Deploying MSDE

Hi All,
Is it possible to use SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition for development and then deploy the database on MSDE?
Regards.
Yes, it is.
There is very little missing from MSDE, but it has limitations in database
size and number of connections. (Also, see SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
for where this is going.)

|||So does all this mean, a VS.NET 2005 developer can create a database in SQL
Server and then ship this free version of SQL Server and it will install
easily.
If so, Hallelujah!
MSDE is a pain to install and especially to have your users install it.
SQL Server is great for large companies but for small scale 5-10 users,
buying a $5000+ product just for a database and having all the management
overhead is a pain in the rear and that is the nitch that jet files have
filled before and MSDE was trying to fill.
For me I want to use a free limited version of SQL Server for such
applications and if the company gets real large and starts needing more then
they can buy the big brother. But I really need it to install easily
without much user intervention.
Is this what we can expect?
Thanks Russell,
