I'm trying to figure which version of vb.net 2003 that I need.

I am a dba that usually develops scripts to talk to all of my SQL servers
and do things such as back them up, etc. I want to start using vb.net 2003
to do this.

Keep in mind that these apps will run from one place and then hit all the
servers....I will not be uploading the application to every server and
running them there.....


Whice version do I need?

Enterprise Developer, Enterprise Architect?

Thanks!!
 
FnGuy,

You probably needs a very simple version because you are the only one who is
using it. And than use as much as possible the code part.

If I was you I would start with the Beta VB2005 express to check if that
will fits me.

I never have tried yet, however it is the way I would go if I had to set my
first step.
The beta is free to try.

I hope this helps,

We don't use beta on our production environment. Do you know which version
of 2003.net will work.

Standard won't work, I'm sure. But which of the others allow me to connect
to more than one server that is remote?

In that case, I'd suggest waiting about three weeks until VS2005 is
available. (In fact, I believe the RTM version may be on MSDN much
sooner than that.) From what I've seen, the difference between 2003 and
2005 is *well* worth the short wait.
 
The new version is not an option for us. .net 2003 only.

Again, since the price differences are significant I need to know which
version is required to run a single application against multiple database
servers...
 
The standard might do. All you need is VB or C# and the ADO.Net classes. If
you want an object oriented approach you can use SQLDMO, which has a COM
interface, for which you don't even need VS .NET (VB6 will do).
