Developer and Standard Edition

Hi All,
I have installed the Developer Edition on my computer and have been using
this SQL database for my project.
The SQL server Standard Edition is installed on the server and I need a SQL
client to be installed on my PC to be able to communicate with the SQL Server
on the server. This would be for another project. When once the SQL client is
installed on my PC, will I still be able use the Developer Edition on the
local mahine as before, for the first project?
Thanks
kd
I am not 100% sure what you are asking but if you already have the developer
edition installed on your PC then you most likely have the client tools such
as Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer loaded. You can point these to any
SQL Server you wish. In EM just right click on the server node and choose
Register a new server and follow the wizard. Just a word of caution when
developing on the Developer Edition where production is Std Edition.
Developer is essentially the same as Enterprise Edition so if you used any
of the EE features such as Indexed Views and such they will not work on Std
Edition. There are other optimizations as well so be sure to test under Std
Edition to be sure you are getting the results you want.
