Talk:MSDE

MSDE acronym stand for....
From what I've come across from Microsoft, MSDE stands for Microsoft Data Engine, not Microsoft Desktop Engine. This link is to a technical document from MS on upgrading to SQL Server 2003 from Access. In the "Summary" section, you see the reference to MSDE.

 * On this MS page, it's labelled "The Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000)". Confusing.

 * The mystery is explained on this web page (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms811092.aspx):
 * "All references to “MSDE” indicating the original SQL Server 7.0-based “Microsoft Data Engine” are also technically accurate for SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000), the SQL Server 2000-based MSDE successor. Likewise, the below references to Access 2000 and SQL Server 7.0 remain valid for Access 2002, and SQL Server 2000 except as otherwise noted."
