XPe Database Question

I understand that a database is required for XPe development (to store the
componenet configurations)

I want the data to be stored on a server so that the data is backed-up. The
team will consist of 2 members at most - but likely only to be a single
developer.

I understand there are 2 database options:

1. SQL Server
2. Microsoft Data Engine (MSDE)

What are the advantages/disadvantages in these?

Can anyone confirm if either or both of these are provided in the XPe
development tools. If not what are the costs involved in these?

Thanks

SQL Server is the full Database server that will alow you to access the
tables if you want to. I suggest that you don't mess with the tables. In a
team setup, you will want ot use SQL server; otherwise use MSDE.

Only, MSDE comes with the XPe tools.

I just found this:-

From http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy/default.mspx

Note: The retail price for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition is
$49.95. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition may be installed and used
by one user to design, develop, test and demonstrate your programs.

Can the Developer Edition be used for XPe development?
