Talk:MSDE
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

[edit] MSDE acronym for....
On this MS page, it's labelled "The Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000)". Confusing.
