed to STANDARD or ENTERPRISE. I stand to be corrected, but I believe this is the case.

I'm using SQL Server Personal on my PC. No real differrences btween it and standard.

I am taking SQL Server 2000 training course. I asked my instructor

whether i could install SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition in Windows

XP Pro., what she recommanded was the same as Jim said --- Personal

Edition is a good choice. However, i only have enterprise edition,

somehow, i am afraid that if i dont' install SQL Server correctly,

it may damage xp , actually, i just guess .

It is very painful to reinstall xp on my machine cuz it takes almost

one hour to finish.
