Following through on a promise made in April, Microsoft at TechEd 2006 released the first Community Technology Preview of SQL Server Everywhere Edition, a new version of the company's database product for client systems and mobile devices.
With a footprint of under 2 megabytes on disk, SQL Server Everywhere features a subset of the full server functionality and is designed to provide an organized data store for clients when offline. Everywhere Edition can synchronize back with a full SQL Server database, or operate independently.
Explaining some usage scenarios to BetaNews on Tuesday, Microsoft said an application could utilize SQL Server when connected to a network and then transition to a local data store provided by SQL Server Everywhere when the user disconnects.
