Microsoft SQL Server Express is a free edition of Microsoft's SQL Server relational database management system (RDBMS), available for download, distribution, and use. It comprises a database specifically targeted for <a href="Embedded_system" title="Embedded system">embedded</a> and smaller-scale applications. The product traces its roots to the <a href="MSDE" title="MSDE">Microsoft Database Engine (MSDE)</a> product, which was shipped with SQL Server 2000. The "Express" branding has been used since the release of SQL Server 2005.

Microsoft SQL Server Express LocalDB is a version of Microsoft SQL Server Express, on-demand managed instance of the SQL Server engine. It is targeted to developers, and has the following restrictions: up to 10 GB database size and only local connections (network connections are not supported).<a href="#cite_note-Express_DB_LocalDB-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-Microsoft_Docs_2011-4">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Capabilities">Capabilities</h2></div>

SQL Server Express provides many of the features of the paid, full versions of Microsoft SQL Server database management system.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> However it has technical restrictions that make it unsuitable for some large-scale deployments. Differences in the Express product include:

<ul><li>Maximum database size of 10 GB per database in SQL Server 2019, SQL Server 2017, SQL Server 2016, SQL Server 2014, SQL Server 2012, and 2008 R2 Express<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> (4 GB for SQL Server 2008 Express and earlier; compared to 2 GB in the former <a href="MSDE" title="MSDE">MSDE</a>). The limit applies per database (log files excluded); but in some scenarios users can access more data through the use of multiple interconnected databases.</li>

<li>No SQL Server Agent service<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a></li>

<li>Restricted hardware usage limits:

<ul><li>Single physical CPU, but multiple cores allowable<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a></li>

<li>1 GB of RAM (runs on a system with higher RAM amount, but uses only at most 1 GB per instance of SQL Server Database Engine. "Recommended: Express Editions: 1 GB All other editions: At least 4 GB and should be increased as database size increases to ensure optimal performance."<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a>).<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> Express with Advanced Services has a limit of 4 GB per instance of Reporting Services (not available on other Express variants). Analysis Services is not available for any Express variant.</li></ul></li></ul>

Unlike the predecessor product, <a href="MSDE" title="MSDE">MSDE</a>, the Express product does not include a concurrent workload-governor to "limit performance if the database engine receives more work than is typical of a small number of users."<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a>

SQL Server Express includes several GUI tools for database management. These include:

<ul><li><a href="SQL_Server_Management_Studio" title="SQL Server Management Studio">SQL Server Management Studio</a> – since 2012 SP1;<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> before that, only a stripped-down version called SQL Server Management Studio Express is provided</li>

<li>SQL Server Configuration Manager</li>

<li>SQL Server Surface Area Configuration tool</li>

<li>SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio</li></ul>

The predecessor product <a href="MSDE" title="MSDE">MSDE</a> generally lacked basic GUI management tools,<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a>

Features available in SQL Server "Standard" and better editions but absent from SQL Server Express include:

<ul><li><a href="Microsoft_Analysis_Services" title="Microsoft Analysis Services">Analysis Services</a></li>

<li><a href="SQL_Server_Integration_Services" title="SQL Server Integration Services">Integration Services</a></li>

<li>Notification Services</li></ul>

SQL Server Express LocalDB announced at 2011.<a href="#cite_note-Microsoft_Announce_2011-16">[16]</a>

This version supports silent installation,<a href="#cite_note-Microsoft_Docs_2011-4">[4]</a> requires no management and is compatible with other editions of SQL Server at the API level.<a href="#cite_note-Microsoft_Announce_2011-16">[16]</a>

LocalDB runs as non-admin user, requires no configuration or administration.<a href="#cite_note-Microsoft_Announce_2011-16">[16]</a><a href="#cite_note-Microsoft_Docs_2011-4">[4]</a>

LocalDB limits to local system only and supports no remote connections.<a href="#cite_note-Microsoft_Announce_2011-16">[16]</a> A special connection string is needed to connect this version.<a href="#cite_note-Express_DB_LocalDB-3">[3]</a>

It is possible create several instances of the LocalDB for different applications.<a href="#cite_note-Microsoft_Announce_2011-16">[16]</a>

Default instance names 'SqlLocalDB'.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Variants">Variants</h2></div>

Microsoft makes SQL Server Express N1 available as:

<ul><li>An integrated edition with management tools</li>

<li>Core database-engine only</li>

<li>A SQL Server Express with Advanced Services edition (first introduced relatively late in Q2 2006 compared to the original release) with a reduced-functionality version of <a href="SQL_Server_Reporting_Services" title="SQL Server Reporting Services">SQL Server Reporting Services</a> and with full-text search capabilities</li></ul>

In the Free 2005 Express version, for example, a standard approach to installation options was provided, as follows.

Generally, the SQL 2005 Express installers are packaged with the following consistent naming convention:

<dl><dt>SQLEXPR.EXE</dt>

<dd>Has installers for BOTH 32-bit and 64-bit processors, but is a basic install</dd>

<dt>SQLEXPR32.EXE</dt>

<dd>Has ONLY the installer for 32-bit processors (still the basic install)</dd>

<dt>SQLEXPRWT.EXE</dt>

<dd>Has installers for BOTH 32-bit and 64-bit processors and SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) (2008 R2)</dd>

<dt>SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE</dt>

<dd>Has the basics and SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) + Reporting and Full Text Queries</dd>

<dt>SQLEXPR_TOOLKIT.EXE</dt>

<dd>Has the basics and SSMSE and Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS)</dd></dl>

These optional variants have gone through several service packs (SP), and each SP installer can be used without using the older ones first:
