SQL Server 2005 Express Edition

Hi All,

I was thinking of building some web applications using Access. Firstly because I wasn't expecting overly heavy use of the applications, and secondly because I don't want to fork out for extra SQL Server hosting (though I can see why you would if you had a site that was getting a lot of use).

Anyway, I might be a little behind the times, as this week, I found out about SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, or SQL Server Express for short. For those of you who are even further behind than me, take a look here : http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/sql/default.aspx

The thing that always worried me about Access, was the potentialpain involved in upgrading an Access DB to a SQL Server DB should the need have ever arised. But to me, with SQL Server Express, it looks like you can throw Access in the bin, and develop on a "lite" version of SQL Server, with, I'm assuming,better performance than Access, and less stress should you ever need more than a single processor or 1Gb of RAM to handle the DB.

Is this too good to be true? Have I missed something? Has anybody tried SQL Server Express yet? What is the meaning of life?

Any thoughts gratefully recieved.
